7.0 SECURITY

7.1 General security requirements and guidance: The security requirements described below apply to all contract personnel (including employees of the prime Contractor (“Contractor”) and all subcontractor employees) supporting the performance requirements of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative. Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations. Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures—this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

7.2 Physical security and access control requirements: All contract personnel requiring physical access to a federal installation or facility shall comply with the access control procedures of that location. Contract personnel requiring unescorted access to meet contract performance requirements on a DoD installation in the US shall be vetted by the installation/facility Provost Marshal/Directorate of Emergency Services/Security Office using the National Crime Information Center-Interstate Identification Index (commonly referred to as “NCIC-III”) and Terrorist Screening Database (commonly referred to as “TSDB”). Contract personnel shall comply with all personal identity verification requirements specified in installation/facility policies and procedures. Contract personnel who do not meet requirements for unescorted access to USACE facilities shall coordinate escorted access with the Government representative, as needed. Contract personnel who receive keys, access cards, or lock combinations that provide access to government-owned property shall comply with key and lock control procedures of the RA.

8.0 SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY

BID SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

BID SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRONIC BID SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS – Incorporated as an add text in Section 00 21 00, or if being used for commercial acquisitions, add text after the last page:

Bidders shall submit their bids via email to the following individuals by no later than the date and time established in Block 9 of the Standard Form (SF) 33, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable:

Richard Harvey, Contract Specialist: Richard.a.harvey@usace.army.mil Each email shall contain the following information:

Solicitation No. W912EF23B0004 Bid Due Date and Time: 13 April 2023, 10:00 A.M.

Bid Validity Date:

Bids received after the date and time stated within Block 9 of the SF33, 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. Bids, or portions thereof, submitted with the presence of a virus or which are otherwise unreadable will be treated as unreadable pursuant to FAR 15.207(c).

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 9 of SF 33, or SF 30 as applicable.

Electronic submission of bids satisfies the requirement set forth in Block 9 of the SF 33 (‘…in original and copies…”). Additionally, electronic submission of the bid guarantee, when a bid guarantee is required, is due with the bid submission. Mailing a bid guarantee for submission is not allowed.

BID OPENING

Bidders are advised there will NOT be a physical bid opening held for this invitation for bids. The bid opening will be held telephonically via conference call at 11:00 am on the date bids are due (Email will be sent out to all bidders).

Due to the requirement that bids be submitted electronically only, the bid opening is scheduled to take place one hour following the bid due date and time in order to allow the contracting office time to download all bid documents submitted. The USACE Walla Walla District will not accept any hard copy documentation submitted in response to this invitation for bids.

Bidders wishing to participate in the telephonic bid opening shall email a list of participants to both Contracting Officer: brooke.m.moore@usace.army.mil and Contract Specialist: Richard.a.harvey@usace.army.mil no later than the close of business 24 hours prior to the bid due date and time. Please reference “IFB Number and Title” in the email subject line. A responsive email will be sent to the bidder which will include confirmation of the list of participants, the conference call-in telephone number, and the security passcode for participants to utilize for the telephonic bid opening.

The results of the bid opening will be posted to https://sam.gov/content/home
