NOTES:

(a) THIS PROCUREMENT IS 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE.

This MATOC contract will be awarded based on evaluation factors mentioned in this announcement. The prices entered in the Offer schedule will be used as one of the evaluation factors for the MATOC selection. A schedule of the unit price work is contained in Standard Form SF 1442, "Solicitation, Offer and Award."

The above Bid Schedule is to be filled out by the Offeror and will be used by the Government for evaluation purposes and may be used to award to award the Task Order for FLOOD

CONTROL, MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, WEST BANK MISSISSIPPI

RIVER LEVEES, YUCATAN TO LAKE BRUIN, LOUISIANA, LEVEE

ENLARGEMENT AND BERMS, ITEM 398-R, PHASE I. Each Task Order issued under the resulting contract will contain a separate Offer Schedule. Each Offer Schedule will be project specific for each Task Order.

(b) All technical inquiries and questions relating to this solicitation are to be submitted via Bidder Inquiry in ProjNet at http://www.projnet.org/projnet. See Section 00100 Paragraph 13 Entitled “TECHNICAL INQUIRIES AND QUESTIONS”.

(c) Lack of registration in the SAM database will make a bidder ineligible for award. SEE CONTRACT CLAUSE 52.204-7 ENTITLED "System for Award Management”.

(d) Bidders shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items which require unit prices. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required items, but does furnish an extended total or an estimated amount for such items, the Government will deem his unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended estimated amount for that line item by the quantity. IF THE BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE

EXTENDED ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, HIS BID WILL BE DECLARED

NONRESPONSIVE.

(e) All quantities shown on the BIDDING SCHEDULE are estimated quantities except when the unit of measure is shown as "job" (JB) or "each". For Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and FAR supplement reference purposes, ‘job’ can be used in the place of ‘lump sum’.

(f) If a bid or modification to a bid based on unit price is submitted which provides for a “job” adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the “job” adjustment to the unit price in the schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the “job” adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the unit price in the Bid Schedule.

(h) All extensions of the unit price shown will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of variation between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will be considered to be the bid.

(i) The Contractor should be aware of the additional surveying requirements for this contract.

See Section 01 00 00.00 09 for more information.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.
