NOTES:

1. Award of all proposal items will be made to one bidder. Award of Base Bid and Bid Options (if awarded) will be made to one bidder. Bidders must propose on all items. The design and infrastructure for each bid option item should be included in the base bid items 0001 and 0003.

2. 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 bidder:

(1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(2) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price 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 bidder intends the 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.

3. 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 bidder agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

4. 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 Block 26, Standard Form 1442 Back, Solicitation, Offer and Award. ENG FORM 93 shall be submitted to that office on the 1st 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.

5. ACCRUALS. In accordance with USACE Engineer Financial Regulation (ER) 37-1- 30, and other applicable Federal and DOD financial accounting standards, the Contractor must assist government personnel with providing reasonably accurate estimates of the value of goods and/or services rendered to the Government pursuant to this contract for each calendar month during which goods and services are delivered. Standard forms and instructions will be provided by the Government to assist with meeting this requirement. These monthly estimates, which facilitate timely entry of accruals, must be received by the Government on or before four (4) business days prior to each calendar month-end.

6. ADDITIVE OR DEDUCTIVE ITEMS (DEC 1991) (DFARS 252.236-7007).

(a) The low offeror and the items to be awarded shall be determined as follows:

(1) Prior to the opening of bids, the Government will determine the amount of funds available for the project.

(2) The low offeror shall be the Offeror that:

(i) Is otherwise eligible for award; and

(ii) Offers the lowest aggregate amount for the first or base bid item, plus or minus (in the order stated in the list of priorities in the bid schedule) those additive or deductive items that provide the most features within the funds determined available.

(3) The Contracting Officer shall evaluate the bids on the basis of the same additive or deductive items.

(i) If adding another item from the bid schedule list of priorities would make the award exceed the available funds for all offerors, the Contracting Officer will skip that item and go to the next item from the bid schedule of priorities; and

(ii) Add that next item if an award may be made that includes that item and is within the available funds.

(b) The Contracting Officer will use the list of priorities in the bid schedule only to determine the low offeror. After determining the low offeror, an award may be made on any combination of items if:

(1) It is in the best interest of the Government;

(2) Funds are available at the time of award; and

(3) The low offeror's price for the combination to be awarded is less than the price offered by any other responsive, responsible offeror.

(c) Example: The amount available is $100,000. Offeror A's base bid and four additives (in the order stated in the list of priorities in the Bid Schedule) are $85,000, $10,000, $8,000, $6,000 and $4,000. Offeror B's bid and four additives are $80,000, $16,000, $9,000, $7,000, and $4,000. Offeror A is the low offeror. The aggregate amount of Offeror A's bid for purposes of award would be $99,000, which includes a base bid plus the first and fourth additives. The second and third additives were skipped because each of them would cause the aggregate bid to exceed $100,000.

(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 bidder 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.

(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.

(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 00 73 00. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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

Design Build FY 17 F-35 Squadron Operations W912PL-17-R-0045 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.

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

11. The offeror’s 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. EVALUATION: The Government intends to issue a contract resulting from the Request for

Proposal (RFP) to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the Best Value to the Government by using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedure as described in Sections 00 21 16 and 00 22 16. The award decision will be based on a comparative assessment in proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation.

14. 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.

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 00 70 00.

16. The time stated for completion shall include final clean-up of the premises. Refer to Section

00 73 00, Contract Clause No. FAR 52.211-10, “Commencement, Prosecution and Completion of Work.”

17. 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

18. 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

Design Build FY 17 F-35 Squadron Operations W912PL-17-R-0045 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.gov/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CCASS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
