ESTIMATED

PRICE: The price range of the project work is between $700,000 and $2,000,000.

Schedule Instructions

QUOTERS, PLEASE NOTE: This RFQ is comprised of one (1) schedule. 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.

When the words “Lump Sum” appear as a unit bid price, insert an amount for each lump sum pay item.

• 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 quoted 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 necessary to complete all contract work in Schedule A.

The provision at RFO 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services is not applicable to this solicitation. In lieu of this provision, quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203(c)(2).

The Government intends to make a single award to the responsible offeror whose quotation is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, considering price and non-price factors identified in this solicitation. Consistent with RFO Part 12 procedures, the Government will use a comparative evaluation to determine which quotation is most advantageous. Under this method, the Government compares quotations directly to one another, assessing the relative strengths, weaknesses, and benefits of each, rather than evaluating each quotation against a fixed set of standards or using a formal rating system.

The Government may select a quotation that is not the lowest priced if its non-price factors provide superior value or reduced performance risk. Conversely, the Government may select a lower-priced quotation if its non-price factors contribute enough value that it is determined to be equal or close in merit to higher-priced alternatives.

A-5

EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government will perform a comparative assessment based on the following three factors:

1. PRICE

The Government will evaluate the total price for all items in the Bid Schedule.

Prices will be assessed for reasonableness per RFO 12.204.

The Government may consider price differences in relation to the comparative advantages offered by non-price factors. Price is more important than the other factors on an individual basis.

2. TECHNICAL APPROACH

The technical approach should be in as much detail as the offeror considers necessary to fully explain the proposed technical approach or method. Provide an explanation of how the work will be done, including:

Capability and Subcontracting: Provide a detailed explanation of your capability to execute the work. This should include a description of the specific tasks you intend to subcontract. If subcontractors are part of your proposed team, describe their roles in the project.

Key Personnel: Submit a list of personnel with job titles and years of experience. Show the experience that the personnel have with similar projects.

Performance Schedule: The Contractor is required to submit a schedule that outlines the planned sequencing of major work activities. The schedule should show durations for the major work activities and be expressed in calendar days.

3. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Provide three examples of projects similar in size, scope, and complexity completed within the last five years. To be considered "similar", a project must have been greater than $700,000.

When evaluating similarity and relative merit, the Government will favorably consider projects that included boulder removal/dispersal, guardrail procurement/installation, and traffic control/ sequencing. Include the following:

Project title and location Brief description of work performed.

Dollar value and year completed.

Customer name and contact information

The Government is not required to assign weights, scores, formal ratings, or adjectival grades to any factor, consistent with comparative evaluation guidance

A-6

EVALUATION METHOD

The Government will utilize a multi-step process to ensure a fair and efficient selection:

1. Administrative Review: Determine if quotations are complete and compliant with RFQ requirements.

2. Technical Acceptability: Identify quotes that meet the minimum requirements of the Solicitation.

3. Comparative Analysis: Conduct a side-by-side comparison of all acceptable quotations. The Government will assess the relative benefits and tradeoffs of each.

4. Selection Rationale: Document key observations supporting the selection. Consistent with RFO 12.203, no formal scoring, adjectival ratings, or competitive range determinations will be used.

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-24. 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.

Bidder/Offeror please note: Before preparing the bid, carefully read the Solicitation Provisions. Insert a unit bid price, in figures, 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. Should any mathematical check made by the Government show a mistake in the amount bid, the corrected unit price extension shall govern. When the word "LPSM" (Lump Sum) appears as a unit bid price, insert an amount for each lump sum pay item. When a sum based on a fixed rate appears for any pay item in the amount bid column, include the Government inserted amount bid for the item in the total bid amount. Total all of the amounts bid for each pay item and show the total bid amount.

Section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), requires Federal, State, and local procuring agencies using appropriated Federal funds to purchase items composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials practical. Use of recovered materials is strongly encouraged on Federal Lands Highway Projects. Highway construction items covered by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Comprehensive Guidelines for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials include fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, traffic barricades, traffic cones, hydraulic mulch and compost for mulch.

Use of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and construction materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag on Federal Lands Highway Projects:

It is the policy of the United States Government that fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag shall have maximum practicable opportunity for incorporation into its construction projects.

The Contractor agrees to investigate the use of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag to the fullest extent consistent with the efficient performance of this contract. Both the contractor and the subcontractors are urged to seek out suppliers of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag, cement and concrete containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and to solicit bids for these materials.

Names of firms that supply fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag are available from the American Coal Ash Association and the National Slag Association.

Prescribed by GSA - FAR (48 CFR) 53.228(a)

For (Construction, Supplies Or Services)

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.

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.

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.

(c) When individual sureties are involved, a completed Affidavit of Individual Surety (Standard Form 28) for each individual surety, shall accompany the bond. The Government may require the surety to furnish additional substantiating information concerning its financial capability.
