Representations and Certifications – This solicitation is issued under NAICS 237310 – Highway, Street & Bridge Construction with a small business size standard of $36.5 million. If your average annual gross receipts for the past 3 years are above $36.5 million, you are a large business for this solicitation. If they are below $36.5 million you are a small business. Please complete the certification listed in paragraph (b) of FAR Provision 52.204-8 Annual Representation and Certifications.

Vets100 Reporting: - The Contractor must complete the report if required. See reporting requirements at: www.dol.gov/vets/programs/fcp/main.htm.

• My firm had a qualifying Federal Contract in 2015 and has complied with the reporting requirements.

• My firm did not have a qualifying Federal Contract in 2015 and is therefore exempt from the reporting requirements

This Solicitation Contains a Price Evaluation Factor - The Government will apply a factor of 10% to an apparent low bid submitted by a large business when we also receive a bid from a certified HUBZone small business concern. The 10% factor does not apply to apparent low bids submitted by small businesses. See FAR Clause 52.219-4 Notice of price evaluation preference for HUBZone small business concerns.

In the event this full and open competition results in a contract award to a qualified HUBZone SBC after a price evaluation preference, FAR Clause 52.236-1, Performance of Work by the Contractor does not apply.

§126.700 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Title 13, Part 126, Subpart G), stated below, will replace the performance of work requirements stated in the above mentioned FAR clause.

A qualified HUBZone SBC receiving a contract under this solicitation for general construction must spend at least 50% of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel on its own employees or employees of other qualified HUBZone SBCs. This requirement may be met by expending at least 50% of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel on its employees or it may subcontract at least 35% of the cost of the contract performance incurred for personnel to one or more qualified HUBZone SBCs. A qualified HUBZone SBC prime contractor may not, however, subcontract more than 50% of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel to non-qualified HUBZone SBCs.

II. Post Award Information.

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 http://osdbuweb.dot.gov/ http://www.fbo.gov/

A-iv 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 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. To view and download a sample plan for subcontracting requirements, visit http://www.cflhd.gov/contracting/construction/ReferenceLinks.cfm. If the apparent successful low bidder fails to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan acceptable to the CO within 7 days of bid opening, that bidder may be ineligible for award of the contract.

Prime Contractors, who are large businesses, are encouraged to post sources sought notices at the Small Business Administration’s Subcontracting Network (SUB-NET) http://web.sba.gov/subnet/ 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 http://www.ccr.gov

Insurance requirements - See Subsection 107.05 of the FP-14.

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:

Schedule A – Bridge Replacement, Entrance Road, and Grassland Trail Option X – Des Lacs Bridge Replacement

• 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.

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.

Evaluation Factors 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 and Option X. Accordingly, award of contract, will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, if 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 60 days after contract award, per FAR clause 52.217-7, Option for Increased Quantity- Separately Priced Line Item (MAR 1989).

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.
