CONTRACT AWARD

A contract will be awarded on the basis of price and other factors to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder in accordance with FAR 52.214-19. Contract award will be made based on the lowest cost to the O&M Dredging Program. In the event a bidder or bidders submit bids under the Alternate Pricing Schedule, the lowest responsive bid submitted under the Pricing Schedule (Total Evaluation Price) will be compared to the lowest bid submitted under the Alternate Pricing Schedule (Total Alternate Evaluation Price). The O&M cost share associated with Government provided off loading at the Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project will be added to the Total Price submitted under the Pricing Schedule to determine the Total Evaluation Price.

Notes:

*QUANTITY IS AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT, SEE SECTION 00700, FAR 52.211-18 AND

EFARS 52.211-5000, 52.211-5001, FOR SUBDIVIDED BID ITEMS AND FOR VARIATION

IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES CONTRACT CLAUSE.

1. Prices must be submitted on all individual items of the Pricing Schedule. Failure to do so may be cause for rejection of bids. Prices may at each Bidder’s discretion be submitted on all individual items of the Alternate Pricing Schedule.

2. If a modification to a price based on unit price is submitted which provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated price, the applications of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price in the Pricing Schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the bidder/offeror agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the Pricing Schedule.

3. The lump sum, "LS", line items above are not "estimated quantity" line items and therefore are not subject to the Variation in Quantity contract clause.

4. EFARS 52.214-5000 ARITHMETIC DISCREPANCIES

(a) For the purpose of initial evaluation of bids, the following will be utilized in the resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of Pricing 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 the 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.

5. Bidders must complete and submit attached “Dredging Plant and Equipment Schedule”, forms P.1 and P.2 as part of their solicitation package for bid evaluation. Failure to do so may cause the bid to be considered nonresponsive. The Contractor shall demonstrate that all necessary equipment will be available and committed to this contract.

6. DREDGED QUANTITIES: For payment purposes, all quantities for which the Government will pay under this contract shall be based on the Government pre and post dredge surveys.

7. HAMILTON OFF LOADER OPERATION The Hamilton off Loader is operated by the Manson-Dutra Joint Venture [MDJV] under Contract NO. WP 912P7-07-C-0001, Oakland Navigation Improvement -50 ft Deepening Project Phase 3E, Oakland Inner and Outer Harbor, Alameda and San Francisco Counties. Bidders are advised that the dredged material to be disposed of at the HWRP will be off loaded with a hydraulic offloader, and pumped through several booster pumps and through approximately 35,000 to 40,000 lineal feet of pipeline. As such, the successful bidder is cautioned that its work plan and execution will require coordination with the MDJV and will further require certain equipment and production limitations as described in these contract documents. For coordination of additional requirements and/or further details relating to the Hamilton Off Loader, please contact Manson- Dutra JV, Attention: Terry Hammerwold, Telephone number 415/ 884-2973.

8. It is anticipated that a contract may be awarded to the lowest responsive responsible bidder Submitting a bid under the “bid Schedule – Government Furnished site”. Should award be made this bid schedule, the costs of disposal of this material at the Government furnished site will be paid for by the Federal authorized Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project.

9. BASIS of AWARD: A contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder in accordance with FAR 52.214-19.

The O&M cost share associated with Government provided off loading at the Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project will be added to the Total Bid submitted under the Bid Schedule – Government Furnished Site to determine the Government Furnished Site – Total Evaluation Bid.

10. In the event a bidder or bidders submit bids under the Bid Schedule – Contractor Furnished Site, the lowest responsive, responsible Contractor Furnished Site – Total Evaluation Bid received will be compared to the lowest responsive, responsible Government Furnished Site – Total Evaluation Bid received. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bid identified from this comparison.
