CAUTION PAGE

BEFORE SIGNING AND EMAILING YOUR BID, please take note of the following, as failure to perform any one of these actions may cause your bid to be rejected.

1. AMENDMENTS: Have you acknowledged receipt of ALL Amendments? If in doubt as to the number of amendments issued, please contact our office.

2. AMENDED BID PAGES: If any of the Amendments furnished amended bid pages, the amended bid pages must be used in submitting your bid.

5. FACSIMILE BIDS AND MODIFICATIONS AND WITHDRAWALS: Will not be considered.

6. BUY AMERICAN ACT: All bidders are cautioned that, prior Government conduct notwithstanding, the Contractor's selection of a domestic construction material which would require the subsequent selection of a foreign construction material for compatibility is not a justification for waiver of the Buy American Act. It is the Contractor's responsibility to verify, prior to submitting the materials for approval, which each system can be built to meet the contract specifications without the use of foreign construction materials.

7. SUBMISSION OF BIDS AND BID OPENING: Due to the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, the Government is taking precautions to ensure the safety and health of all Contractors and Government employees. Electronic bids are REQUIRED. Mailed and hand-delivered bids are NOT ALLOWED. The Contractor is required to ensure that the bid package is legible and complete. Bid bonds shall be copied to where the seals are legible.

To submit your bid electronically, email your bid to Contract Specialist Laura Hedrick (Laura.L.Hedrick@usace.army.mil). Keep in mind that due to email safeguards and the size of your bid package, emails may not be received immediately by the Government; therefore, make sure to email bid packages at least an hour before the bid opening time specified in the solicitation to ensure there was adequate time to receive bids. If bid packages are not received by the Government recipient by the date and time specified for the bid opening, it may be considered late. Refer to FAR 52.214-7 for how late bid packages are handled.

As another precaution, the conference room will be closed off to the public for viewing, but there will be a conference phone line available for all who are interested in attending the bid opening. The following information will be needed if you would like to call in for the bid opening:
