NOTE: BIDDERS MAY SUBMIT BIDS BY ONLY ONE METHOD: A) ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

Electronic Submission of Bids/Proposals (Email):

The New Orleans District utilizes electronic commerce (Email) for receipt of electronic bids under this IFB solicitation. To submit an electronic commerce (Email) bid please follow these steps:

1. Send an email containing your name, email address and bid/proposal to the following emails associated with the IFB (MUST include all emails):

2. ALL BIDS SUBMITTED BY EMAIL MUST CONTAIN THE SOLICITATION NUMBER IN

THE SUBJECT LINE.

3. Once the agency receives your bid/proposal at the above email addresses, you will then receive a confirmation email stating your bid/proposal was received. If a bidder does not receive a reply acknowledging receipt electronically from the New Orleans District, it is incumbent upon the bidder to seek confirmation from the issuing Contracting office by phone.

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 USAGE 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. See FAR 14.304(b)(1 )(i) regarding untimely electronic bids. Please note, MVN's computer system firewall may cause a delay in receipt of emails, so be sure to allow ample time for possible delay. If your email would exceed 35MB you can use one of the following methods as a work-around:

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

• Send multiple emails. Label each email with same subject line and indicate number of emails.

For example: Smith Construction W912P825BXXXX (1 of 2) Smith Construction W912P825BXXXX (2 of 2).
