CONTRACT LINE ITEM INSTRUCTION

Bidders shall enter lump sum prices for Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) on the bidding item furnished on this Standard Form 1442 (Solicitation, offer and Award).

CLIN 0001, Reline Fire Water Storage Tank 558: shall be the entire work complete in accordance with (IAW) the drawings and specifications enclosed herein.

BASIS FOR AWARD

-The Government reserves the right to award a contract based on the offers received, and may, at its discretion, decline to award any contract.

The primary criterion for award will be the selection of the offeror proposing the lowest evaluated price that is deemed technically acceptable.

-The Government intends to conduct the selection process based on initial proposals without engaging in discussions with offerors, except for limited clarifications as permitted under FAR 15.306(a). However, the Government retains the option to conduct discussions should the Contracting Officer subsequently determine that they are necessary to facilitate a sound and judicious selection.

-The Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process is deemed appropriate for this acquisition, as it is anticipated to yield the optimal value proposition through the selection of a technically compliant proposal at the lowest achievable price. To promote efficient competition, proposals will be initially ranked according to price. The Government will endeavor to award a contract to the offeror submitting the lowest-priced, technically acceptable proposal. Should the lowest-priced proposal be found technically unacceptable, the Government may, at its sole discretion, expand the scope of review to include additional proposals until a technically acceptable proposal is identified.

BASIS FOR EVALUATION

The evaluation will encompass an assessment of price, corporate experience, and past performance.

(ii) No entity owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President's or Secretary of State's determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a).

The Offeror is providing separate information with its offer in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this provision.(2)

(c) Procedures for reviewing the annual unclassified report (see paragraph (b)(1) of this provision). For clarity, references to the report in this section refer to the entirety of the annual unclassified report, including any separate reports that are incorporated by reference into the annual unclassified report.

(1) Check the table of contents of the annual unclassified report and the country section headings of the reports incorporated by reference to identify the foreign countries listed there. Determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror may have engaged in any activity related to one or more of such foreign countries.

(2) If such activity might have occurred, review all findings in the report associated with those foreign countries to determine whether or not each such foreign country was determined to be in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or to be not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. For clarity, in the annual report an explicit certification of non-compliance is equivalent to a determination of violation.

However, the following statements in the annual report are not equivalent to a determination of violation:

(i) An inability to certify compliance.

(ii) An inability to conclude compliance.

(iii) A statement about compliance concerns.

(3) If so, determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or is a significant factor in the determination in the report that one or more of these foreign countries is in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. Review the narrative for any such findings reflecting a determination of violation or non-adherence related to those foreign countries in the report, including the finding itself, and to the extent necessary, the conduct giving rise to the compliance or adherence concerns, the analysis of compliance or adherence concerns, and efforts to resolve compliance or adherence concerns.

(4) The Offeror may submit any questions with regard to this report by email to NDAA1290Cert@state.gov. To the extent feasible, the Department of State will respond to such email inquiries within 3 business days.

(d) Do not submit an offer unless-

(1) A certification is provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision and submitted with the offer; or

(2) In accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this provision, the Offeror provides with its offer information that the President of the United States has

(i) Waived application under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(d) or (e); or

(ii) Determined under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(g)(2) that the entity has ceased all activities for which measures were imposed under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(b).

(e) . The certification in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when Remedies making award. If the Government later determines that the Offeror knowingly submitted a false certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, such as suspension or debarment, the Contracting Officer may terminate any contract resulting from the false certification.

TAX ON CERTAIN FOREIGN PROCUREMENTS-NOTICE AND REPRESENTATION (JUN 2020)

(a) . As used in this provision-Definitions

Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States.

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(5) Any trust if-

(i) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(b) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7).

Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C.

5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

(1) It is is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that-I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 a full exemption, or partial or no exemption [ ] from the excise tax.Offeror must select one

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then-

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the IRS as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts.

Section 00 70 00 - Conditions of the Contract

REQUIRED INSURANCE

a. The contractor shall procure and maintain during the entire period of performance under this contract the following minimum insurance coverage.

(1) Comprehensive General Liability: $500,000 per occurrence.

(2) Automobile Liability: $200,000 per person, $500,000 per occurrence, $20,000 per occurrence for property damage.

(3) Workmen's Compensation: As required by Federal and State of New Jersey workers compensation and occupational disease statutes.

(4) Employer's Liability Coverage: $100,000 except in states where worker's compensation may not be written by private carriers.

(5) Other as required by New Jersey State law.

b. Prior to commencement of work, the contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer a certificate or written statement of the above required insurance. The policies evidencing required insurance shall contain an endorsement to the effect that cancellation or any material change in the policies adversely affecting the interests of the Government in such insurance shall not be effective for such period as may be prescribed by laws of the state in which this contract is to be performed, and in no event less than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the Contracting Officer.

c. The Contractor agrees to insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in all subcontracts hereunder.

Cancellation Language. The cancellation language must state, "in the event of cancellation or any material change in policies adversely affecting the interest of the Government in such insurance, the cancellation or change shall not be effective until 30 days after written notice thereto the contracting Officer." Wording such as "will endeavor to mail notice" or "failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability" does not comply with the contract requirements and therefore are not acceptable.

Umbrella Form. Excess liability under the umbrella form must detail the coverage explicitly.

Since the umbrella is excess liability coverage, the contracting officer must know what the excess coverage consists of. The contractor should provide a breakdown of the umbrella policy. The contractor shall contact the insurance company and request they provide the information on the breakdown.

Auto liability. If a combined single limit (CSL) is provided in lieu of the required breakdown ($200,000 per person, $500,000 per occurrence or $20,000 for occurrence for property damage), be sure the CSL amount is sufficient. For example, a CSL of $500,000 is insufficient since one accident involving three persons and property damage would require $520,000. However, if you have an umbrella policy which includes excess automobile coverage, the insurance would be sufficient.
