b. 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.

c. 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. If over 60 days old, a certification shall be attached stating that the financial condition of the firm is substantially the same or, if not the same, the changes that have taken place.

5. ANTITERRORISM/OPERATIONS SECURITY. Please see the special requirement(s) in Section 00 80 00.

6. FACSIMILE OF PROPOSALS AND MODIFICATIONS THERETO WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

7. Any forthcoming amendments will only be available on www.fbo.gov.. It is recommended that each firm check this website periodically for updates.

8. All Quantities are estimated except where unit is given as "EA" (each) or "JOB" (job).

9. All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of a discrepancy between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will govern.

10. The addresses, phone numbers, and Internet address (if available) for references cited in these specifications are listed in the Unified Facilities Guide Specification (UFGS) 01 42 00 SOURCES FOR REFERENCE PUBLICATIONS. UFGS 01 42 00 is available under Publications on the TECHINFO page of the Corps of Engineers Huntsville District Internet site at:

www.hnc.usace.army.mil/Missions/Engineering/TECHINFO.

11. UNBALANCED OFFERS. The Government may reject any offer that is materially unbalanced between contract line item numbers or sub-items on the bid schedule. An offer is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices which are significantly less than the cost for some work and prices which are overstated, in relation to cost, for other work. A materially unbalanced offer may be rejected if the Contracting Officer has a reasonable doubt as to whether the offer will result in the lowest overall cost to the government even though it may be the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. Additionally, an offer that is so unbalanced so as to be tantamount to an advance payment will be rejected even if acceptance of the offer would result in the lowest overall cost to the Government.

12. Offerors must propose on all line items for their offer to be considered for award.

52.204‐16 COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENT ENTITY CODE REPORTING (JUL 2015)

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

Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code means—

(1) An identifier assigned to entities located in the United States or its outlying areas by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch to identify a commercial or Government entity;

or

(2) An identifier assigned by a member of the North Atlantic treaty Organization (NATO) or by the NATO Support Agency (NSPA) to entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas that the DLA Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch records and maintains in the CAGE master file. This type of code is known as an NCAGE code.

(b) The Offeror shall enter its CAGE code in its offer with its name and address or otherwise include it prominently in its proposal. The CAGE code entered must be for that name and address. Enter ``CAGE'' before the number. The CAGE code is required prior to award.

(c) CAGE codes may be obtained via--

(1) Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. If the Offeror is located in the United States or its outlying areas and does not already have a CAGE code assigned, the DLA Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch will assign a CAGE code as a part of the SAM registration process. SAM registrants located outside the United States and its outlying areas shall obtain a NCAGE code prior to registration in SAM (see paragraph (c)(3) of this provision).

(2) The DLA Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch. If registration in SAM is not required for the subject procurement, and the offeror does not otherwise register in SAM, an offeror located in the United States or its outlying areas may request that a CAGE code be assigned by submitting a request at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/cage_welcome.asp.

(3) The appropriate country codification bureau. Entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas may obtain an NCAGE code by contacting the Codification Bureau in the foreign entity's country if that country is a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. NCAGE codes may be obtained from the NSPA if the foreign entity's country is not a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. Points of contact for codification bureaus and NSPA, as well as additional information on obtaining NCAGE codes, are available at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/nato/ObtainCAGE.asp.

(d) Additional guidance for establishing and maintaining CAGE codes is available at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/cage_welcome.asp.

(e) When a CAGE Code is required for the immediate owner and/or the highest-level owner by 52.204-17 or 52.212-3(p), the Offeror shall obtain the respective CAGE Code from that entity to supply the CAGE Code to the Government.

(f) Do not delay submission of the offer pending receipt of a CAGE code.

(End of Provision)

52.211‐6 BRAND NAME OR EQUAL (AUG 1999)

(a) If an item in this solicitation is identified as “brand name or equal,” the purchase description reflects the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the Government's needs. The salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that “equal” products must meet are specified in the solicitation.

(b) To be considered for award, offers of “equal” products, including “equal” products of the brand name manufacturer, must--

(1) Meet the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristic specified in this solicitation;

(2) Clearly identify the item by--

(i) Brand name, if any; and

(ii) Make or model number;

(3) Include descriptive literature such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information available to the Contracting Officer; and

(4) Clearly describe any modifications the offeror plans to make in a product to make it conform to the solicitation requirements. Mark any descriptive material to clearly show the modifications.

(c) The Contracting Officer will evaluate “equal” products on the basis of information furnished by the offeror or identified in the offer and reasonably available to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

(d) Unless the offeror clearly indicates in its offer that the product being offered is an “equal” product, the offeror shall provide the brand name product referenced in the solicitation.

(End of provision)

52.211‐5000 EVALUATION OF SUBDIVIDED ITEMS

Item Nos. 0005, 0008, 0014, 0015, 0016, 0017, 0018, 0019, 0023, and 0028 are subdivided into two or more estimated quantities and are to be separately priced. The Government will evaluate each of these items on the basis of total price of its sub-items.

(End of provision)

52.214‐4002 ALL OR NONE QUALIFICATIONS (FEB 2011) FAR 14.404‐5

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. Evaluation of bids/offers will be based upon only the total price included on the pricing schedule for all items. If options are included in the pricing schedule the evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the applicable option clause in the solicitation.

52.215‐1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS‐‐COMPETITIVE 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.

(End of provision)

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.
