1.2 BID FORM NOTES

a. Bidders shall bid on all items including optional items. Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid.

b. Bidders shall use the Item Number 0002 unit price to compute Item Number 0003 total price.

c. Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only the total price of the bid, but the prices for individual line items as well.

Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or subline items are materially unbalanced (see "Proposal Analysis Techniques" FAR 15.404-1(g)(3)).

d. The Notice to Proceed (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442 after Notice of Award. The NTP will be issued after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within 48 hours after issuance of NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Quality Control System is set-up, the Accident Prevention Program and other required submittals have been submitted and approved, and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract have been conducted.

e. RAPID VENDOR PAYMENT: See the following web based instructions for the submission of invoices:

http://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/BusinessWithUs/Contracting/RapidVendorPayment

f. The unit "job" is a one-time payment for work performed. "Job" is synonymous with the previously used term "lump sum".

1.3 BIDDING

a. The bidder must select only one bid lot, determined by the class of dredge intended to be used. Bids which are submitted on an inappropriate bid lot will be declared non-responsive.

b. Bidders shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items that require unit prices. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required items but does furnish an extended total or an estimated amount for such items, the Government will deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended estimated amount for that line item by the quantity. IF THE BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED

ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY REQUIRED ITEM, THE BID WILL BE DECLARED

NON-RESPONSIVE.

1.4 EVALUATION OF BIDS

a. To provide fair competition between dredges of different production rate and capacity, the required dredging quantities and any optional dredging quantities are based on an estimated quantity of shoal material and on the tested production rate of each dredge class.

SECTION 00010 Page 11

b. Award will be made to that responsible Bidder presenting the lowest-priced responsive bid in response to this solicitation, regardless of the bid lot used.

c. The hourly quantity shown on the bid lots for Bid Items designated as "Dredging" are 100% pay time hours. The actual calendar duration of the contract may vary as a result of fractional pay time. Refer to Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Dredging and Option Dredging Items" for additional information.

1.5 CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT AWARD

a. Award will be made as a whole to one bidder. The dredge and attendant plant offered in the bidding schedule shall be complete with full operating personnel and in operating status for the contract period. EM 385-1-1, Section 19, "Floating Plant and Marine Activities" shall be complied with at all times. NOTE: All work under these specifications shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of EM 385-1-1 "Army Corps or Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual", latest edition.

b. The Government may award the contract at the total bid price, comprised of the base items and option item(s); however, the Government will not be obligated to exercise any option item(s).

c. The number of rental time hours for each bid lot of the bidding schedule are estimated quantities. The dredge and attendant plant will be retained for an approximate number of days according to the table below starting no later than 120 hours after receipt of Notice to Proceed by the Contractor.

d. The bidder must be capable of providing for assignment of the dredge and all attendant plant, complete and in full operating condition in all respects, no later than 120 hours after receipt of Notice to Proceed by the Contractor.

1.6 BIDDER QUALIFICATIONS

a. Before the Government will award a contract based on this solicitation, the apparent low bidder shall establish that it is responsible and entitled to award of the contract, by certifying that its dredge meets the appropriate production rate, as listed in the table of Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Dredge Plant". The dredge must perform at or above the listed production rate at least 85% of the time, as established by other contracts completed within three years prior to the bid opening date of this solicitation. Failure to establish an adequate capability will result in a finding of non-responsibility.

b. A bidder may be rejected as non-responsible if it cannot show the necessary capital, experience, or equipment needed to perform the work described under this solicitation (see "Responsible Prospective Contractors" FAR 9.1). The bidder must also show that the dredge and attendant plant is not already obligated for the performance of other work that would delay commencement, performance, and completion of the solicited work; and must show that delivery of the dredge and attendant plant to the site of work can be made within the time allowed in the specifications.

c. Bidders must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) database in accordance with FAR 52.204-7 and DFARS 252.204-7004 Alt A.

SECTION 00010 Page 13

1.7 PRE-AWARD INSPECTION OF PLANT

a. The apparent low bidder shall make the dredge and attendant plant available for inspection, to determine compliance with these specifications, as soon as practicable after bids are opened and prior to contract award. If deficiencies are found during the inspection, the bidder will be notified in writing, which may be transmitted by email or facsimile. Upon receipt of such notice, the bidder shall correct all deficiencies at least two calendar days in advance of the projected contract award date.

b. Two calendar days before the projected award date or upon notification by the bidder that the deficiencies have been corrected, a Government representative will re-inspect the dredge and attendant plant. If at that time the dredge and attendant plant do not meet the requirements of these specifications, the bidder will be rejected as non-responsible.

c. The Government may choose to waive the pre-award inspection if the projected contract award date is less than five calendar days after the bid opening date. Waiver of the pre-award inspection does not relieve the bidder from the requirement to provide a dredge and attendant plant in full compliance with the specifications.

1.8 OPTION ITEMS

a. The Government may require the delivery of, in whole or part, any Option Items. The Government may exercise an Option Item by written notice to the Contractor. If the Government activates the Option Item, the activation will occur while the Contractor's equipment is in the work vicinity as described in the applicable Dredging Region Section(s). If "Option Dredging" Item work is exercised, it shall be performed as a continuance of "Dredging" Item work, which shall be activated first.

b. No additional mobilization/demobilization will be paid to the Contractor for Option Item work performed within the work region. The Contractor shall commence performance of optional work no more than 3 calendar days after the time the Contractor receives the Government's Notice to Proceed with the optional work.

Section 35 20 23.23, Paragraph 2.2 "Gages"

2.2 GAGES

a. Staff gages or recording gages are present in each dredging region, which indicate the water surface elevation. The locations of the appropriate gages will be provided by the Contracting Officer at the pre-work conference. These gages shall be read a minimum of twice a day, while dredging is performed, at the direction of the Contracting Officer.

b. Project depths for all dredging regions are measured from 0.0 feet MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water) datum except where otherwise stated within paragraph entitled "Location and Description of Work". The required actual depths are determined as the listed project depth plus the gage reading.

c. The gage for the Calcasieu River is located at the Lake Charles Pilots dock two miles southwest of Cameron, LA.

d. The following staff gages shall be used for the Southwest Pass dredging region.

GAGE NAME (ID) LOCATION (MILE) GAGE CORRECTION

TO MLLW

Venice (01480) 10.5 AHP (RDB) (-) 0.30

Pilottown (01525) 2.0 AHP (LDB) (-) 0.30

Mile 7.5 (01575) -7.5 BHP (LDB) 0.17

Light #14 (01625) -12.0 BHP (LDB) 0.39

East Jetty (01670) -17.9 BHP (LDB) 0.68

Note: All gages are set to NAVD88 (2009.55). The gage corrections shall be added to the gage readings to adjust them to MLLW.

e. Project depths for the Mississippi River Crossings are measured from the Low Water Reference Plane (LWRP). The gages for this area are set to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). The required actual depths are determined as the water surface elevation plus the project depth, minus the LWRP elevation. At some crossings, linear interpolation between gages may be required to determine the water surface elevation and LWRP elevation.

f. The Contractor shall furnish a Hazen or compatible remote, automatic recording tide gage that may be monitored aboard the dredge.

However, it shall be understood that this gage is not to be used for reducing surveys of the channel.

g. This information is provided to comply with the requirements outlined in EM 1110-2-6056, Standards and Procedures for Referencing Project Elevation Grades to Nationwide Vertical Datums. This engineering manual outlines the requirement to reference all coastal navigation projects to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). The relationship to the authorized project datum, Mean Low Gulf (MLG), is provided below for reference.

For Southwest Pass, 0.0 feet MLLW = 3.5 feet MLG.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or

"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
