2. PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS

Performance and Payment bonds will be required after award. See clause 52.228-15, PERFORMANCE AND

Such revisions or amendments, if any, will be provided by amendment(s) to this Invitation for Bid. If the revision or amendments are of a nature which require material changes in quantities or prices or both, the due date set for bid may be extended. In such case, the amendments will include the new due date for bid submission.

4. BUSINESS INTEGRITY

The offeror as a condition of award of any contract resulting from this solicitation may be required to execute a certificate related to Business Integrity.

5. CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE WORK

The offeror may visit the site and take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and the general and local conditions which can affect the work or the cost thereof. Failure to do so will not relieve offeror from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work. The Government will assume no responsibility for any understanding or representations concerning conditions made by any of its officers or agents prior to the execution of the contract, unless included in the Request for Proposal, the specifications, or related documents. No official site visit will be scheduled.

6. OFFEROR QUALIFICATIONS

A determination of contractor responsibility will be made. A determination of non-responsibility may be cause for the rejection of a prospective contractor’s offer. In accordance with FAR 9.104-1, General Standards, before an offer is considered for award, the offeror shall be requested by the Government to submit a statement regarding their previous experience in performing comparable work, their business and technical organization, financial resources, the plant available to be used in performing the work and/or other information necessary to make the determination of contractor responsibility.

7. SITE OF THE WORK

The offeror is advised that for the purpose of applicability of the Davis-Bacon Act and other contract labor standard provisions, “the site of the work” under the contract to be awarded pursuant to this solicitation may not be limited to the physical place(s) where the construction called for in the contract will remain when work on it has been completed. The “site of work” may include other adjacent or nearby property used by the Contractor or Subcontractors during such construction. For example, fabrication plants, mobile factories, batch plants, borrow pits, job headquarters, tool yards, etc., will be considered part of the site of the work provided they are dedicated exclusively or nearly so to performance on the contract and are so located in proximity to the actual construction location that it would be reasonable to include them.

8. INFORMATION REGARDING OFFER MATERIAL, AND BONDS

a. Specifications, Plans, Bid Schedule, Pre-award Information/Description of Work/Offer Evaluation, Construction Contract Clauses, and Wage Determination Decisions of the Secretary of Labor are parts of this solicitation.

b. (1) An offeror electing to use individual sureties for performance and payment bonds must submit, concurrently with the bonds and required affidavits, a statement of both the business and personal names of the persons and/or brokerages firms through whom the bonds were obtained, together with the address and telephone number of the persons and/or brokerage firms.

(2) Offerors should note that some individual sureties and brokers of individual sureties have been debarred or suspended from offering themselves or others as sureties to the Government. Offerors are responsible for ascertaining the current status of their sureties and brokers.
