3. SUBMISSIONS OF OFFERS IN JAPANESE YEN. Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall be in terms of Japanese Yen, including any required bid guarantee. Offers received in other than Japanese Yen shall be rejected.

4. MAGNITUDE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT. The estimated price range of this work is between ¥1,000,000,000 and ¥2,500,000,000,000 [FAR 36.204].

a. Under the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, Public Law 103-355 (FASA), the Miller Act (40 U.S.C. 270a-270f) no longer applies to contracts that do not exceed the amount of $150,000. Therefore, the Government will not require the successful bidder to furnish a performance bond if it appears that award of a contract to the bidder will be in an amount of ¥17,250,000 or less.

b. The government requires a bid guarantee to accompany a bid when a performance bond will be required under the resulting contract. Therefore, under this solicitation, any bid that is in excess of ¥17,250,000 shall be accompanied by a bid guarantee, in the form and amount that is required by provision "52.228-1, BID GUARANTEE," and other pertinent provisions and clauses in this solicitation. Failure to submit a bid guarantee in such case may render the bid non-responsive to the solicitation.

c. A bid under this solicitation that does not exceed ¥17,250,000 shall not require a bid guarantee to be submitted with the bid. Absence of a bid guarantee in such case will not, in and of itself, render the bid non-responsive to the solicitation.

7. PERFORMANCE BOND (MAR 2015).

a. Applicable to contracts exceeding ¥17,250,000.

b. Within 10 calendar days after the date of receipt of the award letter, the bidder to whom award is made shall furnish the Government with a performance bond (Standard Form 25) with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government. The penal sum of the Performance Bond shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price.

c. Performance bond will be furnished by the Contractor to the Government prior to issuance by the Government of a Notice to Proceed. (FAR 28.102-3) [0000-4124]

8. SAFETY STANDARDS. The successful offeror will be required to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standards as well as the Corps of Engineers Manual 385-1-1, Safety and Health Requirements Manual.

9. PERFORMANCE OF WORK BY THE CONTRACTOR – DEFINED.

10. PRORATED COSTS. All costs pertaining to the performance of work under the contract over and above the direct costs for the work shall be prorated to and included in the price quoted for each item in the Bidding Schedule.

11. SPECIAL TREATMENT OF PACKAGING OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL.

Specifically, a prospective offeror must be duly authorized to operate and conduct business in Japan and must fully comply with all laws, decrees, labor standards, and regulations of Japan during the performance of the resulting contracts. In addition, prior to award of the contracts, offerors must be registered with the Government of Japan to do construction work in Japan and possess necessary construction licenses and permits to perform work required under this solicitation.

The U.S. Government will not offer “United States Official Contractor” status under Article XIV of the US-Japan Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) to U.S. contractors normally resident in the United States; nor will the U.S. Government certify employees of such contractors as “Members of the Civilian Component” under Article I(b) of the SOFA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This acquisition is being conducted using a “One-Phase” design build procurement process.

1.1 Offerors shall strictly adhere to the requirements in this Section when preparing the proposal to be submitted in response to this Request for Proposal (RFP). All proposals shall be in English. The Government will not reimburse any Offeror any cost incurred in response to this RFP. Proposals that fail to comply with the proposal submittal requirements addressed in this section of the solicitation may be deemed unacceptable. 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 RFP. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Copies of the RFP are available by INTERNET ACCESS ONLY. All RFP documents will be posted to and made available for viewing in Federal Business Opportunities (http://www.fbo.gov). All amendments will be posted to and made available for viewing in FedBizOpps. It shall be the Offeror’s responsibility to check the website for any amendments.

1.2 The Government seeks award of one contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government using the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process.

1.2.1 The Government will determine which offeror demonstrates the required competence for performing the requirement described herein and offers the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal to the Government. Offerors are advised the Government intends to make an award on the basis of initial proposals without conducting discussions with the offerors (other than communications conducted for the purpose of clarification). However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines it necessary.

1.2.2 The Government reserves the right to discuss aspects of proposals with Offerors in the competitive range, if one is determined to be necessary, upon completion of the evaluation.

Offerors are advised that the Government may make award without discussions, clarifications, or any contact concerning the proposals received. Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors shall not assume that they will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise their proposals.

1.3 Proposals received by the Government after the date and time set for receipt of proposals will be handled in accordance with the requirements of Provision “52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition”.

1.4 Offerors are required to provide information addressing all stated factors in a clear and understandable format. If an offeror does not have information relating to a specific factor, the offeror shall clearly state so in the proposal. Proposals that do not clearly address all factors may be considered unacceptable and may not receive further consideration.

2.0 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 General Requirements: The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities or experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal.

2.1.1 Proposals shall be submitted in two (2) separate envelopes as follows:

2.1.1.1 Volume I shall contain the Technical Proposal and shall be clearly marked Volume I – Technical Proposal. In addition, follow instructions in Paragraph (c)(1) of Section 00 21 00, 52.215-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION.

2.1.1.2 Volume II shall contain the Price Proposal and shall be clearly marked Volume II – Price Proposal. In addition, follow instructions in Paragraph (c)(1) of Section 00 21 00, 52.215-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION.

2.1.2 Each volume shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently from evaluation of the other. It is recommended that the pages be standard 8-1/2” x 11” or A4 white bond paper using 12 characters per linear inch or equivalent as the minimum size standard for text.

2.1.3 The Government recognizes that offerors go to considerable expense to prepare proposals for this solicitation, so the Government prefers that proposals be practical. Elaborate format, special binders, special reproduction techniques, and the like are not necessary or desired. In short, the proposal shall completely and adequately address the requirements stated in solicitation. Proposal legibility, clarity, coherence, and contents are important.

2.1.4 Revised Proposal. Revised proposals will not be accepted unless specifically requested by the Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer decides to conduct discussions and requests revised proposals from the offerors; offerors shall ensure that all replacement pages are clearly marked “REVISED”, shall show the date of revision, shall be submitted in the appropriate number of copies (e.g., if two copies of the original page was required, then two copies of the revised page will also be required). All proposal revisions shall be submitted as page replacements with revised text readily identifiable, e.g. bold face print or underlining.

2.2 Proposal Format

2.2.1 Size of Proposal Pages: Proposal pages should be standard letter size (8-1/2” x 11” or A4);

however, if drawings or other graphics are submitted, offerors should reduce them only to the extent that legibility is not lost. Font size 12 or larger is preferred. Each page should be numbered. Any pages over the prescribed limit will not be considered for evaluation.

2.3 Proposal Content

2.3.1. Volume I – Technical Proposal

2.3.1.1. Submit one (1) original and five (5) paper copies of the documents shown in the table below. The volume shall be bound and tabbed and in the order as shown in the table below.
