PERFORMANCE EVAL-CONSTRUCTION

Contractor Performance Evaluations – Construction In accordance with the provisions of Subpart 36.201(Evaluation of Contractor Performance) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), construction contractor’s performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in Engineering Regulation 415-1-17 to fulfill this FAR requirement. For construction contracts awarded at or above $550,000.00, the USACE will evaluate contractor’s performance and prepare a performance report using the Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), which is now a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Accessing and using CCASS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user’s computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 -$125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.navy.mil/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CCASS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

6. Section 01 35 26, paragraph 1.3.1.1.4 “Safety Personnel Training Requirements”: Delete this paragraph in its entirety and replace with the following:

The SSHO shall meet the training and experience requirements of EM 385-1-1, Chapter 2-3.b. Level 1 SSHOs are not permitted to supervise non-safety personnel at the site of work.

Note: The size limit for incoming emails is 35MB. Any bid/proposal over this size may not be accepted by the server and will constitute the bid not being received timely. Please note that embedded links, URLs, and other html language included may interfere with the USACE server security, which may cause emails to be removed prior to being received by the contracting office.

Bidders are advised to refrain from including external links, embedded links, URLs, and other html language not germane to the proposal/bid. Please note it is a bidder’s responsibility, when transmitting its bid electronically, to ensure the receipt of its bid to the proper designee at the proper time.

If your email would exceed 35MB you can use one of the following methods as a work-around:

A. Use .zip files as attachments. Combine multiple files into a .zip file to compress file size prior to adding as an email attachment.
