GENERAL NOTICES

1. NEGOTIATIONS AFTER BIDS.

The Government has the option to reject bids received in response to the Invitation for Bids, convert the Solicitation to a Request for Proposal (RFP) and initiate negotiations with offerors.

2. AMENDMENTS PRIOR TO DATE SET FOR PROPOSAL.

The right is reserved, as the interest of the Government may require, to revise or amend the specifications and/or drawings prior to the date set for proposal. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

5. 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.

6. EVALUTION OF CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

In accordance with the provisions of FAR Subpart 36.201, Evaluation of Contractor Performance, Construction contractors’ performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. USACE follows the procedures outlined in Engineering Regulation 415-1-17 to fulfill this requirement.

7. DEFINITIONS

(a) “Contracting Officer” means a person with the authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings. The term includes certain authorized representatives of the Contracting Officer acting within the limits of their authority as delegated by the Contracting Officer.

SUBCONTRACTING PLAN REQUIREMENT

A Subcontracting Plan is not required at the time of the bid. Only the apparent low bidder must submit an acceptable Subcontracting Plan meeting the requirements of FAR 52.219-9 and DFARS 252.219-7003 (or DFARS 252.219- 7004 if the offeror has a comprehensive subcontracting plan) within three (3) days of notification that they are the apparent lowest bidder. The DoD Checklist for Reviewing Subcontracting Plans is provided for your information (Attachment 3), as it is what will be used to evaluation the Subcontracting Plan for approval.

Small Business Participation Goal:

Small Business (SB) – 30%

Small Business Socio-Economic Categories:

Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) – 5% Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) – 5% HUBZone-Certified Small Business (HUBZone) - %3 Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) – 3% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) – 3%

A percentage goal of greater than 0% should be provided for all Small Business Socio-Economic Categories; if a percentage goal of 0% is provided for any Small Business Socio-Economic Category, a justification is required of why there will be no attempt made to include that category in your small business participation. This required information will be used to evaluate the extent of your proposed participation/commitment to use U.S. small businesses in the performance of this acquisition. The Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated into any resulting contract.

Other than small business contractors may achieve the small business participation goals through subcontracting to small businesses.

Small business contractors may achieve small business participation goals through their own performance/participation as a prime and through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and subcontracting to other small businesses.

The total contract value is to be calculated based on the total dollar amount of the offer (i.e. Small Business dollars + Large Business dollars = Total dollars). The Government will evaluate dollars, not only percentages.

A Quarterly Report will be due to the Small Business Specialist to monitor the progress to meet the commitment of the Small Business Commitment Document. Liquidated damages will be assessed if the Subcontracting Plan is not met, in accordance with FAR clause 52.219-16.
