SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 22 00 - SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1. OFFEROR INQUIRIES. Any prospective offeror desiring an explanation or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, specifications, etc., must submit their questions to the contracting specialist.

All inquiries must be submitted in writing via email to:

Terry Zenker at:

Terry.g.zenker@usace.army.mil

Offerors shall submit inquiries not later than 10 days prior to solicitation closing in order to ensure adequate time is allotted to form an appropriate response and amend the solicitation if necessary. Those who submit an inquiry will receive answers via email after they have been reviewed by the USACE technical team. Offerors 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. A offeror must provide a price on line items 0001 through 3001 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

3. 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.

c. A Bank Certification of Financial Capability (line of credit).

Before a quote is considered for award, the offeror may be requested by the Government to submit a statement regarding their previous experience in performing comparable work, their business and technical organization, financial resources, and plant available to be used in performing the work. This information (if requested) must be received by the Contracting Officer within five (5) business days and 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 should 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.

4. 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;

Apparent errors in addition of lump sum and extended prices will be corrected

(b) For the purpose of quote evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the offeror intends its quote 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.

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

6. All Quotes will be provided in English, using U.S. currency, rounded to the whole penny.

7. This solicitation and any forthcoming amendments will only be available on www.beta.sam.gov.

It is recommended that each registered firm check this website periodically for updates.

8. UNBALANCED BIDS. The government may reject as non-responsive any quote that is materially unbalanced between contract line item numbers or sub-items on the bidding schedule. A quote 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 quote will result in the lowest overall cost to the government even though it may be the low evaluated quote. Additionally, a quote that is unbalanced so as to be tantamount to an advance payment will be rejected as non-responsive even if acceptance of the quote 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.”

The contractor is required to arrange a CP Railway Flagman and incur the cost of the flagman for this contract. The approximate cost per day is $1200.00, and hours may limited. It is incumbent on the contactor to incorporate the costs for this service into their pricing and arrange all times for these services. The contact for this information at CP Railway is: Matt Miller matthew_miller@cpr.ca 612-330-4556
