(1). Business Integrity-The apparent successful bidder as a condition for award of any contract resulting from this solicitation may be required to execute a certificate related to Business Integrity.

(2). 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 or 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 $100,000.00, USACE will evaluate Contractor’s Performance and prepare a performance report using the construction contractor appraisal support system (CPAR), 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 CPAR 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 certification per year and is purchase from an external certification authorities (ECA) vendor, current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the website:

http://www.cpars.gov If the contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPAR and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the contractor.

M. NEGOTIATIONS AFTER SEALED BIDDING - The Government has the option to reject all bids received in response to the sealed bid advertisement and initiate negotiation.

Negotiations will include soliciting offers from each responsible bidder that submits a bid in response to the Invitation for Bids. If, after bid opening, the Contracting Officer determines that negotiations are in the best interest of the Government; the following steps will be followed:

(a) An amendment to the sealed bid advertisement will be issued to each responsible bidder changing the Invitation for Bids Number to Request for Proposals Number.

(b) A cover letter signed by the negotiator will accompany the amendment explaining the procedures to be followed during negotiations.

NOTES

NOTE 1: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items, which 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 his 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 ITEM, HIS BID WILL BE

DECLARED NONRESPONSIVE.

In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid. If the bidder shows only the total price but fails to enter a unit price, the total divided by the estimated quantity will be held to be the intended unit price. Any bid price for items indicated above which are unbalanced as to price may be rejected as non-responsive. An unbalanced bid is one which is based on price significantly less than cost for some work and price which is significantly overstated for other work. Award will be made as a whole to one bidder.

NOTE 2: If a bid or modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted and provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price, including lump sum units, in bid schedule must be stated, or, if it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

NOTE 3: Bidders are cautioned to read Contract Clause entitled "FAR 52.204-7, System for Award Management (MAY 2014) located in Section 00100.

AC = Acre CF = Cubic Feet CY = Cubic Yard DH = Miles EA = Each FC = 1000 Cubic Feet FT = Foot HF = 100 Feet

HH = 100 Cubic Feet HL = 100 Linear Feet HR = Hours HS = 100 Square Feet HY = 100 Yards LB = Pound LF = Linear Foot LH = Labor Hour JA = Job (lump sum) LY = Linear Yard MO = Months SB = Square Mile SF = Square Foot SQ = Square SY = Square Yard TL = 1000 Linear Feet TN = Net Ton UN = Unit YD = Yard YL = 100 Linear Yards YM = Cubic Yards Per Mile All quantities are estimated except where unit is given as "JA" or "EA".
