Total bid price (in words): ______________________________________________

The price entered shall include all costs of performance. No price adjustment for wage rates, materials, or escalation will be made. Bids offering other than a firm-fixed lump-sum price for line item 0001 will be rejected as nonresponsive.

Section 3. Description of Work

The work consists of the complete replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system at the Georgetown Visitor Center, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, as specified in the Statement of Work (Attachment 1). Existing ductwork is retained, cleaned, and reused as specified. The building is a nationally listed historic structure; the historic preservation conditions in the Statement of Work, including the restrictions on new conduit and wall penetrations, bind the contractor.

The Statement of Work and all attachments are part of this solicitation. Requests for explanation or interpretation must be submitted in accordance with FAR provision 52.214-6, Explanation to Prospective Bidders, in time to permit a written response before bids are due; oral explanations are not binding.

Contractor design responsibility

(a) The Statement of Work is a performance specification. The Government furnishes no drawings and will provide no Government design. Design of the replacement system is delegated to the contractor.

(b) The contractor is responsible for field verification of existing conditions and for the design, sizing, and selection of all replacement equipment, based on its own load calculations (the calculation the Statement of Work identifies as the "Schedule J Calculation," performed per ACCA Manual J or an equivalent ASHRAE method) and its verification that selected equipment will perform with the retained ductwork.

(c) Design submittal and Government approval. Before beginning any physical work, the contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) the complete design package required by the Statement of Work: plans, load calculations on industry-standard worksheets, equipment selections with manufacturer performance data, and a plain-language summary. The Government will review the design package and issue written approval before installation work begins. Government approval confirms conformance with the performance requirements of this solicitation and does not transfer design responsibility to the Government.

(d) Professional engineer seal. Design documents shall be prepared and signed by the individual responsible for the design using the methods in paragraph (b); a professional engineer's seal is not required, except that any design element that alters structural members or requires a penetration of the historic fabric beyond those the Statement of Work authorizes shall be prepared or reviewed and sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the District of Columbia.

(e) ASHRAE compliance. The replacement system shall be designed and installed in conformance with applicable ASHRAE standards, including ASHRAE Standard 62.1, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, and ASHRAE Standard 15, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems. Replacement equipment shall meet or exceed the Federal minimum energy-efficiency standards in effect at the time of design submittal (10 CFR Parts 430 and 431) and the replacement equipment standards in the Statement of Work.

Site access and inspection

Bidders are urged and expected to inspect the site before bidding. The clauses at 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions, and 52.236-3, Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work, will be included in any contract awarded under this solicitation, and the bidder bears the consequences of conditions a site inspection would have revealed.

An organized site visit at the Georgetown Visitor Center is anticipated; the date, time, and assembly point will be posted with this solicitation on SAM.gov or issued by amendment. A bidder that cannot attend the organized visit may arrange individual site access during normal duty hours by emailing the Contracting Officer at casey_winters@ios.doi.gov.

Section 4. Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work

(a) The contractor shall commence work within 10 calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed, shall prosecute the work diligently, and shall complete the entire work ready for use not later than 335 calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed.

(b) The time stated for completion includes final cleanup of the premises and all punch list corrections.

(c) Time is of the essence in the performance of this contract.

(d) The Government will make existing building electric power and water available to the contractor from existing outlets, without charge, for reasonable quantities required for performance of the work (see FAR clause 52.236-14, Availability and Use of Utility Services, Section 9). The contractor shall provide, maintain, and remove any temporary connections before final acceptance.

(e) Insurance. Before commencing work, and during the entire performance period, the contractor shall provide and maintain at least the following kinds and minimum amounts of insurance (see FAR clause 52.228-5, Insurance—Work on a Government Installation, Section 9.1, and DIAR clause 1452.228-70, Liability Insurance—Department of the Interior, Section 9.3):

(1) Workers' compensation and employer's liability. Coverage as required by applicable Federal and District of Columbia statutes, with employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000.

(2) General liability. Bodily injury liability coverage, comprehensive form, of at least $500,000 per occurrence.

(3) Automobile liability. Comprehensive form, with at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage.

Section 5. Bid Submission Instructions

5.1 Electronic submission authorized; email is the only method

Bids shall be submitted by email, and only by email, to the designated bid-receipt address: casey_winters@ios.doi.gov. Email to this address is the electronic commerce method authorized for this solicitation under FAR 14.202-8 and FAR 14.301(d). Bids delivered by any other means, including paper delivery, facsimile, or email to any other address, will not be considered. The Government is accepting only electronic bids under this solicitation; the SF-1442's printed references to sealed envelopes and paper submission are inherited from the standard form and do not apply, and the procedures in this Section 5 govern.

5.2 Bid package format: one password-protected ZIP file

(a) The complete bid shall be submitted as a single ZIP file protected by a password chosen by the bidder (an encrypted ZIP). The encrypted ZIP file is the Government-approved electronic equivalent of a sealed bid.

(b) The ZIP file shall contain: (1) the completed and signed SF-1442; (2) the completed Bid Schedule (Section 2); (3) acknowledgment of every amendment to this IFB (FAR provision 52.214-3); (4) the completed representation under FAR provision 52.229-11, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements—Notice and Representation (Section 10.2); and

(5) the executed bid guarantee (Section 7).

(c) The email subject line shall read: SEALED BID, IFB 140P3026B0002, [bidder name].

The body of the email shall not state the bid price or any other bid content; content stated outside the encrypted ZIP is not sealed.

(d) The ZIP file, including all contents, shall not exceed 25 MB. Oversize transmissions are the bidder's risk.

5.3 Password rules (read carefully)

(a) Do not send the password before the bid opening. Do not include it in the submission email or any other communication before the opening. The password seals the bid; a bid whose password is delivered to the Government before the opening is no longer sealed.

(b) At the public bid opening (Section 6), the bidder shall provide the password when requested. Provide it by private message to the Contracting Officer in the meeting chat, or by another private channel the Contracting Officer designates at the opening.

(c) Choose a unique, single-use password that is safe to disclose. The opening is public and recorded. Do not reuse a password from any other account or system, and do not choose a password containing offensive, sensitive, or personal content.

(d) The risk of a failed password is the bidder's. If the password is not provided at the opening, or does not open the ZIP file, the bid cannot be read. The Contracting Officer will determine disposition consistent with FAR Part 14.

5.4 Timeliness

(a) A bid is timely only if the ZIP file is received at the designated bid-receipt address by the bid due date and time in Section 1. Receipt is measured at the designated mailbox, not at the time of sending. The risk of transmission delay, mailbox size limits, and security quarantine is the bidder's.

(b) Late bids are governed by FAR 14.304. A late electronically submitted bid may be considered only if it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day before the bid due date, or under the other narrow conditions stated in FAR 14.304. The password provided at the opening is the key to the bid, not the bid; providing the password at the opening does not make a timely ZIP file late.

(c) Bids may be modified or withdrawn before the bid due date and time in accordance with FAR provision 52.214-7. A withdrawal or modification shall be sent by email to the bid-receipt address, clearly identified in the subject line.

5.5 Before the opening

Bids received are held unopened. The Government will not confirm receipt contents, will not open or view any bid, and will not disclose the identity or number of bidders before the public opening (FAR 14.401).

Section 6. Public Bid Opening

(a) Bids will be opened publicly at the date and time in Section 1, by Microsoft Teams video conference open to all bidders and the general public. The join link will be posted with this solicitation on SAM.gov and provided by amendment if it changes. The session will be recorded. Only timely bids will be opened. A bid that is not timely under Section 5.4 will not be opened except as FAR 14.304 requires to determine its status.

(b) At the opening, the bid opening officer will request each bidder's password (Section 5.3(b)), open each timely bid, and read aloud the bidder's name and total bid price.

Passwords will not be read aloud or included in the recording where a private channel is used.

(c) The abstract of bids will be recorded on Optional Form 1419 or an automated equivalent and will be available for public inspection after the opening (FAR 14.403).

Section 7. Bid Guarantee and Bonds

(a) A bid guarantee is required with each bid, in the amount of 20 percent of the bid price or $3,000,000, whichever is less. Acceptable forms are those stated in FAR provision 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee (Section 10.2), including a bid bond on Standard Form 24. Submit the executed bid guarantee inside the encrypted ZIP file as part of the bid (Section 5.2); for a bid bond, a complete scanned copy of the executed SF-24, including the surety's power of attorney, satisfies submission with the bid, and the bidder shall furnish the original within 3 business days of the Contracting Officer's request. Failure to furnish the bid guarantee in the proper form and amount by the time set for bid opening may be cause for rejection of the bid.

(b) The successful bidder shall furnish a performance bond (Standard Form 25) in the penal amount of 100 percent of the contract price and a payment bond (Standard Form 25A) in the penal amount of 100 percent of the contract price, within 10 calendar days after contract award and before the Notice to Proceed, in accordance with FAR clause 52.228-15, Performance and Payment Bonds—Construction (Section 9.2). Sureties must appear on Treasury Department Circular 570, or the bonds must be supported by other acceptable security as the clause provides. An irrevocable letter of credit offered as security shall meet the requirements of FAR clause 52.228-14, Irrevocable Letter of Credit (Section 9.1).

Section 8. Davis-Bacon Wage Determination

(a) Construction Wage Rate Requirements (Davis-Bacon and Related Acts) apply to this contract. The applicable wage determination is General Decision Number DC20260002, Modification 3, published May 18, 2026 (District of Columbia;

construction type Building; Washington, DC), incorporated in full text as Attachment 2 to this solicitation.

(b) All laborers and mechanics employed on the site of the work shall be paid not less than the wage rates and fringe benefits in Attachment 2, in accordance with FAR clause 52.222-6, Construction Wage Rate Requirements.

(c) If the Department of Labor modifies the wage determination before bid opening and the modification is effective for this solicitation under FAR 22.404-6, the modification will be incorporated by amendment.

(ii) The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. (To determine if the public has access to the compensation information, see the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission total compensation filings at http://www.sec.gov/answers/execomp.htm.).

(2) First-tier subcontract information. The Contractor shall report the following information by the end of the month following the month of award of each first-tier subcontract award:
