6. BID BONDS

a. This solicitation requires each offeror to submit an acceptable bid guarantee along with its offer (see clause 52.228-1). The Contracting Officer has the authority and responsibility to determine whether the bid bond and its accompanying documentation clearly show that the person(s) executing the bid bond on behalf of the surety have the authority to unequivocally bind the bonding company.

b. One acceptable form of bid guarantee is a bid bond. If a bid bond is used, it must be accompanied by a signed and dated power-of-attorney. If a signed and dated power-of-attorney does not accompany the bid bond, the bid must be rejected as non-responsive. Please note that a non-responsive bid may not be corrected after bid opening to make it responsive – the bid must be rejected. The power-of-attorney must be issued by the surety (the Treasury Department-approved bonding company, not the insurance agency writing the bond).

c. Original powers-of-attorney and photocopies or facsimiles of original, otherwise valid, powers-of-attorney provide sufficient evidence of authority to bind the surety. Questions concerning the authenticity or enforceability of a power-of-attorney may be resolved by the Contracting Officer, often in consultation with the surety, after the bid opening.

d. This note does not provide offerors with an all-inclusive checklist for submitting an acceptable bid bond

– rather, it provides some information regarding recent changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation regarding the validity of powers-of-attorney. The revised regulation may be found at FAR 28.101-3.

e. The revised regulations described in this note are effective for solicitations issued after September 30, 2005.

7. PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS. In accordance with the clause at FAR 52.228-15, “Performance and Payment Bonds – Construction” (Section 00 70 00), prior to commencing any work under the contract, the contractor shall provide: (1) a performance bond (Standard Form 25) in the penal amount of 100 percent of the original contract price; and (2) a payment bond (Standard Form 25-A) in the penal amount of 100 percent of the original contract price. The term of the bonds is the life of the contract.

8. RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINATION. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

Subpart 9.1, the apparent Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offeror will be requested to provide the following information as soon as possible after bid opening:

a. Financial Statements, including balance sheets that identify major categories of assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity; and profit and loss statements for the past three (3) years.

b. A Bank Certification of Financial Capability (line of credit).

This information will be treated as confidential commercial or financial information to the extent permitted by law under exemption 4 to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4). The financial statements should be not over 60 days old.

52.2151 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORSCOMPETITIVE ACQUISITION

(JAN 2004)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals. (1) Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and modifications to proposals shall be submitted in paper media in sealed envelopes or packages (i) addressed to the office specified in the solicitation, and (ii) showing the time and date specified for receipt, the solicitation number, and the name and address of the offeror.

Offerors using commercial carriers should ensure that the proposal is marked on the outermost wrapper with the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this provision.

(2) The first page of the proposal must show--

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(iii) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

(iv) Names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror's behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation; and

(v) Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent's authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing office.

(3) Submission, modification, or revision, of proposals.

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications, or revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(6) Offerors may submit modifications to their proposals at any time before the solicitation closing date and time, and may submit modifications in response to an amendment, or to correct a mistake at any time before award.

(7) Offerors may submit revised proposals only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

(8) Proposals may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(d) Offer expiration date. Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for the number of days specified on the solicitation cover sheet (unless a different period is proposed by the offeror).

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall--

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award. (1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

52.2154005 PREPARATION AND EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

(CONSTRUCTION)

I. REQUIREMENTS

A. Basis for Award:

Award will be made to the responsible Offeror offering the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal. Each technical evaluation factor must be found to be “ACCEPTABLE” in order for the proposal to be found technically acceptable. Proposals will not be technically ranked.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal. The evaluation board for the Government may evaluate solely on the information provided in the initial proposal and will not assume that an Offeror possesses any capability that is not specifically identified in the proposal.

B. Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The proposal shall be submitted in two sections, a Technical Proposal and a Price Proposal. The Price Proposal, original and copy, must be sealed in a single, labeled package, separate from the Technical Proposal.

All pages containing text shall be consecutively numbered, type-written on 8½ x 11 inch paper with margins of at least one inch, and created using a font no smaller than 12. Proposals shall not be permanently bound (in order to facilitate incorporation of portions of the proposal into the final contract document if necessary).

Technical Proposal: Offerors shall submit (1) single-sided original and three (3) copies. The Technical Proposal shall include the following characteristics:

Cover letter including the following information:

o The Solicitation number (“W912ES-11-R-0001”) o The Offeror’s name, address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and email address o Names, titles, telephone and facsimile numbers, and email addresses of persons authorized to negotiate on the Offeror’s behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation o Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent’s authority

Responses to all technical evaluation factors. The format used for the areas and factors below should be strictly adhered to. All responses in the Offeror’s package must clearly indicate the applicable evaluation factors:

Part I: Relevant Experience Part II: Past Performance Part III: Technical Approach

The Technical Proposal shall not include pricing information

Price Proposal: Offerors shall submit (1) single-sided original Price Proposal and one (1) copy which includes the following:

Completed Standard Form (SF) 1442, including acknowledgement of Amendments Completed Pricing Schedule (Section 00 01 00).

Proof of Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and ORCA registration and any other applicable representations (Section 00 60 00)

Executed Bid Guarantee pursuant to the FAR Provision at 52.228-1 (Section 01 10 00) If applicable, a copy of any Teaming, Joint Venture or Mentor-Protégé Agreement

II. EVALUATION FACTORS

The evaluation factors are listed below. It is intended that proposals be evaluated, and award made, without discussions with the Offerors. If necessary, the Government may contact Offerors for the purpose of minor clarifications(s). If discussions are determined to be necessary, discussions will occur with all Offerors unless a competitive range has been established.

Failure to submit mandatory information for a factor, indicated by the word “shall”, will result in a rating of “unacceptable” for that factor, and the Offeror will be ineligible for award unless the Contracting Officer decides to hold discussions, and includes the Offeror in the competitive range.

Technical evaluation factors (Part I: Relevant Experience, Part II: Past Performance, and Part III: Technical Approach) will be evaluated first. Price will be evaluated last. There is a distinction between project experience and past performance. Relevant project experience pertains to the type of work completed by a contractor whereas past performance refers to how well a contractor has performed the work.

An offeror that wishes to submit a proposal for the Leech Lake Recreation Area Wastewater Treatment Plant construction project must propose on all of the work. Award will be made on an “All or None” basis to the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal. Each non-price evaluation factor must be found to be technically acceptable in order for the proposal to be found technically acceptable. Proposals will not be technically ranked. Only one technical proposal will be evaluated for each offeror.

A. Technical Evaluation Factors

Part I: Relevant Project Experience

Submittal Requirements: Relevant Project Experience shall be provided by completing the Relevant Project Experience Form (Attachment 1).

a. Offerors shall provide the names of firm(s) that will perform a significant portion of the work elements listed below, and information about each firm’s relevant project experience by completing the Relevant Project Experience Form (Attachment 1). Firms may include the prime contractor and/or major subcontractor(s). If more than one firm (i.e. subcontractor or joint venture/teaming partners) will perform a significant portion of the work for an element, the proposed firms must be identified and a minimum of two (2) projects per firm must be submitted

b. For each firm identified as performing a significant portion of the work, Offerors shall provide a minimum of two (2) examples of relevant projects for the applicable work element described below. Relevant projects must be at least 50% physically complete and performed by the firm within the last three (3) calendar years:

Work Elements:

1) Fabrication of packaged sewage treatment plants

2) Installation of packaged sewage treatment plants

The Relevant Project Experience factor will receive a rating of “acceptable” or “unacceptable” based on its entirety. In order to receive an “acceptable” rating, Offerors must provide the requested information using the Relevant Project Experience Form (Attachment 1) and demonstrate to the evaluators that the Offeror and its personnel or subcontractors have sufficient relevant experience, and the knowledge and capability to successfully perform the tasks described in this solicitation. Missing, incomplete, or ambiguous information could result in a rating of “unacceptable”.

Part II: Past Performance

Offerors’ past performance is a measure of the degree to which an Offeror was successful on projects of similar scope and complexity, as measured by the level of past customer satisfaction. It is also a measure of the degree to which an Offeror has complied with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully.

Submittal Requirements:

a) Offers shall submit completed Past Performance Reference Forms for at least (2) projects for work performed by the Offeror within the past three (3) calendar years. Projects must be at least 50% physically complete.

Note: Offerors may submit the same references for past performance as were provided in response to Part I, Relevant Experience, provided the references were clients of the Offeror.

b) If more than two past performance references are submitted, only the two most recent projects will be considered. If less than two past performance references are submitted, the submitted project will be evaluated, and the lack of the requested number of projects will not affect the rating for this factor, provided the Offeror certifies that additional past performance information is not available and provides an acceptable explanation as to why additional past performance is not available.

c) In the case of an Offeror with no relevant performance history, or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror will be evaluated as acceptable provided the Offeror certifies that additional past performance information is not available and provides an acceptable explanation as to why past performance information is not available.

d) The past performance reference must have been a client, or client representative, with whom the Offeror had a contract, or subcontract (if applicable) for one or more projects. The reference must hold, or have held at the time, a senior position in the client organization with responsibilities of contract administration, quality control, engineering, or technical supervision, or was otherwise in a position to evaluate the Offeror’s performance in executing the contract or subcontract. The past performance reference must have first-hand knowledge of the Offeror’s performance. The reference must have a current, valid phone number at which they can be reached during normal business hours, a fax number, and must be able to speak, read, and write in the English language.

The Government’s assessment of past performance will be based mainly on the Offeror’s reputations with customers and other sources. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of past performance information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the contractor’s performance. The Government may contact any or all of the past performance references provided by the Offeror in response to this solicitation, and may also use information obtained from any other sources when evaluating past performance of the Offeror and major subcontractors. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). While the

Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance rests with the Offeror.

The evaluation will take into account relevant past performance information regarding predecessor companies or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirements when such information is available and relevant to the instant acquisition. If necessary during the evaluation process, any adverse information received regarding subcontractor past performance may be shared with Offerors during clarifications or discussions if held.

The past performance factor will receive a rating of “acceptable” or “unacceptable” based on its entirety.

Past performance will be rated “unacceptable” if the contractor receives an unsatisfactory rating for any of the factors identified on the past performance questionnaire unless the offeror can demonstrate that adequate corrective actions were taken.

Part III: Technical Approach

Submittal Requirements: Offerors shall submit a narrative plan of the methodology proposed to accomplish the project in accordance with the specifications within the prescribed timeframe. The Plan shall include, at a minimum:

a. A description of the sewage treatment plant proposed for installation. Include cut sheets or literature that describe the how the proposed plant meets technical specifications, dimensions, and capacities intended for installation under his contract. Clearly indicate the model and any options or accessories that are included in the proposal;

b. Plan view and sketches showing the installation of the plant within the prescribed area shown on the drawings. Indicate locations of major components of the plant and the relation to the existing sewage lines and lift station;

c. A clear description of the equipment and crew that will be used to complete the work by the dates specified in contract clause 52.211-10 Alt 1, Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work.

d. The Offeror’s proposed schedule for delivery and installation of the plant in order to minimize downtime of the campground

e. Detailed information on the distribution of work being performed by the Offeror and its subcontractors, and how the Offeror proposes to perform at least 15% of the work with its own forces per contract clause FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting.

The proposed Technical Approach will receive a rating of “acceptable” or “unacceptable” based on its entirety. In order to receive an “acceptable” rating, the proposed Technical Approach Plan must address all of the above considerations. The proposed Plan must contain sufficient detail to demonstrate that the Offeror has adequate equipment and manpower of its own or through subcontractors in order to provide the Government with a quality finished product within the prescribed timeframe. Missing, incomplete, or ambiguous information could result in a rating of “unacceptable”.

B. Price
