INSTRUCTION TO BIDDERS

Due to the response for COVID-19, most federal employees have been mandated to telework, and currently only authorized personnel are allowed access to the District buildings throughout USACE. As a result, we have implemented the below procedures for all current and future bid openings, until such restrictions have been lifted and normal access has resumed at the MVN HQ Building.

Electronic Submission of Bids:

MVN will utilize the DoD Safe website for receipt of electronic bids under IFB Solicitations. In order to submit an electronic bid please follow these steps:

Contracting Officer – Ms. Veronica Garner Flint, email: veronica.garner-flint@usace.army.mil Contract Specialist – Ms. Karen Hargrave, email: karen.d.hargrave@usace.army.mil

2. The Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist will go to the DoD Safe site, input your name and email address, and then will request the file from you. You will then receive an automated email from the site with a unique link in the email.

3. Once the email with the link is received, please click on the link in the email, which will take you to the DoD Safe site.

4. This will be a unique webpage where you can upload your file. The default page will load with the box checked off next to, “Send me an email when each recipient picks up the files”.

Please leave this box checked in order to receive a notification when the file is received from the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist. Please leave unchecked, “Encrypt every file”. The site itself contains a high level of security in which additional encryption is not required.

5. When you are ready to upload your bid file (please use pdf format for bid submission), you can either click the blue button which says, “Click to Add Files or Drag Them Here” to locate the file on your computer, or simply drag the file onto the screen.

This is your confirmation that your file was successfully uploaded to the site.
