Preface

This section is a synopsis of the items identified by Reclamation that have been problematic for some contractors. The items have been identified through previous real-world performance of construction with Reclamation. The following items are not all-encompassing of problems that may or may not be encountered and are only meant to identify general problems contractors may run into when contracting with Reclamation for construction work. The purpose of this document is to allow contractors to propose construction more accurately at contract inception and reduce contract interpretation disagreements after contract award. It is highly recommended the Contractor read and become intimately familiar with both the solicitation and contract specifications and drawings prior to construction, as that can also head off potential disagreements as the work is being completed.

NOTE: The examples given within are for reference purposes only. Reclamation does not take responsibility for the application of calculations during proposal creation. The Contractor is required to apply all calculations internally, and the items in this document are for awareness purposes only.

Quality Control:

FAR Clause 52.246-12 requires the Contractor to establish a construction inspection system to ensure quality. Accordingly, per section 01 46 00 – Quality Procedures, a Quality Control Plan is required to clearly outline the Contractors Quality Control (QC) Program to cover all construction operations, both onsite and offsite, including work by subcontractors, fabricators, suppliers, and purchasing agents. The program must include a qualified, experienced Quality Control Supervisor (see part 1.04 Qualifications of the above specification section), who has authority delegated from an authorized official of the firm, to develop and manage quality control processes, including the three phase control system (preparatory phase, initial phase, and follow-up phase) for all aspects of work specified and who has authorization to stop work if necessary. A well-managed Contractor’s QC Program is essential to ensuring the work conforms to contract requirements. The effectiveness of the Contractor’s QC Program will be subject to continued review and approval by the Government’s Contracting Officer (CO).

Reclamation will conduct its own Quality Assurance (QA) program, which will include inspection and tests performed by Government staff to ensure compliance with terms of the contract. Test performed by Reclamation will be used to ensure compliance with contract requirements and are not to be a replacement for specified Contractor quality testing. Acceptance of materials shall be based on passing of both Contractor’s QC testing and Government’s QA testing. In the event of a discrepancy between Contractor’s and Government’s test results, Reclamation’s quality assurance test results will prevail unless convincing evidence is presented as to why it should not.

Quantity Surveys:

FAR Clause 52.236-16 Alt I will be included in this contract. Many contractor personnel have had issues providing adequate survey data IAW the referenced clause. This requires both preliminary and final surveys. The contract requires (specs and clause) that a surveying plan be submitted (Surveying Plan) 28 days prior to beginning surveying work. The surveying plan must be approved by Reclamation prior to the beginning of surveying work. The contract also requires submittal of all quantity survey notes and computations, as well as workday’s survey notes. This is important as the quantity for payment must be verified against the actual survey data. Quantity surveys and calculations, along with as-built drawings, are required to be submitted with each monthly progress payment for a Contractor’s invoice to be considered as proper.

The Government will have survey crews on site as part of its QA program. However, this is not to be relied on by the Contractor as meeting the survey specifications. The Contractor is expected to provide full-time survey support under the direction of a registered professional land surveyor licensed in the state where the work is being completed IAW the survey specifications (section 01 71 20 – Surveying). Historically, many contractors have missed this requirement and it has led to payment disagreements. See “Payline” below for common problem.

Payline Method of Payment Calculation:

Reclamation pays through the Payline method IAW attached drawings and specifications for Common Excavation for Structures, Backfill for Structures, Compacting Backfill about Structures, and Access Road Excavation. Regardless of actual widths, bottoms, and side slopes excavated, measurement will be made to the paylines shown on drawings or to paylines as directed by COR. For all pipeline payment under the following Specifications sections, but not limited to section 33 11 10 – Pipeline General Requirements, section 33 42 30 – Corrugated Metal Pipe Culvert, and section 35 21 95 – Steel Manifold Piping all trench earthwork costs (common excavation, rock excavation, backfill for pipe trench, bedding, embedment, and compacting backfill in pipeline) are included in the prices offered in the Price Schedule for applicable pipelines, drain pipe, manifold pipe, and culverts, etc.. See applicable specification section 31 23 22 – Pipe Trench Earthwork, section 33 42 30 – Corrugated Metal Pipe Culvert, and section 35 21 95 – Steel Manifold Piping for additional detail on how the Contract is set up for payment for those quantities. The overall contract price includes the full scope of work, ensure a full understanding of quantity calculation is had prior to submitting price proposal. This is an advisory statement only.

Submittals:

The submittals required for Reclamation projects can be very detailed. Reclamation is a very data-centric organization of engineering-minded personnel. As such, the data needs to be correct and submittals shall be thought out, in a logical format, and be thorough. A ‘shotgun-spread’ approach will not work. Meaning, if a contractor submits superfluous information and/or with no format or shown understanding of the items, it will likely lead to rejection and a required resubmittal of the items. The same is true if a contractor only submits a portion of the items required under a requirement submittal number (RSN). The Contractor is responsible for providing quality control of contractor and subcontractor submittals to ensure they contain all, but no more than, the items required by a particular RSN.

Reclamation will retain many, if not all, of the records in library retention for many years. This is for awareness purposes only.

As-Built Drawings:

Section 01 78 30 of the specifications covers this in detail. Reclamation expects full compliance with keeping drawings on site as required in the specifications. See specifications for further information.

Environmental Compliance and Permitting:

Environmental Compliance is a very strict item. In undertaking the construction of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project, Reclamation has built a healthy and trusting relationship with the Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency (NNEPA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Army Corps of Engineers in complying with various environmental regulations, namely the Clean Water Act (CWA). Reclamation values these relationships and expects full compliance from the Contractor on all environmental items.

Many contractors unfamiliar with Reclamation run into initial issues because they: 1) do not have a dedicated environmental compliance member/team familiar with Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq. (1972)) permitting implementation experience, and specifically Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), 2) and rely on Reclamation to point out non-compliance reactively, rather than proactively implementing and managing this aspect of the job.

Some items of small nature may be required after contract award to comply with local Right of Way (ROW) changes/requirements.

These items will be paid on a case-by-case basis on actual costs plus any reasonable overhead or profit.

Example: encountered well water, directed safety and water preservation compliance, paid back based on quantity surveys of actual qty (not payline) for overage directed work.

Concern Example: Standing water pooled up near open manholes, Reclamation directed that the manholes be covered to prevent rainwater backfilling the pipe, per the specification requirements. Environmental personnel inspections identified multiple discrepancies with SWPPP compliance, directed fixes at no additional cost to the government. Be mindful of the requirements as they can add up if not initially planned for.

Cultural Resources Compliance and Archaeological Monitoring:

Given the density of archaeological sites and artifacts in this area of the country, some items of archaeological and cultural importance are expected to be encountered during construction, including previously unknown sites and artifacts called discoveries. The delays for any ROW restrictions needed to protect those resources shown in the bid documents shall be included in the initial proposal. The contract may be modified for time and/or cost if cultural resources discoveries are encountered and the Contractor does not have other areas where work can be shifted. Be sure to read the specifications sections. See specifications section 01 57 90 and Biological at 01 57 60 for further details. It can be expected that the construction monitors of an Archaeological or Monitoring Firm may contact the Reclamation personnel and have the Contracting Officer (CO) direct a temporary stop work until the discovery is mitigated or otherwise addressed and resolved.

Staying inside the ROW is of paramount importance as well. While a contractor may not place any significance on any local flora and fauna, these may have deep significance to the Navajo Nation or local community members as a sacred plant. Reclamation adheres to strict compliance with respectful observance of the Navajo Nation customs and expects the Contractor to be mindful of this as well.

Finally, any action of the Contractor related to carrying out the responsibilities and tasks associated with this contract, whether direct or indirect, are subject to compliance with environmental and cultural resources laws and regulations. Such indirect actions could include but are not limited to: grading of roads to improve access to job site, water source outside project ROW, etc.; subcontracts for off-site ground disturbing activities (i.e., borrow areas, disposal of excess excavated material, etc. – see Off ROW Land Use Coordination submittal requirements in section 01 31 19 – Project Management and Coordination).

Taxes:

The Contractor must rely on its internal tax experts to ensure full compliance with tax laws. Be aware that both New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax (NMGRT) and Navajo Nation (NN) tax may apply to the work, depending on where the work is performed.

Project Specific Areas of Concern, Interest, and/or Consideration:

There are several project specific areas of concern, interest, and/or consideration on this project. The Contractor shall be aware that a portion of the project right-of-way in Reach 12.2 lies within State Highway 264 ROW and are subject to New Mexico Department of Transportation Work permit requirements (see sections 01 55 00 – Vehicular Access Parking, 01 55 20 – Traffic Control, 01 56 10 – Protection of Existing Installations, and 51 00 10 – Property Owner Agreements). Reclamation is responsible for obtaining the Utility Permit for permanent permission to construct and maintain the pipeline in the highway ROW. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining the Work permits, including traffic control plan preparation and approval.

Additionally, the Contractor needs to maintain convenient access to private driveways, houses, and buildings along the line of work.

Site Visit:

Please contact the Walter Shaw (wshaw@usbr.gov, work 505-324-5032 or cell 505-258-0251) to be added to the attendee list and for any additional questions or information concerning the site visit.

IMPORTANT: The following guidelines are required to attend the site visit:

a. Social distancing is practiced.

b. Only one attendee is allowed, at the site visit, per contractor.

c. A mask is required to be worn throughout the site visit in accordance with Navajo Nation's Public Health

Order.

Subcontractors:

Subcontractors cannot submit partial proposals straight to the Government. Subcontractors shall propose directly to prime contractors.

Items will not be pre-qualified during the synopsis or solicitation period. It is the prime contractor’s responsibility to confirm item meets the specifications of this requirement.

Partnering:

After contract award, it is Reclamation’s intention to add a formal Partnering approach by contract modification on how for the Contractor to integrate into their project management plan during contract performance. This shall include Partnering with Reclamation, Project Sponsors, major sub-contractors, and major sub-consultants to help proactively identify potential problems and solutions in a collaborative environment.

Upon receiving the notification from the Contractor, the Contracting Officer must -

(1) Advise the Contractor in writing after receipt of the Contractor's letter that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract effort and does not constitute a change under the Changes clause of the contract; or

(2) Advise the Contractor that the Government will issue a written change order.

(f) A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer either to agree that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract or to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect to the technical direction will be subject to the provisions of the clause entitled “Disputes.”

(End of clause)

SECTION H ‐‐ Special Contract Requirements

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at: https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6)The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.
