ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF BIDS:

The bid shall be submitted electronically to https://safe.apps.mil/. The receipt date for bid submittal must not be later than 27 January 2021 at 2:00pm EST. The bid shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks in bids is prohibited.

NOTE: Notice of Intent to submit a bid must be submitted to Ivan V. Damaso ivan.v.damaso2@usace.army.mil, and Nicholas P. Emanuel nicholas.p.emanuel@usace.army.mil two (2) days before the bids are due. PLEASE

SUBMIT TO BOTH EMAILS.

Bids received on https://safe.apps.mil/ after the bid due date and time will be considered late.

It is recommended that bidders submit their bids at least 2 hours or more before 27 January 2021 at 2:00pm EST to allow enough time for the bid to be uploaded. Please note that bidders do not need to wait until the day of bid due date to submit their bids.

The only authorized transmission method for the bid in response to this solicitation is electronically via SAFE online submission. NO OTHER TRANSMISSION METHODS (EMAIL, FACSIMILE, REGULAR MAIL, HAND CARRIED, ETC.) WILL BE ACCEPTED.

The bid must be received by the Government by the date/time specified -- 27 January 2021 at 2:00pm EST. Bidders shall submit their bids using the following link: https://safe.apps.mil/.

NOTE: Problems accessing the DoD SAFE site by external (non-CAC) users are typically due to SSL and/or client certificate issues. If a firm receives a warning about a problem with the website's security certificate, this is because its browser is not configured to trust the DoD certificate authorities. The user can either import the DoD certificate authorities by following the instructions in the DoD PKI PMO's guide on Install Root or they can accept the risk and click on the option to continue to the website. For problems accessing the DoD SAFE site by non-CAC users, go to https://safe.apps.mil/about.php.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING ELECTRONIC BIDS:

In an effort to reduce paperwork and cost, all bids shall be submitted electronically through the SAFE site. Submission shall be in Adobe PDF format. You are limited to five (5) maximum files per upload (total size cannot exceed 2GB). If you have a large number of files, it is recommended that you combine or ZIP your files before uploading to the SAFE site. Bidders may use compression utility software such as WinZip or PKZip to reduce the file size and facilitate transmission.

REQUEST FOR UPLOAD:

Bidders must email Ivan V. Damaso ivan.v.damaso2@usace.army.mil, and Nicholas P. Emanuel nicholas.p.emanuel@usace.army.mil no later than two (2) working days prior to the bid due date to receive a request link which will allow for file uploads via the SAFE site. Bidders that fail to email for this request two (2) working days before bid submission date may not be able to receive a request link in time to upload their submission. Two (2) working days before bid submission ends on 25 January 2021 at 5:00pm.

FILE DESCRIPTION:

Include a “File Description” for each file(s) you upload. The “File Description” will be included in the email notice to each of the recipients you choose to have access to your file(s). NOTE: Do NOT enter Privacy Act Data (Personal Identification Information (PII)) in the File Description.

Submission shall be in Adobe PDF format.

INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW ON THE SAFE WEBSITE:

1. Once at the SAFE website, select the “Drop-Off” icon. This allows users without a CAC or users whose computer is not configured to read a CAC the option to access the SAFE site as a guest.

2. After selecting the “Click Here” link, you will be prompted to add your personal information, file information, recipient (Government representative) information and email settings.

3. When completing your file information for transmittal via the SAFE website, you will be required to enter the email address for all recipients. For this solicitation, the recipients are the Contract Specialist and the Contracting Officer. The Contract Specialist for this solicitation is Ivan V. Damaso ivan.v.damaso2@usace.army.mil, and the Contracting Officer is Nicholas P.

Emanuel nicholas.p.emanuel@usace.army.mil. The email address of the Government employee who initiated the request link will be automatically entered. The bidder must enter the email address for both the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist listed above. The bidder can enter an additional email address if desired. After entering the email address, click the ADD button to add the person(s’) email to the “Recipients List” of your response. When your bid is submitted, a notification will be sent to the recipients that you added.

NOTE: Do NOT send the SAFE site packages to group email accounts. Even if you successfully upload your bid to the SAFE site, notification will not be sent to the Government recipients until you verify your email address. Entering an incorrect email may result in the rejection of your submission for lateness. A bidder can confirm proper submission by the “Drop-Off Completed” screen which generates based on proper file submission.

NOTE: It has been reported that documents are more quickly uploaded into the SAFE website when using a Firefox web browser. The Government cannot verify this report and offers no guarantee that bidders will have more success utilizing any particular browser.

RECEIPT OF SUBMISSIONS:

For purposes of establishing whether a bid submission is considered timely, the Government considers the date and time the submission is completely uploaded into the SAFE website. For bids larger than the 2GB capacity of the SAFE website and require multiple submissions, the Government will consider the date and time the last submission is completely uploaded into the SAFE website. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous. It can take several minutes or even hours in some cases. The Government will not be responsible for submissions delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive bids.

Bidders are responsible for ensuring that bids are submitted so as to reach the designated recipient. Bidders are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the bid to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.
