ELECTRONIC BIDS

(a) Definition:

Electronic bid, as used in this provision, means a bid, revision or modification of a bid, or withdrawal of a bid that is transmitted to and received by the Government via email or other means for transmitting electronic data. No flash drives will be accepted.

(b) Offerors must submit electronic bids in responses to this solicitation in order to be considered for award. Electronic bids are subject to the same rules as paper bids.

(c) If any portion of bid received by the Contracting Officer is unreadable to the degree that conformance to the essential requirements of the solicitation cannot be ascertained from the document.

(1) The Contracting Officer shall immediately notify the offeror and permit the offeror to resubmit the bid if the bid has been received prior to due date indicated in the solicitation.

(2) The method and time for resubmission shall by prescribed by the Contracting Officer after consultation with the offeror.

(d) The Government reserves the right to make award solely on the electronic bid. However, if requested to do so by the Contracting Officer, the apparently successful offeror shall submit the complete original signed bid.

(e) The Offeror's bid shall be submitted electronically, as described below. The use of hyperlinks in the bid is prohibited. The offeror's bid is due no later than 1:00 PM (EDT) on 26 August 2 September 2025.

NOTE: The only authorized transmission method of bids in response to the subject solicitation is electronically via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) website. No other transmission methods, such as email, facsimile, hand-carried, proprietary or DOD SAFE submissions, bids submitted by mail, etc. will be accepted. Offers submitted via any other transmission method other than the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) website will not be evaluated.

k3ctcmcc Cross-Out k3ctcmcc Cross-Out

The Offeror's bid must be received by the Government no later than the date/time specified in the solicitation and cited above. Offerors shall submit their bid using the following link: https://piee.eb.mil/

Instructions for submitting electronic bids:

In an effort to reduce paperwork and cost, all bids shall be submitted electronically through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) website.

Electronic copies of each volume shall be submitted through the Solicitation Module of PIEE at https://piee.eb.mil. If there is a system outage, see below. All bids received after the exact time specified for receipt shall be treated as late submissions.

For instructions on how to post an offer, please refer to the Posting Offer demo: https://pieetraining.eb.mil /wbt/sol/Posting_Offer.pdf.

It is the Offeror's responsibility to obtain written confirmation of receipt of all electronic files of the full bid by the Contracting office. The submission date for all Volumes shall be no later than the date and time specified in Block 13 of the SF 1442 of the Solicitation. In the unlikely event the PIEE system is not operational, experiences technical difficulties, or a Contractor is temporarily unable to access or use the system, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer. This Notification must occur prior to the bid submission deadline. Contractor notification shall be in writing and may be in conjunction with verbal notification, but verbal notification alone shall not be sufficient.

The alternate method for bid submission is via expedited delivery or hand-carried. The Offeror must obtain prior approval from the Contracting Officer to use the alternate submission method. The Contractor shall have 24 hours to provide their bid upon contracting officer approval. In the event that the Contractor alleges technical difficulties and does not notify the contracting officer until after the closing date and time, the contracting officer will follow the procedures identified in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and then make a determination if the Contractor's late bid submission is accepted.

Screen shots of the submission should be taken to validate a submission was accepted in the PIEE system. You are limited to five (5) maximum files per upload (total size cannot exceed 2GB). If you have a large number of files, it is recommended that you combine or ZIP your files before uploading to the PIEE site. Offerors may use compression utility software such as WinZip or PKZip to reduce file size and facilitate transmission.

File Description:

To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention. Each file name shall begin with the solicitation number, followed by the word "RESPONSE", followed by your firm's name and finally a brief file description.

EXAMPLE:

"W912EP25BA009 RESPONSE FIRM NAME.pdf"

File Organization, Formatting, and other instructions:

Each file shall be clearly indexed and logically assembled. Font size shall be 10 or larger. Pages shall be letter sized--larger page sizes (such as 11x17 foldouts, etc.) will be counted as two pages. Offerors shall prepare bids in the English language. Bids shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the bid follows the order and format of the factors. Information presented should be organized so as to pertain to only the evaluation factor in the section that the information is presented. Information pertaining to more than one evaluation factor should be repeated in each section for each factor.

Include a "File Description" for each file(s) you upload. The "File Description" will be included in the email notice to each of the recipients you choose to have access your file(s).

NOTE: Do NOT enter Privacy Act Data (Personal Identification Information (PII)) in the File Description.)

Upload Completion & Deadline:

Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date cited above. Offerors should time their upload effort with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes--this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process. Submissions after the deadline may be emailed to Contract Specialist Meredith Coad at (Meredith.C.Coad@usace.army.mil) but be advised, they will be considered late and as such, will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208.

Submission shall be in Adobe PDF format.

Receipt of Submission:

For the purposes of establishing whether a bid submission is considered timely, the Government considers the date and time the submission is completely uploaded into the PIEE website. For multiple submissions, the Government will consider the date and time the last submission is completely uploaded into the PIEE website. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous. It can take several minutes or even hours in some cases. The Government will not be responsible for submissions delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive bids. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that offers are submitted so as to reach the designated recipient. Offerors are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the offer to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.

3.1 PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES

For contract work, comply with all applicable Federal, State, or local

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 10 laws and regulations. The environmental resources within the project boundaries and those affected outside the limits of permanent work under this Contract will be protected at least during the entire period of this Contract. Confine activities to areas defined by the drawings and specifications. Environmental protection is to be as stated in the following subparagraphs.

3.1.1 General Project Environmental Design and Installation Criteria

Some project sites have features that must not be impacted in any way, including cultural, historic, or archeological features. At all sites, minimize disturbance to existing features at the site to the extent possible, including vegetative, topographic, and drainage pattern features. Wetland, seagrass or hardbottoms impacts (temporary access, detours, staging areas, and other work area impacts) to project sites should be avoided and may require separate permitting action. Any wetlands temporarily impacted are to have its soil restored upon project completion. Expansion of previously permitted project footprints may likewise require separate permitting action.

In all cases, the installation of temporary systems to aid construction will provide for protection of the environment during handling, installing, storing, utilizing, transporting, servicing, testing, refilling, transferring, pumping, processing, removing waste products, repairing and maintaining systems and their components. Necessary protection is to also be considered that would prevent contamination of the environment from impacts to the systems caused by storm water runoff and flooding. Retrofit of temporary systems on project sites to modern environmental protection design standards will also be considered.

In the event environmental protection measures fail, implement procedures to control and correct environmental damage. Coordinate with the Contracting Officer if environmental protection measures fail.

3.1.1.1 Sewage-Based Systems Environmental Design and Installation Criteria

In general, there will be no waste or debris discharges of any kind for a project unless authorized by the Contracting Officer. This is to include the Contractor's providing sufficient temporary sanitary equipment and facilities for the project. The design and/or installation of temporary or permanent sewage systems are to ensure that waters will be free of effects of sewage discharges. Adhere to Federal, State, or local codes and requirements regarding sewage in the design, such as those of the EPA and, in the case of the State, Chapter 62-620 (Wastewater Facilities) of the FAC. Adhere to Best Management Practices from the applicable agencies in the design.

3.1.2 Protection of Land Resources

Prior to the beginning of any construction, identify all land resources to be preserved or avoided within the work area. Remove materials displaced into not cleared areas. Do not remove, cut, deface, injure, or destroy land resources including trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, topsoil, and land forms without special permission from the Contracting Officer. Engage a qualified tree surgeon to perform all tree surgery. Repair injuries to bark, trunk, branches, and roots of protected trees by dressing, cutting, and painting as specified for Class I Fine Pruning, of the National Arborist Association Pruning Standards for Shade Tree or as per State's Agricultural Extension Agency Guidelines, immediately as occurrences

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 11 arise. No ropes, cables, or guys are to be fastened to or attached to any trees for anchorage unless specifically authorized. Where such special emergency use is permitted, provide effective protection for land and vegetation resources at all times as defined in the following subparagraphs.

3.1.2.1 Work Area Limits

Prior to any construction, mark the areas that are not required to accomplish all work to be performed under this Contract. Mark or fence isolated areas within the general work area to be saved and protected.

Protect existing trees designated to remain. Provide protection of tree roots against noxious materials in solution caused by run-off or spillage. Fires are to be located outside the canopy of protected trees.

Do not store materials, trailers, or equipment within the drip line of any protected tree. Protect monuments and markers before construction operations commence. Where construction operations are to be conducted during darkness, the markers will be visible. Convey to personnel the purpose of marking and/or protection of all necessary objects.

3.1.2.2 Contractor Facilities and Other Work Areas

Locate facilities, staging and other work areas as indicated in Section 01 50 02 TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES, and in compliance with permits listed in the paragraph PERMITS AND AUTHORIZATIONS above and obtained for performance of work. Manage borrow or dredge material management (DMMA) areas to minimize erosion and to prevent sediment from entering nearby watercourses, wetlands, or lakes. Manage and control dredged material areas to limit spoil intrusion into areas designated on the drawings and to prevent erosion of soil or sediment from entering nearby watercourses, wetlands, or lakes. Develop dredged material areas in accordance with the grading plan indicated on the drawings. Control temporary excavation and embankments for plant and/or work areas to protect adjacent areas from despoilment. If there is suspicion that sediment may be unsuitable for disposal at a specified location, immediately take measures to contain the suspect sediment and notify the Contracting Officer.

3.1.2.3 Solid Wastes

The Contracting Officer will approve the type of solid waste containers, staging areas on land for these containers, the roads to haul the solid waste, and the final solid waste disposal site. In addition, comply with Federal, State and local regulations pertaining to the use of the solid waste disposal site.

Place solid wastes (excluding clearing debris) in containers which are emptied on a regular schedule. Conduct handling and disposal to prevent contamination.

3.1.2.4 Fuel, Oil, and Lubricants

Manage fuel, oil, and lubricants in order to prevent spills and evaporation. Provide a 4-foot square, 16-gauge metal pan with borders banded up and welded at corners right below the bibb for fuel dispensers to prevent spills. Edges of the pans are to be 8-inch minimum in depth to ascertain that no contamination of the ground takes place. Clean pans by an approved method immediately after every dispensing of fuel and wastes disposed of offsite in an approved area. If any spilling of fuel occurs, immediately recover the contaminated ground and dispose of it offsite in

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 12 an approved area. Store petroleum waste generated in marked corrosion-resistant containers and recycled or disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR 279, State, and local regulations. Any fueling operation is to be conducted such that any accidental spills will be prevented from entering surface waters or wetlands.

For any fuel stored onsite overnight at the project work site in excess of 550 gallons, whether attached to a tractor trailer or not, the fuel storage area/fuel dispensing area is to be located within a bermed and if practical impervious lined area. If directed by the Contracting Officer, at no additional cost to the government, a fuel storage system with less than 550 gallons may be required to be within a bermed area. The bermed area must be sized to be able to contain the maximum amount of fuel stored on site and be sloped to allow access/egress to the vehicles being fueled at this location. Fueling operations, to the maximum extent practical, are to be conducted within this bermed/lined fuel storage area. These preventive measures to contain potential spills must be taken by the contractor at no additional cost to the government. If the construction activity is close to an OFW, the fuel storage bermed area must be lined unless this is not practical The COR may determine if other measures are necessary to prevent any fuel spills from entering nearby surface water/wetlands, and these additional actions will be required of the contractor at no additional cost to the government. Any fueling operation must be manned 100% of the time to ensure a rapid response to any potential fuel spillage. The fuel storage container is to be protected from vandalism by appropriate security measures which could include a fenced area with a lockable gate with high security locks on the gate and/or high security locks on the fuel dispensing equipment. These security measures are to be provided by the contractor at no additional cost to the government. The appropriate level of security measures are to be determined by the COR as appropriate to the individual job location.

For fuel stored at the job site in tanks less than 550 gallons, the COR may determine a secondary containment/and or double walled tank be required at no additional cost to the government.

3.1.2.5 Hazardous Waste

Hazardous wastes are defined in 40 CFR 261. Ensure that hazardous wastes are stored and disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR 261 and State and local regulations. Ensure that hazardous wastes are packed, labeled, and transported in accordance with 49 CFR 173 and State and local regulations.

3.1.2.6 Hazardous Materials

Ensure that hazardous materials are labeled, stored, and transported in accordance with 49 CFR 173, State and local regulations.

3.1.2.7 Disposal of Other Materials

Handle other materials than previously discussed (Construction and Demolition, vegetative waste, etc.) as directed by the Contracting Officer.

3.1.3 Preservation and Recovery of Historic, Archeological, and Cultural Resources

3.1.3.1 Applicable Law

A number of Federal laws require protection of cultural resources. Two laws, in particular, can be potentially involved with construction

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 13 activities: (1) the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended; and,

(2) the Abandoned Shipwreck Act.

3.1.3.2 Known Resources

If known historic, archeological, and cultural resources within the Contractor's work area(s) are present, it will be designated as an avoidance area on the contract drawings or other documents. If so designated, install protection for these resources and preserve during the Contract's duration. Do not dredge, spud, or anchor within the designated avoidance area. Do not distribute maps or other information on these resource locations except for distribution among the Contractor's staff with a need to know technical responsibility for protecting the resources.

3.1.3.3 Inadvertent Discoveries

If, during construction activities, items that may have historic or archaeological origin are observed, such observations are to be reported immediately to the Contracting Officer so that the USACE Project Archaeologist may be notified. Cease all activities adjacent to the discovery that may result in the destruction of these resources and prevent employees from further removing, or otherwise damaging, such resources. Once reported, USACE Project Archaeologist will initiate coordination with the appropriate federal, tribal and state agencies to determine if archaeological investigation is required. Additional work in the area of the discovery will be suspended at the site until all federal and state regulations have been successfully completed and the USACE staff members provide further directive. Project activities in the vicinity of the discovery may not resume until the Contracting Officer approves work to proceed.

The possibility of encountering submerged cultural resources is inherent in dredging and snagging operations. Such findings could include shipwrecks, shipwreck debris fields (such as steam engine parts, or wood planks and beams), anchors, ballast rock, concreted iron objects, concentrations of coal, prehistoric watercraft (such as log dugouts), and other structural features intact or displaced. The materials may be deeply buried in sediment, resting in shallow sediments or above them, or protruding into water.
