Prior to initiation of construction, the Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer’s Representative on site to discuss the Contractor’s plan of operation, the Contractor’s safety plan, and any issues that the Government or the Contractor may have.

8. STAGING AREA

A staging area will be provided on site for storing the Contractor’s equipment and materials. The Contractor is responsible for the loading and unloading of construction material.

9. STRUCTURAL FOUNDATION AND GRANULAR FILL BASE

Prior to construction of the storage building, the Contractor shall be required to construct a concrete slab on which the structure shall be placed. The existing ground surface shall first be stripped of topsoil and the subgrade excavated to a depth that will allow the placement of the granular fill and overlying concrete slab to the dimensions shown in the attachments for this scope of work. Excavated soil not required for backfill shall be removed from the site and disposed of in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations.

The finished surface of the subgrade shall be proof-rolled prior to placement of the granular fill for the concrete slab. Proof-rolling shall be scheduled at a time when the Contracting Officer can observe, unless waived. Proof-rolling shall be accomplished within the limits of the work by passing a loaded 25 ton dump truck or rubber tired heavy equipment over the entire subgrade at a slow rate of speed. Proof-rolling shall be observed by a qualified observer not riding in the vehicle. Isolated areas of soft cohesive soils shall be excavated and replaced with satisfactory fill of a texture similar to surrounding subgrade soil. Loose zones of non-saturated granular soil shall be compacted. The Contracting officer has the option to direct subgrade correction.

Granular fill meeting requirements of this scope of work shall be placed on the finished subgrade to the dimensions shown in the attachments to this scope of work. Granular fill shall meet material and gradation requirements for open graded base as specified in Section 310 Open Graded Base in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation 2013 Standard Specifications publication. Prior to bringing material on site the Contractor shall provide documentation from the material supplier verifying that the material meets the specified requirements. Material shall be placed in lifts and compacted as specified in Section 3.10.3 Construction.

10. CONCRETE SLAB

The concrete slab on which the storage building is to be placed shall be constructed as shown on the attachments to this scope of work. The Contractor shall provide signed documentation from the concrete supplier verifying that the concrete provided meets the requirements of this scope of work.

Reinforced concrete design shall be in accordance with ACI 318 and related current ACI publications, which are applicable to the design. All concrete elements, including slab-on-grade, shall be reinforced with temperature and shrinkage reinforcement as a minimum.

Reinforcing Bar Usage Limitations. Grade 60 bars shall be used for concrete design. Minimum bar size shall be No.5 bars except for stirrups and ties, which may be No.3 bars per ACI.

Mix Proportioning. Concrete shall be proportioned with a maximum limit on water/cement ratio (W/C) of 0.45 for structural thin sections and 0.50 for mass concrete by weight of cementitious materials.

Coarse and Fine Aggregate for Portland cement concrete shall be from sources as tested and accepted in accordance with ASTM C33.

Concrete Strength. The minimum concrete compressive strength shall be 4,500 psi in 28 days per ASTM C39.

Concrete Joints. Control joints and contraction joints shall be located to reduce concrete cracking to a minimum. All exposed concrete joints shall be sealed with appropriate joint sealants.

Place thickened edge as shown on the attached sketch on all edges along the perimeter of the slab.

Supply and apply anti-termite material to the compacted backfill under the floor slab in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.

11. BACKFILL FOR CONCRETE SLAB

After the concrete slab has been constructed and forms removed, the slab shall be backfilled around its perimeter with granular fill as shown in the attachments. The finished surface of the granular fill immediately adjacent to the slab shall be at an elevation one inch below the top of slab elevation with the remaining finished surface shaped to prevent drainage toward the structure. Backfill and compaction shall be done by methods that do not damage or displace the concrete slab and underlying granular fill. Backfill shall be compacted with standard compaction equipment until no displacement of compacted materials is observed.

12. BUILDING DESIGN

The Contractor shall be required to design the storage building such that it meets the specifications of this scope of work and complies with the latest industry standards and regulatory building codes. Factors to be taken into account in the design include, but are not limited to, the type of construction, construction materials, design loads, design to secure the structure to the concrete slab, and geographic location.

The Contractor shall provide the design to the Contracting Officer for review and approval. The Government will review the design and provide comments for the Contractor to address within five (5) working days of receiving the design. The Contractor shall not be allowed to construct the storage building until the Government review comments have been satisfactorily addressed and the design has been approved.

The Contractor shall construct the storage building in accordance with the approved design. Changes in the design or materials used shall not be allowed without prior approval of the Contracting Officer.

13. BUILDING DESCRIPTION

The storage building shall be a structure 100 feet long by 10 feet wide with a minimum interior overhead height of 14 feet. The building shall be constructed at a location approximately 40 feet northwest of building 9 with the 100 foot side parallel with and offset 3 feet to the west of the security fence. The approximate location is shown on the attached site layout drawing. The roof shall include a 4 foot overhang extending out from the west/river side of building, with a 2 foot eave extending past the wall on the east/fence side of the building, and one foot eaves extending out from each of the end walls. The side of the building facing the west shall be open. Doors and windows will not be required for the structure.

The structural frame for the storage building shall be wood or structural steel. Spacing between vertical supports shall be 20 feet. If the Contractor elects to provide structural steel framing, structural members shall be 3/8 inches thick and shall be corrosion resisting or shall have a corrosion resisting coating that provides a minimum of 50 years of service without maintenance.

A vendor must provide a price on all items in this solicitation to be eligible for award. The Government will award on an “All or None” basis.

If options are included in the pricing schedule the evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the applicable option clause in the solicitation.

(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).

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.

(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.
