(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples.

(i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if http://www.fsrs.gov/ http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform

In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has [[_] has not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) “Principal,” for the purposes of this certification, means an officer; director; owner; partner; or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror’s responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

FAR 52.216-1 Type of Contract (APR 1984)

The Government contemplates award of a Firm Fixed-Price contract resulting from this solicitation.

Response: At a minimum, a response submitted for this RFP must contain a Price Proposal (Price and related factors) and a Technical Proposal (Technical Capability and Past Performance). Each of the proposals shall be separate and complete so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently from evaluation of the other. The Technical Proposal must not contain reference to prices; however, resource information (such as data concerning labor hours and categories, materials, subcontracts, etc.) should be contained in the technical proposal so that the Contractor's understanding of the statement of work may be evaluated.

Offerors shall submit their proposal(s) in the following format and the quantities specified:

1. __1___ copies, sealed in an envelope, of the Business Proposal (Pricing), clearly labeled.

2. __1___ copies, sealed in separate envelope, of the Technical Proposal, clearly labeled.

Prices: Provide your best price proposal with your initial proposal. While the Contracting Officer may request other information to determine price reasonableness, it is the intent of the Government to award this solicitation without discussions. Proposals that do not offer the best price or cost with the initial submission may be removed from the competitive range which will eliminate that offeror’s proposal from further consideration. During proposal evaluation, the Contracting Officer may determine that additional information is needed to verify an offeror’s financial capability, working capital and other resources available to perform the contract without assistance from any outside source, which may result in the Contracting Officer requesting additional information from that offeror. Any such request shall be considered clarifications and not discussions for the purpose of evaluating offers.

Technical Proposal: The Technical Proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror will be able to successfully meet the requirements of the Government in providing the NEPA (Environment Assessment). Therefore, the technical proposal must present sufficient information to reflect a thorough understanding of the requirements and a detailed description of the techniques, procedures, and program for achieving the objectives of the specifications and statement of work. Proposals that merely paraphrase the requirements of the Government’s specification/statement of work, or use phrases such as “will comply” or http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vffara.htm http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vfagara.htm
