CAUTION PAGE:

CAUTION!

BEFORE SIGNING AND MAILING YOUR BID, please take note of the following, as failure to perform any one of these actions may cause your bid to be rejected.

1. AMENDMENTS: Have you acknowledged receipt of ALL Amendments? If in doubt as to number of amendments issued, please contact our office.

2. SEALED BIDS: Sealed envelopes containing bids shall be marked to show the bidder’s name and address, the solicitation number, title of project, amendments received, and the date and time bids are due.

3. AMENDED BID PAGES: If any of the Amendments furnished amended bid pages, the amended bid page(s) must be used in submitting your bid.

4. LATE BIDS: In order for a late mailed bid to be considered, generally it must have been sent by either registered or certified mail not later than 5 calendar days before the receipt of bids due date.

5. BID GUARANTEE: Sufficient bid guarantee in proper form must be furnished with your bid, if your bid exceeds $150,000.

6. MISTAKE IN BID: Have you reviewed your bid prices for possible errors in calculations or work left out?

7. FACSIMILE BIDS AND MODIFICATIONS: Will not be considered. Facsimile withdrawals will be considered.

8. HAND-DELIVERED BID: If bids are hand-delivered, you must be aware of enhanced security requirements in effect in the Federal Building and allow for extra time to clear security. You must have a valid picture ID in order to enter the building. No additional time will be allowed due to security requirements. Please ensure that the solicitation number and title of project appear or can be identified on the outside of bid package.

9. BUY AMERICAN ACT: All bidders are cautioned that, prior Government conduct notwithstanding, the Contractor's selection of a domestic construction material which would require the subsequent selection of a foreign construction material for compatibility is not a justification for waiver of the Buy American Act. 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 without the use of foreign construction materials.

10. BOLLING FEDERAL BUILDING ENHANCED SECURITY: Due to enhanced security in the Bolling Federal Building the Bid Opening Room S101, will open 30 minutes prior to bid opening and will remain open until all bids are opened and read. If bids are hand-delivered, you must be aware of enhanced security requirements in effect in the Federal Building and allow for extra time to clear security. You must have a valid picture ID in order to enter the building. No additional time will be allowed due to security requirements. Security Personnel may require you to be escorted to room S101. S101 is located at the end of the hall between the elevators on the first floor. Person(s) attending the bid opening, will no longer be allowed to remain on Corps of Engineers floors (4, 5 & 6) other than in the Bid Opening Room. The Bid Opening Room is available to all persons delivering bids or attending the bid opening. Bidders may wait in the Federal Building cafeteria on the Ground level or outside the building. Under The Federal Acquisition Regulations bids cannot be accepted after the time set for bid opening. Therefore, to ensure your bid is not late, all bidders are encouraged to complete their bids prior to arrival at the Bid Opening Room.

If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM database accessed through https://sam.gov/portal/SAM/#1 . It is highly encouraged that all prospective Offeror’s start the SAM’s registration process as soon as possible.

OFFEROR MUST BE REGISTERED IN THE SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT WITHIN 5

CALANDER DAYS OF THE BID OPENING OR THE CONTRACT OFFICER MAY PROCEED WITH

If you have questions about Government procurements in general or need assistance in the preparation of your proposal, a local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) may be able to help.

To locate a PTAC near you, go to http://www.aptac-us.org/sam-registration/ THIS A FREE SERVICE BY A NON PROFIT PAID FOR BY THE US GOVERNMENT

Alleged Fraudulent Activity in SAM

GSA has taken action to address alleged fraudulent activity in the System for Award Management (SAM). The measures GSA already put in place to help prevent improper activity in SAM include masking specific data elements in the entity registration even for authorized entity users; requiring “parent” approval of new registrations for their “child” entities; and requiring the formal appointment of the Entity Administrator by original, signed notarized letter.

Additional enhanced controls have been deployed. These controls include implementing multi-factor authentication using login.gov and notifying Entity Administrators when there is a change in the entity’s bank account information.

NOTARIZED LETTER PROCESS CHANGES

How has the notarized letter review process changed?

All non-Federal entities who create or update their registration in SAM.gov will no longer need to have an approved Entity Administrator notarized letter on file before their registration is activated.

This applies to you if your SAM.gov Purpose of Registration is either Federal Assistance or All Awards.

Check SAM.gov to find your Purpose of Registration.

All non-Federal entities still must mail the original, signed copy of the notarized letter to the Federal Service Desk.

Where can I find the notarized letter templates?

Read the instructions for domestic entities or instructions for international entities posted at the Federal Service Desk.

Where do I send the notarized letter?

You must mail the original, notarized letter to:

(1) An identifier assigned to entities located in the United States or its outlying areas by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch to identify a commercial or government entity;

or

(2) An identifier assigned by a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas that the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch records and maintains in the CAGE master file. This type of code is known as a NATO CAGE (NCAGE) code.

Predecessor means an entity that is replaced by a successor and includes any predecessors of the predecessor.

Successor means an entity that has replaced a predecessor by acquiring the assets and carrying out the affairs of the predecessor under a new name (often through acquisition or merger). The term “successor” does not include new offices/divisions of the same company or a company that only changes its name. The extent of the responsibility of the successor for the liabilities of the predecessor may vary, depending on State law and specific circumstances.

(b) The Offeror represents that it [____] is or [____] is not a successor to a predecessor that held a Federal contract or grant within the last three years.

(c) If the Offeror has indicated “is” in paragraph (b) of this provision, enter the following information for all predecessors that held a Federal contract or grant within the last three years (if more than one predecessor, list in reverse chronological order):

Predecessor CAGE code: ____ (or mark “Unknown”).

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (OCT 2015)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision.;

and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more…
