2. Contractor Notes:

2.1 Estimated Quantities: All Sub Line Items in the pricing schedule are estimated-quantity Line Items. The quantities are estimated amounts and are not guaranteed amounts. The contractor shall only be paid for work actually directed and performed. At no time shall the contractor exceed the estimated quantity on any estimated quantity Sub Line Item. The contractor shall establish a tracking system of actual quantities against the contract’s estimated quantities for each estimated quantity Sub Line Item and shall maintain the tracking system up to date throughout the life of the contract. When the actual quantity of any Line Item reaches 75% of the estimated quantity on any estimated quantity Line Item, the contractor shall notify the Government’s Contracting Officer and the

Contract Administration POC in writing within two (2) calendar days. Once the Government is notified that the actual quantity has reached 75% of the estimated quantity on any Line Item and if the Government determines that the estimated quantity needs to be increased, the contractor shall receive an official modification to the contract action signed by the Contracting Officer increasing the quantity and the amount obligated on the contract BEFORE the contractor shall proceed to work over the existing estimated quantity. The modification shall set the new estimated quantity that the contractor shall not exceed without another modification. Every invoice shall be accompanied by a full accounting of each Line Item being billed, the actual quantity being billed and supporting documentation to support the actual quantities.

2.2 Quality assurance testing of the materials shall be performed throughout the construction period to assure the quality of the Contractor's quality control testing program.

2.3 The laboratory shall follow the procedures provided in each of the respective ASTM test methods listed in the pricing. An on-site trailer will not be needed. However, suitable storage will be needed to ensure that the applicable

ASTM temporary sample storage requirements will be met.

2.4 In most instances the Government will not provide samples directly to the lab; the laboratory will perform its own sampling on site.

2.5 The laboratory facilities shall be located within a two (2) hour drive of the project site.

2.6 The testing laboratory performing quality control testing for the Contractor, for a specific project, may not concurrently perform quality assurance testing under this contract for the same project.

2.7 The laboratory shall meet the safety requirements stated in Corps of Engineers EM 385-1-1, which can be accessed by copying and pasting the following site into a web browser:

http://www.usace.army.mil/SafetyandOccupationalHealth/SafetyandHealthRequirementsManual.aspx

2.8 All access shall be coordinated through the US Army Corps of Engineers Valley Resident Office, before work can begin. Danielle Meaux (916-373-1617 x318) or Jennifer Wheelis (916-373-1617 x320), US Army

Corps of Engineers, at the Valley Resident Office, or via email Danielle.A.Meaux@usace.army.mil, to coordinate access to the site. The Lab testing personnel are required to check in with the appropriate on-site

Government Corps Representative every time they arrive on site. The Lab Representative shall also make contact with one of the above Corps representatives before leaving the site. At this time, the Lab

Representative shall provide a report outlining the tests performed or samples taken as well as document Lab

Representative's departure time from the site as well as any specifically directed standby time.

2.9 The prices shall include all test report review and report costs. The offeror’s or vendor’s pricing shall include with each test item all costs associated with performing the tests including all vehicle costs, incidental lab equipment such as slump cones, density meters, etc. and sampling required to perform a test (i.e. ASTM C172 for ASTM C31, ASTM D75, ASTM D140, ASTM D979, ASTM D5361, etc.). Incidental testing required by a test method such as

ASTM C143 (Slump), ASTM C173/C231 (Air Content) and ASTM 1064 (Temperature) to perform ASTM C31

(Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field) shall be included in the offeror’s or vendor’s pricing to perform the test. The offeror’s or vendor’s pricing shall include all direct costs as well as indirect costs such as overhead, profit, bond, and workers compensation insurance. It should be noted that stand-by time will be paid only when specifically directed by the Government to compensate unanticipated delays that are outside the control of the laboratory (offeror or vendor). Therefore it should also be noted that unit-cost of each test item shall not include any travel or stand-by time.

2.10 Test reports shall be completed according to the Construction Control Manual, which will be provided upon request. If a necessary form is not included in the Construction Control Manual, refer to the applicable ASTM reporting requirements except when specified otherwise in the project specifications.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive nor negative.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2017)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the

Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, 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 offers; or

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

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

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

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers 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.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(k) System for Award Management. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation.
