Any exception to the terms and conditions of this Invitation for Bid (IFB) will result in a non-responsive bid.

Failure to provide a definitive price will result in a non-responsive bid.

DETERMINATION OF RESPONSIBILITY

A Determination of Responsibility will be conducted for the apparent low bidder/awardee prior to award of the project. The above information, along with other information obtained from Government systems, such as, but not limited to the OSHA and EPA online inspection history databases, as well as any other information the Contracting Officer has determined to be valid, will be used to make the Determination of Responsibility. Note: Any information received by the Government that would be cause for a negative Determination of Responsibility may make the offeror ineligible for award.

The winning bidder must be determined as "responsible" by the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR Part 9, Contractor Qualifications.

To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must –

1. Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them.

1. Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments.

1. Have a satisfactory performance record.

1. Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

1. Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors).

1. Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

1. Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

Note: The contracting officer shall obtain information regarding the responsibility of the prospective low bidder, including requesting pre-award surveys, when necessary, promptly after a bid opening in accordance with FAR 9.105-1—Obtaining Information. The prospective low bidder shall be prepared to provide documentation to support this determination within two business days following bid opening.

VETS 4212

Title 38, USC Section 4212(d), codified at 41 CFR Section 61-300, requires that federal contractors report, at least annually, the number and category of veterans who are within their workforce. Submission of the VETS-4212 reporting information can be done electronically (https://www.dol.gov/vets/vets4212). Award cannot be made unless the awardee has filed their VETS-4212 report. Therefore, all offerors are encouraged to file every year. The Contracting Officer may request a copy of the email confirmation of receipt notification prior to awarding the project.

SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM)

Federal Acquisition Regulations require that federal contractors register in the System for Award Management (SAM) database (https://sam.gov) and enter all mandatory information into the system. Offerors are required to be registered in SAM at the time an offer is submitted in order to comply with the annual representations and certifications requirements (see FAR 52.204-7).

REVIEW REQUIRED REGISTRATION WITH CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS) As prescribed in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 42.1102(e), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) evaluates contractor past performance on all construction contracts that exceed $900,000 and shares those evaluations with other Federal Government contract specialists and procurement officials. The FAR requires the contractor be provided an opportunity to comment on past performance evaluations prior to each report closing. To fulfill this requirement, VA uses an online database, CPARS, which is maintained by the Naval Sea Logistics Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. CPARS is available to all Federal agencies and is the system used to collect and retrieve performance assessment reports used in source selection determinations. CPARS also includes access to the federal awardee performance and integrity information system (FAPIIS). FAPIIS is a web-enabled application accessed via CPARS for contractor responsibility determination information.

Each contractor whose contract award is estimated to exceed $900,000 is required to register within the CPARS database (https://cpars.gov) Help registering can be obtained by contacting Customer Support Desk @ DSN: 684-1690 or COMM: 207- 438-1690. Registration should occur no later than thirty days after contract award and must be kept current should there be any change to the contractor’s registered representative.

For contracts with a period of one year or less, the contracting officer will perform a single evaluation when the contract is complete. For contracts exceeding one year, the contracting officer will evaluate the contractor’s performance annually. Interim reports will be filed each year until the last year of the contract, when the final report will be completed. The report shall be assigned in CPARS to the contractor’s designated representative for comment. The contractor’s representative will have thirty days to submit any comments and re-assign the report to the VA contracting officer.

Failure to have a current registration in the CPARS database, or to re-assign the report to the VA contracting officer within those thirty days, will result in the Government’s evaluation being placed on file in the database with a statement that the contractor failed to respond.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS AND SPECIAL AGREEMENT CHECKS

All contractor employees are subject to the same level of investigation as VA employees who have access to VA Sensitive Information. The level of background investigation is commensurate with the level of access needed to perform all work as identified in the solicitation documents. This requirement is applicable to all subcontractor personnel requiring the same access. As per VA Directive 0710, costs of background investigations will be borne by the contractor. Please be advised the awardee will need to coordinate with the VA Medical Center concerning badging requirements.

HHS/OIG EXCLUSIONS

To ensure the individuals providing services under the contract have not engaged in fraud or abuse regarding Sections 1128 and 1128A of the Social Security Act regarding federal health care programs, the contractor is required to check the Exclusions Database – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG), List of Excluded Individuals/Entities on the website (https://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov) for each person providing services under this contract. Further the Contractor is required to certify in its proposal that all persons listed in the contractor’s proposal have been compared against the OIG list and are NOT listed. During the performance of this contract the contractor is prohibited from using any individual or business listed on the List of Excluded Individuals/Entities.

REFERENCES TO VA ENGINEER, RESIDENT ENGINEER, OR PROJECT MANAGER

Any reference contained within the solicitation/contract specifications and/or drawings to the “VA Engineer,” “Resident Engineer,” or “Project Manager,” or their abbreviations shall be replaced with “Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).”

PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE

Before any work is started, a Pre-Construction Conference between the Contractor, Contracting Officer, and Project Engineer (COR) will be arranged through the Contracting Officer. Such matters as work commencement, sequence of work, estimated time for completion, subcontractor information, and the overall responsibilities of the Contractor, Contracting Officer, and Project Engineer/COR, in the fulfillment of all aspects of the contract, will be discussed.

TAXES

Contractors must take into account FAR 52.229-3; "Federal, State and Local Taxes" and its Special Note in their pricing. The FAR clause and its Special Note provide guidance on taxes being applied to pricing.
