Amendment No. 0004 02 Dec 2009

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 0004 to Request for Proposal Solicitation Package for Construction of Flood Protection Project, Phase 2C, Big Sioux River and Skunk Creek, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Solicitation No. W9128F 10 R 0001.

TO: Prospective Offerors and Others Concerned

1. The specifications and drawings for subject project are hereby modified as follows (revise all specification indices, attachment lists, and drawing indices accordingly).

a. Specifications. (Descriptive Changes.)

(1) Section 00 22 00 page 11, delete paragraph 5.4 substitute the following: (note: paragraph 5.4.1 is to remain)

“5.4 TAB 4 (VOLUME I) - PAST PERFORMANCE, CONSTRUCTION

Submit all past performance ratings for the offeror’s Construction experience. Construction Contract Administration Support System (CCASS) ratings for all Corps of Engineer projects constructed by the offeror in the past five years should be submitted. For projects cited in Tabs 1, 2 and 3 that were constructed for other government entities, submit the completed performance evaluation rating forms used by that government entity. For each project cited in Tabs 1, 2, 3 that may be private industry work or other Government entity not covered in the CCASS database, submit a Form DD2626 (a blank copy is attached to this section) completed by an owner or owner’s representative (and not affiliated with your firm). The Offeror should explain any past performance resulting in significant cost and/or time growth. The government reserves the right to obtain copies of all CCASS records contained in the Corps of Engineers CCASS database. Firms are requested to retrieve their past performance information directly from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) at http://www.ppirs.gov. PPIRS is an electronic repository of performance information collected by all the major federal performance reporting systems.

Logging onto PPIRS will require the following:

All firms must have purchased and installed a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate. If you do not have this certificate, you cannot access your information. Additional information about the PKI certificate is posted in red at the top, center portion, of the http://www.ppirs.gov web page.

Am #0004 - 2

You will also need your DUNS number and Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) to log onto PPIRS. The MPIN number was selected by whoever registered your firm in the Central Contractor Registry at http://www.ccr.gov. If you do not know your MPIN number, you will need to contact the CCR help desk by emailing them from the email link on the http://www.ccr.gov/help.asp web page. Please be aware that they will only release the MPIN number to the person who originally registered your firm.

There are two other ways to obtain a copy of CCASS evaluations as follows:

(1) Contact your government point of contact for the project you mentioned, and ask them if they can send you a copy, or (2) Apply for “Contractor Corporate Senior Management Representative” access on the following CCASS web page: http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. This type of access is issued to only one person within the firm, typically a member of senior management. In addition to access to your completed CCASS performance evaluations, you will also be able to view status of evaluations which have not yet been completed.

Following receipt of your faxed application request, you will be emailed a logon and access instructions. This type of access will only let you see CCASS information, so it is not as complete as PPIRS access which allows access to evaluations prepared by non-DOD federal agencies, as well as the DOD agencies which use CCASS. Be aware that you will also need to have a PKI certificate to access the CCASS system. This is a DOD requirement.”

2. This amendment is a part of the proposing papers and its receipt shall be acknowledged on the Standard Form 1442. All other conditions and requirements of the request for proposal remain unchanged. If the proposals have been mailed prior to receiving this amendment, you will notify the office where proposals are received, in the specified manner, immediately of its receipt and of any changes in your proposal occasioned thereby.

a. Hand-Carried Proposals shall be delivered to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, Contracting Division, 1616 Capitol Avenue, Omaha, Nebraska 68102-4901.

b. Mailed Proposals shall be addressed as noted in Item 8 on Page 00010-1 of Standard Form 1442.

3. Offers will be received until 3:00 p.m., local time at place of receiving proposals, 08 Dec 2009.
