1.19 FAR PROVISION 52.229-11 AND FAR CLAUSE 52.229-12: FAR provision 52.229-11 and FAR clause 52.229-12 are included in this solicitation. This provision and clause concern the imposition of a 2 percent Federal excise tax withholding on any resultant contract award or payment request. This rule applies to Federal Government contracts for goods or services that are awarded to foreign persons. It implements the Department of the Treasury final regulations published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 55133 on August 18, 2016, under section 5000C of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the 2 percent tax on payments made by the U.S. Government to foreign entities pursuant to certain contracts.

Exemptions from this excise tax must be claimed by an Offeror when it submits, with its offer, a U.S. Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign www.irs.gov/w14. If not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent on each payment. Failure to submit IRS Form W-14 with a payment request will also result in an automatic withholding of 2 percent from the payment request.

When filling out the IRS Form W-14 the following information may be used to complete Part I, Line 6 and 7:

Line 6 Contract / reference number: N4008425B7007

Line 7 Name and address of the acquiring agency: NAVFAC FE, PWD Misawa

City or town, state or province. Include postal code where appropriate: : Bldg. 987, Misawa Air Base, 1-chome, Hirahata, Misawa-shi, Aomori-ken, Japan 033-0012

Country (do not abbreviate): Japan

Any exemption claimed and self-certified is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes concerning this tax are adjudicated by the IRS because the Section 5000C tax is a tax matter not a contract issue.

Offerors are encouraged to seek guidance from their own tax, legal, or accounting professionals for advice concerning the provision, clause, and the execution/submission of IRS Form W-14. Additional information is also available at:

https://www.navfac.navy.mil/navfac_worldwide/pacific/fecs/far_east/about_us/contractors_information.html

1.20 CANCELLATION OF SOLICITATION: The Government reserves the right to cancel all invitations and/or reject all bids before award if the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) later determines it to be necessary. The procedures in FAR 14.404 shall be followed. In addition, if the PCO determines that an invitation for bids should be canceled and that use of negotiations is in the Government's best interest, the PCO may negotiate and make award without issuing a new solicitation provided the provisions set forth at FAR 14.404-1(f) are met.

1.21 PRE-AWARD SURVEY: FAR 9.104 requires prospective contractors to demonstrate, among other things, that they have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or ability to obtain them, capability to comply with the required performance schedule, a satisfactory performance record, and be otherwise eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations. The pre-award survey is not a part of the technical evaluation.

The Government may make a pre-award survey of an offeror to determine whether such offeror is qualified and capable of performing the contract.

The pre-award survey will involve examination of the bidder's financial and technical status and understanding of the contract requirements.

The followings are examples of the information that, upon request, the offeror shall be required to provide in writing to the pre-award survey team.

Requested information shall be forwarded within three days of request. Failure to provide requested information, or a determination, after review of the information, of the offeror's non- responsibility, may result in rejection.

a. Identification of the Contractor's personnel and management to be used on this contract.

b. The Contractor's technical and management plans for performing required services.

c. Description of Contractor's facilities and equipment.

d. Summary of the Contractor's experience in performing work of the type required by this specification.

e. Current financial statements and data.

f. Other work presently under contract.

g. Prior contracts for similar work, and the names and addresses of individuals with the organization issuing the contract who may be contacted for information concerning the Contractor's performance.

h. Contractor Quality Control plan for this contract.

1.22 MAGNITUDE: The magnitude is In accordance with FAR 36.204, for construction contracts, we between JPY25,000,000 to JPY50,000,000.

are obligated to state the magnitude of a project using specific price ranges, both in terms of its physical characteristics and estimated price range.

However, it's crucial to understand that these price ranges are broad categories and selecting one does not imply that our budget is at the higher end of that range. The intent is to give a general sense of the project's scale without revealing the Government's precise estimate. For instance, if we categorize a project as being "Between JPY2,500,000 and JPY10,000,000," it doesn't mean our budget is close to JPY10,000,000. It simply means the estimated cost falls within that bracket.
