AMENDMENT 1 BID SCHEDULE

SECTION 00100 - BIDDING SCHEDULE/INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

52.215-4005 Preparation and Evaluation of Proposals (Construction)

A. Basis for Award:

Award will be made to the responsible offeror representing the best value based on the Lowest-Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal. Each technical evaluation factor and subfactor must be found to be “acceptable” in order for the proposal to be found technically acceptable. Proposals will not be ranked.

Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal. Firms may only submit one proposal. Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings are defined as follows:

Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The successful offeror’s Technical Proposal and any proposed subcontractors will be incorporated in any resulting contract. The successful contractor’s proposed schedule will be incorporated into the awarded contract. The incorporated Schedule dates will become enforceable contractual completion dates. The identified subcontractors must be used on the project.

It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of its proposal. The Government may evaluate solely on the information provided in the initial proposal and not assume that an offeror possesses any capability that is not specifically identified in the proposal. The Government intends to award without discussions.

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

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s and their major subcontractors experience and certifications only.

If an offeror wishes to be credited with a subcontractor or supplier, i.e. a firm that is not the prime contractor, a letter of commitment signed by the subcontractor and the prime contractor (offeror) must be submitted with the proposal. In regard to Experience, if an offeror submits projects demonstrating experience in one of the factors, and that project was completed by a subcontractor, a subsidiary, or a supplier, as opposed to the offeror, the offeror MUST submit a signed letter of commitment from the contractor who performed and completed the work. If a letter of commitment is not submitted, the experience/certifications will not be considered.

B. Proposal Submission Requirements

The offeror’s proposal shall be submitted in hard copy, with accompanying digital copies as set forth below.

The offeror’s proposal shall consist of two volumes:

Volume I-Technical Proposal

Volume II-Price Proposal

All pages containing text in response to this RFP, except the schedule, shall be consecutively numbered, type-written on 8½ x 11 inch paper with margins of at least one inch, double sided, and created using a font no smaller than 12 with a maximum of 30 double-sided pages. Printing shall be single spaced. Each paragraph shall be separated by at least one blank line. Tables and illustrations may use a reduced font size no less than 8-point and may be landscape. These requirements do not apply to the “Attachment 1, Experience Sheets” noted below.

The schedule shall be provided on one-sided 11 x 17 pages folded in to the technical proposal and not exceed 10 pages.

Files shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited.

Proposals must be submitted in hard copy AND electronically. The electronic files shall contain identical information to the hard copy files. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

Format for hard-copy and electronic files. Each hardcopy volume shall be submitted in a separate three-ring binder that is clearly labeled with its title and volume number. The submission shall be clearly indexed and logically assembled. Each volume shall be clearly identified and shall begin at the top of a page. All pages of each volume shall be appropriately numbered and identified by the complete company name, date and RFP number in the header and/or footer.

The following volumes of material shall be submitted:

Volume Title Originals Electronic Copies Volume I 7 1 Volume II 1 1

Electronic Copies shall be submitted on CD’s or DVD’s. Zip disks are not permitted. Files shall be in read-only format, using PDF files that are configured for printing by the Government. Each CD shall be externally labeled with the volume number, date, and the offeror’s name. **Please note – Self extracting exe files are not acceptable.

**All of the hard-copy versions shall be identical, if the hard-copy versions differ from the electronic version, the hard-copy versions (originals) will govern.

Volume I: Technical Proposal: The Technical Proposal shall include the following:

1. The Solicitation number (“W912ES-16-R-0002”).

2. The offeror’s name, address, telephone and email address.

3. DUNS number, CAGE code and TAX ID number.

4. Names, titles, telephone and email addresses of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror’s behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation.

5. Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal.

6. Letter(s) of Commitment (if applicable).

7. Documentation evidencing those individuals that have authority to bind the offeror

(appropriate to the partnership, company, corporation, or joint venture demonstrating the agency relationship (ie. copies of corporate resolutions, powers of attorney, or official meeting notes)).

8. Responses to all technical evaluation factors. All responses in the offeror’s Technical Proposal must clearly indicate the areas to which they are applicable:

a. Part I: Schedule

b. Part II: Work Plan

c. Part III: Recent and Relevant Experience

d. Part IV: Certifications

9. The Technical proposal shall not include pricing information.

Volume II: Price Proposal: The Price Proposal shall include the following:

1. Completed Standard Form (SF) 1442, including acknowledgement of all Amendments.

2. Completed Pricing Schedule/Bid Schedule.

3. Proof of current System for Award Management (SAM) registration including the applicable

NAICS code for this acquisition (237990).

4. Representations and Certifications.

Offerors shall complete and submit the price schedule (schedule of items/bid schedule) with their proposal and include a price for each line item, including subtotals and totals. Failure to do so may result in the proposal being rejected without further consideration.

C. EVALUATION FACTORS

The evaluation factors and significant sub-factors are listed below. Failure to submit the required information for all evaluation factors will result in a rating of “unacceptable” for that factor, and the offeror will be ineligible for award unless the Procuring Contracting Officer decides to hold discussions and includes the offeror in the competitive range. Technical evaluation factors (Part I: Schedule, Part II: Work Plan, Part III: Recent and Relevant Experience, Part IV: Certifications) will be evaluated first. Price will be evaluated last.

In order for your proposal to be rated as “acceptable” under this factor you must provide one of the two current certifications noted above and proof that the certification has been continuously held for the past five years.

D. EVALUATION PROCESS

1. After receipt of proposals, the SSEB will convene and the voting members will independently evaluate all submitted proposals according to the evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation, beginning with the Technical proposals. Once the Technical evaluations are completed, the SSEB chairperson will lead the SSEB in discussion of each proposal, and they will come to a consensus decision as to the acceptability of each factor for each offeror. After concluding the evaluations, the chairperson will provide an oral briefing of the consensus evaluation results to the SSA and submit a written consensus evaluation report for the record.

The written consensus report will detail the reasons for acceptability or unacceptability of proposals noted during the SSEB evaluation. The SSEB will make no recommendation as to who shall receive the award and additionally shall not establish a rank order or order of merit list pertaining to the offers being evaluated. Upon completion of the Technical proposal report for the record, the SSEB will evaluate the Price proposals using the same process as for the Technical evaluations.

The SSEB will evaluate each offeror’s price in terms of unbalancing and for potential performance risks.

The Procuring Contracting Officer, or the Procuring Contracting Officer’s designee, will evaluate each offeror’s price IAW FAR 15.404 to determine price reasonableness. In this context, reasonableness will be determined by comparing offered prices to one another, to the government estimate, and to pricing for previous work of a similar nature.

2. After receiving the SSEB chairperson’s written consensus evaluation and report and briefing for both the Technical and Price proposals, the SSA, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will make a source selection decision on the basis of the lowest priced proposal meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for the technical factors. While the SSA may use reports and analyses prepared by others, the source selection decision shall represent the SSA's independent judgment. The source selection decision shall be documented, and the documentation shall include the rationale for any business judgments made or relied on by the SSA.

3. If, during the evaluation process, any offerors are eliminated from the competition, the offerors excluded from the competition shall be promptly notified in writing. The notice shall state the basis for the determination and that a proposal revision will not be considered. The Procuring Contracting Officer shall award a contract to the successful offeror by furnishing the executed contract or other notice of the award to that offeror. Each offeror whose proposal was not selected for award, will be notified in writing within three days after the date of the contract award. Debriefings will be provided to unsuccessful offerors who submit timely requests.

SECTION 00800 - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been modified:

WAGE RATES

APPLICABLE WAGE DECISION

Two wage decisions apply to the work under this contract: ND160021 (Building) and ND160014 (Heavy). These Davis-Bacon wage decisions are incorporated in full text below.

In order to provide the Contractor with guidance as to which Davis-Bacon wage decision applies to the various portions of the work under this contract, wage decision ND160021 (Building) shall apply to only the following: The work located within the chain link fence shown on the plan sheet entitled “Grading Plan: Control Building and Parking”, including the control building, parking lot, and landscaping. ND160014 (Heavy) shall apply to all other Davis-Bacon covered work under this contract, including the chain link fence.

The work under this contract may require members of the Contractor’s work force to perform work under either or both wage decisions. The Contractor's certified payrolls shall identify the classification, rate, fringe, and Davis- Bacon wage decision applicable to each covered employee's work for that workweek. If any Davis-Bacon covered employee works under more than one Davis-Bacon wage decision in a given workweek, the certified payrolls for that week shall identify which hours were worked under each of those Davis-Bacon wage decisions.

In the event that it is impracticable to segregate an employee’s work, or in the event of a conflict as to the type of work, the wage classification (and rate) resulting in the highest rate of pay/fringe benefits to that employee will apply.

General Decision Number: ND160021 07/22/2016 ND21

Superseded General Decision Number: ND20150021

State: North Dakota

Construction Type: Building

County: Cass County in North Dakota.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
