AMENDMENT 0001 TO INVITATION FOR BIDS (IFB)

Subject: Site Investigation and Measurement Responsibilities; Technology Tools;

Environmental & Quality Obligations; Site Visit Scheduling; Due Date Extension

1) PURPOSE

This amendment clarifies bidder responsibilities for site investigations and measurements, permits the use of technology tools to verify quantities, affirms environmental and quality obligations, provides site-visit scheduling details, and extends the due date for offers.

2) SITE INVESTIGATION & MEASUREMENT RESPONSIBILITIES (NO GOVERNMENT

REIMBURSEMENT)

a. Bidders are solely responsible, at their own expense, for conducting any site investigations, measurements, verifications, identifications, and documentation necessary to prepare an accurate and complete bid. No compensation, reimbursement, or equitable adjustment will be paid by the Government for any costs associated with site visits, investigations, measurements, testing, or data collection performed by bidders or their representatives.

– See FAR 52.237-1 “Site Visit” (Services) (prescribed by FAR 37.110(a)), which urges offerors to inspect the site and states that failure to inspect will not constitute grounds for a claim after award.

– Where the contemplated work includes construction or removal/demolition activities, FAR 52.236-3 “Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work” (prescribed by FAR 36.503) applies; the Government assumes no responsibility for conclusions drawn by the bidder and failure to investigate does not relieve the bidder of proper performance without additional expense.

b. The Government does not assume responsibility for performing measurements or quantity takeoffs on the bidder’s behalf. Bidders shall tender bids based on their own verified data and remain accountable for estimating and performance risk consistent with the above clauses.

3) PERMITTED TECHNOLOGY TOOLS

To ensure accuracy and compliance, bidders/contractors may use technology tools— including drones/UAS, imaging systems, measurement devices, and digital geolocation tools—subject to applicable Federal, state, and local law, airspace rules, and facility security requirements. All necessary permissions/authorizations are the bidder’s responsibility. The Government will not reimburse any associated costs.

For drone use, the following information needs to be provided ASAP by any bidder who plans to use a drone to survey the stockpiles.

1. Screen name

2. Make

3. Model

4. Serial no.

5. For all bidders performing a survey, regardless of method of surveying, provide the day and time you will be out at the site. Available dates are September 2-4, 7am-5:30pm.

4) QUALITY CONTROL OBLIGATIONS

The contractor is responsible for quality control and for tendering only supplies or services that conform to contract requirements, maintaining substantiating evidence, and performing inspections/tests unless specifically reserved for the Government. See FAR

46.105 “Contractor responsibilities” and, for fixed-price service contracts, FAR 52.246-4 “Inspection of Services—Fixed-Price.”

5) ENVIRONMENTAL/WASTE-MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

In addition to contract-specific requirements, contractors shall ensure waste-management practices (including removal, handling, and transportation of debris) comply with all applicable environmental protection, pollution prevention, and waste-reduction requirements.

– For performance at a Federal facility, include FAR 52.223-5 “Pollution Prevention and Right-to-Know Information” (prescribed by FAR 23.406(a)).

– Where applicable, include FAR 52.223-10 “Waste Reduction Program” (prescribed by FAR 23.406(c)).

– These implement the policies in FAR Subpart 23.4 (Pollution Prevention, Environmental Management Systems, and Waste Reduction).

6) BIDDER SELF-CERTIFICATION OF QUANTITIES REMOVED

Prior to submitting an offer, bidders are responsible for accurately measuring, verifying, identifying, and documenting all project materials proposed to be removed from the site (and any associated disposition plans), consistent with the above quality/environment clauses. Documentation shall be made available to the Government upon request.

7) SITE VISIT – BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

The site will be available between September 2 – 4, by appointment only. To schedule, send an email to seone.jones@ibwc.gov and olga.castro@ibwc.gov. Bidders are urged and expected to inspect the site in accordance with FAR 52.237-1.

8) ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF AMENDMENT (SEALED BIDDING)

Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment in accordance with FAR 52.214-3 “Amendments to Invitations for Bids.” Acknowledgment must be received by the time and

9) DUE DATE EXTENSION

The Due Date for Offers is extended to September 14, 2026, at 3:00 PM Mountain Time. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged.

SECTION H – SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.01 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL HAZARD ENDORSEMENTS

(a) General Provision.

In accordance with FAR 52.228-5, "Insurance—Work on a Government Installation," the Contractor shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain throughout the entire performance period of this contract the minimum insurance coverage and specialized endorsements specified below. Proof of insurance shall be submitted via an ACORD 25 Certificate of Insurance (COI) to the Contracting Officer (CO) for approval within ten (10) calendar days after contract award and prior to the commencement of any on-site operations.

(b) Required Baseline Insurance Coverages.

The Contractor shall maintain the following primary liability policies with limits not less than those prescribed below:

1. Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability: Statutory limits as required by the State of Texas, with Employer's Liability limits of not less than $1,000,000 per accident/$1,000,000 per disease.

2. Commercial General Liability (CGL): $1,000,000 per Occurrence / $2,000,000 General Aggregate for bodily injury and property damage.

3. Business Automobile Liability: $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit (CSL) per accident, covering all owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles utilized in the hauling of sediment under this contract.

(c) Contractor’s Equipment and Inland Marine Coverage.

Because this contract involves the deployment of high-value specialized civil machinery along an active waterway, the Contractor shall maintain a specialized Contractor’s Equipment Floater / Inland Marine Policy to guarantee operational continuity and rapid asset replacement.

1. Minimum Limits:

o Any One Loss / Catastrophe Limit: Not less than $1,000,000 (or 100% of the total aggregated market value of all equipment deployed on-site at any single time).

o Leased or Rented Equipment Endorsement: Not less than $250,000. This is mandatory to cover any machinery leased or rented from third-party commercial vendors or other small dredging concerns utilized to meet self-performance thresholds.

2. Valuation Basis: All property and equipment coverage must be written on a Replacement Cost Basis (Actual Cash Value formulations are non-compliant).

3. Mandatory Waterborne / Near-Water Operational Endorsement: The policy must explicitly feature an endorsement extending coverage to machinery operating on, adjacent to, or over water, including riverbanks, shorelines, mud retention basins, or floating platforms. Standard water submersion or flood exclusions affecting heavy machinery are strictly prohibited.

(d) Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL).

Due to the proximity of operations to the Rio Grande waterway, the Contractor shall maintain a dedicated Contractors Pollution Liability policy. Standard CGL policies containing an "Absolute Pollution Exclusion" will not satisfy this requirement.

1. Minimum Limits: $1,000,000 per Occurrence / $2,000,000 Policy Aggregate.

2. Scope of Coverage: The policy must provide coverage for both sudden/accidental and gradual releases of pollutants, sediment turbidity spikes violating environmental permits, and third-party downstream damages resulting from operations.

3. Mandatory Transport and Disposal Endorsements: The policy must explicitly include:

o Transportation Pollution Liability (TPL): Covering pollution conditions arising out of the loading, transit, spilling, or unloading of sediment/waste on public roadways.

o Non-Owned Disposal Site (NODS) Coverage: Extending liability protection to the government and contractor should the designated third-party sediment dump facility become compromised.

(e) Commercial Umbrella / Excess Liability.

The Contractor shall procure a Commercial Umbrella or Excess Liability policy providing a minimum ceiling of $5,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate.

1. Follow-Form Requirement: The policy must be written on a True Follow-Form basis, inheriting all standard protections, definitions, and requirements of the underlying primary policies.

2. Underlying Schedule: The Umbrella policy must apply as excess directly over the primary Commercial General Liability, Business Auto Liability, Employers Liability, and Contractors Pollution Liability policies.

(f) Mandatory Government Protections and Endorsements.

All policies required under paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this clause shall be endorsed to include the following legal clauses:

1. Additional Insured: The United States Government, [Insert Specific Agency Name], and its officers, agents, and employees shall be named as an Additional Insured for all liabilities arising out of work performed under this contract.

2. Waiver of Subrogation: The insurance carrier shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the United States Government, its modifications, or its changing site conditions.

3. Notice of Cancellation: The Contractor’s insurance policies shall feature an endorsement requiring the insurance company to provide at least thirty (30) calendar days advance written notice to the Contracting Officer prior to any material policy cancellation, non-renewal, or restrictive modification.

H.02 Post-Award Limitations on Subcontracting Reporting and Enforcement (FAR 52.219-14)

A. Definitions

As used in this clause, Similarly Situated Entity (SSE) means a first-tier subcontractor that has the same small business program status that qualified the Prime Contractor for the award, and is considered small for the NAICS code assigned to this subcontract.

B. Mandatory Performance Tracking Metric

The contractor shall track compliance with FAR 52.219-14 using contract dollars incurred for personnel (direct labor costs). Materials, equipment, travel, overhead, and profit shall be excluded from all compliance calculations.

C. Reporting Frequency and Deadlines

1. Semi-Annual Reports: The Contractor shall submit a Limitations on Subcontracting Compliance Report every six (6) months from the date of contract award. Reports are due within 15 calendar days following the end of each six-month period.

2. Period of Performance / Option Year Reconciliations: A cumulative report covering the entire preceding performance period must be submitted no later than 30 calendar days prior to the expiration of the base period or any subsequent option period. The Government reserves the right to withhold the exercise of option periods if compliance cannot be verified.

3. Final Closeout Report: A final, comprehensive project report shall be submitted within 45 calendar days of the completion of the contract period of performance.

D. Required Submission Documentation

Each report submission must be sent to the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), containing:

• SBA Form 2406 (or an equivalent agency-approved spreadsheet template).

• Certified payroll summaries or redacted general ledger labor reports isolating the Prime’s direct labor spend.

• Written certifications from each SSE confirming their small business status remains active and valid for the tracking period, alongside copies of their invoices detailing personnel costs.

E. Remedies and Penalties for Non-Compliance

1. Withholding of Payments: In accordance with FAR 52.232-5, if the CO determines the Contractor is failing to maintain the required 50% self-performance ratio (inclusive of SSE labor), the Government may withhold up to 10% of subsequent progress payments until a realistic corrective action plan is approved.

2. Past Performance Impacts: Failure to meet the 50% threshold at the conclusion of any period of performance will be documented as an "Unsatisfactory" rating under the "Compliance" element within the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

3. Statutory Penalties: Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 645(g), any contractor found to have intentionally misrepresented or failed to comply with the Limitations on Subcontracting rule without an approved waiver may be subject to a civil penalty equal to the greater of $500,000 or the total amount spent on subcontractors beyond the permitted 50% limit.
