(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.

The successful contractor to this Request for Proposals will be required to comply with all pertinent provisions of the latest version of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, in effect on the date of the solicitation.

ZERO ACCIDENT PROGRAM

The Albuquerque District, in its continual pursuit of excellence in safety has established a goal of zero contractor injuries. To attain this goal it will be necessary for the Contractor management personnel to communicate to the workers an expectation of zero injuries; that it is no longer acceptable to take chances; that shortcuts taken because of laziness or even while trying to do an efficient job are no longer welcomed; that praise for shortcuts or chance-taking will not exist. It is imperative that Contractor management clearly sets forth the expectation for zero injuries so that the workers can begin to believe that the company is truly serious about safety. From the standpoint of worker psychology, zero is the only supportable goal. In attaining zero-injury performance, there is no substitute for the concept of setting and communicating safety performance expectations to the workers.

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

$150,000.00, the USACE will evaluate contractor’s performance and prepare a performance report using the

Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), which is 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.gov/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to

PPIRS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
