CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY:

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 its 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 all only the low bidders. After Bid Opening, the Government will request this information from the low bidder if the low bidder has not performed 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 responsible the prospective awardee 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 awardee shall not be determined responsible or non-responsible solely on the basis of a lack of relevant performance history except when special standards are set forth in the solicitation which apply to all bidders. 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 such a contract, the prospective awardee must demonstrate its ability to meet the special standards. A prospective awardee that is, or recently has been seriously deficient in contract performance shall be presumed to be non-responsible unless the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances were beyond the contractor's control or that the contractor took appropriate corrective action. Other responsibility considerations by the Contracting Officer will include past efforts by the prospective awardee to apply sufficient tenacity and perseverance to perform previous contracts acceptably, to meet quality requirements of previous contracts, and comply with subcontracting plans (if required) under recent contracts.

d. Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

e. Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective awardee and its subcontractors).

f. Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

g. Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

If the prospective awardee or its primary subcontractor(s) do not already have sufficient resources demonstrated in the completed Preaward Survey, acceptable evidence of "the ability to obtain" the required, adequate resources (all of the resources discussed in subparagraphs a, e, and f above) normally consists of a commitment or explicit arrangement that the prospective awardee will have in place by the time of contract award to rent, purchase or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, other resources, or personnel, and adequate evidence of which the prospective awardee shall provide to the Government in time to evaluate prior to the scheduled date of award.
