A-ii

Notice of SAM Registration – you must register in the System for Award Management (SAM – replaced CCR) prior to award of a contract resulting from this solicitation. Failure to register prior to contract award may require award to the next successful registered offeror. See FAR Subpart 4.1103(c). Register online at www.sam.gov.

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.

A-iii

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

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

BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: This Bid Proposal is comprised of one 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

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.

USE OF RECOVERED MATERIALS ON FEDERAL LANDS HIGHWAY PROJECTS

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.
