SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 01 05 - CERTIFICATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

CAUTION PAGE

CAUTION!

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.

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, 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 the bid room. 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.
