1.2 NOTES

NOTE 1: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items, which require unit prices. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required items, but does furnish an extended total or an estimated amount for such items, the Government will deem his unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended estimated amount for that line item by the quantity. IF THE

BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY

ITEM, HIS BID WILL BE DECLARED NONRESPONSIVE.

In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid. If the bidder shows only the total price but fails to enter a unit price, the total divided by the estimated quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

Any bid price for items indicated above which are unbalanced as to price may be rejected as non-responsive. An unbalanced bid is one which is based on price significantly less than cost for some work and price which is significantly overstated for other work.

Award will be made as a whole to one bidder.

AC = Acre CF = Cubic Feet CY = Cubic Yard DH = Miles EA = Each FC = 1000 Cubic Feet FT = Foot HF = 100 Feet HH = 100 Cubic Feet HL = 100 Linear Feet HR = Hours HS = 100 Square Feet HY = 100 Yards LB = Pound LF = Linear Foot LH = Labor Hour JA = Job (lump sum) LY = Linear Yard MO = Months SB = Square Mile SF = Square Foot SQ = Square SY = Square Yard TL = 1000 Linear Feet TN = Net Ton UN = Unit YD = Yard YL = 100 Linear Yards YM = Cubic Yards Per Mile

All quantities are estimated except where unit is given as "JA" or "EA".

NOTE 2: If a bid or modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted and provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price, including lump sum units, in bid schedule must be stated, or, if it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

NOTE 3: Bidders are cautioned to read Contract Clause entitled "DFAR 252.204-7004, Alternate A, System for Award Management (FEB 2014) located in Section 00 70 00.00 11 CONTRACT CLAUSES.

Government office designated in the invitation for bids (IFB) by the time specified in the IFB. If no time is specified in the IFB, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that bids are due.

(b)(1) Any bid, modification, or withdrawal received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of bids is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the

Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late bid would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(i) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the IFB, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of bids; or

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

Government requirements preclude amendment of the IFB, the time specified for receipt of bids will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first workday on which normal Government processes resume.

(e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids. If the

IFB authorizes facsimile bids, bids may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.214-31, Facsimile Bids.

52.214-19 CONTRACT AWARD--SEALED BIDDING--CONSTRUCTION (AUG 1996)

(c) The Government may accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded by a restrictive limitation in the solicitation or the bid.

(d) The Government may reject a bid as nonresponsive if the prices bid are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work, and if there is a reasonable doubt that the bid will result in the lowest overall cost to the Government even though it may be the low evaluated bid, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment.
