ECTION 00 21 00 - INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

1. OVERVIEW

a. This is a "Two-Step Sealed Bid Invitation for Bid" for the Surge Tank Roof Replacement Project at Fort Peck Dam, SD. The Contracting Officer will award one (1) firm fixed-price construction contract to the responsive and responsible bidder whom the Government determines to have an acceptable Step-One technical proposal, conforms to the solicitation requirements, is fair and reasonable, and bids the lowest overall price in Step-Two.

b. The Step-One Request for Technical Proposals is issued within approximately 95% complete sufficiently descriptive technical specifications and construction drawings. The information contained in Step-One is not binding on the Government and the actual delivery or performance requirements will be contained in the invitation issued under Step-Two. The 95% specifications and drawings are not final or to be used for construction. Only those firms determined to be technically acceptable during Step-One will be issued the 100% final technical specifications during Step-Two.

c. The Two-Step Sealed Bidding procedure is a combination of competitive procedures designed to obtain the benefits of a sealed bidding while ensuring only technically acceptable firms participate in the priced sealed bid. The process allows for the Step-one technical proposal submission and evaluation to be performed concurrent with the development of the final 100% technical specifications and construction drawings. Step-One ensures that only technically acceptable firms participate in the Step-Two, the sealed bid process.

d. Step-One under this process consists of the request for, submission of, evaluation and (if necessary) discussion of a technical proposal. Only one technical proposal may be submitted by each Offeror. The proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability. The Step-One technical proposal must not include prices or pricing information.

e. In Step-One, Offerors must submit technical proposals that are complete and acceptable without the need for additional explanation or information. The Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal's acceptability solely on the basis of the proposal as submitted. The Government may proceed with Step-Two without requesting further information from any Offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from, or enter into discussions with, the Offerors of proposals that are determined to be reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable. Discussions will only be held if necessary, and if determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

f. A notice of "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" will be forwarded to each Step-One Offeror upon completion of the technical proposal evaluation and final determination. The names of the Offerors that submitted acceptable technical proposals will be listed on the Government's https://sam.gov website for the benefit of prospective subcontractors.

g. In Step-Two, an amendment with the final 100% technical specifications and construction drawings will be issued to only those Offerors whose technical proposals are determined to be acceptable in Step-

W9128F25BA0020001

One. The normal sealed bidding process in FAR Part 14 will be followed. In Step-Two, only bids based upon technical proposals determined to be acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. Each bid submitted in Step-Two must be based on the bidder's own technical proposal that was submitted, evaluated, and determined to be acceptable in Step-One. Bidders must comply with the 100% technical specifications and construction drawings and the bidder's acceptable technical proposal.

h. Contractor Team Arrangements are considered an arrangement in which (1) two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or (2) a potential prime contractor agrees with one (1) or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program. The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of Contractor Team Arrangements provided the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in an offer or, for arrangements entered into after submission of an offer before the arrangement becomes effective. The Government will not normally require or encourage the dissolution of Contractor Team Arrangements. The Offeror must identify the major or critical aspects of the requirement to be performed by those identified in the Contractor Team Arrangement.

i. Any Offeror submitting an offer in the name of a Joint Venture must include a fully executed copy of the Joint Venture Agreement with the offer. Joint Venture Agreements which require SBA approval may be submitted absent the requisite SBA Servicing Agency approving authorities' signature; however, the Offeror shall submit evidence from the Offeror's SBA Servicing Agency that the Offeror has notified and discussed the proposed Joint Venture for this project with the appropriate SBA personnel.

2. STEP-ONE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

All Offerors are required to submit a technical proposal with the minimum content as specified herein.

Proposals without the minimum content will be rated other than "Acceptable". Step-One Technical Proposals shall be emailed 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:

Contracting Officer: Daniel Monahan at Daniel.D.Monahan@usace.army.mil

Contracting Specialist: Lynne Reed at Lynne.D.Reed@usace.army.mil

Each email shall contain the following information:

a. Solicitation No: W9128F25B0008

b. Bid Due Date and Time: [Block 13 of the SF 1442 or Block 14 of the most recent SF 30, as applicable]

c. Bid Validity Date: 60 Days

Proposals 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 proposal, the Offeror must ensure the e-mail submission is virus-free. The Government will follow FAR 14.406 if an e-mail bid is unreadable.

Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) when sending the submission to comply with the annual representations and certifications requirements. The Offeror certifies with its offer that the representations and certifications included in SAM are current, accurate, and complete.

3. STEP-ONE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL FORMAT REQUIREMENTS

Submit the Step-One technical proposal via email in PDF format and Optical Character Recognition (OCR)* compatible and word searchable. Each section must be clearly labeled by solicitation number, project name, and Offeror's name.

*OCR is a common method of digitizing printed texts so that they can be electronically searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line, and used in machine processes such as machine translation, text-to-speech, key data extraction and text mining.

Submitted files should be named according to the following format: SOLICITATION NUMBER COMPANY NAME Technical Proposal # of #. Offerors should separate files over 20 megabytes (MB) into smaller files and send separate e-mails. Offerors shall identify each e-mail with the number relative to the total number of e-mails submitted (i.e., "e-mail 1 of 4"). Offerors should request Government receipt upon sending all e-mails. Offerors should not assume e-mail submissions are instantaneous and must consider file size and number of files sent. Offerors should send email submissions at least 1 hour early to ensure delivery and may send test e-mails to USACE the day before bid opening.

Technical proposals will be organized with a table of contents as follows:

COVER LETTER - Solicitation number; Name, address, email, and telephone number of the Offeror;

Names, titles, emails, and telephone numbers of persons authorized to negotiate on the Offeror's behalf with the Government in connection with this IFB. Name, title and signature of the person authorized to sign the proposal.

A statement specifying agreement with all terms, conditions and provisions included in the IFB CAGE Code and UEID number for the Offeror, and all teaming partners and / or Joint Ventures.

Note: The inclusion of any exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in the technical proposal, or the inclusion of any other terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in a determination that the proposal is unacceptable and thus ineligible for award. Resolve questions about the terms and conditions or technical requirements of the solicitation prior to submission of the proposal.

- Standard Form 1442, completed and signed by authorized individual(s) of the Offeror, include TAB A the Offeror's UEID number in Block 14.

Acknowledgement of all amendments to the IFB in accordance with the instructions on the Standard Form 30 (amendment form).

This includes the FAR requirement that no award will be made unless the Contracting Officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective prime contractor must meet the general standards in FAR Part 9 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation.

6. STEP-ONE REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL PROPOSALS EVALUATION

The Government will evaluate each Offeror's technical proposal based on how well the proposal addresses each of the evaluation factors listed below. Each of the evaluation factors will be evaluated by the Government and either an "Acceptable", "Unacceptable" or "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable" rating will be determined by consensus of the Government evaluation board. There are no relative weights assigned to the factors. A Step-One acceptable technical proposal must be rated

"Acceptable" for all evaluation factors in order to receive an overall "Acceptable" technical proposal rating.

General Technical Proposal and Evaluation Information:

a. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 14.5, Two-Step Sealed Bidding.

For this procurement, only one (1) technical proposal may be submitted by each Offeror. The proposal must be complete without the need of additional explanation or information. The Government may proceed with Step-Two without requesting further information from any Offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from Offerors of proposals that it considers "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable."

b. Technical Proposals will be rated at the factor level. If any factor is determined to be "Unacceptable", the entire proposal will be determined "Unacceptable". A technical proposal may be determined to be "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable", and therefore eligible for discussions. However, a proposal with a factor that is determined to be "Unacceptable" will be eliminated from further consideration.

c. Technical proposals which do not provide the specified information in the specified location in accordance with the submission instructions may be rated other than "Acceptable". The Government is under no obligation to search for information that is not in the specified locations. If an Offeror submits alternate proposal elements that are not requested, the information will not be evaluated.

d. In general, example projects or experience that the Government does not consider relevant for the purposes of evaluating experience will not be considered as a part of the minimum project requirement.

e. The degree of acceptability to the Government inherent in the content of the Offeror's technical proposal will be a consideration under every evaluation factor.

f. If discussions are held with Offerors whose proposals are considered "reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable" and a request for proposal revisions are requested, the revised proposal will be re-evaluated in accordance with the criteria in the solicitation. After completion of discussions and evaluation of any revised proposals, the proposal will be determined as "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable".

If determined "Unacceptable", a notice of unacceptability will be forwarded to the Offeror upon completion of the proposal's evaluation.

g. Any proposal which modifies or fails to conform to the essential requirements or specifications of the request for technical proposals will be considered nonresponsive and categorized as "Unacceptable".

h. The Offeror's conformance with the specified format and submission requirements will be considered during the technical evaluation. Failure to comply with the formatting and/or submission requirements may be seen as indicative of the type of problems that could be expected during contract performance.

Lack of conformance and material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as "Unacceptable".

i. The Step-One submission instructions are written to give prospective Offerors, where feasible, an indication of the level of detail desired by the Government. The Offeror's failure to include information that the Government has indicated must be included will result in the proposal being found other than "Acceptable" if inadequate detail is provided.

j. Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in the technical proposal submissions. The inclusion of any terms and conditions in the proposals that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in a determination that the proposal/bid is "Unacceptable" and thus ineligible to bid in Step-Two. Resolve questions about the terms and conditions or technical requirements of the solicitation prior to submission of the proposal/bid; see "Proposal Inquiries and Questions", located above in Section 00 21 00.

k. Factor Ratings. Each factor will be given one of the ratings identified and defined as follows:

FACTOR 1 RATING

(Prior Experience in Relevant Projects)

DEFINITION

Acceptable The proposal meets the requirements of the Step-One request for technical proposal and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable

(Note: This rating is not used for the overall technical proposal rating)

The proposal, as proposed, cannot be rated as Acceptable because of error(s), omissions(s) or deficiency(ies) which are capable of being corrected without a major rewrite or revision of the proposal.

Unacceptable The proposal does not meet the requirements of the Step-One request for technical proposal.

FACTOR 2 RATING

(Past Performance)

DEFINITION

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the Step-One request for technical proposal, and / or based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

FACTOR 3 RATING

(Technical Approach)

(AM0001 5/28/25)

DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the Step-One request for technical proposal, and based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror's performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the Step-One request for technical proposal, and / or based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Submission Requirements and Evaluation Criteria for the Technical Proposal

The information provided in this section will be used in evaluating the Offeror's specialized technical experience specific to this solicitation.

Factor 1 - Prior Experience in Relevant Projects

Submission Requirements:

Submit three (3) example projects that best illustrate the Offeror's experience on projects of similar scope, complexity, and size as the Fort Peck Surge Tank Roof project. If more than three (3) projects are submitted, only the first three (3) will be evaluated. Submitted projects must have been completed or substantially completed within the past 10 years. Each submitted project shall be limited to two (2) pages.

Additional pages beyond the limit may not be evaluated.

Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs) or any other type of task-order contracts that provide for the issuance of task orders for the performance of tasks will not be considered projects for the purposes of this evaluation. Only individual task orders issued under such contracts will be evaluated as projects. However, a phased project using phased task orders for a single customer with multiple inter-dependent facilities on a single site may be considered a project for the purposes of this evaluation.

Project descriptions that do not clearly describe the proposing firm's or team member's experience, the scope of the project, or the periods of project performance will not be considered.

The following information is required for each submitted example project:

a. Project Title

b. Location

c. Contract Number

d. Type of Contract: Indicate Firm Fixed Price; Cost Plus Fixed Fee; etc.

e. Total Dollar Amount at Award and Completion: Total amount of the proposing firm's contract or subcontract (if a key subcontractor)

f. Project Delivery Method: Indicate Design/Bid/Build; Design/Build; Integrated Design; Design Only;

etc.

h. Brief Description of Project: Provide a narrative with details about the proposing firm's role and the relevancy to this project.

i. Project Relevancy: Address any relevancy of the submitted project using, at a minimum, the relevancy criteria below

j. Construction Start and Completion Dates: Project construction must be identified as complete or substantially complete. If a proposing firm presents a project that is substantially complete, the proposal must include an explanation of why that project should be considered.

k. Customer / End User's Primary Point of Contact: Name, relationship to project, agency/firm, phone number, and e-mail address. The Government may contact and interview project references. Reference information will not be revealed to other parties.

l. Procuring Activity Point of Contact: Name, relationship to project, agency/firm, phone number, and e-mail address. The Government may contact and interview project references. Reference information will not be revealed to other parties.

Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate each submitted project's extent of recent and relevant experience compared to this project's size, scope of work, and performance requirements. The Government will categorize the proposal with one (1) combined technical evaluation for this factor.

is a project that is complete or substantially complete within 10 years of this request for A recent project technical proposal issue date. If a proposing firm submits a project as substantially complete within the 10-year period, the proposal must include an explanation why that project should be considered substantially complete.

based on how closely they align with this project's requirements, The relevancy of submitted projects including its scope and complexity. Offerors should identify past performance and highlight how their relevant experience can reasonably translate to the work outlined below.

a. Technical Requirements:

1) Elevated Roofing Work: Demonstrate the ability to work safely on roofing projects at significant heights (approximately 250 feet), including consideration of appropriate safety measures and access methods.

2) Asbestos Mitigation: Provide certification or identify a certified subcontractor for the safe removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials.

3) Clay Tile Roofing: Demonstrate experience or provide a general outline of experience or approach for removing and installing clay tile roofing systems using commonly accepted fastening methods.

4) Precast Concrete Panels: Describe the general capability to work on roofing systems involving precast concrete panels, including basic methods to ensure secure attachment and maintain overall structural integrity.

b. The total cost of one (1) of the projects must be valued at more than $250,000.00.

Minimum Acceptability Criteria:

A firm's acceptable proposal for this factor must include:

a. Three (3) project examples that meet both the recency and relevancy requirements above.

The project descriptions and relevancy narratives must clearly articulate the relevancy in sufficient detail to determine technical capability. The more similarities an example project has with the prospective contract, the greater the degree of relevancy.

Factor 2 - Past Performance

Submission Requirements:

Submit past performance information on each project submitted for Factor 1. DO NOT provide Past Performance references for projects other than those project examples provided for Factor 1. The quantity of projects submitted for this factor is the same as the quantity of projects submitted for the Factor 1 submission requirements, three (3).

is provided for the offering firms to The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment A) submit to the client of each project the offering firm includes in its submission requirements for Factor 1.

Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client's point of contact. The completed PPQs should be submitted with the Step-One technical proposals. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Lynne Reed at Lynne.D.Reed@usace.army.mil and Daniel Monahan at Daniel.D.Monahan@usace.army.mil via

Previously completed PPQs are email prior to the Step-One technical proposal closing date and time.

acceptable.

Note: If any of the projects are Government contracts with a completed CPARS, please only complete blocks 1 through 5 of the PPQ form (Attachment A) and attach it to the front of the

CPARS rating. Be sure to include the POC's information of the client and the contract number of the project.

The past performance evaluation assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in an Offeror's ability to supply products and services outlined in the Step-One IFB requirements based on the offeror's demonstrated record of performance. There are three (3) aspects to the evaluation which are recency, relevancy, and quality. The Government will at a minimum, evaluate the successful performance of all project examples submitted for Factor 1 and categorize the proposal with one (1) combined evaluation for this factor.

The burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the proposing firm. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer or of the team member. The prime contractor will be rated on its own performance. A prime contractor may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity.

In accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305, the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance will be considered. However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis only.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror will be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating will be considered "Acceptable."

The Government may also review past performance information from any sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Contractor Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other databases using all CAGE /UEID numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company /subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror's proposal; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. The Government reserves the right to check any or all cited references to verify supplied information and to assess owner satisfaction. The evaluation may consider the number and severity of problems, the demonstrated effectiveness of corrective actions taken, and the overall work record.

Minimum Acceptability Criteria:

Past performance information must be submitted for each of the three (3) projects submitted for Factor 1.

A proposing firm demonstrates acceptable past performance by meeting the minimum submission and past performance solicitation requirements and based on the Offeror's satisfactory or higher performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully supply products and services that meet all the requirements of this solicitation's plans and specifications.

FACTOR 3 - TECHNICAL APPROACH

Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall provide a comprehensive Project Management Plan (PMP) developed specifically for this project, for evaluation purposes only, to verify Offeror's experience in understanding project scope, submittal schedules, equipment procurement and delivery, offsite fabrication and repair, key milestones and contract required schedule constraints. For proposal evaluation purposes only, the Offeror should use an arbitrary, non-binding Notice to Proceed (NTP) date of 1 July 2025. The PMP shall be limited to no more than 25 pages; therefore, any content beyond page 25 will not be evaluated.

The PMP should include an explanation of the management approach for the design/construction team, clearly showing how the prime contractor will manage the construction of the project to ensure a well-coordinated quality product, completed on time and with a minimum amount of contract modifications.

The management approach should include address the interaction between the designers, construction prime and subcontractors during the design phase and construction phases of the project, including controls and revisions to the accepted design, requests for information, and shop drawings/submittal reviews. At a minimum, the PMP shall address the activities outlined below in the areas of Management Approach, Schedule Constraints and Major Activities.

Management Approach:

a. Include any special work restrictions or phasing identified in the solicitation documents.

b. Sub-Contractor Management.

c. Contract Close-out.

Schedule Constraints:

a. Pre-Construction Submittals submitted/approved within 90 calendar days after Notice To Proceed being issued.

b. Design drawings and install procedures completed and submitted 60 days prior to the start of any required outage.

c. On-site work should generally be scheduled and performed between April and November due to more favorable on-site weather conditions at Fort Peck. Any work proposed outside this period requires prior approval from the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

d. Work hours shall conform to solicitation constraints outlined in Section 01 12 00, FEDERAL

HOLIDAYS AND WORKING HOURS.

Major Activities:

a. Pre-construction submittals.

b. Design drawings.

c. Clay Tile Procurement.

d. Inspection of Existing Roof Underlayment.

e. Demolition and Removal of Asbestos-Containing Materials.

f. Installation of New Clay Tile Roofing System onto Precast Concrete Panels.

g. Final Inspection.

a. Management Approach, including any special work restrictions or phasing identified in the solicitation document.

b. The submitted schedule complies with and includes all of the listed Schedule Constraints and identifies all of the listed Major Activities above.

7. STEP-TWO INVITATION FOR BID, EVALUATION, AND AWARD

Step-Two in the process involves the submission of sealed priced bids by those who submitted acceptable technical proposals in Step-One.

The Step-Two Invitation for Bid (IFB) will be issued to the acceptable firms as an amendment to the solicitation and include the final 100% technical specifications and construction drawings, final bid schedule, and other final bidding information. The priced bids will be due no later than the date and time listed in the amendment. The bids submitted in Step-Two will be evaluated and the award made in accordance with Subparts 14.3 and 14.4.
