Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires that Past Performance Information (PPI) be collected on DoD contracts. Both the contractor and government personnel are responsible for inputting PPI data. Performance evaluations prepared in CPARS are transmitted to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). For specific details and guidance in use of the system, contractor is directed to https://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/ct/I/home.asp.This links the contractor to the Portland District Contractor Appraisal Information Center (CAIC). CAIC is the primary center to assist both the contractor and government personnel in using the system.

NOTES

1. Bidders must bid on the basic work, Option-1 and Option-2. Failure to bid on the Basic

Work and both Option-1 and Option-2 will be cause for rejection of the bid as non-responsive.

2. Award of contract will be based on the lowest total price for the total of the Basic Work and Option-1 and Option-2.

3. Option-1 and Option-2 will be exercised, at the Government’s discretion, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt by the Contractor of the Notice to Proceed (Basic Work), if they are exercised at all. If Option-1 and Option-2 are exercised, the performance period will be consecutive.

4. All bidders are hereby advised that the quantities for dredging/placement in the price schedule are estimated and based on survey data collected in February 2009.

5. The Government may reject a bid as non-responsive if the prices in the bid are materially unbalanced between line items and if there is reasonable doubt that the bid will result in the lowest overall cost to the government even though it may be the low bid.

6. Note that the 90 day rule may apply to this contract if the sediment testing and permitting are delayed. The “90 day” rule references 29 CFR 1.6(c)(3)(iv) as set forth in FAR 22.404- 6(b) (6) provides that if a contract to which a general wage determination has been applied is not awarded within 90 days after bid opening, any modification to that wage rate determination published prior to contract award shall be effective unless the agency obtains an extension of the 90-day period from the Administrator, U.S. Department of Labor.

7. This contract award is conditional upon funds availability.

8. It is the contractor’s responsibility to comply with all conditions and requirements of the identified disposal site.

9. Bidders are reminded that they must bid on the issued plans and specifications as amended.

Any deviations, conditions, or attachments made by the bidder himself may render the bid non-responsive and may be cause for its rejection.

10. Contract performance shall be completed within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the contractor of the Notice to Proceed, if only the Basic Work is awarded under this contract.

If exercised, the time for contract completion of Option 1 will be fourteen (14) calendar days. If exercised, the time for contract completion of Option 2 will be twelve (12) calendar days.

(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; 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 [ballot], have not [ballot], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 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 contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager;

head of a subsidiary, division, or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.
