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. Day and time you will be out at the site (regardless of method of surveying.)
Available dates are September 1-4, 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 1 – 4, by appointment only. To schedule, contact Ms. Yesenia Castro at (915)832-4724 or 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.
