The following items are applicable to this modification:

AMENDED AREAS:

C. BID OPENING DATE: The Bid Opening Date is NOT EXTENDED by this Amendment; therefore, the BIDS are due by 2:00 p.m. CDT on 12 September 2012.

D. DELIVERY OF BIDS: PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING; however, detailed information regarding the submission of bids is located in SECTION 00010 of the Solicitation document.

Sealed Bids: Regardless of the method of delivery (mailed or hand-carried), bids and all other documents called out in the Solicitation shall be enclosed and sealed in an envelope that is clearly marked “Bid” and shall include the assigned Solicitation Number, and the Bid Opening Date and Time.

Mailed Bids: It is the responsibility of each bidder to ensure that its Sealed Bid is received by the Chicago District’s – USACE Contracting Branch, located at 111 North Canal Street, Suite 600, Chicago, Illinois 60606 prior to the date and time set of the opening of bids – See Block 13A of Page 1 of the Solicitation.

Hand – carried Bids Delivered on the Day of the Bid Opening: For bids being hand-carried on the day of the bid opening, the bidder shall CONTACT Elizabeth Newell at 312-846-5370 OR Regina Blair at 312-846-5371 to retrieve its Bid from the Lobby Area of the USACE’s office location, which is located at 111 North Canal Street, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Bidder’s may also hand carry their bids into the Bid Opening Room for date and time stamping; if doing so, the Bidder must arrive timely – SEE the below paragraph E. Regardless of the method of delivery, bids must be timely submitted to be considered.

E. BID OPENING ROOM: The designated Bid Opening Room is CHANGED FROM the Lobby Conference room TO the Main Conference Room, which is located on the 6th Floor at 111 North Canal Street, Chicago, Illinois 60606. If you are planning to attend the Bid Opening, you must obtain a Visitor’s Badge from the Security Desk located in the Lobby Area of the River Center Building, 111 N. Canal Street, Chicago, IL 60606.

Contractor’s are advised to arrive no later than 45 minutes prior to the Bid Opening to obtain the badge. The USACE will be taking requests for visitor badges within 48 hours prior to the Bid Opening; Contractor’s may contact Elizabeth Newell at 312-846-5370 or Regina Blair at 312-846-5371 to be added to the List. This will help to expedite your Visitor’s badge once you arrive at the Security desk. Regardless, all Contractors must obtain a physical Visitor’s Badge from the Security desk to obtain access to the 6th floor, where the Bid Opening Room is located.

F. REVISED BID SCHEDULE: Revisions to the Bid Schedule are discussed herein.

Therefore, this Amendment incorporates and provides a revised Bid Schedule. Bidders shall record their bid prices on the Revised Schedule, which shall be fully completed and accompany their Bid package.

G. USACE RESPONSES TO CONTRACTOR’S QUESTIONS: Provided below are the USACE’s responses to questions that have been submitted by Contractor’s since the issuance of Amendment 0001.

Question 1 What is the dollar amount required for the Highway Permit Bond (Pay Item #3)?

Response 1 With respect to Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0003, this Amendment 0003 incorporates the following extended description to discuss the particulars of the Highway Permit Bond. As a result of this amended area, Section 00010 of the Bid Schedule is revised; a replacement Section 00010 is provided herewith and shall be used to apply the Contractor’s pricing when placing its Bid. The following language is also being added to Specification Section 01 22 00.00. Although a revised Specification Section 01 22 00.00 is not being provided herein, this Specification change will be incorporated via the conformed, resulting contract.

"THIS IS A COST REIMBURSABLE LINE ITEM - The bondable amount of the highway permit is approximately $190K. The necessary forms to obtain the permit from IDOT will be provided to the Contractor at the Pre-Construction Meeting. Upon receipt, the forms shall be fully completed and furnished to IDOT prior to the start of work. The approximate turn-around time to process the permit is normally 10 working days.

The government will reimburse the contractor for the actual cost of the highway permit bond, upon receiving evidence of payment (paid invoice) from the bonding company or agency, NOT TO EXCEED the total amount of this contract line item. The Government will not pay more than the total line item amount for the bond. If the actual cost of the bonds is less than the line item amount, the contract will be modified to adjust the line item accordingly."

Question 2 Is there any IDOT restrictions for the lane closures on LaGrange Road (hours, days of week, holidays, etc.)?

Response 2 In accordance with IDOT Specs, it is assumed that the work will be performed under a day closure. Weekend and holiday closures are typically not permitted, though nothing specific is mentioned by IDOT at this time. Plating open excavations from November through March is not permitted (due to potential snow removal operations).

Question 3 Have all contract line item quantities been revised as required?

Response 3 This Amendment incorporates Bid Schedule changes to CLINs 0035 and 0036 as a result of incorrectly stated Units of Measure (U/M) therein – See the revised Bid Schedule attached hereto, which changes the U/M for CLIN 0035 to Linear feet (LF) and the U/M for CLIN 0036 to month (MO). Also, at Page 26 of Specification Section 01 22 00.00, the Unit of Measure for CLIN 0036 is changed to read as “Month” to agree with the change being made to the Bid Schedule. Although a revised Specification Section 01 22 00.00 is not being provided herein, this Specification change will be incorporated via the conformed, resulting contract.

Question 4 Will there be an extension in the bid opening date due to unanswered questions?

Response 4 Yes; by way of Amendment 0002, which was issued on 5 September 2012, the bid opening date has been extended to September 12, 2012; thus, Bids are due to the USACE by 2p.m. CDT on September 12, 2012.

TOTAL BID PRICE:

LINE ITEMS 0001 THROUGH 0042: $__________________________

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. BID SCHEDULE NOTES: The Bid Schedule contains a combination of firm fixed price (FFP) and cost reimbursable line items. Although this is a “FFP” Contract, the cost reimbursable line items will be reimbursed as stated within the extended description of the said line items.

2. BID CONDITIONS:

a. Contractor’s shall bid ALL items that are contained in the Bid Schedule, with no exceptions. Should a contractor fail to fully complete the bid schedule, its bid will not be considered responsive to the solicitation and eligible for the resultant contract award. Therefore, the bidder’s total price for the work shall be based on the TOTAL of all BID ITEMS included in the Bid Schedule; the Contractor shall enter both its unit price and extended price for EACH BID ITEM.

b. The Government intends to award all BASE BID ITEMS to the successful bidder at the bid prices provided under its winning bid schedule.

c. Split awards or multiple award contracts will not result from this Solicitation.

3. COMPETITION: Competition for this acquisition is RESTRICTED TO SMALL

BUSINESS CONCERNS.

4. AWARDING OF OPTIONS: At the government’s discretion, any, all or none of the Option Line Items (CLINS 0038 through 0042) may be awarded no later than 230 days after the Notice to Proceed has been acknowledged. No additional time will be added to the contract for award of Option CLINS. Should the government determine it necessary to exercise an Option (Line Items 0038 through 0041), Options may be awarded in any order at the government’s discretion. The order of awarding the Options does not apply to the Payment and Performance Bond (Line Item 0042); additional bonding is required any time the contract value is increased, meaning Option Item 0042 must be awarded if any of the options are exercised.

5. SUBMISSION OF BIDS:

a. BIDS OR MODIFICATIONS TO BIDS THAT ARE RECEIVED BY FACSIMILE OR TELETYPE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. All sealed Bids must be submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth in BLOCK NO. 13 of PAGE 1 of this Solicitation Document.

through 20C.)

d. SECTION 00600 (REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS): The bidder must fully complete Section 00600 of this Solicitation and submit it along with all other documents required by this Solicitation. Bids received without this Section fully completed may be rejected, considered non-responsive and ineligible for award.

e. BID GUARANTEE: The bidder is required to submit a Bid Guarantee for this procurement. Any bidder failing to submit an authentic Bid Guarantee will be considered non-responsive to the Solicitation and ineligible for award. The Bid Guarantee shall be in the amount of 20% percent of the bidder’s bid price or $3,000,000.00, whichever is less.

f. DELIVERY OF BIDS:

Sealed Bids: Regardless of the method of delivery (mailed or hand-carried), bids and all other documents called out in the Solicitation shall be enclosed and sealed in an envelope that is clearly marked “Bid” and shall include the assigned Solicitation Number, and the Bid Opening Date and Time.
