Pursuant to FAR 4.1102, firms must be SAM registered at the time their bid is submitted. All bidders must register and complete online representations and certifications prior to the bid opening. Bidders that have not registered or completed their online representations and certifications may be rejected. Bidders are advised that the initial registration process in SAM may take several weeks. The Government will review completed representations and certifications in SAM following the bid opening. Submission of paper copies of completed representations and certifications is not required with bid submissions.

Registration instructions may be obtained, and online registration may be accomplished, at www.SAM.gov

2. Section 889 compliance. Bidders shall complete the representation in SAM regarding FAR 52.204-26 Covered Telecommunications Equipment or Services -Representation. For additional information see: https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/page_file_uploads/Section-889- Explanation-1.pdf

3. Bidder Inquiries. Any prospective bidder desiring an explanation or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, specifications, etc., must submit their questions using the ProjNet system at https://www.projnet.org

Clause 52.214-6 requires that all inquiries be submitted in writing. To submit a new inquiry or to view inquiries submitted by other prospective bidders, users must be registered and signed into the ProjNet system. Bidders may register online at https://www.projnet.org (click on “Register”). The following information will be needed to submit or view bidder inquiries:

Managing Agency: USACE The Solicitation Number is: W912ES22B0006 The Bidder Inquiry “Key” Number is: 6443MC-GE4FDK

Bidders are requested to submit inquiries as early as possible prior to bid opening in order to ensure adequate time is allotted to form an appropriate response and amend the solicitation if necessary. Those who submit an inquiry will receive a system-generated email acknowledgement. All answers to inquiries will be posted in ProjNet after they have been reviewed by the USACE technical team. Bidders are advised to review the solicitation in its entirety and to review all previously submitted questions and responses prior to submitting a new inquiry.

4. Bid Guarantee. This solicitation requires each bidder to submit an acceptable bid guarantee (current version of Standard Form 24) along with its bid (see provision 52.228-1). The Contracting Officer has the authority and responsibility to determine whether the bid bond and its accompanying documentation clearly show that the person(s) executing the bid bond on behalf of the surety have the authority to unequivocally bind the bonding company.

The bid bond must be accompanied by a signed and dated power-of-attorney. If a signed and dated power-of-attorney does not accompany the bid bond, the bid must be rejected as non-responsive. Please note that a non-responsive bid may not be corrected after bid opening to make it responsive – the bid must be rejected. The power-of-attorney must be issued by the surety (the Treasury Department-approved bonding company, not the insurance agency writing the bond).

Original powers-of-attorney and photocopies or facsimiles of original, otherwise valid, powers-of attorney provide sufficient evidence of authority to bind the surety. Questions concerning the authenticity or enforceability of a power-of-attorney may be resolved by the Contracting Officer, often in consultation with the surety, after the bid opening.

This note does not provide offerors with an all-inclusive checklist for submitting an acceptable bid bond rather, it provides some information the validity of powers-of-attorney.

5. Responsibility Determination. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.1, the apparent low bidder will be requested to provide the following information:

a. A detailed description of the work to be self-performed for each site location as applicable and resources available to demonstrate the firm is capable of complying with 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting (Deviation 2021-O0008) (SEP 2021).

b. Financial Statements, including balance sheets that identify major categories of assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity; and profit and loss statements for the past three (3) years.

c. A Bank Certification of Financial Capability (line of credit).

The above information must be received by the Contracting Officer within two business days after the bid opening. This information will be treated as confidential commercial or financial information to the extent permitted by law under exemption 4 to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4). The financial statements should be not over 60 days old. If over 60 days old, a certification shall be attached stating that the financial condition of the firm is substantially the same or, if not the same, the changes that have taken place.

6. Unit Pricing/Extended pricing. All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of a discrepancy between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will govern.

a. For the purpose of initial evaluation of bids, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of bidding schedule as submitted by the bidder:

(1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(2) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern;

(3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(4) Apparent errors in addition of lump sum and extended prices will be corrected.

b. For the purpose of bid evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the bidder intends its bid to be evaluated on the basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the bid will be so reflected on the abstract of bids.

7. Quantities. All quantities are estimated except where unit is given as “EA” (each) or “JOB” (job).

8. Facsimile or Electronic bids. Facsimile or Electronic (email) bids and modifications thereto are not authorized and will not be accepted.

9. Unbalanced Bids. The government may reject as non-responsive any bid that is materially unbalanced between contract line-item numbers or sub-items on the bidding schedule. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices that are significantly less than cost for some work and significantly more than cost for other work. A materially unbalanced bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer has a reasonable doubt as to whether the bid will result in the lowest overall cost to the government even though it may be the low evaluated bid. Additionally, a bid that is unbalanced so as to be tantamount to an advance payment will be rejected as non-responsive even if acceptance of the bid would result in the lowest overall cost to the government. Reference is made to paragraph (d) of clause 52.214-19, “Contract Award – Sealed Bidding – Construction.”

10. Bidder Qualifications. Before a bid is considered for award, the bidder may be requested by the Government to submit a statement regarding his previous experience in performing comparable work, his business and technical organization, financial resources, and plant available to be used in performing the work.

11. Availability and Use of Utility Services

The Government will make available to the Contractor, from existing outlets and supplies to the extent that they are available, all reasonably required amounts of electricity without charge. The Contractor, at his own expense and in a workmanlike manner satisfactory to the Contracting Officer, shall install and maintain all necessary temporary connections and distribution lines, and shall remove the same prior to final acceptance of the construction.

12. All Or None Qualifications. A vendor must provide a price on all items in this solicitation to be eligible for award. The Government will award on an “All or None” basis. Evaluation of bids/offers will be based upon only the total price included on the pricing schedule for all items. If options are included in the pricing schedule the evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the applicable option clause in the solicitation.

DEFINITIVE RESPONSIBILITY CRITERIA/SPECIAL STANDARDS OF RESPONSIBILITY.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.1, as a pre-condition to contract award, the apparent low bidder shall provide the following documentation, meeting the definitive responsibility criteria below not later than 5 business days after bid opening.

Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code means—

(1) An identifier assigned to entities located in the United States or its outlying areas by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch to identify a commercial or government entity by unique location; or

(2) An identifier assigned by a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas that the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch records and maintains in the CAGE master file. This type of code is known as a NATO CAGE (NCAGE) code.

(b) The Offeror shall provide its CAGE code with its offer with its name and location address or otherwise include it prominently in its proposal. The CAGE code must be for that name and location address. Insert the word "CAGE" before the number. The CAGE code is required prior to award.

(c) CAGE codes may be obtained via--

(1) Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. If the Offeror is located in the United States or its outlying areas and does not already have a CAGE code assigned, the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch will assign a CAGE code as a part of the SAM registration process. SAM registrants located outside the United States and its outlying areas shall obtain a NCAGE code prior to registration in SAM (see paragraph (c)(3) of this provision).

(2) The DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch. If registration in SAM is not required for the subject procurement, and the Offeror does not otherwise register in SAM, an Offeror located in the United States or its outlying areas may request that a CAGE code be assigned by submitting a request at https://cage.dla.mil.

(3) The appropriate country codification bureau. Entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas may obtain an NCAGE code by contacting the Codification Bureau in the foreign entity's country if that country is a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. NCAGE codes may be obtained from the NSPA at https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx if the foreign entity's country is not a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. Points of contact for codification bureaus, as well as additional information on obtaining NCAGE codes, are available at http://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm.

(d) Additional guidance for establishing and maintaining CAGE codes is available at https://cage.dla.mil.

(e) When a CAGE code is required for the immediate owner and/or the highest-level owner by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.204-17 or 52.212-3(p), the Offeror shall obtain the respective CAGE code from that entity to supply the CAGE code to the Government.

(f) Do not delay submission of the offer pending receipt of a CAGE code.

(g) If the solicitation includes FAR clause 52.204-2, Security Requirements, a subcontractor requiring access to classified information under a contract shall be identified with a CAGE code on the DD Form 254. The Contractor shall require a subcontractor requiring access to classified information to provide its CAGE code with its name and location address or otherwise include it prominently in the proposal. Each location of subcontractor performance listed on the DD Form 254 is required to reflect a corresponding unique CAGE code for each listed location unless the work is being performed at a Government facility, in which case the agency location code shall be used. The CAGE code must be for that name and location address. Insert the word "CAGE" before the number. The CAGE code is required prior to award.

52.204-22 ALTERNATIVE LINE ITEM PROPOSAL (JAN 2017)

(a) The Government recognizes that the line items established in this solicitation may not conform to the Offeror's practices. Failure to correct these issues can result in difficulties in acceptance of deliverables and processing payments. Therefore, the Offeror is invited to propose alternative line items for which bids, proposals, or quotes are requested in this solicitation to ensure that the resulting contract is economically and administratively advantageous to the Government and the Offeror.

(b) The Offeror may submit one or more additional proposals with alternative line items, provided that alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. However, acceptance of an alternative proposal is a unilateral decision made solely at the discretion of the Government. Offers that do not comply with the line items specified in this solicitation may be determined to be nonresponsive or unacceptable.

52.214-7 LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS OF BIDS (NOV

1999)

(a) Bidders are responsible for submitting bids, and any modifications or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the invitation for bids (IFB) by the time specified in the IFB.

(b)(1) Any bid, modification, or withdrawal received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of bids is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late bid would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(c) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the bid wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(d) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that bids cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of bids by the exact time specified in the IFB and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the IFB, the time specified for receipt of bids will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids. If the IFB authorizes facsimile bids, bids may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.214-31, Facsimile Bids.

(c) The Government may accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded by a restrictive limitation in the solicitation or the bid.
