Section 00 21 16 - Instructions to Proposers

DEFINTIVE RESPONSIBILITY

Definitive Responsibility Criteria

Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC) are specific and objective standards established to inform the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination in accordance with FAR 9.104-2.

These criteria assess whether the apparent low bidder can demonstrate the expertise and specialized facilities needed for adequate contract performance. Accordingly, in addition to examining whether a prospective contractor meets the general standards of responsibility in FAR 9.104-1, the Contracting Officer will also examine whether the low bidder can meet the requirements of ALL of the following three (3) definitive responsibility criteria. The apparent low bidder will be required to furnish documentation of project experience performed within the last ten (10) years.

The documentation furnished to meet these definitive responsibility criteria shall demonstrate project experience, within the last ten (10) years, for each of the following three (3) requirements:

1. Management of Water in a Riverine Environment. Experience includes construction “in the wet” where care and diversion of water was required for a river or tributary stream and management of flood risk during construction was required. This experience can include: design, fabrication and/or construction of temporary water management facilities using trenches, diversion channels, berms, levees, cofferdams, sheet pilings, or dewatering systems; bridge or culvert construction or replacement; implementing temporary fish exclusion or fish passage; and incorporating any other necessary supporting features to protect fish and water quality during construction. The work must have been performed so that conditions were not worsened upstream or downstream by possible floods during construction. (Reference: Division 01 General Requirements Specification Section 01 56 00 Care and Diversion of Water and Section 35 44 00 In-Stream and Floodplain Habitat Construction.)

2. Experience with channel stabilization and armoring. Experience includes construction of or repair to a levee and its revetment or prism, and/or construction of or repair to a channel or stream bank. This can be the setting back of a levee and removal of a pre-existing levee, placement of armoring rock, and/or bank stabilization.

3. Experience with earthwork – excavation, fill and grading. The volumes of excavated, stockpiled, and placed material are quite high in this project and require an understanding of how to efficiently handle large volumes. Experience excavating at least 10,000 cubic yards (CY) of material in a single job and installation of at least 10,000 CY of material in a single job.

Experience includes import or sorting of materials prior to placement as well as grading and compaction to meet specifications. Experience also includes the creation of side channels and the diversion of water to these new features. (Reference: Division 31 Earthwork Specification Section 31 00 00 for this project’s earthwork requirements.)

Project experience can be demonstrated by either accomplishing all three (3) requirements discussed above under a single project or by the accomplishment of all requirements through a combination of projects.

The prime contractor and/or subcontractor identified in the submitted documentation shall be the same as the proposed prime contractor and/or subcontractor for the current solicitation.

The apparent low bidder will have two (2) working days after bid opening to submit the documentation demonstrating that it meets the above definitive responsibility criteria. If the low bidder meets these requirements, it will receive award of the contract if otherwise eligible and responsible. If the apparent low bidder cannot provide this documentation or if the documentation it submits does not show that it meets these criteria, and the Small Business Administration does not issue a Certificate of Competency (in accordance with FAR 19.6) for the contract to be awarded, the Government will request that the apparent next low bidder provide the required documentation. If the prospective contractor provides the requested documentation within two (2) working days of the Government’s request, it will receive award of the contract if otherwise eligible and responsible. This process will be followed until a low bidder that meets the requirements of the solicitation can document that it meets the definitive responsibility criteria, or the Government cancels the solicitation.
