D.1 Bidding Process:

The bid shall consist of an amount per unit of issue specified in U.S. currency. Be advised certain risk factors could affect a bidder’s assessment of this contract and the calculations supporting the resulting bid. Under no circumstances is the Agency or the Government responsible for any assumptions, planning factors, or decisions related to determining the bid.

The Government expects all the terms and conditions of the contract to be met at the bid price submitted. At no time will the Government pay the Purchaser to take material offered. There shall be no reimbursement to the Purchaser under this contract except for the limited circumstances related to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for return of property directed by the Government. The Government is not responsible for any indirect, inconsequential, or completeness (through assumption of sales value, act or omission of factors) of expenses related to performance under this contract. The measure of the Government’s liability, in any case where liability of the Government to the Purchaser has been established, shall not exceed refund of such portion of the purchase price as the Government may have received.

D.2 How to Bid:

Bidders shall use the following documents provided with this IFB to submit a bid: the SF114 and SF114A. Bidder shall enter bid as a price per unit of issue not to exceed five decimal places (example 0.01005). Multiply your bid price by the quantity indicated in the Table 1 - “Total QTY” column advertised to calculate your extended bid amount.

The bidder awarded this contract will be awarded all Contract Line Items Numbers (CLINs) or none of the Items.

Bidders must place a bid on each individual Item to be considered for award. Purchaser will be expected to pay the Unit Bid Price for each Item upon removal based on weight.

The highest priced cumulative bid will be determined by each bidder’s total contract price identified in the “total amount” on the SF114. “Total Amount” block on the SF 114 will be equal to the cumulative total from all CLINs from column “Total Price Bid” on the SF 114A.

The bidder with the highest “TOTAL AMOUNT” bid will be considered the apparent high bidder and will be vetted prior to award in accordance with provisions in Section D below. It is expected that the awarded company will remove all of the items in this IFB or none of the items in this IFB. The awarded company must possess all appropriate license for all items or have sub-contractors with appropriate licenses to remove all Items. Award will not be made to a bidder who fails to demonstrate the capability to remove the items listed in the IFB.

For illustrative purposes, if the four items advertised for sale in the IFB are in pounds, CLIN 1- 500,000 lbs., CLIN 2- 1,000,000 lbs., CLIN 3- 2,500,000 lbs., and CLIN 4- 150,000. Bidder A bids- CLIN 1 $0.10, CLIN 2 $0.02, CLIN 3- $0.02, CLIN 4 $0.20. “Total Priced Bid” on Example 1 shows Bidder A’s total bid price per CLIN.

Example 2 shows Bidder A’s “Total Amount” equals $150,000 for all CLINs awarded. Do not email bids or call-in bids directly to the SCO. Bids mailed directly to the SCO will be considered non-responsive.

D.6 Bid Evaluation:

A responsible bidder is one that has the necessary organization, experience, financial resources, accounting process, operational controls, technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them, to perform the requirements of the sales contract, has no disqualifying factors (i.e., is not suspended, debarred or an ineligible transferee) and is able to pass the Agency’s vetting process. A responsive bidder is one that has complied with all instructions for properly submitting a bid. Submitting the highest bid price does not convey any special right nor does it imply that the Purchaser shall be the primary removal company or exclusively allowed to remove throughout the term of this contract. The Government reserves the right to reject any bids that are not in the best interest of the Government.

The general standards in FAR Part 9 on contractor responsibility determinations that are applicable to procurement contracts are not directly applicable to sales contracts awarded under 40 U.S. Code § 545 but may be considered by the Sales Contracting Officer in evaluating bidder responsibility.

The Government intends that a single award will be made to a responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid inclusive of all lines unless a determination is made to reject the bid under 41 CFR § 102-38.205 or the terms of the contract including Sales by Reference Part 2, Art. 3.

The SOI must have parts 1-6 completed and signed. The Pre-Award survey may be conducted at the AHB’s facility.

The Apparent High Bidder shall cooperate in the Pre-Award process by assisting in arrangements and/or by providing requested information in a timely manner.

To facilitate the Pre-Award Survey, you have ten business days to:

• Complete and return SOI to the SCO.

• Complete and return FAR Provision 52.204-24.

D.8.1 Environmental Responsibility Determination (ERD):

The Environmental Support Branch of Disposition Services will conduct an ERD on sale destinations to verify if the DoD purchased property will be managed in accordance with the Invitation for Bid, Statement of Intent, Federal, state, and local regulations. List all downstream facilities receiving Government property to be processed in the Statement of Intent. Do not list downstream recipients of processed property. The purchaser is advised that it must manage the property in accordance with Singapore law and regulation and may be required to demonstrate that any recycling facility utilized to process this material possesses any required permits. If item 2 will be exported out of the country, explain how you will ensure compliance with the Basel Convention by addressing your transit route, anticipated wait to receive export approval, and where/how the property will be managed while waiting for export approval.

ERDs typically take 10 business days to complete. Any findings annotated by the Government during an ERD must be corrected prior to a proposed destination/facility’s use. Purchaser is not authorized to process Government material at a site other than those listed on the SOI.

D.9 Necessary Licenses, Permits and Certifications Shall be Reviewed:

Prior to the award of a contract, the Agency shall determine whether the potential Purchaser has the necessary permits/licenses, experience, organization, and technical qualifications (either through its own facilities or facilities of a sub-contractor) to meet the terms and conditions and can comply with the applicable Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations.

If the Agency determines the AHB is not responsible, the next highest bidder will begin the same pre-award survey process. This same process of vetting the next highest bidder will continue until a responsible bidder is identified.

D.10 Contract Award:

The SCO shall determine if each bid is responsive and shall make an affirmative determination that the bidder is responsible prior to award of the contract. The contract shall be awarded to the highest responsive bid, submitted by a responsible bidder. In the event of termination of the original Purchaser, the SCO may award the contract to the next highest responsive, bid, submitted by a responsible bidder if bids have not expired, and such award is otherwise determined to be in the Government's best interest.

The Government intends that a single award will be made to a responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid per contract line item unless a determination is made to reject the bid under Title 40, U.S.C., Chapter 7, and SBR Part Article 3, the Agency reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids. The Agency may reject any or all bids when such action is advantageous to the Government, or when it is in the public interest to do so.

When you have successfully completed the pre-award assessment as the apparent high bidder, you will receive a

Statement indicating the amount of payment due. Submit payment within ten (10) business days of the Statement.

When payment is posted and confirmed by the SCO; and all other vetting has been completed, a Start of Work meeting will be scheduled.

The purpose of the meeting is to ensure the Purchaser fully understands the terms and conditions of this contract. The Agency shall determine the method, date, time and location of the post award conference. The Purchaser is responsible for any cost incurred by their organization and staff. The Government shall not provide any compensation for costs incurred to attend meetings. At the conclusion of this meeting, the official signed Notice of Award will be sent to the Purchaser and SPOC, and this will constitute the official award of the contract to the AHB.
