Document Title NGWSP Turnout Buildings

Preface This section is a synopsis of the items identified by Reclamation that have been problematic for some contractors. The items have been identified through previous real-world performance of construction with Reclamation. The following items are not all-encompassing of problems that may or may not be encountered and are only meant to identify general challenges contractors may run into when contracting with Reclamation for construction work. The purpose of this document is to allow contractors to propose construction more accurately at contract inception and reduce contract interpretation disagreements after contract award. It is highly recommended the Contractor read and become intimately familiar with both the solicitation and contract specifications and drawings prior to construction, as that can also head off potential disagreements as the work is being completed.

NOTE: The examples given within are for reference purposes only. Reclamation does not take responsibility for the application of calculations during offer creation. The Contractor is required to apply all calculations internally, and the items in this document are for awareness purposes only.

DISCLOSURE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT: The magnitude of this project is between $18,000,000.00 and $23,000,000.00.

Quality Control & Quality Assurance:

FAR Clause 52.246-12 - Inspection of Construction, requires the Contractor to establish a construction inspection system to ensure quality. Accordingly, per section 01 46 00 – Quality Procedures, a Quality Control Testing is required to evaluate results of tests when determining acceptability of work. Contractor may use the test results as part of the Quality Assurance (QA)/ Quality Control (QC), however the tests do not relieve the Contractor of maintaining adequate quality system in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.246-12 - Inspection of Construction.

The contractor will conduct its own Quality Assurance (QA) program, and Reclamation will only intermittently conduct its own Quality Assurance for specification compliance only, which may include inspection and tests performed by Government staff to ensure compliance with terms of the contract. Test performed by Reclamation will be used to ensure compliance with contract requirements and are not to be a replacement for specified Contractor quality contract and quality assurance testing. In the event of a discrepancy between Contractor’s and Government’s test results if performed, Reclamation’s quality assurance test results will be compared to the contractor’s results and a determination must be made whether the item conforms to the specifications or needs to be repaired/replaced at no additional cost to the government.

Quantity Surveys:

FAR Clause 52.236-16 Alt I Quantity Surveys will be included in this contract. Many contractor personnel have had issues providing adequate survey data IAW the referenced clause. This requires both preliminary and final surveys to be performed by the contractor. The contract requires (specs and clause) that a surveying plan be submitted (Surveying Plan) IAW specification 01 33 00. The surveying plan must be approved by Reclamation prior to the beginning of surveying work. The contract also requires submittal of all quantity survey notes and computations, as well as workday’s survey notes. This is important as the quantity for payment must be verified against the actual survey data. Quantity surveys and calculations, along with as-built drawings, are required to be submitted with each monthly construction progress payment for a contractor’s invoice to be considered as proper. Once construction is complete and all submittals are finalized, the balance of the lump sum price will be paid in the final invoice, quantity surveys are used to ensure the government does not unintentionally advance pay during progress payments.

The Government will have survey crews on site as part of its internal construction oversight and inspection program. However, this is not to be relied on by the Contractor as meeting the survey specifications. The Contractor is expected to provide fulltime survey support under the direction of a registered professional land surveyor licensed in the state where the work is being completed IAW the survey specifications (section 01 71 20 – Surveying). Historically, many contractors have missed this requirement, and it has led to payment disagreements.

Submittals:

The submittals required for Reclamation projects can be very detailed. Reclamation is a very data-centric organization of engineering-minded personnel. As such, the data needs to be correct and submittals shall be thought out, in a logical format, and be thorough. A ‘shotgun-spread’ approach will not work. Meaning, if a contractor submits superfluous information and/or with no format or shown understanding of the items, it will likely lead to rejection and a required resubmittal of the items. The same is true if a contractor only submits a portion of the items required under a requirement submittal number (RSN). The Contractor is responsible for providing quality control of contractor and subcontractor submittals to ensure they contain all, but no more than, the items required by a particular RSN.

Reclamation will retain many, if not all, of the records in library retention for many years. This is for awareness purposes only.

As-Built Drawings:

Section 01 78 30 of the specifications covers this in detail. Reclamation expects full compliance with keeping drawings on site as required in the specifications and final electronic as-builts in .dwg format. As noted in the specification, final as-builts are to include manufacturer/subcontractor drawings (mechanical etc.). See specifications for further information.

Environmental Compliance and Permitting:

Environmental Compliance is a very strictly enforced item. Reclamation has built a healthy and trusting relationship with the Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency (NNEPA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Army Corps of Engineers in complying with various environmental regulations, namely the Clean Water Act (CWA). Reclamation values these relationships and expects full compliance from the Contractor on all environmental items.

Many contractors unfamiliar with Reclamation run into initial issues because they: 1) do not have a dedicated environmental compliance member/team familiar with Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq. (1972)) permitting implementation experience, and specifically Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), 2) and rely on Reclamation to point out non-compliance reactively, rather than proactively implementing and managing this aspect of the job.

Some items of small nature may be required after contract award to comply with local Right of Way (ROW) changes/requirements.

These items will be paid on a case-by-case basis on actual costs plus any reasonable overhead or profit.

Example: encountered well water, directed safety and water preservation compliance, paid back based on quantity surveys of actual qty (not payline) for overage, directed work. Site runoff water creating a path to other natural sites off the approved right of way, etc.

Concern Example: Standing water pooled up near open manholes, Reclamation directed that the manholes be covered to prevent rainwater backfilling the pipe, per the specification requirements. Environmental personnel inspections identified multiple discrepancies with SWPPP compliance, directed fixes at no additional cost to the government. Be mindful of the requirements as they can add up if not initially planned for.

Cultural Resources Compliance and Archaeological Monitoring:

Given the density of archaeological sites and artifacts in this area of the country, some items of archaeological and cultural importance are expected to be encountered during construction, including previously unknown sites and artifacts called discoveries. The delays for any ROW restrictions needed to protect those resources shown in the bid documents shall be included in the initial bid. The contract may be modified for time and/or cost if cultural resources discoveries are encountered, and the Contractor does not have other areas where work can be shifted. Be sure to read the specifications sections. See specifications section 01 57 60 and 01 57 90 for further details. It can be expected that the construction monitors of an Archaeological or Monitoring Firm may contact the Reclamation personnel and have the CO direct a temporary stop work until the discovery is mitigated or otherwise addressed and resolved.

Project Specific Areas of Concern:

There are no specific areas of concern for this project.

Schedule B CLINs 1-4, 1-5, 2-4, 2-5, 3-4, 3-5, 4-4, 4-5, 5-4, 5-5, 6-4, 6-5, 7-4, 7-5:

These CLINs for As-Built Drawings and Final Drawings have pre-priced amounts listed. This is done to ensure a significant amount can be retained before final invoice to ensure As-Built Drawings and Final Drawings are received before final invoice is paid. The contractor may propose an alternate amount; however, it will be reviewed to ensure a meaningful amount has been proposed that allows Reclamation to guarantee the delivery of the As-Built Drawings and Final Drawings required by the contract.

Taxes:

In accordance with FAR 52.229-3- Federal, State, and Local Taxes, the contract price offered by contractors includes all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes with the exception of New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax and Navajo Nation Tax. The Contractor must rely on its internal tax experts to ensure full compliance with tax laws. Be aware that both New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax (NMGRT) and Navajo Nation (NN) tax may apply to the work.

Taxes will be reimbursed on the actual tax rate at the time of each invoice period. The tax filing documents/receipts must be submitted with the invoice to be reimbursed the taxes paid. Taxes can be withheld to quarterly or longer if it is easier to process based on the business model of the contractor, but the tax forms/receipts (i.e. GRT-PV for NM or Form 600/601/604 for NN taxes – proof of payment) from either the State of New Mexico (NM) or the Navajo Nation (NN) must be submitted to be reimbursed for taxes.

Taxes must be presented/estimated in the proposal to allow for appropriate budgeting of dollars for the resultant contract. The tax rate is subject to change during multiple years of performance, which historically happens in the State of NM (e.g. awarded at 6.5% NMGRT, June of the same year rate rises to 6.875% NMGRT, the following January the tax rate drops back to 6.5% NMGRT, etc.). This is a recent change in strategy for taxes, but the idea is Reclamation will reimburse actual NMGRT and NN taxes paid during each invoice/tax period to handle fluctuations in taxes during performance with receipts/proof of payment provided with each invoice.

Site Visit:

An organized site visit is scheduled for – Wednesday August 26, 2026 @ 8 AM MT

Participant will meet at – Four Corners Construction Office 1235 La Plata Highway Farmington, New Mexico 87401

Subcontractors:

Subcontractors cannot submit partial proposals straight to the Government. Subcontractors shall propose directly to prime contractors.

Items will not be pre-qualified during the synopsis or solicitation period. It is the prime contractor’s responsibility to confirm items meet the specifications of this requirement.

SECTION H - Special Contract Requirements

H.1 DOI-AAAP-0050 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at: https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6)The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

(f) The Contractor agrees to include the provisions of the clause including this paragraph (f) in each subcontract awarded under this contract.

(g) In the event of noncompliance with this clause, the Contractor’s right to proceed may be terminated in whole or in part by the Contracting Officer and the work completed in a manner determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the best interests of the Government.

(end of clause)
