00100-2 AMENDMENTS PRIOR TO DATE SET FOR OPENING BIDS

The right is reserved as the interest of the Government may require, to revise or amend the specifications or drawings or both prior to the date set for opening bids. Such revisions and amendments, if any, will be announced by an amendment or amendments to this Invitation for Bid. If the revisions and amendments are of a nature which require material changes in the quantities or prices bid or both, the date set for opening bids may be postponed by such number of days as in the opinion of the Issuing Office will enable bidders to revise their bids. In such cases, the amendment will include an announcement of the new date for opening bids.

00100-3 POSTPONEMENT OF BID OPENINGS

a. Bid openings may be postponed up to or even after the time scheduled for bid opening under the following circumstances:

(1) when the Contracting Officer has reason to believe that the bids of an important segment of bidders have been delayed in the mails for causes beyond their control and without their fault or negligence (such as, but not limited to, flood, fire, accident, weather conditions or strikes); or

(2) when emergency or unanticipated events interrupt normal Government processes so that the conduct of bid openings as scheduled is impracticable.

b. At the time a determination is made to postpone a bid opening under a(1) above, an announcement of the determination shall be publicly posted and, if practicable before issuance of formal amendment of the invitation, otherwise communicated to prospective bidders likely to attend the scheduled bid opening.

c. In the case of a(ii) above, when urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for opening of bids will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. In such case, the time of actual bid opening shall be deemed to be the time set for bid opening for the purpose of determining "late bids" under FAR 14.304.

00100-4 BID BOND REQUIREMENTS

Each offeror shall submit with his bid, a Bid Bond (Standard Form 24, Revision Date 08/2016, available at https://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/download/115982 ) with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government in the penal sum of twenty percent (20%) of the proposed price or $3,000,000.00 whichever is lesser. In order to be considered an acceptable surety, a corporate surety must appear on the list contained in the Department of Treasury Circular 570, "Companies Holding

Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and Acceptable Reinsuring Companies". The bid bond penalty may be expressed in terms of a percentage of the proposed price or may be expressed in dollars and cents. A valid Power of Attorney for an individual acting as agent for surety shall accompany the bond.

FAILURE TO FURNISH A BID BOND OR A VALID POWER OF ATTORNEY, AS SPECIFIED, WITH BID

MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF BID FOR NON-COMPLIANCE.

00100-5 CERTIFIED OR CASHIER’S CHECKS, BANK DRAFTS, MONEY ORDERS, OR CURRENCY
