(e) JOB SITE AVAILABILITY:

The work site will be available for performance during normal business hours:

Monday through Thursday Business Hours: 7:00 a.m. EST to 3:00 p.m. EST

Friday Business Hours: Every other Friday from 7:00 a.m. EST to 2:00 p.m. EST

Fridays will be staggered with every other Friday being a closed business day. The first Friday of 2024 to be closed is January 12, 2024.

Based on the above, service contractors should call contract/purchase order administrator in advance if service is scheduled for a Friday to determine if the Arsenal will be open for business.

When a federal holiday is normally observed on Friday, the Arsenal may be closed on the preceding Thursday. In this case, contact the contract/purchase order administrator in advance if scheduling service to determine if the Arsenal will be open for business.

Work at other than the above hours won’t be allowed unless the contractor makes an application at least 48 hours in advance and gets written contracting officer approval. No guarantee is made that the job site will be made available other than as stated above.

(f) CONTROL OF FOREIGN VISITORS TO WATERVLIET ARSENAL:

Offerors are advised that any employee or representative of their company who is not a U.S. citizen, (or is representing a foreign company) and is a U.S. citizen), planning on visiting the Watervliet Arsenal for the purpose of attending: bid conferences, bid openings, site visits, engineering services, or any other visit related to this solicitation will be escorted at all times by an arsenal representative while on the installation grounds.

Therefore, offerors must notify the Contracting Officer in advance (a minimum of two [2] weeks) of any proposed visit by a non-U.S. citizen or U.S. citizen representing a foreign firm, to assure proper clearance for entry into the arsenal. Failure to comply, or disclose a foreign national visitor, may subject the Contractor to the penalties set forth in 18 U.S.C.A. Section 1001, Chapter 14.

Due to manpower constraints, Watervliet Arsenal is often unable to provide escort services during contract performance. Therefore, if the resulting contract requires performance on Watervliet Arsenal property, employees, individuals or subcontractors representing the successful offeror who are not U.S. citizens may not, depending on staffing levels and the availability of escorts, be allowed access to the Arsenal for purpose of contract performance.

Be further advised that the inability of the Arsenal to provide escorts resulting in denial of access to Watervliet Arsenal of the aforementioned personnel will not be considered an excusable delay to contract performance as defined in the contract clause “Default” contained in the contract. Therefore, offerors should consider the above contingencies during offer preparation.

(h) CONTRACTOR IDENTIFICATION:

Contractor employees shall identify themselves as contractor personnel by introducing themselves or being introduced as contractor personnel and displaying distinguishing badges or other visible identification for meetings with Government personnel. In addition, contractor personnel shall appropriately identify themselves as contractor employees in telephone conversations and in formal and informal written correspondence, and when working in situations where their actions could be construed as official government acts.

L. __ Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Offerors

a. The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying new solicitation and contract writing software to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software suite will soon replace most existing Army contract writing systems, including the system used to create and release this Solicitation.

b. During this transition period, Offerors are hereby advised:

1. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to create and release documents related to this solicitation (e.g. solicitation amendments and awards, if any). Due to this:

i. This solicitation may contain different offer submission instructions than other solicitations released by the same Contracting Office (e.g. requiring offer submission via the PIEE Solicitation Module vs. e-mail). Offerors should review all offer submission instructions contained in the solicitation documents and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer.

ii. If the Contracting Office switches contract writing systems prior to award, documents you receive from the Contracting Officer or view on SAM.gov or other forums may appear noticeably different than the initial solicitation or previous solicitations or awards from the same Contracting Office. This is normal and expected.

iii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning solicitation response (amendments) or accepted terms (awards) to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. Offerors shall review all documents carefully to locate this important information and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer.

2. The Government does not intend to use the transition between contract writing systems to effect any changes to solicitation or award terms and conditions without accompanying document narratives explicitly stating such changes are deliberate and desired. While the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will take care to minimize or eliminate any inadvertent changes when adapting to the new contract writing software, you, as the Offeror, may still be the first to spot such errors. Therefore, Offerors shall:

i. Notify the Contracting Officer immediately if any observed changes, removals, or additions affect your award eligibility, violate or alter existing quote/proposal terms, or could affect Contract performance post-award.

ii. Take special care to ensure all fill-in Clauses are populated and remain populated across documents received from the Contracting Office throughout the Solicitation and Award process.

iii. Contact the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the solicitation or solicitation amendment for guidance if you notice or suspect any inadvertent change has occurred between document issuances.

3. The Contracting Officer will correct problems affecting award documents (if any) via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor. Any such modification will reconcile the award with the latest version of this solicitation reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the first issuance if no amendments, or the latest amendment with accompanying narratives), inclusive of any documented pre-award negotiations or accepted supplemental offer terms.

4. In the unlikely event a network disruption, contract writing system error, or financial system error threatens timely award of the requirement set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer:

i. May elect to use alternative mechanisms to obligate funds and allow work or deliveries to legally begin to the benefit of, and with legal protection for, both parties.

ii. Will incorporate the latest version of this Solicitation into such mechanisms to serve as a framework for contract execution until any such system problems are resolved.

iii. Will ensure any action taken does not conflict with the stated offer evaluation and award methodology of this requirement.

iv. Will issue a complete, properly-formatted award accurately reflecting this requirement and all applicable terms and conditions once systems return to normal.

A.__ Electronic Contracting Electronic Bids/Proposals/Commercial Offers Required in Response to this Solicitation (June 2020) ACC-WVA

(c) Please select only one medium by which to transmit each bid/proposal.

(d) Timely receipt of offers/proposals:

(1) Your attention is called to the solicitation closing date and time on the solicitation is local time for the Army Contracting Command – Watervliet Arsenal (WVA). Lateness rules for electronic submissions for bids are outlined in FAR 52.214-7, “Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawal of Bids,” for proposals in FAR 52.215-1, “Instructions to Offerors—Competitive Acquisition” or FAR 52.212-1, “Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items.” Pay particular attention to the applicable clause as it relates to the timing of submissions.

(2) NOTE: There is no “expected” or “target” length of time for proposal submission; size and content may be factors, therefore offerors are strongly cautioned to submit their proposals allowing adequate time for submission.

(3) Solicitations may remain posted on the SAM.gov website after the solicitation closes. Even though the system may allow you to submit a proposal after the closing date/time, your proposal will be considered late and may not be considered for award.

(e) Security Note: If you choose to password-protect access to your bid/offer, you must provide the password to Watervliet Arsenal at least ten days prior to the opening/closing date.

(2) All applicable fill-in provisions. For solicitations issued on an SF 33 or SF 1442, this would include Sections A, B, F, and K. For solicitations issued on an SF 1449, you must review the solicitation to ascertain where all of the required fill-ins are located since commercial acquisitions do not have designated sections.

(3) A statement of agreement to all the terms, conditions, and provisions of the solicitation.

(4) Any other information required by the solicitation.

(g) Please see FAR 14.406 for a description of the steps the Government shall take with regard to unreadable electronic bids received via the media described in paragraphs (b) above. See FAR 15.207(c) for a description of steps the government shall take with regard to unreadable proposals.

(h) Bidders/Offerors shall make every effort to ensure that their bid/proposal is virus-free. Bids/proposals (or portions thereof) submitted which DO reflect the presence of a virus, or which are otherwise rendered unreadable by damage in electronic transit, shall be treated as “unreadable” per paragraph (h) above. Use of any formats other than those listed above may result in the file being quarantined and will be considered by Watervliet Arsenal to be “unreadable” files.

Note (Macros): The virus scanning software used by our e-mail systems cannot always distinguish a macro from a virus. Therefore, sending a macro embedded in an email message or an email attachment may cause the email bid/offer to be quarantined. In that event paragraph (g) above applies.
