SECTION 00 10 00 - SOLICITATION

SECTION 00 21 00 - INSTRUCTIONS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

BIDDERS are required to complete and submit the Standard Form 1442 Back, Bid Schedule, and Section 00 45 00, Representations and Certifications.

PRICE BASIS

Bidders are advised that only bids submitted on a firm price basis will be considered, and that bids submitted on any other than firm price basis will be rejected. (FAR 14.201-2 (a)) NOTE; Bid prices must include all Federal, state, and local taxes in accordance with Contract Clause: FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES.

BID SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Bidders shall submit their bids hard either hard copy or electronically to the following mailing address or email addresses 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.

OFFICE PHONES ARE NOT FOR USE BY BIDDERS ON BID OPENING DAY.

TELEGRAPHIC BID MODIFICATIONS. The Walla Walla District does not have in-house capability of receiving telegrams directly. Offerors wishing to modify their bid/proposal by telegram are urged to ensure that telegrams are submitted in sufficient time to allow for arrival via U.S. Postal service at the Walla Walla District office PRIOR to the time specified in the solicitation for receipt of bids/proposals.

FAXED BIDS, FAXED BID MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Bid price alterations, i.e., crossed-out or white-out changes on the bid will not be accepted unless the change (s) is/are initialed by the person authorized to sign bid package.

ENVELOPE(S), PURSUANT TO FAR 14.201-5

Envelope (s) shall be plainly marked with the following information:

Solicitation No. __________________________________ Opening Date ___________________________________ Number of each amendment acknowledged ___________________________

Attn: Nathan Bruce Contracting Division 201 N 3rd Ave Walla Walla, WA 99362

Or electronically via email:

David Boone, Contracting Officer: david.c.boone@usace.army.mil

Nathan Bruce, Contracting Specialist: nathan.i.bruce@usace.army.mil

Each email shall contain the following information:

Solicitation No. W912EF23B0010 Bid Due Date and Time: June 5, 2023; 2:00PM, Pacific Standard Time Bid Validity Date: (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 bidder must make every effort to ensure the bid is delivered by the date and time specified.

The following additional restrictions apply in the event an electronic form of bid is submitted:

Bidders should enter a description for every file submitted. For files over 8 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 1 copies…”). Additionally, electronic submission of the bid guarantee, when a bid guarantee is required, is due with the bid submission.

a. File Packaging. All the bid files shall be compressed (zipped) into one file entitled bid zip using WinZip version 6.2 or later, or as separate uploads in their native format, i.e., doc, xls, ppt, etc., and provided on CDs or DVDs. Zip disks are not permitted. Files shall be in read-only format, using PDF files. All price breakdown information to aid in the Price evaluation shall be submitted in Microsoft Office Excel Read/Write format. Each disc shall be externally labeled with the volume number, date, and the bidder’s name. **Please note – Self extracting exe files are not acceptable. **

b. Content Requirement. All information shall be confined to the appropriate file. The bidder shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Each file of the proposal shall consist of a Table of Contents, Summary Section, and the Narrative discussion. The Summary Section shall contain a brief abstract of the file. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

BID QUANTITIES

Bids for less than specified quantities of each item in Section 00 10 00 of the Schedule will not be considered.

Failure to submit a unit price for each item where required in the Schedule will be considered as a material deviation from the requirements of the solicitation, and the bid will be rejected. (FAR 14.201-5)

BID OPENING

Bidders are advised there will be a physical bid opening held for this invitation for bids. The bid opening will be held in the Bid Opening Room at 201 N 3rd Ave, Walla Walla WA, 99362, at 2:00 pm on the date bids are due.

Bidders wishing to participate in the bid opening must email a list of participants to both Contracting Officer (david.c.boone@usace.army.mil) and Contract Specialist (nathan.i.bruce@usace.army.mil) no later than the close of business 24 hours prior to the bid due date and time so a list of names can be provided to security.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY

To determine a contractor’s responsibility for purposes of contract award the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and/or plant to be used in performing the work. (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 non-responsible solely on the basis of a lack of relevant performance history except as provided in FAR 9.104-2);

d. Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics;

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

f. Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them; and

g. Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

ARITHMETIC DISCREPENCIES

a. The following will be used in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the bidding schedule as submitted by the bidder:

1. In a discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price stated on the bid schedule will govern;

2. Apparent errors in the extension of unit prices will be corrected;

3. Apparent errors in the addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

b. For the purpose of bid evaluation, the government will proceed on the assumption that the bidder intends his bid to be evaluated on the basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the bid will be so reflected on the abstract of bids.

c. These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which bid is low.
