THIS PROCUREMENT IS:

100% set-aside for Small Business

SITE VISIT

The purpose of the site visit is to familiarize Offerors with the scope of work and provide an opportunity to become familiar with the existing site conditions. It is the intent of the Government that all prospective Offerors visit the jobsite for the purpose of acquainting themselves with local conditions. Non-technical questions will be addressed; however, ALL technical questions regarding the solicitation will be submitted via ProjNet, a web-based program that allows Offerors to post questions regarding the solicitation and to view all questions by other Offerors and answers by USACE. Attendance at the site visit is strongly recommended.

Two organized site visits have been scheduled as follows:

Thursday, 8 December 2016, at 11:00 a.m., local time

Tuesday, 20 December 2016, at 2:00 p.m., local time

Participants will meet at:

Chief Joseph Dam – Commons Building Highway 17 and Pearl Hill Road Bridgeport, WA

To obtain access to the Commons Building, site visit participants will need to use the call button at Security and indicate they are attending the solicitation site visit for Chief Joseph Dam Spillway Gate Lifecycle Maintenance. Once through the gate, participants will proceed straight ahead to the security guard station, where they will need to present valid ID to the security officer. When allowed, site visit participants shall proceed to the Commons Building and meet in a conference room, location to be provided upon arrival. After the pre-site visit logistics briefing in the conference room, participants will be transported via Government van to and from the project work area for the site visit.

Due to Security requirements and limited field staff available for site visits, only two site visits will be offered. Individual requests for site visits will not be granted. Offerors should visit the site and take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and the general and local conditions which can affect the work or the cost thereof. Failure to do so shall not relieve Offerors from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work. The Government shall assume no responsibility for any understanding or representations concerning conditions made by any of its officers or agents prior to the execution of the contract, unless included in the Solicitation, specifications/plans, or related documents.

Each individual must have valid government picture identification on his/her person while at the project site. There can be no substitutions of one individual for another. If an individual arrives at the site visit without having RSVP’d ahead of time and/or without picture identification, that individual may not be allowed on the project.

Hardhats, hard toed boots, and safety reflective vests are required. Cameras will not be allowed.

However, the Government will bring a camera and take pictures as requested, to be reviewed and approved by the security officer prior to release. All participants will be required to sign an attendance list.

Due to new foreign disclosure requirements, non U.S. citizens will be unable to attend the site visit(s) for this project. Please contact Ms. Lisa Scott at the above email address if you have any questions.

1. 5

Selection and Award without Discussions: It is the intent of the Government to make award based upon initial offers, without further discussions or additional information. Therefore, submit your proposal on the most favorable terms from a technical standpoint. Do not assume you will have an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise your proposal.

If award is not possible from initial offers, the Contracting Officer may establish a competitive range prior to either written and/or oral (i.e. telephonic) discussions with all Offerors in the competitive range.

As a result, Offerors may be asked to revise their initial offers. If an Offeror’s proposal is eliminated or otherwise removed from the competitive range during discussions, further revisions to that Offeror’s proposal will neither be accepted nor considered. Discussions will culminate in a request for a Final Proposal Revision (FPR), the date and time of which will be provided to all Offerors.

After discussions and the subsequent receipt of FPRs, the Source Selection Evaluation Board will evaluate supplemental information provided by Offerors and adjust previously assigned technical ratings.

Selection and Award: Contract award will be made to the responsible Offeror submitting the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offer in accordance with FAR Part 15 procedures. The Government reserves the right to reject all offers.

Debriefings:

Pre-award: Offerors excluded from the competition before award will receive a notice and may request a debriefing before award by submitting a written request for a debriefing to the Contracting Officer within three (3) calendar days after receipt of the notice of exclusion from the competition. (FAR 15.505)

Post-award: Unsuccessful Offerors may request a post-award debriefing within three (3) calendar days after the date on which the Offeror received notification of contract award. There will be no point-by-point comparisons with other Offerors’ proposals and debriefings will not reveal any information that is not releasable under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
