OBLIGATION:

We, the Principal and Surety(ies) are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) in the above penal sum. For payment of the penal sum, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally. However, where the Sureties are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" as well as "severally" only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us.

If no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability is the full amount of the penal sum.

CONDITIONS:

The Principal has submitted the bid identified above.

THEREFORE:

The above obligation is void if the Principal - (a) upon acceptance by the Government of the bid identified above, within the period specified therein for acceptance (sixty (60) days if no period is specified), executes the further contractual documents and gives the bond(s) required by the terms of the bid as accepted within the time specified (ten (10) days if no period is specified) after receipt of the forms by the principal; or (b) in the event of failure to execute such further contractual documents and give such bonds, pays the Government for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of the bid.

Each Surety executing this instrument agrees that its obligation is not impaired by any extension(s) of the time for acceptance of the bid that the Principal may grant to the Government.

Notice to the surety(ies) of extension(s) is waived. However, waiver of the notice applies only to extensions aggregating not more than sixty (60) calendar days in addition to the period originally allowed for acceptance of the bid.

WITNESS:

The Principal and Surety(ies) executed this bid bond and affixed their seals on the above date.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.1 This is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, competitive, unrestricted, one-step, best value, source selection. Competing Prime Construction Contractors, hereinafter referred to as the “Offeror”, shall submit a proposal that includes the required submission information indicated below to demonstrate the Offeror’s past performance and capabilities to perform the work described in this solicitation. In addition, each competing Offeror shall also include in their proposal its price and other administrative information described below. By submission of a proposal, the Offeror accedes to all the terms of this RFP.

The Government reserves the right to reject any and/all offers.

2.0 WHO CAN SUBMIT

2.1 Any responsible, interested construction contractors may submit a proposal.

2.2 Any design firm that participated in preparation of this solicitation, whether as a Government contractor or as a subcontractor to a Government contractor, is not eligible to participate in this solicitation as a prime contractor or a design subcontractor due to a conflict of interest. The Government considers such firms to have an unfair competitive advantage, and therefore will not consider such firms.

3.0 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Submit the electronic proposal package to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to the contract specialist Chanda.D.Strenth@usace.army.mil and the contracting officer Sara.G.Logsdon@usace.army.mil as shown in Block 8 of Standard Form 1442 (SF 1442). The Government must receive your proposal no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of the SF 1442. Any and all amendments to the solicitation shall be acknowledged by completion of Block 19 of the SF 1442.

3.2 Submit the electronic proposal package in two separate volumes, labeled as follows:

“Volume I – Non-Priced Evaluation Factors”; submit an electronic file in Portable Document File (PDF) format.

3.3 To effectively and equitably evaluate proposals, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) must receive information, in the order described below, that clearly describes an Offeror's capabilities to successfully execute the construction project as required by this RFP. It is therefore an

SECTION 00 11 00-Page 2

Offeror’s responsibility to submit proposal information that is fully responsive to the submission requirements of this section. Offerors are responsible for organizing material sequentially under tabs and numbered pages as set out below to facilitate evaluation. Materials that are not properly organized may easily be overlooked during evaluations, possibly affecting an Offeror’s rating. Offers should be concise, addressing only the information outlined in this section.

4.0 SPECIFIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 There are two separate volumes required in response to this solicitation.

Volume I includes four (4) non-priced evaluation factors that will be evaluated. Volume II includes administrative requirements and proposed pricing.

EVALUATION FACTORS AND ORDER OF RELATIVE IMPORTANCE

Volume Factor - Description Relative Importance

Vol I - Tab A Factor 1 – Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor

1st in relative importance;

equally important to Factor 2

Vol I – Tab B Factor 2 – Technical Approach

1st in relative importance;

equally important to Factor 1

Vol I – Tab C Factor 3 – Key Personnel Experience and Qualifications

2nd in relative importance;

less important than Factors 1 and 2

Vol I – Tab D Factor 4 – Small Business Approach

4.2 Volume I - Tab A, Factor 1 – Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor. The Past Performance of the Prime Contractor (Offeror) consists of (a) Relevant Company Effort and (b) Quality of Past Performance. The Government will review recent, relevant company efforts and quality information provided by the owners of those efforts to assess the Offeror’s past experience and probability of successfully performing the work described in this solicitation. A recent, relevant project is a construction project:

(a) Performed under a contract or task order, as those terms are defined in FAR 2.101, for Federal projects, or similar contractual agreements for State or Local Governments, or the commercial or private sector. (Multiple projects under a single contract or task order are considered one project.

However, do not combine multiple projects under separate contracts or task orders to create a single project.);

(b) That is “recent”; one that has been completed within six (6) years of the solicitation issue date, or one where the construction is at least 50% complete (measured by performance period days) as of the solicitation issue date. (Offerors are responsible for providing start and completion dates for each completed project, or the start and scheduled completion dates for projects currently under construction.);

(c) That is “relevant”; one that is similar in scope (type, size, complexity and dollar value) to the project described in this solicitation. In terms of dollar value, a relevant project is one that is within the construction cost range of $25,000,000-$100,000,000. For a project to be assessed any degree of “relevancy” it must reflect performance of construction

SECTION 00 11 00-Page 3 type work similar to the Walter F. George Long Term Riprap Repair, Walter F.

George Dam, Chattahoochee River, AL-GA as required by this solicitation.

4.3.1 (a) Relevant Company Effort: The Offeror shall provide no more than three (3) examples of recent, relevant construction type projects performed as the prime construction contractor that demonstrate the company’s ability to perform work similar to that required by this solicitation. For each project, the Offeror shall furnish the information specified below. Attachment 2, at the end of this section, may be used to present the information. The construction effort shown does not have to be a task order under an IDIQ contract, but where it is, clearly indicate so. Item 5 below, General Scope of the Project, discuss specific details of the project, at a minimum, describe what was constructed and clearly explain the aspects that are similar to construction of this solicitation. If more than three (3) projects are submitted for evaluation, only the first three (3) projects will be evaluated.

The Relevant Company Effort portion of Factor 1 shall not exceed nine (9) pages.

(1) Company Name

(2) Name of Project

(3) Location of Project

(4) Project Owner

(5) General Scope of Project (Include type DB, DBB, Other)

(6) Your Role and Construction Type Work Your Company Self-Performed on site other than Construction Management Services.

(7) Construction Cost of the single project

(8) Extent and Type of Work Subcontracted Out

(9) Construction Period - Start and Completion/Scheduled Completion Dates

(Provide Month/Year) (10)Termination or Liquidated Damages Information; Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

(b) Quality of Past Performance.

(1) The Offeror shall submit evidence of the quality of their past performance for each project. For Federal Government projects, the Offeror shall provide a completed contractor performance evaluation, whether interim or final, found in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (www.cpars.gov/). If a proper evaluation does not exist in CPARS, because it has not been completed or the project is a non-Federal Government project, the Offeror shall provide a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (See Attachment 3). If, at time of evaluation, a final contractor performance evaluation exists in CPARS, and yet the Offeror submits a PPQ, only the evaluation in CPARS will be considered.

(2) Past performance surveys/assessment/evaluation forms other than CPARS or PPQs are unacceptable and will not be considered or evaluated.

(3) Completed PPQs that were submitted in response to previous solicitations may be used in this source selection. However, Offerors shall not incorporate such PPQs by reference and thus must resubmit the PPQ with their proposal. This does not, however, preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the Past Performance evaluation.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing current, detailed and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

(4) If an Offeror has been required to take corrective action for any substandard performance or experienced other performance problems such as cost

SECTION 00 11 00-Page 4 overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc., the Offeror should explain the circumstances and the corrective actions taken.

(5) If an Offeror’s client/customer will only provide completed PPQs directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, Offerors must ensure the client/customer submits the PPQ by the proposal due date using the following electronic mailing address: Chanda.D.Strenth@usace.army.mil. The solicitation number shall be included on the PPQ form. PPQs received after the proposal due date will be considered untimely and will not be considered during the evaluation.

4.3.2 Joint Venture Submission Requirements.

4.3.2.1 Like other Offerors, a JV Offeror shall provide no more than three (3) examples of recent, relevant projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation.

4.3.2.2 If the JV Offeror does not have three (3) projects performed as a JV, the Offeror may supplement those projects it performed as a JV with recent, relevant projects performed by the members of the JV in their individual capacities. In such instance, the total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than three (3).

4.3.2.3 If the JV Offeror has not previously performed as a JV, each member of the JV may submit recent, relevant projects performed in their individual capacities. The total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than three (3).

4.3.3 All Business Entities: To satisfy Paragraph 4.2.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b), only information pertaining to the corporate entity listed on the SF 1442 will be considered in the evaluation. Information related to a parent company, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, other related entities, subcontractors, or the individual experience of key personnel will not be considered.

4.3.4 Verification: The Government reserves the right to verify the information on projects submitted for evaluation, and to review CPARS, or other Government project appraisal systems, for information on other projects performed by the Offeror whether submitted as part of a proposal or not. The Government also reserves the right to contact project clients/customer, or other references. For any adverse performance information found for which the Offeror has not had an opportunity to address, the Offeror will be afforded an opportunity to explain.

4.4 Volume I – Tab B, Factor 2 - Technical Approach. The Offeror must submit a technical approach narrative to explain their company’s capabilities to execute the construction work required by the solicitation. Reference drawings and specifications for project information required by this solicitation.

Factor 2 shall not exceed thirty (30) pages. Address the following item, in a narrative format:

(a) Project Preliminary Schedule - Provide a preliminary construction schedule to demonstrate an understanding of the entire scope. As a minimum, include key tasks with durations for such activities as shop submittals with required reviews, the construction effort, permitting, closeout, and turnover activities. Clearly indicate the major milestones for major work features.

Ensure the project duration meets the project requirements in calendar days starting from the Government’s notice to proceed (NTP) to Closeout Documents approval.

The preliminary project schedule shall state the scheduling software including version to be used that is compatible with the QCS software.

SECTION 00 11 00-Page 5
