• Government Witnessing: Regardless of the scale utilized, the entire weighing process must be directly witnessed by the designated Government Representative releasing the property for Demilitarization (DEMIL).
This requires the Government Representative to witness both the empty (tare) weight of the conveyance and the fully loaded (gross) weight.
• Scale Tickets: The Purchaser must provide all original, certified scale tickets (showing both tare and gross weights) to the Government Representative immediately upon completion of the weighing process for each load.

B.16 Spill Responsibility:
The Purchaser is solely responsible for clean-up and disposal of all spills or leaks according to 40 CFR Part 112 during the loading and or Demilitarization/Mutilation operations of this contract that occur because of, or are contributed to, by the actions of its agents, employees, or Subcontractors, at no cost to the Government. Spill response will be performed by the Purchaser according to local or host installation spill response procedures. The Purchaser shall have all necessary spill response kits, equipment and supplies pre-positioned in-case of spills that may occur during these operations.
B.17 U.S. Navy ARD RIP Location Due to the sensitive environmental nature of the Receipt-in-Place (RIP) All operations conducted at the RIP location are subject to the real-property agreements, safety regulations, and security protocols established by the U.S. Navy Acoustic Research Detachment (ARD). Failure to comply with any step will result in immediate work stoppage.
• Removal Requirement:
The property must be processed sequentially. Absolutely NO work may occur on a subsequent submarine until the previous submarine has been completely downsized, loaded, and has departed the site. The only exception to this is the lead and asbestos abatement if required. These operations can take place on multiple items.
• Authorized Downsizing & Restrictions:
The Purchaser is authorized to downsize property on-site ONLY to the extent necessary to load it into a transport conveyance. The use of a mobile shear is authorized. Torching, thermal cutting, and all other forms of 'hot work' are strictly prohibited.
• Mandatory Lead Containment:
Prior to shearing operations, the Purchaser must deploy impermeable ground coverings (e.g., heavy-duty tarps) to capture all lead-bearing dust, paint chips, and metallic fragments. Immediate cleanup and containerization of debris is required after each sub is processed.
• Mandatory Presence & Work Stoppage:
NO work (shearing, rigging, loading) may occur unless both the Purchaser’s Certifier and the Government Verifier are physically present. When the Government Verifier leaves the site to escort a load, all contractor work at the RIP location must immediately cease until the Verifier returns.
• In-Transit Security:
To maintain security for this DEMIL property, all transport conveyances must be inventoried and secured before transport. Once property arrives at purchaser facility a joint inventory will take place with the purchaser Certifier and DLA verifier to ensure all property shipped has arrived. Tarped or covered lockable containers are preferred.
• Site Restoration:
Upon completion of removal for each item, and before the final contract closeout, the Purchaser must return the work area to its original condition. This includes the removal of all environmental containments and repairing any ground damage (e.g., grading/leveling ruts caused by heavy equipment).

D BID EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD
D.1 Bidding Process:
This is a price-per-pound contract where the bid price is expressed in U.S. currency specified by the bidder, per pound (LBS). The final billing, payment, and financial reconciliation will be based on the actual certified scale weight of the demilitarized scrap residue determined after on-site mechanical downsizing and DEMIL verification have been completed, in accordance with Section A.6.1. Bidders are expected to perform their own due diligence.
D.2 Identification of Sales Purchaser:
Bidders should take care to ensure that their bid submission indicates whether they are submitting the bid as an authorized representative of a legal entity such as a corporation or limited liability company, or in their individual capacity or as owner of a sole proprietorship. The legal entity designated as the bidder on the SF 114 is the entity to whom the contract will be awarded upon receiving an affirmative responsibility assessment. Individuals or companies may use subsidiaries, affiliates or partners in a joint venture as subcontractors with SCO approval as per the contract terms (however such entities may also require an ERD) but may not substitute such entities as a party to the Agency’s sales contract. AHBs should ensure the SOI and other pre-award documentation identify any subcontractors that will be performing removals or processing materials on its behalf so that the appropriate reviews may be conducted.
D.3 How to Bid:
Bidders shall use the following documents provided with this IFB to submit a bid: the SF114 and SF114A. Bidder shall enter bid as a price per unit of issue not to exceed five (5) decimal places (example 0.01005). Minimum bid is $0.00001 per unit of issue. Multiply your bid price by the quantity indicated in the “Bid QTY” column advertised to calculate your extended bid amount.
The bidder awarded this contract will be awarded all Contract Line Items Numbers (CLINs) or none of the Items.
Bidders must place a bid on each individual Item to be considered for award. Purchaser will be expected to pay the Unit Bid Price for each Item upon removal based on weight.
The highest priced cumulative bid will be determined by each bidder’s total contract price identified in the “total amount” on the SF114. “Total Amount” block on the SF 114 will be equal to the cumulative total from all CLINs from column “Total Price Bid” on the SF 114A.
EXAMPLE 1: SF 114A
The bidder with the highest “TOTAL AMOUNT” bid will be considered the AHB and will be vetted prior to award in accordance with provisions in Section D below. It is expected that the awarded company will remove all of the items in this IFB or none of the items in this IFB. The awarded company must possess all appropriate license for all items or have subcontractors with appropriate licenses to remove all Items. Award will not be made to a bidder who fails to demonstrate the capability to remove the items listed in the IFB.
EXAMPLE 2: SF 114
D.4 A Responsive Bid:
Complies with the terms and conditions of the sales offering and satisfies the requirements as to the method and timeliness of the submission. Only responsive bids may be considered for award. A responsive bid submission shall contain at a minimum:
• SF114 completed and signed.
• SF114A
• The bid must remain valid 90 calendar days from the bid opening unless otherwise modified or cancelled.
• Bidder must view property in person in order to place a bid. Visit will be recorded by government employee via visitor logs.
D.5 How to Modify/Cancel Bid:
In addition to SBR Part 3, Articles B and C, to modify a bid, submit a new bid in the same manner as the previous bid. Separately, without disclosing bid amounts, notify the SCO of the modification. To cancel a bid, submit a zero
(0) bid in the same manner as the original bid. Notify the SCO of the bid cancellation (specify date, time, and method of bid submission).
D.6 Bid Evaluation:
A responsible bidder is one that has the necessary organization, experience, financial resources, accounting process, operational controls, technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them, to perform the requirements of the sales contract, has no disqualifying factors (i.e., is not suspended, debarred or an ineligible transferee) and able to pass the Agency’s vetting process. A responsive bid is one that has complied with all instructions for properly submitting a bid. Submitting the highest bid price does not convey any special right nor does it imply that the Purchaser shall be the primary removal company or exclusively allowed to remove throughout the term of this contract. The Government reserves the right to reject any bids that are not in the best interest of the Government. The general standards in FAR Part 9 on contractor responsibility determinations that are applicable to procurement contracts are not directly applicable to sales contracts awarded under 40 U.S. Code § 545 but may be considered by the Sales Contracting Officer in evaluating bidder responsibility.
The Government intends that a single award will be made to a responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid inclusive of all lines unless a determination is made to reject the bid under 41 CFR § 102-38.90. For illustrative purposes, if Bidder A’s bid submission cumulative total submits a bid for $150,000.00 “Total Amount,” and if Bidder B’s bid submission cumulative total submits a bid for $160,000.00 “Total Amount,” then Bidder B is the AHB since he/she would have the highest total amount priced responsive bid.
D.7 Ineligible Bidder:
Bidder will not be eligible for award if they are:
• Officially indebted to the Government.
• Excluded from federal programs by the General Services Administration as identified in the System for
Award Management at https://sam.gov/.
• Subject to denial, suspension, debarment, or other sanctions pursuant to export control and related laws, regulations, or orders administered by the DOS, DOC, DHS, or USTD. The DOS, DOC, DHS, and USTD name these entities, individuals, and countries in the Federal Register and at the following website:
Consolidated Screening List Search Engine (https://legacy.export.gov/csl-search).
D.8 Pre-Award Survey:
The Agency will conduct a pre-award survey of only the AHB. The SCO will provide notification that you are the
AHB.
https://sam.gov/
The End Use Certificate (EUC) DLA Form 1822, SOI DLA Form 2536, FAR Clause, and Certifier training will be included in the notification. A Trade Security Contract Assessment will be made by Agency personnel. The SOI must have parts 1-6 completed and signed. Complete the EUC according to the instructions provided and sign.
The AHB shall be required to provide detailed information on every storage location the AHB intends to use. The pre-award survey may be conducted at the AHB’s facility(ies), or other location(s) as deemed necessary by the Agency and may include but is not limited to a review of the AHB’s facilities and equipment, financial capability or disclosure of the AHB’s financial condition, quality assurance, safety, environmental responsibility, and transportation. The AHB is advised that accomplishment of a pre-award survey or furnishing documents to the Agency in support of the pre-award survey is part of the assessment of the bidder’s responsibility and is not a guarantee the bidder will receive award of a contract. The SCO may rely upon information obtained in the pre-award survey in making the assessment of the bidder’s present responsibility.
Once notified that you are the AHB, you will have ten (10) working days to complete and return to the SCO all documents provided in the AHB Notification. Be advised that the pre-award survey and providing documents to the Government is part of the evaluation to determine responsibility and is not a guarantee of contract award.
pre-award Survey will include but is not limited to the following:
a. Pass a responsibility check conducted through the Consolidated Screening List (CSL) search; however, this does not limit the requirements to be deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9.
b. The Purchaser’s Facility shall pass an inspection by Agency personnel prior to contact award.
c. An Environmental Responsibility Determination (ERD) will be conducted by Agency personnel.
d. A Trade Security Control Assessment will be made by agency personnel.
e. Necessary licenses, permits and certifications will be reviewed.
f. Validate FAR Provision 52.204-24 is marked and signed.
g. Complete and return the End Use Certificate (EUC), DLA Form 1822 to the SCO.
h. Provide Demilitarization/Mutilation Certifier appointment letters to the SCO.
If at any point the Agency determines the bidder that submitted the apparent high, responsive bid cannot be found responsible, the next highest bidder will be assessed in the same pre-award survey process. This same process of vetting the next highest responsive bidder may continue, until a responsive bidder is identified and is determined to be responsible.
D.8.1 Environmental Responsibility Determination (ERD):
The Environmental Support Branch of the Agency conducts an ERD on sale destinations to verify if the DoD purchased property will be managed in accordance with the Invitation for Bid, Statement of Intent, Federal, State, and local regulations. List all downstream facilities receiving Government property to be processed in the Statement of Intent. Do not list downstream recipients of processed property.
The purchaser is responsible for providing copies of requisite permits and/or registration numbers for downstream processors for the ERD.

https://www.deq.idaho.gov/permits/water-quality-permits-certifications/stormwater-permits/
If the initial and/or downstream processing of property will occur outside of the State of Idaho, the Purchaser is responsible for understanding and ensuring compliance with the regulatory requirements of that State. The Purchaser is responsible for providing copies of the required permits, licenses, and registrations for the processing facilities in accordance with State requirements for that location.

Certain commodities may require special licensing or permitting for transport based on state regulations. The Apparent High Bidder will be responsible for ensuring the transporters meet those regulations.
ERDs typically take 10 business days to complete. Any findings annotated by the Government during an ERD must be corrected prior to a proposed destination/facility’s use. Purchasers are not authorized to process Government material at a site other than those listed on the SOI.
Should Purchaser desire to use an alternate or additional destination at any time during the performance period, Purchaser will provide an updated SOI. Purchasers are not authorized to use a facility that has not been through the ERD process.
The Purchaser represents and warrants that the ultimate destination, use, and disposition of the property shall be in accordance with the SOI submitted and approved by the SCO.
D.9 Necessary Licenses, Permits and Certifications Shall be Reviewed:

D.10 Contract Award:
The SCO shall determine if each bid is responsive prior to award of the contract. The contract shall be awarded to the highest responsive bid submitted by a responsible bidder. In the event of termination of the original Purchaser, the SCO may award the contract to the next highest responsive, responsible bidder if bids have not expired, and such award is otherwise determined to be in the Government's best interest.
The Government intends that a single award will be made to a responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid per contract line item unless a determination is made to reject the bid under 41 CFR § 102-38.90.
The Agency reserves the right to reject any or all bids when such action is advantageous to the Government, or when it is in the public interest to do so.
When you have successfully completed the pre-award assessment as the AHB, you will receive a Statement indicating the amount of payment due. Submit payment within three (3) business days of the Statement (An extension of up to ten (10) business days may be authorized by the SCO upon written request by the AHB that is submitted before the initial three (3) business day suspense).
When payment is posted and confirmed by the SCO; and all other vetting has been completed, a Start of Work meeting will be scheduled.
