RFI – Page 1

Requests for Information (RFI) Procedure

The Philadelphia District requests that all bidders follow the instructions below when submitting Requests for Information (RFI’s).

Requests for information will be answered by an Amendment so all bidders are given the same information. Individual replies will not be issued.

RFI responses that affect the specifications will be issued as an Amendment to the specifications. If an RFI response conflicts with the Contract plans or specs, the Contract plans and/or specs will govern.

RFI responses may indicate that a resolution to an issue may be found in a Specific Amendment;

however Bidders should always check all amendments to the plans and specs and prepare their bid/offer accordingly. RFI responses that become invalid or inaccurate as the result of changes to the plans or specs issued by subsequent Amendments will not be revised.

Please do not submit an RFI more than once. Do not add subsequent questions to the list and resubmit your entire set of questions.

The following is the preferred format for submitting RFI’s. Questions submitted in this standard format will enable the Government to generate responses in a timelier manner.

Requests for information shall be submitted using a spreadsheet style method as shown below. A file with this format may also be downloaded from www.fbo.gov along with the plans and specs files for this project. Please attach the spreadsheet file as an attachment to an email message to the Point of Contact indicated for this project.

The spreadsheet shall contain the following columns: 1) RFI Number, 2) Reference to applicable Spec Section or Drawing Sheet Number, 3) applicable discipline involved (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc…), and 4) a Clear and concise statement of the problem or clarification requested.

Example:

Spec Sect/ RFI # Drawing Discipline Description 1 15 22 00 Mechanical Para. 2.5.1 specifies 4-inch pipe, however Dwg P2.01 shows piping is 8-inch in size.

2 A5.1.2 Architectural Unable to locate the specifications for the Grab Bars shown in the Toilet rooms.

CAUTION TO BIDDERS

All information required by the terms of the Solicitation must be furnished. MISTAKES OR OMISSIONS CAN BE COSTLY. Important items for you to check are included in but not limited to those listed below. This checklist is furnished only to assist you in submitting a proper bid. Check as you read.

[ ] Is the name in which you submitted the bid the same on your bid as on the bid bond?

[ ] Is your bid bond signed and sealed by you and your surety and is it in the proper amount?

[ ] Have you completed the "Representations and Certifications" {Section 000600} portion of the Solicitation? Is your CAGE Code listed on the Standard Form 1442?

[ ] Have you acknowledged all amendments? Have you submitted your bid on the latest amended bid schedule?

[ ] If required, have you entered a unit price for each bid item? {The solicitation will specifically state when this is necessary.}

[ ] The Government may reject a bid as nonresponsive if it is materially and mathematically unbalanced as to price for any bid item or combination of items. A bid is unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated for other work.

[ ] Are all erasures or corrections initialed by the person signing the bid?

[ ] Have you restricted your bid by altering the provisions of the solicitation?

[ ] If you are a large business and your bid is greater than $500,000 for service or $1,000,000.00 for construction have you included your Sub-Contracting Plan in your bid package?

[ ] Is the envelope containing your bid properly identified that it is a sealed bid and does it contain the correct solicitation number and bid opening time and address?

[ ] Will your bid arrive on time? See paragraph entitled "Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals of Bids" in the Instructions to Bidders {Section 000100} of the solicitation.

W912BU-09-B-0015 00100-3

52.214-7 LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS OF BIDS (NOV 1999)

(a) Bidders are responsible for submitting bids, and any modifications or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the invitation for bids (IFB) by the time specified in the IFB. If no time is specified in the IFB, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that bids are due.

(b)(1) Any bid, modification, or withdrawal received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of bids is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late bid would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(i) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the IFB, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of bids; or

(ii) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of bids and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of bids.

(2) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful bid that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(c) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the bid wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(d) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that bids cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of bids by the exact time specified in the IFB and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the IFB, the time specified for receipt of bids will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids. If the IFB authorizes facsimile bids, bids may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.214-31, Facsimile Bids. A bid may be withdrawn in person by a bidder or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of bids, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the bid.

(2) Alternate prices;

(3) Units of construction; or

(4) Any combination of subparagraphs (1) through (3) above.

(c) If the solicitation requires bidding on all items, failure to do so will disqualify the bid. If bidding on all items is not required, bidders should insert the words "no bid" in the space provided for any item on which no price is submitted.

(d) Alternate bids will not be considered unless this solicitation authorizes their submission.

52.214-19 CONTRACT AWARD--SEALED BIDDING--CONSTRUCTION (AUG 1996)

(a) The Government will evaluate bids in response to this solicitation without discussions and will award a contract to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, considering only price and the price-related factors specified elsewhere in the solicitation.

(b) The Government may reject any or all bids, and waive informalities or minor irregularities in bids received.

(c) The Government may accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded by a restrictive limitation in the solicitation or the bid.

(d) The Government may reject a bid as nonresponsive if the prices bid are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work, and if there is a reasonable doubt that the bid will result in the lowest overall cost to the Government even though it may be the low evaluated bid, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment.

(3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;
