INSTRUCTION TO BIDDERS

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 Block14 of the most recent SF 30, as applicable:

Daniel Monahan, Contracting Officer: daniel.d.monahan@usace.army.mil

Margarette Wolfe, Contract Specialist: margarette.e.wolfe@usace.army.mil

Each email shall contain the following information:

a. Solicitation No: W9128F25BA003

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.

Once all 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.

1.1.12 NOTICE REGARDING BUY AMERICAN STATUE

The Buy American statute (41 U.S.C. 83chapter 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.

The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative.

The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures--this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

6. Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something): All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program.
