Christina M. Chavez 213-452-3246

Construction contract for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Sensor Platform Fence (formerly referred to as a Security Perimeter Fence) around the Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Mission Complex located in the northeast corner of Creech AFB, NV. The project will include construction of circulation control fences within the Mission Complex secured area to provide secondary security and compartmentalize access at seven (7) Base-identified critical facilities and areas. Most excavation will be hydraulic and hand digging with little mechanical excavation allowed.

Both a technical proposal and a price proposal will be required. The basis for award is Best Value, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if the Contracting Officer later determines them necessary.

The estimated cost range of this procurement is $10,000,000 - $25,000,000.

The proposed project will be a 100% Small Business Set-Aside Competitive Procurement.

SECTION 00 10 00 -2

NOTES:

1. EVALUATION: The Government intends to issue a contract resulting from the Request for Proposal (RFP) to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors by using the procedure as described in Sections 00110 and 00120. The award decision will be based on a comparative assessment in proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation.

2. Award of the Base will be made to one offeror. Offerors must submit a price on all items, in the Pricing Schedule to be eligible for award.

3. ARITHMETIC DISCREPANCIES:

(a) For the purpose of initial evaluation of bids, the following will be utilized in the resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of bidding schedule as submitted by the offeror:

(1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(2) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price shall govern, and in a discrepancy between the sum of extended prices and the stated total for the base or optional items, the sum of the extended prices will govern;

(3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(4) Apparent errors in addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

(b) For the purposes of bid evaluation, the government will proceed on the assumption that the offeror intends his bid to be evaluated on basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the bid will be so reflected on the abstract of bids.

(c) These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which bid is low. (EFARS 52.214-5000)

4. The lump sum, “L.S.” line items above are not “estimated quantity” line items and therefore are not subject to the Variation in Quantity contract clause. Will variation of quantity be required for CLIN 0007

5. PROGRESS PAYMENT REQUESTS made by the Contractor pursuant to the provisions of Contract Clause, PAYMENTS UNDER FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS, shall be submitted on ENG FORM 93 to the administration office as designated in Section 00100. ENG FORM 93 shall be submitted to that office on the 20th day of each month in appropriate form and certified. Photocopies of the form shall be furnished on that same date to the Corps of Engineers offices designated at the Pre-Construction Conference.

6. MANDATORY WORK STOPPAGES

(a) A mandatory work stoppage occurs whenever the Contractor is restricted from working a full workday and is unable to reallocate work forces to other locations. All costs associated with five (5) mandatory work stoppages must be included in the bid price. No additional compensation or extension to the Contract performance period will be given as a result of five (5) mandatory work stoppages.

SECTION 00 10 00 -3

(1) In the event that the Contractor's work force is required to evacuate any part of the working area during working hours established by the Contractor for this contract, the Government will then make an adjustment under the clause entitled, FAR 52.242-14 SUSPENSION OF WORK, see Section 00700. The Government's liability will be considered to be limited to reimbursement for loss of time of Contractor's employees and equipment which otherwise would have been employed on the job. The completion time for any part of the work will not be extended if the total number of working hours of work stoppage does not exceed 0.08 times the number of calendar days in the period between the date of notice to proceed and the specified completion date.

In the event the Contractor is required to evacuate the area in excess of the time specified above, the completion times will be adjusted.

(b) The Contractor may be required, without advance notice, to move work to a different location. The Contractor shall be prepared to increase or decrease work forces with appropriate trades to perform work in the relocated work areas at no additional cost to the Government.

(c) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer when a mandatory work stoppage occurs for recording purposes. Otherwise, the work stoppage will not be credited to the Contractor.

7. If a modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted, which provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price in the bid schedule must be stated.

If it is not stated, the offeror agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

8. Principal Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer who signs this contract will be the Principal Contracting Officer for this contract. However, any Contracting Officer assigned to the Los Angeles District, contracting within his authority, may take formal action on this contract when the Principal Contracting Officer is unavailable and the action needs to be taken.

9. Amounts and prices shall be indicated in either words or figures, NOT BOTH.

10. The offeror shall furnish all plant, labor, material, equipment, etc., necessary to perform all work in strict accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the contract including all attachments thereto complete and ready for use.

11. Some quantities are ESTIMATED, the offerors prices MUST BE FIRM.

12. Offeror is cautioned to check his Price Schedule carefully prior to submission. If the Price Schedule contains unit prices, they should be round off to the second decimal point only NOT EXTENDED FURTHER.

13. The Offeror shall distribute his indirect costs (overhead, profit, bond, etc.,) over all items in the Price Schedule.

The Government will review submitted Price Schedule for any unbalancing of the items. Any submitted Price Schedule determined to be unbalanced may cause the offeror to be ineligible for contract award.

14. The Contract Clause 52.232-27, “Prompt Payment for Construction Contracts” requires that the name and address of the contractor official, to whom payment is to be sent, be the same as that in the contract or in a proper Notice of Assignment.

15. Payment of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the mandatory method of payment. The Contractors attention is directed to Contract Clause No. 52.232-33 "Mandatory Information for Electronic Funds Transfer" located in Section 00800.

16. PLEASE NOTE: The Contractor agrees to attend any Post Award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 42.5.0

SECTION 00 10 00 -4

17. CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS. 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 $650,000.00, 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.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union.

Union Identifiers

An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination.

The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example.

Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rates.

0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually each January.

Non-Union Identifiers

Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union majority rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date.

Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
