(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(e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids. If the IFB authorizes facsimile bids, bids may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.214-31, Facsimile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.

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

(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.

(3) If the Government determines that a particular exception requested in accordance with paragraph (c) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 does not apply, the Government will evaluate only those offers based on use of the equivalent domestic construction material, and the offeror shall be required to furnish such domestic construction material. An offer based on use of the foreign construction material for which an exception was requested--

(ii) May be accepted if revised during negotiations.

1.4 RECYCLED CONTENT

Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of LEED credit achievement calculation. Recycled content is the sum of postconsumer recycled content plus one-half the preconsumer recycled content, based on weight. The recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycled content value. See Section 01 33 29 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING for additional raw material sourcing criteria. (% Preconsumer * 50%) + (% Postconsumer * 100%) * Cost of Material

For LEED credit achievement calculation, products sourced (extracted, manufactured and purchased) within 100 miles of the project site are valued at twice their base contributing cost, up to a maximum of 200% of cost or 2 products. See Section 01 33 29 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING for additional raw material sourcing criteria.
