Section 00100 - Bidding Schedule/Instructions to Bidders

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1. The proposal acceptance period is specified in Block 13D of the Standard Form 1442 of the solicitation. By signing the SF 1442, the contractor agrees that the proposal price is valid for at least the number of days listed in Block 13D.

A. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process will be used. Offerors’ technical proposal will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If lowest priced proposal was deemed technically acceptable, no other proposal will be evaluated. In addition, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all CLINs to the total price for the basic requirement. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined non-responsive and thereby excluded from further consideration.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale along with providing any assumptions in their proposals.

2. These instructions prescribe the format of proposals and the submission requirements. They are designed to ensure that the contractor understands the proposal requirements, and what will be needed for the

Government to accurately evaluate the proposal data to determine technical sufficiency and price fair and reasonableness; both are required prior to the Government making an award. These instructions permit the contractor to include any pertinent data that they deem relevant to the Government’s understanding of both the proposed technical approach, and cost information that may be above and beyond what is explicitly requested in these instructions.

3. The contractor shall either mail, hand carry, or e-mail their proposal to the below address no later than the date specified in Block 13A of the 1442. Email is the preferred method. A receipt confirmation is recommended.

4. Hard copy proposals shall be accompanied by either a DVD with electronic versions of the proposal document and all associated attachments, or, an e-mail with the proposal document and all associated attachments. Please be advised that the Schriever AFB firewalls or servers may delay or prevent the electronic transfer of large data files (10MB) via e-mail. Because of this, the contractor is encouraged to separate their e-mails labeling them as follows: (1 of.., 2 of..., 3 of…, etc.).

5. Discrepancies: If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions or within the solicitation documents contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify this office in writing with supporting rationale.

6. Mandatory Submission: The offeror shall submit copies of the SF 1442, front and back, the appropriate signatures, and acknowledgements of all amendments as required. The 1442 shall have a unit price, and total mailto:john.mittelstedt@us.af.mil mailto:rachael.avery.2@us.af.mil price annotated for each CLIN; and Block 30A, B, and C shall be signed by an authorized representative of the offeror’s company.

7. Section 00100: The contractor shall submit a technical proposal with the items identified in Section A below and a cost proposal with the items identified in Section B below in conjuction with the SF 1442.

A. Technical: In addition to the completed SF 1442, the contractor shall submit a technical proposal that adequately annotates the contractor’s technical approach and that reflects adequate understanding of the scope of work. Technical information submitted shall include, but is not limited to the following areas:

i. Proposed Labor Mix, including Hours and Quantity for each labor mix category.

ii. Proposed Schedule. The schedule shall be commensurate with the Period of Performance defined in the Statement of Work and shall include project milestones such as design phases, submittals, mobilization, construction progress, testing, and closeout activities.

iii. Management Approach. This shall include personnel structure, project manager’s qualifications and past projects, site superintendent’s qualifications and past projects, and relevant certifications. Subcontractor information and qualifications should also be included if known at time of submission. This information can be submitted in the contractor’s preferred format.

iv. Proposed Material Cost and Quantity. This shall include a list of materials corresponding to the requirements defined in the Statement of Work.

B. Price: The price proposal can be submitted in the offeror’s own format; however, this portion of the proposal shall contain enough information for the Contracting Officer to evaluate the data so as to determine a fair and reasonable price. This data shall reflect price breakouts of equipment, materials, and labor; and/or, the offeror’s estimating processes to include:

i. The judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or other methods used in the estimate, including those used in projecting from known data; and

ii. The nature and amount of any contingencies included in the proposed price.

C. Proposal Evaluation:

i. The offeror’s proposal will be evaluated for both technical acceptability and understanding, and for price fair and reasonable determination. Both shall be determined acceptable by the

Contracting Officer prior to any award made under this solicitation. Technical Evaluation factors other than cost or price are approximately equal to cost or price.

ii. Technical Evaluation: The Government will review the contractor’s proposal in response to the requirements set forth within the instructions, section “00100” of this solicitation, the statement of work, and the attached specifications. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings.

The Government reserves the right to seek clarifications with the contractor regarding areas of their proposal that either conflict with, or display a perceived misunderstanding of the scope of work. The contractor’s proposed schedule will also be evaluated by the

Government for acceptability.

i. Price Evaluation: The Government plans to award a contract resulting from this solicitation

IAW FAR 15.101-2 to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforming to the solicitation represents the lowest price technically acceptable. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and completeness of the proposed price. In the event that the Government cannot determine a reasonable price, the Contracting Officer may request additional data from the contractor to the extent necessary to determine a fair and reasonable price IAW

FAR 15.402(a)(3). If additional data is still not sufficient, the Contracting Officer may request negotiations with the contractor.

D. Communications conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revisions.

The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub. L. 113-235) and its successor provisions in subsequent appropriations acts (and as extended in continuing resolutions), Government agencies are not permitted to use funds appropriated (or otherwise made available) for contracts with an entity that requires employees or subcontractors of such entity seeking to report waste, fraud, or abuse to sign internal confidentiality agreements or statements prohibiting or otherwise restricting such employees or subcontractors from lawfully reporting such waste, fraud, or abuse to a designated investigative or law enforcement representative of a Federal department or agency authorized to receive such information.

(c) The prohibition in paragraph (b) of this provision does not contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form

(d) Representation. By submission of its offer, the Offeror represents that it will not require its employees or subcontractors to sign or comply with internal confidentiality agreements or statements prohibiting or otherwise restricting such employees or subcontractors from lawfully reporting waste, fraud, or abuse related to the performance of a Government contract to a designated investigative or law enforcement representative of a Federal department or agency authorized to receive such information (e.g., agency Office of the Inspector General).

(End of provision)

52.203-19 PROHIBITION ON REQUIRING CERTAIN INTERNAL CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS OR

STATEMENTS (JAN 2017)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Internal confidentiality agreement or statement means a confidentiality agreement or any other written statement that the contractor requires any of its employees or subcontractors to sign regarding nondisclosure of contractor information, except that it does not include confidentiality agreements arising out of civil litigation or confidentiality agreements that contractor employees or subcontractors sign at the behest of a Federal agency.

(c) The Contractor shall notify current employees and subcontractors that prohibitions and restrictions of any preexisting internal confidentiality agreements or statements covered by this clause, to the extent that such prohibitions and restrictions are inconsistent with the prohibitions of this clause, are no longer in effect.

(d) The prohibition in paragraph (b) of this clause does not contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or

State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision.;

and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent

Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(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. Sec. 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. Sec. 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 the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. 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. Sec. 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.

FELONY CONVICTION UNDER ANY FEDERAL LAW (FEB 2016)

Act, 2015 (Pub. L. 113-235), and similar provisions, if contained in subsequent appropriations acts, the Government will not enter into a contract with any corporation that--

(1) Has any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting the tax liability, where the awarding agency is aware of the unpaid tax liability, unless an agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and made a determination that suspension or debarment is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government; or

(2) Was convicted of a felony criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24 months, where the awarding agency is aware of the conviction, unless an agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and made a determination that this action is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.

(b) The Offeror represents that--

(1) It is [ ] is not [ ] a corporation that has any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting the tax liability; and

Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
