1. This amendment corrects instructions in Provision L.13, Paragraphs (A)(1), PROPOSAL

PREPARATION—SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS, VOLUME I- REQUIRED INFORMATION, Cover

Letter and Paragraph (C), VOLUME III- PRICE PROPOSAL, to remove the request for redundant proposal information.

a) Provision L.13(A)(1), PROPOSAL PREPARATION---SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS, VOLUME I-REQUIRED INFORMATION, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

1) Cover Letter. Include a cover letter with the proposal, attaching the completed representations, certifications and acknowledgments specified in Section K of this solicitation. The cover letter must be signed by an official authorized to contractually bind your company. As part of that letter, provide the following information:

(a) The offeror’s legal business name, CAGE code, DUNS number, and the names, address(es), telephone numbers, and email addresses of persons to be contacted for clarification of questions.

(b) If applicable, include a complete description, and documentation, of any proposed teaming or other business arrangements. Offerors proposing as a team, or other such business arrangement, shall fully describe this team or arrangement by outlining the relationship, commitment, and responsibilities of the parties.

(c) A Standard Form 1442 with Blocks 14A through 20C completed and signed by an official authorized to contractually bind the offeror. Include written acknowledgement of any solicitation amendments.

(d) Reserved.

(e) Reserved.

(f) A completed response to Section K, “REPRESENTATIONS, CERTIFICATIONS AND OTHER STATEMENTS OF OFFERORS.”

(g) A statement that the proposal is firm for a period of not fewer than 120 calendar days from the date the Price Proposal (Volume III) is due. See L.11(b)(7).

(h) A statement of acceptance of the anticipated contract provisions and proposed schedule, or specific exceptions taken to any of the terms and conditions.

b) Provision L.13(C), PROPOSAL PREPARATION---SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS, VOLUME

C. VOLUME III- PRICE PROPOSAL

The offeror shall provide a lump sum, firm fixed price proposal and a completed response to Section B, Clause B.1, SUPPLIES/SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED, for the Base Offer

Item and Option Items. A completed SF 24, Bid Bond, shall be included in the offeror’s price proposal.

This project qualifies for the Manufacturing and Research & Development Exemption with the California State Board of Equalization. This is a partial exemption from sales and use taxes at the rate of 4.1875% from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016, and at the rate of

NNA16543413R Amendment No. 11 Page | 3

3.9375% from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022. The offeror and its subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors are not relieved from their obligations for the remaining state tax and local and district taxes on transactions for this project. For exemption forms, see

Attachment J-6, CA Partial Exemption Certificates (BOE-230-M, BOE-230MC). Offerors are encouraged to consider this partial tax exemption when preparing their price proposal.

The Government assumes that adequate price competition exists to determine price reasonableness, thereby negating the need for the offeror’s submission of cost or pricing data (certified or information) above the required pricing in Schedule B of the solicitation.

An unreasonably low price proposal may indicate lack of understanding of the requirement and/or unreasonable pricing. Should additional pricing data be needed for the evaluation of price, offerors will be notified in accordance with the evaluation process set forth in Section

M. Since the Government intends to make award without holding discussions, offerors are encouraged to include their best pricing in their proposals.

(End of provision)
