GSA, PBS, Acquisition Management Division 819 Taylor Street, Floor 11 Fort Worth, TX 76210 Attn: Ashley Morgan, Contracting Officer

AMENDMENT 1 – Kika De La Garza Land Port of Entry Border Roadway Improvement and Construction (BRIC), Pharr, TX , RFP No. 47PH0825R0001

This amendment is issued to update the following:

1. Pg 29 of The Solicitation: Factor 4 – Sustainability Language

2. Updated Specifications 01 29 00 Payment Procedures and 01 33 00 Submittal Procedures

3. Answer question received regarding Asphalt EPDs

4. Pg 55 of The Agreement: Update to Administrative Matters (2) Payments. Progress Payment Documentation.

5. Pg 53 of The Agreement: I.H. Statement of Work, Specifications, Drawings, Exhibits, and Other Attachments, (4) Wage Determination TX20240255 has been updated

1. Factor 4

Note 2: For each offeror that is unable to submit any of the compliant EPDs by the proposal due date, the offeror shall submit a statement for each such missing compliant EPD (a) certifying that it is unable to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date, and (b) promising to submit a compliant EPD within 120 days from the contract award ((a) and (b) collectively constituting an

“EPD Pledge”). Failure by an offeror to submit either a compliant EPD or an EPD Pledge (as described in the immediately preceding sentence) for each IRA-Eligible Material listed in the IRA

Sustainability Factor Table by the proposal due date shall result in the offeror’s proposal being unacceptable. Offerors submitting an EPD Pledge in lieu of a compliant EPD for a given IRA-

Eligible Material will not be eligible for a Raw Score Supplement for that material, as described above.

Any awardee that submitted an EPD Pledge in lieu of a compliant EPD for a given IRA-Eligible

Material will still be bound by IRA Limit Commitments made in their IRA Sustainability Factor

Table. Note as well that the contract resulting from this solicitation shall have the following provision: “Within 120 days after contract award, the Contractor shall submit a compliant EPD for any IRA-Eligible Material for which the Contractor was unable to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date (if any). Such EPD must reflect GWP values that comply with the IRA Limit

Commitments incorporated into the contract. GSA shall not issue a Notice to Proceed with construction services to the Contractor until the Contractor has submitted a compliant EPD for each IRA-Eligible Material for which the Contractor was unable to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date.”

2. See attached

3. Question: After checking in with local suppliers and online resources tracking EPDs, it has been determined that there is an absence of a local EPD for asphalt. With this in mind, and given that the project is a design-build, can contractors consider not utilizing asphalt and substituting with either concrete or other pre-engineered materials, thereby, omitting the requirement for the submission of an asphalt EPD within the technical proposal?

Answer: The asphalt EPD remains a requirement of the RFP. Using an asphalt hot box or other means, it's possible to transport asphalt for several hours. There are asphalt manufacturers in surrounding areas that have an EPD. For example, Texas Materials – Central Texas Area, Laredo

4. III.H. Administrative Matters

(1) Project Meetings. The Contractor shall attend a preconstruction conference and shall participate in regularly scheduled Project meetings.

(2) Payments. FAR clause 52.232-5, Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts, is supplemented by GSAR 552.232-5 Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts located in Section IV.A. of this Agreement. In accordance with the relevant FAR and GSAR clauses, GSA requires the following data be included with each invoice:
