INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND OTHER STATEMENTS TO

BIDDERS/OFFERORS

GENERAL INTENTION

The purpose of this effort is to gut and renovate spaces for administrative swing space on the 11th floor. The Buffalo VAMC requires a Contractor to perform construction work necessary to accomplish this goal

SITE VISIT

Bidders are urged and encouraged to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of performing these services. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

There will only be one (1) organized site visit. The site visit is scheduled for Thursday, March 21st, 2024, @ 10:00 am (EST). Please bring a government issued photo ID. You will be met by the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative.

Attendance is not mandatory; however, all bidders are strongly encouraged to attend.

REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION (RFI):

To obtain clarifications and/or additional information concerning the contract requirements or specifications, submit a written RFI via email to Amanda.Baumler@va.gov.

RFIs will be responded to as necessary in amendment format which will be posted on http://www.sam.gov

The deadline for submission of RFIs for this solicitation is March 29, 2024 at 10:00 AM (EST).

No questions will be answered after this date/time unless determined to be in the best interest of the Government as determined by the Contracting Officer. Telephone RFIs will not be accepted or returned.

BASIS FOR AWARD

A contract will be awarded using FAR Part 14 Sealed Bidding procedures, selecting the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to the invitation for bids, will be most advantageous to the Government, considering only price and the price-related factors included in the invitation. Sealed bids will be opened at the specified date and time. The selected bid must be determined to be a fair and reasonable price.

RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

A Determination of Responsibility shall be accomplished for the apparent awardee prior to processing the award. The above information, along with other information obtained from Government systems, such as the OSHA and EPA online inspection history databases will be used to make the Determination of Responsibility. Failure to affirm being within the guidelines above or submit this information may result in a determination of “Non-Responsibility” for the bidder/offeror. NOTE: Any information received by the Government that would cause for a negative Determination of Responsibility may make the bidder/offeror ineligible for award.

This requirement is applicable to all subcontracting tiers, and prospective prime contractors are responsible for determining the responsibility of their prospective subcontractors
