SECTION 00 20 00 – INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROCUREMENT

PROPOSER’S NOTES

1. ALL prospective Proposers must be registered in SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM) www.sam.gov.

2. AWARD of all Base Items 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 offers, 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 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.

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

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 Block 26, Standard Form 1442 Back, Solicitation, Offer and Award.

SECTION 00 20 00 - 2

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.

(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 70 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.

7. 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.

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

SECTION 00 20 00 - 3

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) procedures 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

SECTION 00 20 00 - 4

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.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.
