Will the Houlton Land Port of Entry Project require Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) compliance?

Yes, all our projects follow the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and the General Services Administration Manual Regulations (GSAM/R) Per GSAM 536.7105-3 and FAR Part 30 Cost Accounting Standards. This project is under $50,000,000 so we will follow the Modified CAS Coverage, see below and Reference 48 C.F.R Subpart

9903.2 - CAS Program Requirements, Subpart 9903.201-2.

Types of CAS coverage: (b) Modified Coverage:

(1) Modified CAS coverage requires only that the contractor comply with Standard 9904.401, Consistency in Estimating, Accumulating, and Reporting Costs, Standard 9904.402, Consistency in Allocating Costs Incurred for the Same Purpose, Standard 9904.405, Accounting for Unallowable Costs and Standard 9904.406, Cost Accounting Standard - Cost Accounting Period. Modified, rather, than full, CAS coverage may be applied to a covered contract of less than $50 million awarded to a business unit that received less than $50 million in net CAS-covered awards in the immediately preceding cost accounting period.

(2) If any one contract is awarded with modified CAS coverage, all CAS-covered contracts awarded to that business unit during that cost accounting period must also have modified coverage with the following exception: if the business unit receives a single CAS-covered contract award of $50 million or more, that contract must be subject to full CAS coverage. Thereafter, any covered contract awarded in the same cost accounting period must also be subject to full CAS coverage.

(3) A contract awarded with modified CAS coverage shall remain subject to such coverage throughout its life regardless of changes in the business unit's CAS status during subsequent cost accounting periods.

Bid Bond: Please confirm that a bid bond is to be submitted with this proposal. If a bid bond is required at this stage, which volume should it be included in?

A bid bond is required when the Construction Option is elected, well after the contract is awarded. So, it does not need to be submitted by the proposal due date.
