https://beta.sam.gov/ https://www.google.com/maps/place/50%C2%B008'58.0%22N+31%C2%B004'50.6%22E/@50.1494414,31.0785393,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d50.149438!4d31.080728?hl=en mailto:joshua.d.mueller@usace.army.mil https://moz.gov.ua/koronavirus-2019-ncov

(i) The Ministry of Health of Ukraine maintains a website that shows red and green countries according to the information on the number of active cases of COVID-19 per 100 thousand population in each country. If a visitor traveling to Ukraine has been in a green country for 14 days, there is no self-isolation (quarantine) required. If a visitor traveling to Ukraine has visited a red country within last 14 days, a 14-day self-isolation (quarantine) is required. The website will be updated every 3 days:

(ii) The US Embassy Kiev's website matches the above statement (https://ua.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/): “The Ukrainian government has lifted the entry ban for foreigners. U.S. citizens will be allowed to enter Ukraine if they can demonstrate that they have medical insurance covering all expenses related to COVID-19 treatment while on the territory of Ukraine. U.S. citizens entering Ukraine will be required to enter into self-quarantine if the Ministry of Health considers the United States a country with high incidence of COVID-19. That determination will be reviewed and communicated to Border Police every three days, as well as published on their website [at https://moz.gov.ua/koronavirus-2019-ncov]. Accordingly, U.S. citizens traveling to Ukraine should check the latest determination prior to travel and be prepared to self-isolate if advised to do so upon arrival. Commercial international passenger services to and from Ukraine will gradually resume as of June 15. U.S. citizens interested in departing Ukraine can find information about future flights by visiting the airlines’ websites. Many land border checkpoints with neighboring countries have re-opened.

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.

c. 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) “W912GB20R0045 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I.pdf”

(2) “W912GB20R0045 RESPONSE Firmname Volume II.pdf”

d. 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. 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.

e. Submission & Deadline. Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on solicitation document. The time & date of proposal receipt will be the delivery time & date recorded of email receipt on the Government’s server. Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously. Offerors should time their email submission with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process and troubleshooting. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the delivery and/or read confirmation for their record but shall also request confirmation. Submissions after the deadline may be emailed to Susan Dunnagan, Contract Specialist (susan.k.dunnagan@usace.army.mil) and Contracting Officer, LTC Christian Solinsky, at Christian.Solinsky@usace.army.mil, but be advised they will be considered late and as such will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208.

Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact via email no later than the closing date of this solicitation.

The offerors shall indicate if any of the contracts listed were terminated and the type and reasons for the termination. The Government may call and confirm past performance information provided by the offeror. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available.

The Bank Letter of Guaranty shall state that it will continue in effect without change in amount or terms until the work has been finally inspected and accepted by the Government, and that thereafter it will continue in effect until expiration of any applicable warranty periods or extensions thereof in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the contract price.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

EVALUATIONS OF OFFERORS

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government will utilize the Tradeoff Source Selection Process in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 to determine best value. This process permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors, and the Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror. The award will be made to the Offeror proposing the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the proposals received, including the evaluation factors described in paragraph B of this section. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for all non-price factors. Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

All proposals will be evaluated on the factors listed below. Offerors are required to provide data addressing all stated factors in a clear and understandable format. If an Offeror does not have data relating to a specific factor, it shall be clearly stated in the proposal.
