Solicitation No. W91238-19-B-0021 Department of the Army U.S. Army Engineer District, Sacramento ATTN: Contracting Division 1325 J Street Sacramento CA 95814-2922

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO HAND-CARRIED BIDS:

Hand-carried bids must be delivered to: The Building Lobby at 1325 J Street, Sacramento, CA.

Due to security precautions, all Corps of Engineers visitors are now required to sign-in, leave a Photo-ID (such as a driver’s license), and get a Visitor’s Pass at the Security Desk in the Building Lobby. Bidders may no longer hand-carry their bids directly to Contracting Division. Bids may NOT be either turned-in at the Security Desk or left unattended elsewhere in the Lobby. Additionally, you are advised that there is no public parking in the Building.

The Bid Opening Officer will be in the Building Lobby 20 minutes prior to the scheduled bid opening time to accept sealed bids. At the scheduled bid opening time the Bid Opening Officer will announce that no further bids will be received, and will escort the bidders waiting in the Building Lobby as a group to the Bid Opening Room, where the bids will be publicly opened and read.

Bidders who desire to hand-deliver their bids at an earlier time must coordinate with the contract specialist in advance to arrange to be met in the Building Lobby by Contracting Division personnel. In the event the contract specialist cannot be reached, please call the main Contracting Division telephone number, (916) 557-5201, in order to request assistance. Please ensure that all courier and delivery personnel are aware of these procedures.

BASIS FOR AWARD:

The Government contemplates award of one contract to the responsive, responsible bidder who submits the low bid for the total of the following items in the Bid Schedule:

a. All line items listed in Bid Schedule

b. A responsibility determination will be made in accordance with policies and procedures listed in FAR Part 9 to include review of Contractors previous work to ensure it meets the requirements listed in the Special Standards of Responsibility

FACSIMILE BIDS/OFFERS:

Facsimile bids/offers, modifications thereto, or cancellations of bids/offers will not be accepted. Electronic bids will not be accepted.

PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS:

The bidder/offeror whose bid/offer is accepted will, within the time established in the contract, furnish performance and payment bonds in accordance with FAR 52.228-15.

INDIVIDUAL SURETIES IN SUPPORT OF BID BONDS:

Bidders/offerors utilizing individual sureties in support of a bid bond shall include a Standard Form (SF) 28 (Affidavit of Individual Surety), accompanied by a pledge of acceptable assets from each person acting as an individual surety, and include these with the SF 24 (Bid Bond), and the bid itself (see clause titled "Pledges of Assets," FAR 52.228-11).

Pledges of acceptable assets shall be in the form of (1) evidence of an escrow account and/or (2) a recorded lien on real estate. If this is an IFB, failure to provide pledges of acceptable assets, with the bid, in the specified form, accompanied by a properly executed SF 24 and SF 28, will render the bidder nonresponsible and thus ineligible for award. If this is an RFP, failure to provide required documentation described herein may cause the offeror to be deemed "unacceptable".

BID GUARANTEE FORM AND AMOUNT:

The bidder shall furnish a separate bid guarantee in accordance with the solicitation provision titled "Bid Guarantee", FAR 52.228-1. In accordance with FAR 28.101-2 the bid guarantee amount shall be at least 20 percent of the "bid price" but shall not exceed $3 million. When the penal sum is expressed as a percentage, a maximum dollar limitation may be stated. FAR 28.106-1 states that a Standard Form (SF) 24 shall be used for the bid bond. In accordance with FAR 28.202(a)(1), corporate sureties utilized must appear on the list contained in the Department of Treasury Circular 570 titled "Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and Acceptable Reinsuring Companies."

ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS:

A written award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS- DETAILED SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

a. Submit the original hard-copy and one (1) complete copy of the bid on Compact Disk (CD) using a searchable “PDF” file format.

Do not round off the extended prices to the nearest dollar. Check your pricing submission very carefully for mathematical and clerical errors prior to submission.

Your completed Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Bidders/Offerors.

Tab 6: Pre-Award Survey Information

a. The contracting officer is required to make an affirmative pre-award determination of the prospective contractor’s responsibility in accordance with the mandatory requirements of Part 9 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its supplements. The contracting officer must have sufficient information available to determine that a prospective contractor meets these minimum standards.

(1) Construction Contractor Data Form with Supplemental Schedules A-C (see format which follows). If the bidder is a large multi-segmented business concerns, the data provided on the supplemental schedules may be limited to information that directly pertains to the specific segment of the business concern (i.e., the division, group, unit, etc.) proposed to perform work under the prospective contract with its own work force. If the bid is being submitted by a Joint Venture, submit a separate form for each Joint Venture participant. The bidder may submit pre-award survey information in another format, provided that the information furnished is substantially the same as that which would be furnished on the Construction Contractor Data Form and its supplemental schedules.

(2) Current financial statements. If the financial statement is more than 60 days old, submit a certificate stating that the firm's financial condition is substantially the same, or, if not the same, state the changes that have taken place. If a Joint Venture, provide this information for each participant in the Joint Venture.

(3) Banking information. Provide letters from banks or other financial institutions with which the contractor conducts business. The letters should contain information about your firm's accounts, loans, lines of credit, etc. The Government is interested in financial stability, timely payments, the length and nature of the relationship between the firm and the financial institution, and the firm's financial ability to perform the contract. The letters should also provide the name and telephone number of the bank representative the Government may contact. If a Joint Venture, provide this information for each Joint Venture participant.

b. The Government will treat the pre-award survey information submitted by the bidder as proprietary.

Tab 8: Small Business Participation Proposal/Subcontracting Plan:

Small Business Subcontracting Plan is required (FAR 52.219-9 (Deviation 2018-O0018)).

Other than U.S. Small Business Offerors must also submit a subcontracting plan with the bid meeting the requirements of FAR 52.219-9 ALT 1 and DFARS 252.219-7003 (or DFARS 252.219-7004). Other than U.S. Small Businesses must submit acceptable subcontracting plans to be eligible for award.

FAR 19.702 provides: Any contractor receiving a contract with a value greater than the simplified acquisition threshold must agree in the contract that small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance. It is further the policy of the United States that its prime contractors establish procedures to ensure the timely payment of amounts due pursuant to the terms of their subcontracts with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns.

FAR 19.702(a)(2) provides: In sealed bidding acquisitions, each invitation for bids to perform a contract that is expected to exceed $700,000 ($1.5 million for construction) and that has subcontracting possibilities, shall require the bidder selected for award to submit a subcontracting plan. If the selected bidder fails to submit a plan within the time limit prescribed by the contracting officer, the bidder will be ineligible for award.

As such, the apparent low bidder, as identified at the bid opening (See SF1442 Block 13.A. for date and time), shall provide a subcontracting plan within three calendar days from the bid opening.

Regarding evaluation of subcontracting plans, see FAR 17.705-4(b). Each bidder's plan must cover each of the 15 required elements (see 19.704). If the bidder does not submit a plan that incorporates the required elements within the time allotted, the bidder shall be ineligible for award. If the plan, although responsive, evidences the bidder’s intention not to comply with its obligations under the clause at 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns, the contracting officer may find the bidder non-responsible.

Questions on the Subcontracting Plan requirements or the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) requirements as required by FAR 52.219-9, shall be submitted via Bidder Inquiry in ProjNet at https://www.projnet.org/projnet.

The Corps of Engineers highly encourages all bidders/offerors to meet the recommended subcontracting goals as follows:

Small Businesses: 23%

The recommended breakdown to support the various small business subcategories is as follows:

Small Disadvantaged Businesses: 6%

Women-Owned Small Businesses: 3% HUBZone Small Business: 4% Veteran-Owned Small Business: 8% Service Disabled Veteran Owned: 2%

The goals are calculated as a percentage of the TOTAL SUBCONTRACTING DOLLARS, NOT THE TOTAL

CONTRACT AMOUNT.
