PROJECT OVERVIEW

The project is in the Texas Chenier Plain Wildlife Refuge Complex, which includes a string of coastal refuges that harbor much of the coastal migratory bird habitat along the upper Texas coast.

Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge and McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge are managed as part of the Complex. In 2017, the Complex suffered damages as a result of Hurricane Harvey requiring repairs to roadways, parking areas, and associated transportation infrastructure.

The proposed improvements will be contained within the Texas Chenier Plain Wildlife Refuge Complex boundaries. The action area consists of approximately 16.4 miles of existing roadways and the improvements are listed below by project scheduling.

II. POST AWARD INFORMATION

CFLHD will no longer be providing paper copies of the conformed contract to the Awarded

Prime Contractor.

Subcontracting - FAR Clause 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns states that Prime

Contractors afford small business concerns, veteran-owned small business concerns, service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, HUBZone small business concerns, small disadvantaged business concerns, and women-owned small business concerns the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in performing contracts let by any Federal agency.

FAR Clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, Alternate I, requires that the large business concern who is the successful low bidder on a Federal project with an anticipated award amount exceeding $1.5 million, is required to submit a subcontracting plan prior to contract award.

The subcontracting plan expresses goals in terms of percentages of total planned subcontracting dollars for the use of small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns as subcontractors. If the apparent successful low bidder fails to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan acceptable to the CO within 7 days of request of the CO, that bidder may be ineligible for award of the contract.

A-iv

Prime Contractors, who are large businesses, are encouraged to post sources sought notices at the

Small Business Administration’s Subcontracting Network (SUB-NET) https://subnet.sba.gov/client/dsp_Landing.cfm so that small businesses can identify opportunities in their areas of expertise. The use of SUB-Net fulfills the requirements set forth in Federal Acquisition

Regulation (FAR) 5.206, Notice of Subcontracting Opportunities, for contractors and subcontractors to post notices and thereby increase competition for subcontracts.

A list of currently known business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and/or women-owned small business concerns that have indicated an interest in participating in highway construction is available at https://www.sam.gov.

See Appendix B for Sample Small Business Subcontracting Plan.

Bid Schedule Instructions

BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: This Bid Proposal is comprised of one schedule and one option. Before preparing the bid, carefully read the Solicitation Provisions and the following:

• Insert a numeric unit bid price for each pay item for which a quantity appears in the bid schedule. Unit bid prices should be quoted no more precisely than the nearest cent (2 decimal places). Unit bid prices quoted more precisely will be rounded up to the nearest cent by the Government

• Multiply the unit price by the quantity for each pay item and show the amount bid.

• Total all amounts bid for each pay item and show the Construction Cost Total on the space provided on the last page of each schedule or option.

• Also show the Construction Cost Total for each schedule/option as well as the combined Total of each Schedule and the Option in the spaces provided on the Bid Summary page.

NOTE: If the amount bid for a pay item is inconsistent with the product of the unit price provided by the bidder and the quantity provided by the Government, the unit price will govern and the

Government will determine a corrected amount bid for the pay item by multiplying the unit price by the quantity.

Basis for Award

To be eligible for award of contract, the offeror shall submit prices for each item in Bid

Schedule A and Option X. Accordingly, contract award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder conforming to the solicitation, provided funds are available.

Per FAR provision 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JULY 1990), the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for Schedule A. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). If the determination is made to exercise any of the Options, the Contracting

Officer will provide the contractor with written notice no later than 45 days after contract award, per FAR clause 52.217-7, Option for Increased Quantity- Separately Priced Line Item

(MAR 1989).

To be eligible for award of contract, the offeror shall submit prices for each item necessary to complete all contract work in Schedule A and Option X

Accordingly, award of contract, if made, will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, if funds are available.

Partnering

A Partnership recognizes the Government and the Contractor are both responsible and can affect the successful completion of this project. Partnering is a vehicle to ensure the partnership has structure and quality. It recognizes the strengths of each party and uses those strengths to identify and achieve shared goals. One of the primary objectives of Partnering is to facilitate the resolution of disputes in a timely, professional, and non-adversarial manner with the outcome focused on achieving those shared goals.

CFLHD supports the concepts and tenets of Partnering and as such is encouraging the Contractors and it’s subcontractors to establish a Partnering relationship on this project.

A formal Partnering meeting can help facilitate this relationship by helping do document the parties’ common purpose and goals, and ensuring alignment. The goals are mutually agreed upon and address effective and efficient performance within the scope of the contract.

Participation in a formal Partnering meeting is voluntary. Costs of implementing and maintaining the partnership would be agreed to by both parties as described in Subsection 103.05 Partnering of the

FP-14. Costs of partnering would be in addition to the contract award amount.

Please indicate your desire to participate in a formal partnering meeting on this project.

(___) We would like to participate in a formal partnering meeting.

(___) We do not want to participate in a formal partnering meeting.

OBLIGATION:

We, the Principal and Surety(ies) are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) in the above penal sum. For payment of the penal sum, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally. However, where the Sureties are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" as well as "severally" only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us. For all other purposes, each Surety binds itself, jointly and severally with the Principal, for the payment of the sum shown opposite the name of the Surety. If no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability is the full amount of the penal sum.

CONDITIONS:

The Principal has submitted the bid identified above.

THEREFORE:

The above obligation is void if the Principal - (a) upon acceptance by the Government of the bid identified above, within the period specified therein for acceptance (sixty (60) days if no period is specified), executes the further contractual documents and gives the bond(s) required by the terms of the bid as accepted within the time specified (ten (10) days if no period is specified) after receipt of the forms by the principal; or (b) in the event of failure to execute such further contractual documents and give such bonds, pays the

Government for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of the bid.

Each Surety executing this instrument agrees that its obligation is not impaired by any extension(s) of the time for acceptance of the bid that the Principal may grant to the Government.

Notice to the surety(ies) of extension(s) is waived. However, waiver of the notice applies only to extensions aggregating not more than sixty (60) calendar days in addition to the period originally allowed for acceptance of the bid.

WITNESS:

The Principal and Surety(ies) executed this bid bond and affixed their seals on the above date.

1. This form is authorized for use when a bid guaranty is required. Any deviation from this form will require the written approval of the Administrator of

General Services.

2. Insert the full legal name and business address of the Principal in the space designated "Principal" on the face of the form. An authorized person shall sign the bond. Any person signing in a representative capacity (e.g., an attorney-in-fact) must furnish evidence of authority if that representative is not a member of the firm, partnership, or joint venture, or an officer of the corporation involved.

3. The bond may express penal sum as a percentage of the bid price. In these cases, the bond may state a maximum dollar limitation (e.g., 20% of the bid price but the amount not to exceed dollars).

4. (a) Corporations executing the bond as sureties must appear on the Department of the Treasury's list of approved sureties and must act within the limitations listed therein. The value put into the LIABILITY LIMIT block is the penal sum (i.e., the face value) of the bond, unless a co-surety arrangement is proposed.

(b) When multiple corporate sureties are involved, their names and addresses shall appear in the spaces (Surety A, Surety B, etc.) headed

"CORPORATE SURETY(IES)." In the space designated "SURETY(IES)" on the face of the form, insert only the letter identifier corresponding to each of the sureties. Moreover, when co-surety arrangements exist, the parties may allocate their respective limitations of liability under the bond, provided that the sum total of their liability equals 100% of the bond penal sum.
