Document Title Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) – Crowley Reach 1

Preface This section is a synopsis of the items identified by Reclamation that have been problematic for some contractors. The items have been identified through previous real-world performance of construction with Reclamation. The following items are not all encompassing of problems that may or may not be encountered and are only meant to identify general challenges contractors may run into when contracting with Reclamation for construction work. The purpose of this document is to allow contractors to price construction more accurately at contract inception and reduce contract interpretation disagreements after contract award. It is highly recommended the Contractor read and become intimately familiar with both the solicitation and contract specifications and drawings prior to construction, as that can also head off potential disagreements as the work is being completed.

NOTE: The examples given below are for reference purposes only. Reclamation does not take responsibility for the application of calculations during proposal creation. The Contractor is required to apply all calculations internally, and the items in this document are for awareness purposes only.

Estimated Magnitude of Construction:

The estimated magnitude of construction is between $40,000,000 and $65,000,000.

NAICS Code and Size Standard The applicable NAICS code for this solicitation is 237110 with a small business size standard of $45,000,000. Offerors must have an active SAM.gov registration under this NAICS at the time of proposal submission.

Quality Control & Quality Assurance:

FAR Clause 52.246-12 requires the Contractor to establish a construction inspection system to ensure quality. Accordingly, per section 01 46 00 – Quality Procedures, a Quality Control Plan is required to clearly outline the Contractors Quality Control (QC) Program to cover all construction operations, both onsite and offsite, including work by subcontractors, fabricators, suppliers, and purchasing agents. The program must include a qualified, experienced Quality Control Supervisor (see part 1.05 Qualifications of the above specification section), who has authority delegated from an authorized official of the firm, to develop and manage quality control processes for all aspects of work specified and who has authorization to stop work if necessary. A well-managed Contractor’s QC Program is essential to ensuring the work conforms to contract requirements. The effectiveness of the Contractor’s QC Program will be subject to continued review and approval by the Government’s Contracting Officer (CO).

The contractor will conduct its own Quality Assurance (QA) program, and Reclamation will only intermittently conduct its own Quality Assurance for specification compliance only, which may include inspection and tests performed by Government staff to ensure compliance with terms of the contract. Test performed by Reclamation will be used to ensure compliance with contract requirements and are not to be a replacement for specified Contractor quality contract and quality assurance testing.

In the event of a discrepancy between Contractor’s and Government’s test results if performed, Reclamation’s quality assurance test results will be compared to the contractor’s results and a determination must be made whether the item conforms to the specifications or needs to be repaired/replaced at no additional cost to the government.

Quantity Surveys:

FAR Clause 52.236-16 Alt I Quantity Surveys will be included in this contract. Many contractor personnel have had issues providing adequate survey data IAW the referenced clause. This requires both preliminary and final surveys to be performed by the contractor. The contract requires (specs and clause) that a surveying plan be submitted (Surveying Plan) IAW specification 01 33 00. The surveying plan must be approved by Reclamation prior to the beginning of surveying work. The contract also requires submittal of all quantity survey notes and computations, as well as workday’s survey notes. This is important as the quantity for payment must be verified against the actual survey data. Quantity surveys and calculations, along with as-built drawings, are required to be submitted with each monthly construction progress payment for a contractor’s invoice to be considered as proper. Once construction is complete and all submittals are finalized, the balance of the lump sum price will be paid in the final invoice, quantity surveys are used to ensure the government does not unintentionally advance pay during progress payments.

The Government will have survey crews on site as part of its internal construction oversight and inspection program.

Document Title Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) – Crowley Reach 1

However, this is not to be relied on by the Contractor as meeting the survey specifications. The Contractor is expected to provide fulltime survey support under the direction of a registered professional land surveyor licensed in the state where the work is being completed IAW the survey specifications (section 01 71 20 – Surveying). Historically, many contractors have missed this requirement, and it has led to payment disagreements.

Submittals:

The submittals required for Reclamation projects can be very detailed. Reclamation is a very data-centric organization of engineering-minded personnel. As such, the data needs to be correct and submittals shall be thought out, in a logical format, and be thorough. A ‘shotgun-spread’ approach will not work. Meaning, if a contractor submits superfluous information and/or with no format or shown understanding of the items, it will likely lead to rejection and a required resubmittal of the items. The same is true if a contractor only submits a portion of the items required under a requirement submittal number (RSN). The Contractor is responsible for providing quality control of contractor and subcontractor submittals to ensure they contain all, but no more than, the items required by a particular RSN. Reclamation will retain many, if not all, of the records in library retention for many years. This is for awareness purposes only.

Project Record Documents (i.e. As-Built Drawings):

Section 01 78 30 of the specifications covers this in detail. Reclamation expects full compliance with keeping drawings on site as required in the specifications and final electronic as-builts in .dwg format. See specifications for further information.

Cultural Resources Compliance and Archaeological Monitoring:

Given the density of archaeological sites and artifacts in this area of the country, some items of archaeological and cultural importance may be encountered during construction, including previously unknown sites and artifacts called discoveries. The delays for any ROW restrictions needed to protect those resources shown in the bid documents shall be included in the initial bid. The contract may be modified for time and/or cost if cultural resources discoveries are encountered, and the Contractor does not have other areas where work can be shifted. Be sure to read the specifications sections. See specifications section 01 57 60 and 01 57 90 for further details. It can be expected that the construction monitors of an Archaeological or Monitoring Firm may contact the Reclamation personnel and have the CO direct a temporary stop work until the discovery is mitigated or otherwise addressed and resolved.

Project Specific Areas of Concern:

The project crosses an area within the Town of Boone with potentially contaminated materials. See specification sections 01 57 20, 51 02 60 and 51 02 61 for preliminary findings, required testing, and required CDPHE submittals. See specification sections 31 23 22 and 33 11 10 and drawings for the special encasement required to protect the pipe in this area.

Another project specific area of concern is the limited footprint available near the western limits of the Horizontal Directional Drilled (HDD) installation. This falls within the Town of Boone. Also see specification sections 01 55 00 and 01 55 20 for requirements for maintaining access for residents and the general public.

Permitting for the railroad crossings has not been finalized at the time of this solicitation; therefore, this work is included as a separate executable option. Refer to the drawings and Specification Section 01 11 00 for the scope and definition of Option A (identified as Optional Price Schedule B in Section B). Attachment 4, “DRAFT UPRR Exhibit C – Insurance Requirements,” includes a draft copy of the Union Pacific Railroad pipeline permit and the associated insurance requirements. These insurance requirements will only be applicable upon exercise of the option and are in addition to those outlined in clause

1452.228‑70, LIABILITY INSURANCE – DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR (JULY 1996).

Taxes:

In accordance with FAR 52.229-3, the contract price offered by contractors includes all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes. The Contractor must rely on its internal tax experts to ensure full compliance with tax laws.

Site Visit:

Please see section L SITE CONDITIONS AND PRESENTATION (CONSTRUCTION) for information regarding site conditions/visit.

Subcontractors:

Subcontractors cannot submit partial bids straight to the Government. Subcontractors shall bid directly to prime contractors.

Items will not be pre-qualified during the synopsis or solicitation period. It is the prime contractor’s responsibility to confirm

Document Title Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) – Crowley Reach 1 an item meets the specifications of this requirement.

52.222-11 SUBCONTRACTS (LABOR STANDARDS) MAY 2014:

Please carefully read this clause and ensure SF1413’s are emailed to the COR and Contract Specialist, with a cc to the Contracting Officer.

Upon receiving the notification from the Contractor, the Contracting Officer must -

(1) Advise the Contractor in writing after receipt of the Contractor's letter that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract effort and does not constitute a change under the Changes clause of the contract; or

(2) Advise the Contractor that the Government will issue a written change order.

(f) A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer either to agree that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract or to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect to the technical direction will be subject to the provisions of the clause entitled “Disputes.”

(End of clause)

SECTION H -- Special Contract Requirements

H.1 OPTION FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY DEPENDENT WORK (OPTIONAL PRICE SCHEDULE B)

(a) Description of Option Work The work identified in Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) B-1 through B-20 is contingent upon the Government obtaining the necessary right‑of‑way from Union Pacific Railroad. The Contractor shall not commence this work until the Contracting Officer issues a formal written notice exercising the option.

(b) Government Right to Exercise the Option The Government may exercise this option by written notice to the Contractor at any time within 367 days after the start of the contract Period of Performance (POP). If exercised on or before this date, no adjustment shall be made to the contract’s overall POP.

(c) Option Exercise After 367 days from POP start date If the Government exercises the option after 367 days from the POP start date, the Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable extension of the POP. The extension will consist of the minimum number of calendar days reasonably required to complete the option work, considering site conditions, access constraints, and project sequencing. The Contracting Officer will issue a unilateral modification establishing the adjusted POP.

(d) Pricing of Option Work The Contractor’s pricing for CLINs B-1 through B-20 shall include all labor, materials, equipment, mobilization/demobilization, additional insurance, and other incidentals necessary to perform the option work. Pricing shall remain valid through the latest date by which the Government may exercise the option, as stated in this clause.

(e) No Duty to Exercise The Government is under no obligation to exercise this option. The Contractor shall have no claim for lost profits, standby costs, or other damages should the Government choose not to exercise the option.

(f) Notice of Expectation Only Any discussions, schedules, forecasts, or informal communications regarding potential right‑of‑way timing shall not constitute notice of intent to exercise the option or obligate the Government in any way.

H.2 VARIATION IN ESTIMATED QUANTITY

If the quantity of a unit-priced item in this contract is an estimated quantity and the actual quantity of the unit-priced item varies more than 15 percent above or below the estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon any increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 115 percent or below 85 percent of the estimated quantity. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completion, the Contractor may request, in writing, an extension of time, to be received by the Contracting Officer within 10 days from the beginning of the delay, or within such further period as may be granted by the Contracting Officer before the date of final settlement of the contract.

Upon the receipt of a written request for an extension, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and make an adjustment for extending the completion date as, in the judgement of the Contracting Officer, is justified.

H.3 DOI-AAAP-0050 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM

(DECEMBER 2015)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at: https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6)The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.
