3. General Proposal Submission Requirements.

c. Electronic Proposals. In an effort to reduce paperwork and costs, ALL RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY. Hand carried delivery or USPS/UPS/Fedex delivery of hard copies and/or CD-ROMs are not authorized. Facsimile submission is not authorized. Email submission is not authorized. ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION IS REQUIRED THROUGH THE FEDBIZOPPS (FBO.GOV) “ELECTRONIC RESPONSE” FEATURE. The FBO vendor user guide has information & instructions on how to utilize this feature. The FBO vendor user guide is accessible via the following web URL:

https://www.fbo.gov/downloads/FBO_Vendor_Guide.pdf.

d. File Size Limitations. Offerors are advised to follow the FBO instructions for uploading files larger than 10MB (java upload). FBO has not posted official file size limitations for its electronic response module;

however, it has been observed that uploads to FBO tend to be problematic when the files are sized 100MB or greater. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections to upload it to the system. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below.

e. File Names. To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention: Each filename shall begin with the Solicitation number, followed by the word “RESPONSE,” followed by your firm’s name, and finally a brief file description. EXAMPLES:

(1) “W912GB19R0031 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I.pdf”

(2) “W912GB19R0031 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I Part 1.pdf”

(3) “W912GB19R0031 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I Part 2.pdf”

(4) “W912GB19R0031 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I diagrams, figures.pdf”

(5) “W912GB19R0031 RESPONSE Firmname Volume II.pdf”

f. File Organization, Formatting, and other instructions. Although hard copies are not accepted, each file shall be clearly indexed, and logically assembled. Font size shall be 10 or larger. Pages shall be letter sized--larger page sizes (such as 11x17 foldouts, etc.) will be counted as two pages. Offerors shall prepare proposals in the English language. Proposals shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the proposal follows the order and format of the factors. Information presented should be organized so as to pertain to only the evaluation factor in the section that the information is presented. Proposals shall completely and adequately address the requirements of this Solicitation. Offerors are reminded that elaborate corporate marketing information, formatting, special reproduction techniques, etc., are not necessary. Failing to submit attachments or failing to complete the proposal properly may result in rejection of the offer without further evaluation. Information pertaining to more than one evaluation factor should be repeated in the each section for each factor. Electronic files shall be Microsoft Windows compatible. Files shall be submitted in their native format (i.e., doc, xls, ppt, etc.), or if in pdf format, shall be in searchable text. If the electronic files are of a size at which they must be compressed (zipped), they shall be compressed into one zipped folder.

g. Upload Completion & Deadline. Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on the Solicitation document. The time & date of proposal receipt will be the upload completion / delivery time & date recorded within FBO. Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously.

Large files (e.g. 10MB or more) will take some time to upload. Offerors should time their upload effort with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process and troubleshooting. Proposal submission difficulties should be coordinated with the Federal Service Desk at https://fsd.gov and/or +1-866-606-8220 (Mon-Fri 8am-8pm Eastern Time UTC -5:00). Experience shows that if an upload does not complete until after the deadline, the FBO upload WILL NOT COMPLETE. The FBO system will automatically shut off the “Electronic Submission” feature at the specified deadline--once that occurs, the feature will disappear from the announcement. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the upload confirmation for their record. Submissions after the deadline may be emailed to Jason Malak, Contract Specialist (jason.r.malak@usace.army.mil), but be advised they will be considered late and as such will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208.

h. Any information, presented in a proposal that the Offeror wants safeguarded from disclosure to other parties must be identified and labeled in accordance with the requirements of Provision “FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to OfferorsCompetitive Acquisition (Jan 2004),” subparagraph (e). The Government will endeavor to honor the restrictions against release requested by Offerors, to the extent permitted under United States law and regulations.

i. SPECIAL NOTICE: System for Award Management. Please take notice that the System for Award

1.1 General. Ordering procedures will be tailored per task order depending on the circumstances pertinent to each task order scope. These procedures will be determined by the Ordering Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 16.505. In some cases, the Ordering Contracting Officer may evaluate proposals based on price-only; in other cases, the Ordering Contracting Officer may use other non-price evaluation criteria in addition to price and select the Offeror that presents the best value to the Government. Fair opportunity in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1) will be paramount, and the basis for award will be explained in each task order RFP.

Task order proposal requirements will be kept to a minimum as best as possible.

1.2 Site Visits. Offerors attendance at site visits is considered vital to preparation of competitive and cost-effective offers, and to understanding the total results desired by the Government. Failure to attend site visits shall not be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in offers, and may be taken into consideration in determining a Contractor’s eligibility to participate in future Task Orders. The Contractors will not be reimbursed for attendance during negotiations, site visits, proposal preparation or other Pre-Task Order award costs. The Ordering Contractor Officer reserves the right to make attendance at site visits mandatory for specific Task Orders and to reject offers by Contractors who have not attended the site visits.

1.3 Proposal Deadlines. Each Task Order RFP will include a stated deadline, by which Contractors shall respond with a proposal to the Ordering Contracting Officer Contractors.

1.4 Negotiations. Task Order proposals will either be accepted as is or negotiated to the mutual agreement of both the Government and the Contractor. In most instances, the Ordering Contracting Officer will intend to evaluate proposals and award a task order without negotiations. Therefore, Offerors should include their best price terms in their initial offer and not assume they will have an opportunity to participate in negotiations and/or be asked to submit a revised proposal. However, the Contracting Officer may determine it necessary after evaluating initial proposals to engage in negotiations and/or other bilateral communications with one or more Offerors. Offerors are reminded, in accordance with FAR 52.215-20, the Contracting Officer may require additional Other than Cost and Pricing Data to support analysis as required to determine a price fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.403-1.

1.5 Task Order Award. Upon conclusion of satisfactory discussions or negotiations (if required), a Task Order will be issued by the Contracting Officer reflecting the negotiated order price and payment terms as outlined in the statement of work or specifications. In any instance where there is failure to reach agreement on price, the Government reserves the right to withdraw the project and have it completed by other means. Task Orders will be issued on DD Form 1155. The Task Order becomes binding when the Contracting Officer signs the Order. The Firm Fixed Price amount for Task Orders shall constitute full compensation to the Contractor for

(1) Furnishing all plant, labor equipment, appliances, and materials; and (2) Performing all operations required to complete the work in conformity with the drawings, specifications and/or statement of work. The Contractor shall include in their proposal costs of all work required by drawings, specifications, and/or statement of work.

1.6 Task Order Award Notifications. The Ordering Contracting Officer will notify all Offerors when a task order award is made.

1.7 Debriefs. Offerors are encouraged to request the Ordering Contracting Officer for a debrief. Debriefs will be authorized in accordance with FAR Part 16.505.

1.8 Task Order Ombudsman. In accordance with FAR Part 16.505 and AFARS 5116.505, the Head of the Contracting Activity has appointed a task and delivery order ombudsman. If the Contractor believes it was not fairly considered for a particular Task Order, the Contractor may present the matter to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may appeal the explanation or decision of the Contracting Officer to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Ombudsman. The ombudsman has the authority to review complaints from contractors awarded multiple award contracts that they have not been afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for award of a particular task order. After coordination with the Contracting Officer, and if he/she agrees with the Contractor, the Ombudsman may require that a Contracting Officer take corrective action regarding the complaint. At this time, the USACE Ombudsman is Colonel Douglas S. Lowry (douglas.s.lowrey@usace.army.mil). Offerors may request updated information for the USACE Ombudsman from the Ordering Contracting Officer.

1.9 Notice to Proceed (NTP). NTP will be issued separately after receipt and approval of an acceptable Bank Letter of Guaranty or Bond, if required, and approved submittals as identified per Task Order RFP.
