CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY:

In order to determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR Part 9, the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and/or plant to be used in performing the work (see Attachments, Preaward Survey). The Preaward Survey is attached to the solicitation for information purposes only. It will be required from only the low bidder. After the Bid Opening, the Government will request this information from the low bidder if the low bidder has not had a contract with the New York District within the last twelve months and the Government will set a due date for its submission. The Preaward Survey is not required as part of the bid package.

In order to be determined to be responsible a prospective contractor must:

a. Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

b. Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments.

c. Have a satisfactory performance record. In making the determination of responsibility, the Government Contracting Officer shall consider relevant past performance information. A prospective contractor shall not be determined responsible or nonresponsible solely on the basis of a lack of relevant performance history except when there are special standards set forth in the solicitation which applies to all bidders that must be met in order to receive the award. These special standards may be necessary when unusual expertise or specialized facilities are necessary in the performance of the contract; therefore, in order to be determined to be responsible for that particular contract, the offeror must be able to meet those special standards. A prospective contractor that is or recently has been seriously deficient in contract performance shall be presumed to be nonresponsible unless the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances were beyond the contractor's control or that the contractor has taken appropriate corrective action. Other responsibility considerations by the Contracting Officer will include past efforts by the contractor to apply sufficient tenacity and perseverance to perform acceptably, to meet quality requirements of contracts, and the contractor's past compliance with subcontracting plans (if required) under recent contracts.

d. Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

e. Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors).

f. Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

g. Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations. If the contractor or subcontractor does not already have sufficient resources demonstrated in the completed

Preaward Survey, acceptable evidence of "the ability to obtain" the required, adequate resources (all of the resources discussed in subparagraphs a, e, and f above) normally consists of a commitment or explicit arrangement that will be in existence at the time of contract award to rent, purchase or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, other resources, or personnel.

EVALUATION FOR AWARD:

The TEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of Step 1 proposals received in response to this solicitation. Offerors should submit proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal and any subsequent clarifications required, as well as information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The TEB will not consider any information incorporated by reference.

Only acceptable proposals from Step 1 will be eligible for Step II and considered for award.

100% plans and specifications will be issued during Step II.

TELEGRAPHIC BIDS:

Telegraphic Bid/Offers ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

FACSIMILE BIDS/OFFERS:

Facsimile bids/offers, modifications thereto, or cancellations of bids/offers will NOT BE ACCEPTED.

PREPARATION OF SUBCONTRACTING PLAN:

(a) See FAR 52.219-9, Section 00700, of this solicitation. Subcontracting Plans will be developed considering only the subcontracts actually to be awarded. Subcontracting Plans are required from other than small businesses if the contract price is over $1,500,000; they are not required from small business firms regardless of the contract price.

(b) For information on the evaluation of subcontracting plans, see Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, Appendix DD.

(c) The Corps of Engineers highly encourages all bidders/offerors to meet the recommended subcontracting goals as follows:

Small Businesses 70.0% Small Disadvantaged Businesses 6.2% Women-Owned Small Businesses 7.0% HUBZone Small Business 9.8% Veteran-Owned Small Business 3.5% Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business 2.0%

The goals are calculated as a percentage of the TOTAL SUBCONTRACTING DOLLARS, NOT

THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT.

PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS:

The bidder/offeror whose bid/offer is accepted will, within the time established in the contract, furnish performance and payment bonds in accordance with FAR 52.228-15 located in Section 00700.

INDIVIDUAL SURETIES IN SUPPORT OF BID BONDS:

Bidders/offerors utilizing individual sureties in support of a bid bond shall include a Standard Form (SF) 28 (Affidavit of Individual Surety), accompanied by a pledge of acceptable assets from each person acting as an individual surety, and include these with the SF 24 (Bid Bond), and the bid itself (see clause titled "Pledges of Assets," FAR 52.228-11). Pledges of acceptable assets shall be in the form of (1) evidence of an escrow account and/or (2) a recorded lien on real estate. If this is an IFB, failure to provide pledges of acceptable assets, with the bid, in the specified form, accompanied by a properly executed SF 24 and SF 28, will render the bidder nonresponsible and thus ineligible for award. If this is an RFP, failure to provide required documentation described herein may cause the offeror to be deemed "unacceptable".

ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS:

A written award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Do not submit any material not required by this solicitation (such as company or system brochures).

Proposals that provide only superficial coverage of the information required below, may not receive additional consideration and may be excluded from the competitive range.

Additionally, should the proposal include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the proposal may be determined to be "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award.
