ATTENTION TO OFFERORS:

1. CONTRACTING SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

YOUR ATTENTION IS DIRECTED TO THE SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS

CONTRACT LOCATED IN SECTION 00800, SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS.

2. FACTS ABOUT THE USE OF INDIVIDUAL SURETIES

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) permits the use of individual sureties for bid, payment and performance bonds. However, the conditions that must be met are strict, and they may not be waived. Further, the FAR imposes limits with respect to the type of property interest individual sureties may utilize.

Individual sureties have been occasionally and successfully used in accordance with FAR requirements within the Sacramento District, when real property interests have not been provided as the security interest. On at least one occasion, an individual surety was made acceptable when an individual personally known to a bidder provided a business property for the security interest, and legal counsel was engaged to navigate and implement the FAR requirements.

Bidders or proposers considering utilizing individuals or firms providing “brokerage” or “insurance” services to obtain bonds from individual sureties are advised to carefully research their backgrounds. The Government is not responsible for and will not reimburse any bidder for advance payments made to such firms in the event that the bonds are unacceptable to the contracting officer.

The Sacramento District strictly follows the FAR 28.203 “Acceptability of individual sureties.” Frequently, an individual surety’s bid bond raises questions about the real property security interest being offered. Also, individual sureties may use “altered” Standard Form 28 affidavits, which are unacceptable. Documentation containing such flaws will result in rejection of the bonds, and, if it is a bid bond, rejection of the bid.

Some “brokers” apparently represent that “their bonds” are accepted by federal government entities. Yet, be aware that not all federal agencies implement the FAR in a uniform manner. Insufficiencies that go unnoticed by one agency may be perceived as fatal by another. The risk of such results rests with the bidder offering the bid bond.

Know your broker, and ensure that all bonding documents comply with FAR requirements before you submit them. It is important to remember that the contracting officer is vested with a wide degree of discretion and business judgment in determining the acceptability of an individual surety, and the Comptroller General has stated that he will not question such a determination so long as it is reasonable.

So, please make certain that if you intend to use an individual surety you are familiar with the regulations and specific requirements that apply to this form of bonding.

Oral explanations or instructions given before the award of a contract will not be binding. Any information given a prospective bidder concerning a solicitation will be furnished promptly to all other prospective bidders as an amendment to the solicitation, if that information is necessary in submitting bids or if the lack of it would be prejudicial to other prospective bidders.

52.214-7 LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS OF BIDS (NOV 1999)

(a) Bidders are responsible for submitting bids, and any modifications or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the invitation for bids (IFB) by the time specified in the IFB. If no time is specified in the IFB, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that bids are due.

(b)(1) Any bid, modification, or withdrawal received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of bids is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late bid would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(i) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the IFB, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of bids; or

(ii) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of bids and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of bids.

(2) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful bid that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(c) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the bid wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(d) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that bids cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of bids by the exact time specified in the IFB and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the IFB, the time specified for receipt 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.

(e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids. If the IFB authorizes facsimile bids, bids may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.214-31, Facsimile Bids. A bid may be withdrawn in person by a bidder or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of bids, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the bid.

(1) Lump sum bidding;

(2) Alternate prices;

(3) Units of construction; or

(4) Any combination of subparagraphs (1) through (3) above.

(c) If the solicitation requires bidding on all items, failure to do so will disqualify the bid. If bidding on all items is not required, bidders should insert the words "no bid" in the space provided for any item on which no price is submitted.

(d) Alternate bids will not be considered unless this solicitation authorizes their submission.

52.214-19 CONTRACT AWARD--SEALED BIDDING--CONSTRUCTION (AUG 1996)

(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 reject any or all bids, and waive informalities or minor irregularities in bids received.

(c) The Government may accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded by a restrictive limitation in the solicitation or the bid.

(d) The Government may reject a bid as nonresponsive if the prices bid are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work, 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 evaluated bid, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment.

52.0209-4501 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY (MAR 2002)

In order to determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR Part 9, the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and/or plant to be used in performing the work (see Attachments, Preaward Survey). The Preaward Survey is attached to the solicitation for information purposes only.

It will be required from only the low bidder. After the Bid Opening, the Government will request this information from the low bidder if the low bidder has not had a contract with the Sacramento District within the last twelve months and the Government will set a due date for its submission. The Preaward Survey is not required as part of the bid package.

In order to be determined to be responsible a prospective contractor must:

a. Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

b. Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments.

c. Have a satisfactory performance record. In making the determination of responsibility, the Government Contracting Officer shall consider relevant past performance information. A prospective contractor shall not be determined responsible or nonresponsible solely on the basis of a lack of relevant performance history except when there are special standards set forth in the solicitation which applies to all bidders that must be met in order to receive the award. These special standards may be necessary when unusual expertise or specialized facilities are necessary in the performance of the contract; therefore, in order to be determined to be responsible for

00100-9

Section 00100 - Bidding Schedule/Instructions to Bidders that particular contract, the offeror must be able to meet those special standards. A prospective contractor that is or recently has been seriously deficient in contract performance shall be presumed to be nonresponsible unless the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances were beyond the contractor's control or that the contractor has taken appropriate corrective action.
