These questions may have been paraphrased or altered to represent several questions regarding the same subject and/or simply revised to clarify and simplify the question(s). Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors “for information only” and do not revise the solicitation, plans or specifications.

Question 4: Can you please confirm that we will distribute costs based on the hours/units included by the Corps in the "HARS Monitoring Services Prices Schedule" PDF, and that the totals from this "HARS Monitoring Services Prices Schedule" will be used to fill in the total price by year in Section B?

Response 4: Price is to be input based on the line item estimated relative annual units for each portion of the price schedule. Totals would be calculated based on the estimated relative annual price, and actual total contract value may be different from estimated usage.

Question 5: The "Additional Instructions" provided on Page 2 of the RFP refer to proposal schedules (3. Filled out proposal schedule and totals.); can you confirm that this is referring to the "HARS Monitoring Services Prices Schedule" PDF?

Response 5: Item 3 is referring to the HARS Monitoring Services Price Schedule PDF, however offerors are reminded to complete submission of all volumes required by solicitation for a complete proposal package.

Question 6: Can you please confirm that additional labor and/or equipment categories may be added after the contract award, if necessary to address specific work scope(s)?

Response 6: Additional labor and/or equipment categories may be added after the contract award if the government deems it necessary to address specific work scopes.

Question 7: Are chemical analytical laboratory services expected to be contracted under this IDIQ?

Response 7: Chemical analytical laboratory services are not expected to be contracted under this IDIQ.

Question 8: For line item 68 in the Price Schedule excel sheet, please specify which sediment, benthic, tissue analyses are requested.

Response 8: Per Amendment 002, line item 68 is limited to Benthic ID and count. See revised Price Schedule.

Question 9: Should Volume 1 be split into two documents: Factor 1 and 2?

Response 9: No, Volume 1 should consist of a single document containing Factor 1 and 2. Factor 1 will have a 25 page limit, and Factor 2 will have a 25 page limit, with exceptions noted in solicitation.

Question 10: Should we submit the subcontracting plan separate from the subcontractor participation plan?

Response 10: Yes. All offerors are required to submit the subcontractor participation plan. Large businesses are also required to submit a subcontracting plan. These are two separate items to be included in Volume II. The subcontracting plan is not included in the page count.

BID SUBMISSION

The proposal shall be submitted electronically as a pdf document and will provide the Government address and receipt date for the submittal. Proposals must be signed, dated, and completed with prices for all contract line items (CLINs). Offerors are reminded to ensure that online Representations and Certifications in SAM are up to date or may provide completed Representations and Certifications with their proposal. The proposal shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks is prohibited. File size is limited to 25MB per email. It is advised that proposals be submitted via e-mail at least 2 hours in advance to ensure it is submitted timely and uploaded. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that proposals are submitted so as to reach the designated recipients.

The Government will not be responsible for submissions delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive proposals.

If a proposal received at the Government facility by electronic data interchange is unreadable to the degree that conformance to the essential requirements of the solicitation cannot be ascertained, the Contracting Officer immediately shall notify the Offeror that the proposal will be rejected unless the Offeror provides clear and convincing evidence –

(1) Of the content of the proposal as originally submitted; and

(2) That the unreadable condition of the proposal was caused by Government software or hardware error, malfunction, or other Government mishandling.

The resubmission shall be considered as if it were received at the date and time of the original unreadable submission for the purpose of determining timeliness, provided the offeror complies with the time and format requirements for resubmission prescribed by the Contracting Officer.

The Government reserves the right to make award solely on the electronic proposal. However, if requested to do so by the Contracting Officer, the apparently successful offeror promptly shall submit the complete original signed proposal.

Submit proposals no later than 2:00 PM EST on 03 April 2024 via e-mail to: adrian.j.stafford-browne@usace.army.mil and matthew.e.lubiak@usace.army.mil.
