NOTES:

(a) THIS PROCUREMENT IS A 100%, WOMAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE.

(b) 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”.

(c) 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.

(d) 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’.

(e) 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.

(f) 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.

(g) Award will be made as a whole to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder as may be in the best interest of the Government.

(h) THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF1442.

The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within seven (7) calendar days after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.
