ATTENTION TO BIDDERS:

1. FACTS ABOUT THE USE OF INDIVIDUAL SURETIES

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 28.200) permits the use of individual sureties for bid, payment and performance bonds. However, the conditions that must be met are strict, and they may not be waived. Further, the FAR imposes limits with respect to the type of property interest individual sureties may utilize.

Individual sureties have been occasionally and successfully used in accordance with FAR requirements within the San Francisco District, when real property interests have not been provided as the security interest. On at least one occasion, an individual surety was made acceptable when an individual personally known to a bidder provided a business property for the security interest, and legal counsel was engaged to navigate and implement the FAR requirements.

Bidders or proposers considering utilizing individuals or firms providing “brokerage” or “insurance” services to obtain bonds from individual sureties are advised to carefully research their backgrounds. The Government is not responsible for and will not reimburse any bidder for advance payments made to such firms in the event that the bonds are unacceptable to the contracting officer.

The San Francisco District strictly follows the FAR 28.203 “Acceptability of individual sureties.” Frequently, an individual surety’s bid bond raises questions about the real property security interest being offered. Also, individual sureties may use “altered” Standard Form 28 affidavits, which are unacceptable. Documentation containing such flaws will result in rejection of the bonds, and, if it is a bid bond, rejection of the bid.

Some “brokers” apparently represent that “their bonds” are accepted by federal government entities. Yet, be aware that not all federal agencies implement the FAR in a uniform manner. Insufficiencies that go unnoticed by one agency may be perceived as fatal by another.

The risk of such results rests with the bidder offering the bid bond.

Know your broker, and ensure that all bonding documents comply with FAR requirements before you submit them. It is important to remember that the contracting officer is vested with a wide degree of discretion and business judgment in determining the acceptability of an individual surety, and the Comptroller General has stated that he will not question such a determination so long as it is reasonable.

So, please make certain that if you intend to use an individual surety you are familiar with the regulations and specific requirements that apply to this form of bonding.

2.2 ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS

A written award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

2.3 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PRE-AWARD SURVEY

To determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR Part 9, the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and/or plant to be used in performing the work (see Attachment 2, Pre-award Survey).

The Government will request this information from the eligible contractor after receipt of offer if they have not had a contract with the San Francisco District within the last twelve months and the Government will set a due date for its submission.

1. The Pre-award Survey is attached to the solicitation for information purposes only and is not required as part of the Proposal package.

(a) If required to determine that a prospective contractor is responsible, the offeror must:

1) Demonstrate that they have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

2) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments.

3) Have a satisfactory performance record. In making the determination of responsibility, the Government Contracting Officer shall consider relevant past performance information. A prospective contractor shall not be determined as responsible or not responsible solely based on a lack of relevant performance history except when there are special standards set forth in the solicitation, which applies, to all offerors that must be met in order to receive the award. These special standards may be necessary when unusual expertise or specialized facilities are necessary in the performance of the contract; therefore, in order to be determined as responsible for a particular contract, the offeror must be able to meet those special standards. A prospective contractor that is or recently has been seriously deficient in contract performance shall be presumed to be nonresponsive unless the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances were beyond the contractor's control or that the contractor has taken appropriate corrective action.

Other responsibility considerations by the Contracting Officer will include past efforts by the contractor to apply sufficient tenacity and perseverance to perform acceptably, to meet quality requirements of contracts, and the contractor's past compliance with subcontracting plans (if required) under recent contracts.

4) Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

5) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable

Section 00 21 00 Page 5 to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors).

6) Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

7) Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

2.4 PREPARATION OF SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (SEP 2004)

(a) See FAR 52.219-9, Section 00 72 00, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, incorporated by reference into this contract in Section 00 72 00.

(b) The Small Business Subcontracting Plan is not required from the low bidder until after the Bid Opening; it is not required as part of the bid package. After the Bid Opening, if the selected bidder fails to submit an acceptable plan within the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the bidder will be ineligible for award.

(c) Contact Mr. Theodore T. Turney, Chief, Contracting Division, (415) 503-6990, with questions on the Small Business Subcontracting Plan requirements.

(d) The acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated into and made a material part of the contract.

(e) The Corps of Engineers high encourages all bidders/offerors to meet the recommended subcontracting goals as follows:

Small Businesses 23.0%

Small, Disadvantaged Businesses 5.0%

Women-Owned Small Businesses 5.0%

HUBZone Small Business 3.0%

Veteran-Owned Small Businesses 3.0%

Service Disabled Veteran Owned

Small Business 3.0%

The goals are calculated as a percentage of the TOTAL SUBCONTRACTING DOLLARS, NOT THE TOTAL

CONTRACT AMOUNT.
