NOTES TO BIDDERS:

NOTE 1: Bidders must bid on all items. Failure to bid on all work will be cause for rejection of the bid as nonresponsive.

NOTE 3: The unit price for CLINS 0002, 0003, and 0004 represents the cost per cubic yard for the removal of the estimated quantities of dredged material plus the respective allowable over-depth of 2 feet.

NOTE 4: All bidders are hereby advised that the estimated dredge quantities for placement in the price schedule are estimated and based on the survey data collected on 30 December, 01-17 December 2025.

NOTE 5: The Government may reject a bid as non-responsive if the prices bid are materially unbalanced between line items 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 bid.

NOTE 6: Bidders are reminded that they must bid on the issued plans and specifications as amended. Any deviations, conditions or attachments made by the bidder himself may render the proposal non-responsive and may be cause for its rejection.

NOTE 7: All bidders are hereby advised that the contractor is to complete the entire basic work ready for use, not later than fifty-four (54) calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the Notice to Proceed. Should there be any increase of dredging material, the government will allot additional time based on the dredge production rate of 8,000 CY per day.

2026-02

Violation of Arms Control Treaties or Agreements-Certification (Feb 2026) (Deviation)

(a) This provision does not apply to acquisitions at or below the simplified acquisition threshold or to acquisitions of commercial products and commercial services as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation 2.101.

(b) Certification. [Offeror shall check either (1) or (2).]

[ ] (1) The Offeror certifies that-

(i) It does not engage and has not 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 report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; and

(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 report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; or

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

(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.
