The COVID-19 pandemic situation has impacted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) St. Paul District’s ability to conduct Acquisition processes through normal practices. The following change is intended to assist in the continuation of the acquisition process in a transparent manner. These changes will allow bidders to submit a bid and participate in a public bid opening, while ensuring compliance with social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to meet the challenges and guidelines associated with social distancing, USACE, St. Paul District has transitioned from an in-person bid opening to a Telephone Conference bid opening.

SECTION 00 70 00 - CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT

The following have been modified:

52.211-10 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (APR 1984) -

ALTERNATE I (APR 1984)

The Contractor shall be required to (a) commence work under this contract within ten (10) calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, (b) prosecute the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use not later than 20 July 2022 (inclusive of option, if exercised). The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.

The completion date is based on the assumption that the successful offeror will receive the notice to proceed by 06 July 2020. The completion date will be extended by the number of calendar days after the above date that the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, except to the extent that the delay in issuance of the notice to proceed results from the failure of the Contractor to execute the contract and give the required performance and payment bonds within the time specified in the offer.
