The place of performance will be Sierra Army Depot, Herlong, CA. The requirements for this activity are described in Attachment 1 – Statement of Work (SOW) and Attachment 2 – Supplemental Contract Requirements.

2. USACE encourages your organization’s participation and interest in this contract by submitting an Acknowledgment Statement (Attachment 4), Technical Proposal and a Price Proposal. The applicable Davis Bacon Wage Determination is enclosed as Attachment 3. Evaluation by the Government will result in selection of a firm whose proposal is determined to be in the best interest to the Government using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) standard. Offerors’ prices shall be valid for a minimum of 90 days after the date the proposals are due. Evaluation by the Government will result in selection of a firm whose proposal is determined to offer the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) to the Government in accordance with FAR part 15.101-2. Thus, if the evaluation of the lowest price offer deems that offer technically acceptable then the other offers may not be evaluated for technical acceptability. Offerors are to bid on all Contract Line Items Number(s) (CLINs), including the Option CLINs. Partial bids will be deemed unacceptable.

3. The Technical Proposal shall include proposed: a) Technical Approach Narrative; b) Network Analysis Schedule; and c) Past Performance. See Section 00 22 00 Supplementary Instructions of the SF1442.

5. Price to the Government will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation. The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It will also be analyzed to determine whether it reflects a clear understanding of the requirements; and is consistent with the offerors’ Technical Proposal. Additionally, all proposals may be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.
