INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

INSTRUCTIONS 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:

1. Send an email containing your name and email address to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist associated with the IFB:

Contracting Officer – Ms. Stacie M. Osborne, email: Stacie.M.Osborne@usace.army.mil Contract Specialist – Ms. Edith M. Brandon, email: Edith.M.Brandon@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.

6. In the Description box that appears after uploading your file, please type your Company

Name.

7. Click the button that appears at the bottom of the page, “Drop-off Files”. A banner will popup asking for confirmation that your upload does not contain Classified Information. Click ok on the banner.

8. You will be taken to a confirmation page that should say, “Drop-Off Completed” at the top.

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

9. The Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist will receive an automated email stating that the file has been submitted. They will then send an email back to the company, confirming that they received the notice from the DoD Safe site.

The Bid Opening is currently scheduled for Thursday, 15 July 2021 at 11:00 AM CST. The Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist will begin downloading bids at 10:30 AM CST, which is the bid receipt cutoff time. All bids received after 10:30 AM CST on Monday, 26 July 2021 will be considered late.

Audio Teleconference Bid Opening Information:

Bid Opening will be held on Thursday, 15 July 2021 at 11:00 AM CST. Please use the following call-in information to attend the meeting:

Following the conclusion of the bid opening, the Bid Abstract will be uploaded to www.beta.SAM.gov website under this solicitation, within 24 hours.

Bid Bonds (Offer Guarantee) should be submitted electronically with the Bid Package as per the scheduled Bid Opening on Amendment. As per Class Deviation 2020-O0016, Electronic signatures and electronic, mechanically applied, or printed dates may be used and shall be considered original signatures and dates. In addition, a Corporate Seal is not required, the SF 28 need not be sworn and notarized and a written authorization of the release signed by the surety is acceptable in lieu of the notarized authorization of release by the surety. Original Certified Bonds need not be submitted at time of bid.

The following deviation clauses now apply, in lieu of the corresponding FAR clauses:

• 52.228-11, Pledges of Assets (DEVIATION 2020-O0016), which removes the requirement for the Standard Form 28 to be sworn and notarized.

• 52.228-15, Performance and Payment Bonds—Construction (DEVIATION 2020-O0016), which removes the requirements for seals on Standard Forms.

• 52.228-16, Performance and Payment Bonds—Other than Construction (DEVIATION 2020-O0016), which removes requirements for seals on Standard Forms.
