(See the Attention to Bidders form included in this solicitation.) In accordance with FAR 9.104-1, to be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must –

(a) Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them;

(b) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments;

(c) Have a satisfactory performance record. (A prospective contractor shall not be determined responsible or nonresponsible solely on the basis of a lack of relevant performance history except as provided in FAR 9.104-2);

(e) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them;

ELECTRONIC BID SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Bidders shall submit their bids via email to the following individuals by no later than the date and time established in Block 13 of the Standard Form (SF) 1442, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable:

Jani Long, Contracting Officer Jani.C.Long@usace.army.mil Charlene Duncan, Contract Specialist charlene.c.duncan@usace.army.mil

Each email shall contain the following information:

Solicitation No. W912EF21B0009 Bid Due Date and Time: June 22, 2021 at 2:00 p.m.

Bid Validity Date: August 21, 2021 (60 days from the bid due date)

Bids received after the date and time stated within Block 13 of the SF1442, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable, will be considered late and will not be considered for award. To avoid rejection of a bid, the offeror must make every effort to ensure its electronic submission is virus-free.

Bidders should enter a description for every file submitted. For files over 20 megabytes (MB) the bidders shall break the file into smaller files sent via separate emails with each email marked to identify which number the email is relative to the total number of emails submitted (i.e. “email one of four”). Once all of the emails submitted have been received the Government will confirm receipt via responsive email. If a bidder submits multiple bids the Government will only consider the last bid submitted prior to the bid due date and time.

Do not assume submission will be instantaneous. File size and number of files submitted shall be considered.

Bidder/Teammate/Subcontractors should allow adequate time for submission completion because the entire bid (i.e.

bidders’ submission and all teammate/subcontractor(s) independent submissions) must be received by the bid due date and time specified in Block 13 of SF 1442, or SF 30 as applicable.

Electronic submission of bids satisfies the requirement set forth in Block 13A of the SF 1442 (‘…in original and 0 copies…”).
