2. RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINATION WITH DEFINITIVE RESPONSIBILITY CRITERIA

2.1 Summary: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Norfolk District intends to issue a solicitation for a full and open, unrestricted competitive, firm-fixed-price, Invitation for Bid (IFB) with Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC). This action will utilize FAR Part 14, Sealed Bidding Procedures.

2.2. Definitive Responsibility Criteria: This requirement will utilize Definitive Responsibility Criteria in addition to examining the responsibility criteria detailed in FAR 9.104-1, Contractor Qualifications, General Standards. The Government will also examine the apparent low bidder’s submitted narrative information to determine if all the Definitive Responsibility Criteria have been met.

Definitive Responsibility Criteria are specific and objective standards established by an agency as a pre-condition to an award. DRC is designed to measure a prospective contractor’s ability to perform the contract. In order to be found responsible, the apparent low bidder must demonstrate their past experience in the below listed DRC. The DRC must be provided in the form of a written detailed narrative, with a page limitation that shall not exceed three

(3) pages for each listed DRC.

The written narrative for each DRC listed below must demonstrate a bidder’s successful completion of at least one

(1) year total project experience within the past five (5) years of the date of this solicitation for each of the definitive responsibility criteria listed. The bidder shall provide the contract number for each project provided as experience, the period of performance of the contract, and a brief description of the work performed under the contract. Bidders may use one or more projects to demonstrate past experience.

If a subcontractor was used to complete a work component of a bidder’s project experience, bidders shall provide that subcontractor’s past project experience associated with the applicable DRC. The bidder shall provide the contract number for each project provided as experience, the period of performance of the contract, and a brief description of the work performed under the contract.

The Definitive Responsibility Criteria is provided as follows:

Criteria No. 1: Beach Nourishment work. Bidders shall provide project experience comparable (in size and scope) and consistent with the scope of work described in the attached drawings and specification sections contained in Division 35 – Waterway and Marine Construction, included as part of this solicitation.

Criteria No. 2: Dredging. Bidders shall provide project experience comparable (in size and scope) and consistent with the scope of work described in the attached drawings and specification sections contained in Division 35 – Waterway and Marine Construction, included as part of this solicitation.

Should the apparent low bidder fail to submit sufficient documentation to support a definitive responsibility determination or does not meet all of the listed definitive responsibility criteria, the Contracting Officer is authorized to make a negative responsibility determination, and the apparent low bidder may be determined ineligible for the award of the resultant contract.

3. RESPONSIVENESS OF BIDS (FAR 14.301)

a. To be considered for award, a bid must comply in all material respects with the invitation for bids.

Such compliance enables bidders to stand on an equal footing and maintain the integrity of the sealed bidding system.

b. Facsimile and emailed bids shall not be considered unless permitted by the solicitation.

c. Bids should be filled out, executed, and submitted in accordance with the instructions in the invitation.

If a bidder uses its own bid form or a letter to submit a bid, the bid may be considered only if --

i. The bidder accepts all the terms and conditions of the invitation; and

ii. Award on the bid would result in a binding contract with terms and conditions that do not vary from the terms and conditions of the invitation

4. BID EVALUATION AND AWARD EVALUATIONS

a. The Government will evaluate bids in response to this solicitation without discussions and will award a contract to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government considering only price and the price-related factors specified elsewhere in the solicitation.

b. The Government may –

i. Reject any or all bids;

ii. Accept other than the lowest bid; and

Failure to submit with the offer satisfactory evidence of the authority of all other persons may be cause for rejection of the offer as invalid or nonresponsive.

8. DREDGING AND DREDG RELATED MARINE WORK

The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of EM 385-1-1. If the Contractor is a currently accepted participant in the Dredging Contractors of America (DCA)/United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Dredging Safety Management Program (DSMP), as determined by the DCA/USACE Joint Committee, and holds a current valid Certificate of Compliance for both the Contractor Program and the Dredge(s) to be used to perform the work under this contract, the Contractor may, in lieu of the submission of an Accident Prevention Plan (APP),

12. UNAUTHORIZED INSTRUCTIONS FROM GOVERNMENT OR OTHER PERSONNEL

The contractor shall not accept instructions issued by any person, employed by the U.S. Government or otherwise, other than the Contracting Officer or the Authorized Representative of the Contracting Officer acting within the Designation of Authority letter. A copy of the Designation of Authority letter will be furnished to the contractor at time of contract award.

13. TOTAL EVALUATED BID PRICE

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price of the base contract line items (CLINs) plus the optional contract line items (CLINs) for total evaluated bid price. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the optional CLINs. Optional CLINs, if exercised, will be awarded in accordance with clause 52.217-7."
