Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) (Wilmington Local Instruction)

*****************I M P O R T A N T A N T ********************

CAN BE AWARDED A CONTRACT. You may register through the CCR website at http://www.ccr.gov. A CCR registration form is also available from the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-888-227- 2423.

2. a. Public Law 104-134 requires the use of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for all Federal payments, starting

2 January 1999. Although EFT data is now being obtained through the CCR, the interface between the CCR and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) payment office in Millington, TN is not currently available.

Therefore, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Finance Center is now offering EFT payments directly to vendors.

b. For USACE contract awards, you must be enrolled in the EFT program at the USACE FINANCE

CENTER, Millington, TN.

c. After a contract award with the Wilmington District, and once EFT is established, payments will be directly deposited into your checking or savings account avoiding mail delays and a six week delay for replacement of lost checks.

d. A Direct Deposit Authorization Form (UFC-DISB-4) and instructions are available from our Resource

Management Office for completing and mailing the form. Please make a copy for your records and for your bank.

2. Each Bidder shall, upon request of the Contracting Officer, furnish information on any or all of the above areas so that the Contracting Officer can make an affirmative determination of responsibility or nonresponsibility.

3. This paragraph is applicable to Hopper Dredges and Dredge Scows.

“SILENT INSPECTOR - SPECIAL STANDARD OF RESPONSIBILITY

(a) The Silent Inspector (SI) is an automated dredge contract monitoring system comprised of both hardware and software developed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps). The Corps developed the SI as a low cost, repeatable, impartial system for automated dredge monitoring. Additional information about SI can be found at http://si.wes.army.mil/index/html The Dredge Specific System (DSS), collects various sensor data, and formats and displays these data to the dredge crew to provide quality control of the dredging project. The DSS is provided by the Contractor and integrates various automated systems to record digital dredging and disposal activities. These systems collect and record measurements from scow sensors, and display this information using standard reports and graphical displays. The dredging contractor supplies the DSS and all associated sensors.

(b) As authorized by FAR 9.104-2, Contracting Officers may establish special standards of responsibility when necessary. The Contracting Officer has determined that use of the SI is necessary for work performed by hopper dredges or dredge scows. Therefore, in order to be considered responsible for performing this contract, the Offeror must establish prior to contract award that any hopper dredge or dredge scow to be used in performance of this contract has been outfitted with the SI system and the system has been certified by the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) within the last year. Questions regarding certification should be addressed to the SI support team at 601-634-2923

(e) Bids submitted by electronic commerce shall be considered only if the electronic commerce method was specifically stipulated or permitted by the solicitation.

52.214-6 EXPLANATION TO PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS (APR 1984)

Any prospective bidder desiring an explanation or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, specifications, etc., must request it in writing soon enough to allow a reply to reach all prospective bidders before the submission of their bids. Oral explanations or instructions given before the award of a contract will not be binding. Any information given a prospective bidder concerning a solicitation will be furnished promptly to all other prospective bidders as an amendment to the solicitation, if that information is necessary in submitting bids or if the lack of it would be prejudicial to other prospective bidders.

52.214-7 LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS OF BIDS (NOV 1999)

(a) Bidders are responsible for submitting bids, and any modifications or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the invitation for bids (IFB) by the time specified in the IFB. If no time is specified in the IFB, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that bids are due.

(b)(1) Any bid, modification, or withdrawal received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of bids is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late bid would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(i) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the IFB, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of bids; or

(ii) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of bids and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of bids.

(2) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful bid that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(c) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the bid wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(d) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that bids cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of bids by the exact time specified in the IFB and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the IFB, the time specified for receipt of bids will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids. If the IFB authorizes facsimile bids, bids may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.214-31, Facsimile Bids. A bid may be withdrawn in person by a bidder or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of bids, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the bid.

52.214-18 PREPARATION OF BIDS--CONSTRUCTION (APR 1984)

(a) Bids must be (1) submitted on the forms furnished by the Government or on copies of those forms, and (2) manually signed. The person signing a bid must initial each erasure or change appearing on any bid form.

(b) The bid form may require bidders to submit bid prices for one or more items on various bases, including--

(1) Lump sum bidding;

(2) Alternate prices;

(3) Units of construction; or

(4) Any combination of subparagraphs (1) through (3) above.

(c) If the solicitation requires bidding on all items, failure to do so will disqualify the bid. If bidding on all items is not required, bidders should insert the words "no bid" in the space provided for any item on which no price is submitted.

(d) Alternate bids will not be considered unless this solicitation authorizes their submission.

52.214-19 CONTRACT AWARD--SEALED BIDDING--CONSTRUCTION (AUG 1996)

(a) The Government will evaluate bids in response to this solicitation without discussions and will award a contract to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, considering only price and the price-related factors specified elsewhere in the solicitation.

(b) The Government may reject any or all bids, and waive informalities or minor irregularities in bids received.

(c) The Government may accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded by a restrictive limitation in the solicitation or the bid.

(d) The Government may reject a bid as nonresponsive if the prices bid are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work, and if there is a reasonable doubt that the bid will result in the lowest overall cost to the Government even though it may be the low evaluated bid, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment.

(End of provison)

52.214-4004 II CONDITIONS GOVERNING EVALUATION OF BIDS(AUG 1991

CESAS-CT)

Offerors must quote on all items of the schedule, Section 00010.

52.214-5000 APPARENT CLERICAL MISTAKES (MAR 1995)--EFARS

(a) For the purpose of initial evaluations of bids, the following will be utilized in the 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 his bid to be evaluated on 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.

(c) These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which bid is low.

(End of statement)
