1.16 CUSTOMS AND TAX EXEMPTION: In accordance with the Status of Forces Agreement, the U.S.

Government is entitled to an exemption from Japanese customs duties and Japanese commodity and gasoline taxes. The Contractor warrants that all taxes and customs duties pertinent to the procurement for which the

U.S. Government is exempt have been excluded from the contract price. The Contractor is required to submit a request in writing to the Contracting Officer for issuance of an import or tax exemption certificate, as appropriate, relieving the Contractor from such customs duties or taxes. Invoices submitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this contract shall be exclusive of all taxes or duties for which relief is available.

1.17 BIDS AND INVOICES EXCLUSIVE OF EXEMPTED TAXES AND DUTIES: Bids and any subsequent invoices submitted during performance of this contract shall not include the cost of any taxes or duties for which the U.S. government is exempt from paying under SOFA agreement with Japan and for which the contractor may obtain relief from Japanese authorities.

1.18 FAR PROVISION 52.229-11 AND FAR CLAUSE 52.229-12: FAR provision 52.229-11 and FAR clause 52.229-12 are included in this solicitation. This provision and clause concern the imposition of a 2 percent Federal excise tax withholding on any resultant contract award or payment request. This rule applies to Federal Government contracts for goods or services that are awarded to foreign persons. It implements the Department of the Treasury final regulations published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 55133 on August 18, 2016, under section 5000C of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the 2 percent tax on payments made by the U.S. Government to foreign entities pursuant to certain contracts.

Exemptions from this excise tax must be claimed by an Offeror when it submits, with its offer, a U.S.

Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available via the internet at www.irs.gov/w14. If not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent on each payment. Failure to submit IRS Form W-14 with a payment request will also result in an automatic withholding of 2 percent from the payment request.

When filling out the IRS Form W-14 the following information may be used to complete Part I, Line 6 and 7:

Line 6 Contract / reference number: N4008421B5500 Line 7 Name and address of the acquiring agency:

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Far East, Facilities Engineering and Acquisition Division (FEAD) Iwakuni City or town, state or province. Include postal code where appropriate Country (do not abbreviate) Bldg. 100, 1F, Misumi-cho, Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan 740-0025 Japan

Any exemption claimed and self-certified is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes concerning this tax are adjudicated by the IRS because the Section 5000C tax is a tax matter not a contract issue.

Offerors are encouraged to seek guidance from their own tax professionals for advice concerning the provision, clause, and the execution/submission of IRS Form W-14. Additional information is also available at:

https://www.navfac.navy.mil/navfac_worldwide/pacific/fecs/far_east/about_us/contractors_information.html

1.19 INCURRED EXPENSES: The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of a bid in response to this IFB.

1.20 NO ALTERNATE OR MULTIPLE BIDS: Neither multiple bids, nor bid variations or options, nor alternate or alternative bid will be considered in the evaluation.

1.21 SCHEDULE OF WORK (IDIQ)

a. Offerors shall enter unit price(s) and amount(s) for Contract Line Item (CLIN) 0001 on SF1442 and accompanying Exhibits (Summary Schedule of Price - Attachment (2); Roofing Schedule of Indefinite Quantity Work -Attachment (3); and Painting Schedule of Indefinite Quantity Work -

Attachment (4)). The offered price for the CLIN in the Schedule must be broken down by the ELINs listed on the Exhibits.

b. In the event that there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total amount, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid/offer and the total of CLINs, or exhibit line item numbers (ELINs) will be recomputed accordingly. The CLIN, which includes recomputed contract ELINs, will also be recomputed to take into account the change in the ELIN. If the bidder/offeror provides a total amount for a CLIN, or ELIN but fails to enter the unit price, the total amount divided by the CLIN, or ELIN will be held to be the intended unit price.

c. In the event that there is a difference between the hard copy and PDF/Microsoft Excel format version of the bid/offeror, the hard copy bid/offer will be held to be the intended bid/offer and the total of the CLIN or ELINs will be recomputed accordingly.

d. Offerors shall provide pricing in Japanese Yen. The contract will be awarded in a U.S. Dollar ($) amount value for the administrative convenience of the U.S. Government. Payment will be made in a Japanese Yen.

1.22 FAR 14.407-2 APPARENT CLERICAL MISTAKES:

(a) Any clerical mistake, apparent on its face in the bid, may be corrected by the contracting officer before award. The contracting officer first shall obtain from the bidder a verification of the bid intended.

Examples of apparent mistakes are –

(1) Obvious misplacement of a decimal point;

(2) Obviously incorrect discounts (for example, 1 percent 10 days, 2 percent 20 days, 5 percent 30 days);

(3) Obvious reversal of the price f.o.b. destination and price f.o.b. origin; and

(4) Obvious mistake in designation of unit.

(b) Correction of the bid shall be effected by attaching the verification to the original bid and a copy of the verification to the duplicate bid. Correction shall not be made on the face of the bid; however, it shall be reflected in the award document.

(c) Correction of bids submitted by electronic data interchange shall be effected by including in the electronic solicitation file the original bid, the verification request, and the bid verification.

1.23 CANCELLATION OF SOLICITATION:

The Government reserves the right to cancel all invitations and/or reject all bids before award if the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) later determines it to be necessary. The procedures in FAR 14.404 shall be followed. In addition, if the PCO determines that an invitation for bids should be canceled and that use of negotiations is in the Government’s best interest, the PCO may negotiate and make award without issuing a new solicitation provided the provisions set forth at FAR 14.404-1(f) are met.

1.24 PRE-AWARD SURVEY:

FAR 9.104 requires prospective contractors to demonstrate, among other things, that they have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or ability to obtain them, capability to comply with the required performance schedule, a satisfactory performance record, and be otherwise eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations. The pre-award survey is not a part of the technical evaluation.

The Government may make a pre-award survey of an offeror to determine whether such offeror is qualified and capable of performing the contract. The pre-award survey will involve examination of the bidder's financial and technical status and understanding of the contract requirements.

The followings are examples of the information that, upon request, the offeror shall be required to provide in writing to the pre-award survey team. Requested information shall be forwarded within three days of request.

Failure to provide requested information, or a determination, after review of the information, of the offeror’s non- responsibility, may result in rejection.

a. Identification of the Contractor's personnel and management to be used on this contract.

b. The Contractor's technical and management plans for performing required services.

c. Description of Contractor's facilities and equipment.

d. Summary of the Contractor's experience in performing work of the type required by this specification.

h. Contractor Quality Control plan for this contract.
