Section 00 21 00 - Instructions

1.1 GENERAL BIDDING INFORMATION

Bidders shall e-mail bids to the below individuals no later than the date and time established in Block 13 of the Standard Form (SF) 1442, or Block 14 of the most recent SF 30, as applicable:

Lee M. McCormick, Contracting Officer: lee.m.mccormick@usace.army.mil Mika N. Mahyenga, Contract Specialist: mika.n.mahyenga@usace.army.mil

Each email shall contain the following information:

a. Solicitation No: W9128F24B0008

b. Bid Due Date and Time: See Section SF1442 (00 10 00 page 1)

c. Bid Validity Date: 60 Days

Bids received after the date and time stated within Block 13 of the SF 1442 or Block 14 of the most recent SF 30, as applicable, will be considered late and will not be considered for award. To avoid rejection of a bid, the bidder must ensure the e-mail submission is virus-free. The government will follow FAR 14.406 if an e-mail bid is unreadable. Part 15 is not applicable to this acquisition.

Bidders should enter a description for every file submitted. For files over 20 megabytes (MB) the bidders shall break the file into smaller files sent via separate emails with each email marked to identify which number the email is relative to the total number of emails submitted (i.e. "email one of four"). Once all of the emails submitted have been received the Government will confirm receipt via responsive email. If a bidder submits multiple bids the Government will only consider the last bid submitted prior to the bid due date and time.

Do not assume submission will be instantaneous. File size and number of files submitted shall be considered.

Bidder/Teammate/Subcontractors should allow adequate time for submission completion because the entire bid (i.e. bidders' submission and all teammate/subcontractor(s) independent submissions) must be received by the bid due date and time specified in Block 13 of SF 1442, or SF 30 as applicable.

Electronic submission of bids satisfies the requirement set forth in Block 13A of the SF 1442 ('…in original and copies…"). Additionally, electronic submission of the bid guarantee, when a bid guarantee is required, is due with the bid submission. Mailing a bid guarantee is not allowed.

1.1.1 INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED WITH BID

1.1.2 BID OPENING

The government will NOT conduct a physical bid opening for this solicitation. The government will hold the bid opening by conference call at 3:00 pm CST when the bids are due.

1.1.3 INFORMATION FOR MODIFYING BIDS

Any clerical mistake, including arithmetic discrepancies in a bid, will be handled according to FAR 14.407-

2. Any clerical error, apparent on its face in the offer, may be corrected by the contracting officer before award, but only after first obtaining bidder verification of the bid intended. The following are examples of mistakes that may be fixed:

(1) Obviously misplaced decimal points;

(2) Discrepancies between unit price and extended price (unit price will govern);

(3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices;

(4) Apparent errors in addition of lump sum and extended prices.

1.1.5 BASIS FOR AWARD

Per FAR 52.214-19 Contract Award-Sealed Bidding-Construction in Section 00 21 00 (Instructions), the government will evaluate bids in response to this solicitation without discussions.

1.1.6 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This project is to provide roofing assembly replacement and repairs to the existing Missouri River Project Office (MRPO) Warehouse building features that are in a failing or near failing state. The roof replacement and repairs to the building will restore specific components to as new conditions and enable continued use of the building capable of providing regular daily activities for which the facility was intended when initially constructed. The repaired facility will accommodate approximately 21 permanently assigned personnel. The roof gross square footage (rounded) is approximately 40,000 SF. The facility includes administrative/office space, vehicle storage, warehouse storage space, and building support spaces. The general concept behind the roof replacement and repair is to match the existing roof features as they currently exist, and repair associated items such as eave flashings and insulation envelope that are failing and causing environmental and safety concerns.

The facility roof replacement and repairs will permit the facility to have an additional 25-year useful design life before re-use/re-purpose, and a 50-year building replacement life.

1.1.7 ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST

The estimated magnitude of construction is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

1.1.8 BID GUARANTEE

See 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee in Section 00 72 00 (General Conditions).

The performance bond must be on SF-25, and the payment bond must be on SF-25A. Electronic signatures and electronic, mechanically-applied, or printed dates may be used and considered original signatures and dates, without regard to the order in which affixed.

1.1.11 REJECTION OF BIDS

The government will handle the rejection of bids per FAR 14.404. The government may reject an offer if the prices for line items or subline items are materially unbalanced (see 15.404-1(g)). Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or underestimated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. See also 52.214- 19 Contract Award-Sealed Bidding-Construction in Section 00 72 00 (General Conditions) for additional information.

1.1.12 NOTICE REGARDING BUY AMERICAN STATUE

The Buy American statute (41 U.S.C. 83 chapter 83, Buy American) generally requires that only domestic construction material be used in the performance of this contract. Exception from the Buy American statute shall be permitted only in the case of non-availability of domestic construction materials or allowed under Trade Agreements, if included in the solicitation. A bid offering nondomestic construction material will not be accepted unless specifically approved by the Government or allowed under Trade Agreements, if included in the solicitation. When a bidder proposes to furnish nondomestic construction material, his bid must set forth an itemization of the quantity, unit price, and intended use of each item of such nondomestic construction material. When offering nondomestic construction material pursuant to this paragraph, bids may also offer, at stated prices, any available comparable domestic construction material, so as to avoid the possibility that failure of a nondomestic construction material to be acceptable under this paragraph will cause rejection of the entire bid, unless allowed under Trade Agreements, if included in the solicitation.

All bidders are cautioned that, prior Government conduct notwithstanding, the Contractor's selection of a domestic construction material (as defined in FAR 52.225-9 Buy American Construction Materials) which would require the subsequent selection of a foreign construction material for compatibility is not a justification for waiver of the Buy American statute. It is the Contractor's responsibility to verify, prior to submitting the materials for approval that each system can be built to meet the contract specifications and Buy American statute requirements of the solicitation.

1.1.13 FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES

The bidder is responsible for investigating applicable federal, state, and local taxes and any specific exemptions that may exist and includes applicable Value-Added Taxes (VAT), sales, use, and excise taxes.

See 52.229-3 Federal, State, and Local in Section 00 72 00 (General Conditions).

1.1.13.1 NEBRASKA EXEMPTION FOR BUILDING MATERIALS ON FEDERAL REAL ESTATE

The State of Nebraska permits exempt status on some purchases used for a construction project provided that Nebraska Department of Revenue Form 17G status is granted to the contractor. This exemption covers purchases and uses of building materials that will be annexed to real estate that is owned by the federal government. The Offeror should exclude Nebraska sales and use tax from the proposal which are subject to this exemption as provided under Form 17G (attached to this section for reference). The Contracting Officer will provide a completed Form 17G to the successful Offeror after award. Upon receipt of the signed form, the Offeror must comply with the instructions on Form 17G for use in securing exemption from state taxes on the purchase of covered building materials.
