To confirm attendance at the site visit, please contact Contract Specialist, Jenna Grainer at 716-

See FAR Provision 52.236-27. Prospective offerors are strongly encouraged to visit the project site prior to preparing and submitting any bid.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Electronic Submission: Electronic copies of each volume shall be submitted through the

Solicitation Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) suite at https://piee.eb.mil/ . Proposals submitted by mail or hand carried will not be evaluated. Proposals sent through proprietary or third-party File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sites or DoD SAFE will not be retrieved. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to confirm receipt of proposals. All proposals received after the exact time specified for receipt shall be treated as late submissions and will not be considered except under facts and circumstances allowed by the FAR. For instructions on how to post an offer, please refer to the Posting Offer demonstration:

https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/sol/Posting_Offer.pdf.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to obtain written confirmation of receipt of all electronic files of the full proposal by emailing the Contracting Officer, Tyrone B. Palaganas at tyrone.b.palaganas@usace.army.mil and/or the Contract Specialist, Jenna Grainer at jenna.n.grainer@usace.army.mil. If the Solicitation Module is down, the alternate method for proposal submission is via email to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist identified in the preceding sentence. The Offeror must obtain prior approval from the Contracting Officer or

Contract Specialist to use the alternate submission method. Offeror requests to use the alternate submission method must be received by the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist no later than 36 hours prior to the proposal submission deadline.

mailto:jenna.n.grainer@usace.army.mil https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/sol/Posting_Offer.pdf

Offerors are responsible for ensuring electronic copies are virus-free and shall run an anti-virus scan before submission. Electronic copies of each volume shall be compatible with Adobe

Acrobat Reader 11. Narrative portions of the proposal shall be in Adobe Acrobat portable document file (pdf) searchable text format. The Offeror shall not embed sound or video (e.g., MPEG) files into the proposal files. Electronic files shall be clearly identified for each volume, section, and item.

File Naming Convention: 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:

W912P424B0003-FIRMNAME-Bid

W912P424B0003-FIRMNAME-Amendments

W912P424B0003-FIRMNAME-Bid Bonds

File Organization: Although hard copies are not accepted, each file shall be clearly indexed and logically assembled. Font size shall be 10 or larger.

Small Business Subcontracting Plan: Each Large Business Offeror shall submit a

Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR Clauses 52.219-8 and 52.219-9 DEV. To be acceptable, plans must adequately address the required statutory elements and provide sufficient information to enable the Contracting Officer to answer affirmatively questions A through H of

Appendix DD, Part 2, AFARS 5119.705. Percentage goals apply to the total amount being subcontracted.

This Plan shall be submitted separately from the Small Business Participation information required above which applies to both Large and Small Businesses. The Subcontracting Plan is not a requirement for evaluation in source selection but rather a requirement for award to a Large

Business. The approved Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated into any resultant contract(s).

Upload Completion & Deadline: Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on the solicitation document. The time & date of bid receipt will be the upload completion / delivery time & date recorded within PIEE site. 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. Bidders are encouraged to keep a copy of the upload confirmation for their record. Submissions after the deadline will be considered late and will be processed in accordance with FAR 14.304.

Electronic Files: Files shall be in their native format (i.e. doc, xls, ppt, etc.), or if in pdf format, shall be in searchable text. Text and graphics portfolios of the electronic copies shall be in a format readable by Microsoft Office or Adobe applications. Data submitted in a spreadsheet format shall be readable by MS Excel (all cells and formulas shall be unlocked).
