SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 10 00 - SOLICITATION

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 2

1. When does USACE anticipate the date of award?

A1: The Government would like to issue contract award as early as practicable, anticipated in the August- September timeframe but is subject to change at the government’s discretion.

2. Specification section 01 11 00 (Summary of Work) states; “The work is anticipated to be performed within the approximate time period of August 2024 - February 2025.” This represents a span of 7 months for a bid that is a 57-day project (plus 58 days if the option is awarded). The USACE NY District has/is issuing multiple dredging projects that all have ambiguous performance periods. By not providing explicit detail on the required performance period, the USACE NY District is inadvertently not providing for Full and Open Competition as required by FARS Part 6.0. A single contractor could perform more than one of the projects, but with the lack of detail for the performance period, a responsible contractor should only assume they can perform one of the projects. As increased competition provides better pricing to the government, the lack of a more specific Notice-to-Proceed date unduly restricts the very competition that the FARS Clause 6 was written to provide the government.

• Please provide a specific Notice-to-Proceed date, so that contractors can appropriately schedule their equipment and participate in multiple NY District dredging bids, thus providing for Increased, Full and Open Competition with the maximum level of bidder participation.

A2: The Government would like to issue Notice to Proceed as early as practicable, anticipated in the September-October timeframe but is subject to change at the government’s discretion.

***No other Requests for Information will be accepted.***
