When the word “Government” is encountered, it is intended to mean USACE NAU. “Request For Proposal”, “RFP” and “Solicitation” are used synonymously throughout.

Note: Proposal Expenses and Pre-Contract Costs: This request for proposal (RFP) does not commit the Government to pay any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal or for any other costs incurred by any firm submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation.

A. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

1. Introduction. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, Offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. The Offeror shall submit in the proposal all requested information specified in this section of the Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation at or before the exact time specified. There will be no public opening of the proposals received as a result of this solicitation. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Copies of the solicitation are available by INTERNET ACCESS ONLY. All solicitation documents will made available for viewing under Contracting Opportunities within the Beta SAM website https://beta.sam.gov. All amendments will be made available for viewing within Beta SAM. It shall be the Offeror’s responsibility to check the website for any amendments.

2. Inquiries. Offerors with technical inquiries shall submit their inquiries via “Bidder Inquiry” in

ProjNet at www.projnet.org\projnet.

The Bidder Inquiry System will be closed to new inquiries seven (7) calendar days prior to proposal submission in order to ensure adequate time is allotted to form an appropriate response and amend the solicitation, if necessary.

The Government reserves the right to decline addressing certain questions.

Offerors are requested to review the specification in its entirety, review the Bidder Inquiry System for answers to questions prior to submission of a new inquiry.

https://beta.sam.gov/ http://www.projnet.org/projnet

The telephone number for the Call Center is 800-428-HELP.

However prior coordination must be made with the contracting officer prior to the due date to use the alternate method of submission. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure receipt.

b. File Size Limitations. Offerors are advised that the size limitation for email submission is

10MB due to server restrictions. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections and deliver in separate emails. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below. If utilizing the DoD SAFE site the file size limitation is 8GB.

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) “W912GB20R0010 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I.pdf”

(2) “W912GB20R0010 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I Part 1.pdf”

(3) “W912GB20R0010 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I Part 2.pdf”
