Section 00 21 13 - Instructions to Bidders

BID OPENING

Bidders are advised there will NOT be a physical bid opening held for this invitation for bids. The bid opening will be held telephonically via conference call at 2:00 pm on the date bids are due. Due to the requirement that bids be submitted electronically only, the bid opening is scheduled to take place one hour following the bid due date and time in order to allow the contracting office time to download all bid documents submitted. The USACE Walla Walla District will not accept any hard copy documentation submitted in response to this invitation for bids.

Bidders wishing to participate in the telephonic bid opening shall email a list of participants to both Contracting Officer (cynthia.h.jacobsen@usace.

army.mil) and Contract Specialist (preston.e.jones@usace.army.mil) no later than the close of business 24 hours prior to the bid due date and time.

Please reference "IFB Number and Title" in the email subject line. A responsive email will be sent to the bidder which will include confirmation of the list of participants, the conference call-in telephone number, and the security passcode for participants to utilize for the telephonic bid opening.

ELECTRONIC BID SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Bidders shall submit their bids via email to the following individuals by no later than the date and time established in Block 13 of the Standard Form (SF) 1442, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable:

Cynthia Jacobsen, Contracting Officer cynthia.h.jacobsen@usace.army.mil

Preston Jones, Contract Specialist preston.e.jones@usace.army.mil

Bids received after the date and time stated within Block 13 of the SF1442, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable, will be considered late and will not be considered for award. To avoid rejection of a bid, the offeror must make every effort to ensure its electronic submission is virus-free. Bids, or portions thereof, submitted with the presence of a virus or which are otherwise unreadable will be treated as unreadable pursuant to FAR 15.207(c).

Bidders should enter a description for every file submitted. For files over 20 megabytes (MB) the bidders shall break the file into smaller files sent via separate emails with each email marked to identify which number the email is relative to the total number of emails submitted (i.e. "email one of four"). Once all of the emails submitted have been received the Government will confirm receipt via responsive email. If a bidder submits multiple bids the Government will only consider the last bid submitted prior to the bid due date and time.

Do not assume submission will be instantaneous. File size and number of files submitted shall be considered. Bidder/Teammate/Subcontractors should allow adequate time for submission completion because the entire bid (i.e. bidders' submission and all teammate/subcontractor(s) independent submissions) must be received by the bid due date and time specified in Block 13 of SF 1442, or SF 30 as applicable.

Electronic submission of bids satisfies the requirement set forth in Block 13A of the SF 1442 ('...in original and ___ copies..."). Additionally, electronic submission of the bid guarantee, when a bid guarantee is required, is due with the bid submission. Mailing a bid guarantee for submission is not allowed.

ARITHMETIC DISCREPENCIES

(a) The following will be used in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the bidding schedule as submitted by the bidder:

(1) In a discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price stated on the bid schedule will govern;

(2) Apparent errors in the extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(3) Apparent errors in the addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

(b) For the purpose of bid evaluation, the government will proceed on the assumption that the bidder intends his bid to be evaluated on the basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the bid will be so reflected on the abstract of bids.

(c) These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which bid is low.
