IMPORTANT BID NOTES

THE ABOVE SOLICITATION SECTION 00 10 00 IS TO BE USED BY BIDDERS TO SUBMIT THEIR BIDS;

IT IS ALSO CONSIDERED THE “BID SCHEDULE” AS TERMED THROUGHOUT THE SOLICITATION.

1. BID CONDITIONS:

a. The Contractor shall bid ALL items that are contained in the Bid Schedule INCLUDING ALL OPTION ITEMS, 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 BASE AND OPTION 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 a contract to the responsive, responsible bidder submitting the lowest aggregate price for all items (including the Options) in the bid schedule.

c. Split or mulitple awards will not result from this Solicitation.

2. OPTION PROVISIONS & RELATED PERFORMANCE TIMEFRAMES:

The contract planned for this acquisition is a firm fixed price construction contract. At its inception, the government intends to award all Base Work (Items 0001 through 0015). The contract will incorporate options. If and when an option(s) is exercised, the government will implement the following timelines as described below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Exercising of any Option Item occurs by way of a formal modification to the contract. No separate Notice to Proceed is issued once a modification is awarded. The contractor will be responsible for providing additional bonding coverage within 10 calendar days after the execution of the option modification.

The schedule for awarding options is based upon the Notice to Proceed, while taking into account the Base Work ending 780 calendar days following the contractor’s acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed.

(1) OPTION 1 ITEMS (Items 0016 through 0026): The government, at its discretion, may award any, all or none of the items under Option 1 Items. If an option is exercised, it will result by an award within 180 calendar days following the Contractor’s acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed. At such time of option award, the government will extend the contract time by 180 calendar days. Note, should the government separately award any of the option items under “Option 1 Items,” the time extension would only be applied one time, which would occur under the first option modification. Regardless of the number of option items awarded, additional bond coverage will be required, equating to the entire contract “increase” (Re: Clause Section 00 70 00, FAR Clause No. 52.228‐15).

(2) OPTION 2 ITEMS (Items 0027 through 0035): The government, at its discretion, may award any, all or none of the items under Option 2 Items. If an option is exercised, it will result by an award within 545 calendar days following the Contractor’s acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed. At such time of option award (for any Option 2 Items), no additional performance time will be added to the contract. The government intends for the work of Option 2 Items to be accomplished within the time extension allocated for Option 1 Items. Regardless of the number of option items awarded, additional bond coverage will be required, equating to the entire contract “increase” (Re: Clause Section 00 70 00, FAR Clause No. 52.228‐15).

(3) OPTION 3 ITEMS (Item 0036): The government, at its discretion, may award any, all or none of the items under Option 3 Items. If an option is exercised, it will result by an award within 180 calendar days following the Contractor’s acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed. At such time of option award, no additional performance time will be added to the contract. The government intends for the work of Option 3 Items to be accomplished within the time extension allocated for Option 1 Items. Regardless of the number of option items awarded, additional bond coverage will be required, equating to the entire

(4) OPTION 4 ITEMS (Items 0037 through 0039): The government, at its discretion, may award any, all or none of the items under Option 4 Items. If an option is exercised, it will result by an award within 545 calendar days following the Contractor’s acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed. At such time of option award (for any Option 4 Items), no additional performance time will be added to the contract. The government intends for the work of Option 4 Items to be accomplished within the time extension allocated for Option 1 Items. Regardless of the number of option items awarded, additional bond coverage will be required, equating to the entire contract “increase” (Re: Clause Section 00 70 00, FAR
