(2) If evaluation results in a tie between an offeror that requested the substitution of foreign construction material based on unreasonable cost and an offeror that did not request an exception, the Contracting Officer will award to the offeror that did not request an exception based on unreasonable cost.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

All proposals shall be submitted by email to the Contracting Officer at capplegate@usgs.gov by the closing date and time indicated on the cover page of the solicitation. Late submissions will not be accepted. Hard copies, facsimile transmissions, or documentation submitted through any on-line portal will not be accepted.

Offerors must submit documentation demonstrating their qualifications to perform this work. The USGS is interested in technical capability, capacity to perform in the required time, recent and relevant experience, and recent and relevant past performance. Offerors must also submit a work plan detailing how they plan to complete this project within the required time.

There is no prescribed format for submissions, but they must not exceed twenty (20) single-sided pages of normal-sized print.

Regarding price, offerors must submit a firm-fixed price to complete 1) a drawing that is IAW ADA Regulations, and 2) completion of the physical project – building a poured concrete ADA ramp. Offerors must also submit a proposed plan to include the timeline and progress milestones of the total project.

EVALUATION OF CONTRACTORS

Offerors must be appropriately registered (concrete) in the State of Washington at the time offers are due to be considered for this project; this is a definitive responsibility criterion, subject to verification. All subcontractors, if applicable, must also be appropriately registered. An offeror without this registration will not be considered for award.

The USGS will select for award the offeror whose offer conforming to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the USGS, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

• Capability, including technical capability and capacity to perform in the required time

• Corporate experience and experience of key personnel and/or subcontractors

• Past performance

• Price

In evaluating capability, we will review your work plan and consider such things as availability of equipment and personnel, availability to work immediately and ability to meet the overall project timeline, contingency planning, etc.

Experience is the degree to and frequency with which you have performed similar work before. Recent and relevant experience is preferred. In evaluating experience, we will evaluate both corporate experience and experience of key personnel and/or subcontractors to be assigned to this project. If subcontractors are identified, we will also evaluate their experience.

140G0320Q0155 Page 10 of 33

Past performance is the measure of how well you have performed similar work before. Recent and relevant past performance is preferred. If subcontractors are identified, we will also evaluate their past performance. Submit at least three references with contact information. Additionally, we will utilize sources of past performance information to the extent data are available.

Any individuals or subcontractors identified by name in your offer as “key personnel” and used as part of the capability, experience, or past performance evaluation must be assigned to work on the project if awarded; proposals must specifically affirm this requirement and clearly indicate any “key personnel.” Subsequent changes must be approved by the Contracting

Officer.

It is the prospective contractor’s responsibility to submit sufficient information to allow a meaningful evaluation in each of these areas. Failure to do so will negatively impact our evaluation of your quotation.

We will select for award the offeror whose offer conforming to this solicitation will be most advantageous to the USGS, considering the overall non-price rating and the price as approximately equal in importance to each other.

52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN ACT–CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (MAY 2014)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

“Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

“Cost of components” means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

140G0320Q0155 Page 14 of 33

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: none [Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate “none”]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable.
