SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 21 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS

The following have been modified:

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

A. PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS (SECTION 00 21 16)

For clarity, the addressed section shall reference the Solicitation. The identified sections are in accordance with (IAW) the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) pursuant to the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers Desk Guide (UDG) 5114.201-1.

Section 00 21 16 of the Solicitation (Request for Proposal (RFP)) contains the proposal submission instructions. Section 00 21 16 includes specific information on what must be furnished with the offer and identifies evaluation criteria that will be used in evaluating proposals received. Section 00 22 16 contains the basis of award and evaluation methods/ratings.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. The Solicitation is an unrestricted full and open competitive acquisition using the

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36, Construction and Architect- Engineer Contracts, and FAR 15.101-1, Tradeoff Source Selection Process (i.e., Best Value Tradeoff). One solicitation will be issued for the acquisition consisting of a Request for Proposal (RFP) pursuant to FAR 15.101-2 best-value tradeoff (BVTO) source selection process to award an Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC) contract.

1.2. Pursuant to Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)

236.204, the magnitude of construction is over $500 million.

1.3. The primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the acquisition is 237990 – Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.

Small Business Size Standard of $45 million.

1.4. Selection will be made based on the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the Solicitation requirements, demonstrating high technical capability and low risk, presenting the most advantageous offer to the Government. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest-priced offer or to reject all proposals.

1.5. The Government shall not reimburse any cost incurred or associated with preparing and submitting any responses to the Solicitation. Oral explanations or instructions to Offerors are not binding. Any information given to an Offeror which impacts the Solicitation and/or offers will be provided in the form of a written amendment to the Solicitation. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to acknowledge all amendments in its proposal submission.

1.6. The Offeror shall not modify the terms and conditions of the Solicitation in their technical proposals or add conditions or qualifications to their offers. If an Offeror include terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Solicitation, the Offeror may be determined ineligible for award. Any questions related to specific terms and conditions contained within the Solicitation should be resolved prior to the submission of an offer.

1.7. All proposals received will be considered complete and final. The evaluation board will not consider any information or data incorporated by reference or referred to other sources outside the respective proposal volumes and factors responses. The successful Offeror will be selected solely based on the stated evaluation factors. Accordingly, proposals submitted in response to the Solicitation should provide clear, complete, concise, and straightforward responses to the evaluation factors. Elaborate proposals, color brochures, and other excesses are discouraged.

1.8. Proposals that reiterate “Parroting” the contents of the Solicitation, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications demonstrating and supporting the Offeror’s claims is essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal.

1.9. References to “confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can be provided to the Government as part of the Offeror’s technical proposal.

The Offeror including confidential information in its proposal that they do not want to be disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall clearly mark their proposals IAW the instructions at FAR Clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors –Competitive Acquisition, paragraph (e), Restriction on disclosure and use of data.

1.10. Use of the words “shall” or “must” indicate a mandatory requirement for which failure to comply at the time and date for submission of proposals may result in the Offeror’s proposal being disqualified from consideration for the award, or a deficiency or weakness being assessed for the factor. Failure to comply with non-pricing or pricing requirements annotated with the words “should” or “may” can result in an unacceptable rating, affecting the Offeror being selected for the contract award. The Government may elect during discussions with Offerors, to provide a means by which appropriate corrections by the Offeror(s) can be made.

If stated as a number of days, time periods are calendar days unless otherwise specified.

1.11. Project Labor Agreements (PLA) Executive Order 14063, Use of Project Labor

Agreements for Federal Construction Projects, issued 04 February 2022, provides that it shall be the policy of the Federal Government to use PLAs in connection with large-scale construction projects (defined as projects where the total cost to the Federal Government of the project is at least $35 million (using appropriated funds)) to promote economy and efficiency in Federal procurement.

Offerors shall submit an offer subject to Project Labor Agreement (PLA) requirements IAW FAR 22.504, General requirements for project labor agreements. Any PLA reached pursuant to the PLA requirements in the solicitation does not change the terms of the contract or provide for any price adjustment by the Government.

2. E-BUSINESS REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

2.1. System for Award Management (SAM). The Offeror shall be registered in SAM at the time an offer is submitted. Failure to have an active and completed registration in SAM [https://sam.gov/] may determine an Offeror ineligible for the award and removed from the competition. A successful Offeror with incomplete or expired registrations at the time of award may not be eligible for a contract. In such instances, the Government will award to the next successful Offeror who is eligible for the award. Information contained within an Offeror’s registration shall be current and valid. The responsibility of maintaining current information contained in an Offeror’s registration rests solely on the Offeror.

2.6. Late Proposals. Any proposals, amendments, or revision received by the

Government after the exact time specified for receipt offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the KO determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition, and 1) if it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the Solicitation, and it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure no later than 4:00 PM (Pacific Standard Time), one calendar day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or 2) there is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or 3) it is the only proposal received.

If the Offeror proposes to change subcontractors after award, the Offeror may not change subcontractors or Letter of Commitment (LOC) without the KO’s approval.

2.9. Unsuccessful Offerors will be notified IAW FAR Subpart 15.5.
