1. BIDDER INQUIRIES. Any prospective bidder desiring an explanation or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, specifications, etc., must submit their questions using the ProjNet system at https://www.projnet.org

Clause 52.214-6 requires that all inquiries be submitted in writing. To submit a new inquiry or to view inquiries submitted by other prospective bidders, users must be registered and signed into the ProjNet system . Bidders may register online at https://www.projnet.org (click on “Register”). The following information will be needed to submit or view bidder inquiries:

Managing Agency: USACE The Solicitation Number is: W912ES20B0019 The Bidder Inquiry “Key” Number is: J8M5JG-9EFZ9W

Bidders should submit inquiries not later than 10 days prior to bid opening in order to ensure adequate time is allotted to form an appropriate response and amend the solicitation if necessary. Questions submitted after this timeframe may or may not be answered. Those who submit an inquiry will receive a system-generated email acknowledgement. All answers to inquiries will be posted in ProjNet after they have been reviewed by the USACE technical team. Bidders are advised to review the solicitation in its entirety and to review all previously submitted questions and responses prior to submitting a new inquiry.

2. RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINATION. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.1, the apparent low bidder will be requested to provide the following information:

a. A detailed description of the work to be self-performed and resources available to demonstrate the firm is capable of complying with: 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting.

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.

W912ES20B0019

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

6. 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.

(a) For the purpose of initial evaluation of bids, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of bidding schedule as submitted by the bidder:

(1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(2) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern;

(3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(4) Apparent errors in addition of lump sum and extended prices will be corrected.

(b) For the purpose of bid evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the bidder intends its bid to be evaluated on the basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the bid will be so reflected on the abstract of bids.

7. UNBALANCED BIDS. The government may reject as non-responsive any bid that is materially unbalanced between contract line item numbers or sub-items on the bidding schedule. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices that are significantly less than cost for some work and significantly more than cost for other work. A materially unbalanced bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer has a reasonable doubt as to whether the bid will result in the lowest overall cost to the government even though it may be the low evaluated bid. Additionally, a bid that is unbalanced so as to be tantamount to an advance payment will be rejected as non-responsive even if acceptance of the bid would result in the lowest overall cost to the government. Reference is made to paragraph (d) of clause 52.214-19, “Contract Award

– Sealed Bidding – Construction.”

8. REQUIREMENT FOR BID GUARANTEE. Each bidder shall submit with its bid a Bid Bond (current version of Standard Form 24) with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government or other security as provided in the clause BID GUARANTEE in the form of twenty percent (20%) of the bid price or $3,000,000 whichever is lesser. The bid bond penalty may be expressed in terms of a percentage of the bid price or may be expressed in dollars and cents.

9. BIDDER QUALIFICATIONS. Before a bid is considered for award, the bidder may be requested by the Government to submit a statement regarding his previous experience in performing comparable work, his business and technical organization, financial resources, and plant available to be used in performing the work.

10. ALL OR NONE QUALIFICATIONS. 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 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.
