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 $750,000.00, 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.

ARMY CONTRACT WRITING SYSTEM (ACWS) TRANSITION INFORMATION FOR OFFERORS

a. The Department of the Army is in the process of deploying a new contract writing software application to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software application will replace legacy Army contract writing systems.

b. During this transition period, Offerors are hereby advised:

1. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to create and release documents related to this solicitation (i.e., solicitation amendments and awards, if any). As a result:

i. Solicitation may contain different offer submission instructions than other solicitations released by the same Contracting Office (i.e., requiring offer submission via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module versus e-mail). Offerors should review all offer submission instructions contained in the solicitation documents and direct any questions or concerns to the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation.

ii. If ACWS is deployed prior to contract award, documents received from the Contracting

Officer or view on the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) or other forums may appear noticeably different than the initial solicitation or previous solicitations or awards from the same Contracting Office. This is normal and expected.

iii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning solicitation response (amendments) or accepted terms (awards) to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. Offerors shall review all documents carefully to locate this important information and direct any questions or concerns to the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation.

2. The Government does not intend to use the transition between contract writing systems to effect any changes to solicitation or award terms and conditions without accompanying document narratives explicitly stating such changes are deliberate and desired. While the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will take care to minimize or eliminate any inadvertent changes when adapting to the new contract writing software, the Offeror, maybe the first to identify such errors. Therefore, Offerors shall:

i. Notify the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation immediately if any observed changes, removals, or additions that would affect award eligibility, violate, or alter existing quote/ proposal terms, or could affect Contract performance post-award.

ii. Take special care to ensure all fill-in Clauses are populated and remain populated across documents received from the Contracting Office throughout the solicitation and award process.

iii. Notify the designated point of contact contained in the solicitation for guidance if any inadvertent change is noticed or suspected between document issuances.

3. In the unlikely event that a network disruption, contract writing system error, or financial system error threatens timely award of the requirement set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer:

i. May elect to use alternative mechanisms to obligate funds and allow work or deliveries to legally begin to the benefit of, and with legal protection for, both parties.

ii. Will incorporate the latest version of this Solicitation into such mechanisms to serve as a framework for contract execution until any such system problems are resolved.

iii. Will ensure any action taken does not conflict with the stated offer evaluation and award methodology of this requirement.

iv. Will issue a complete, properly formatted award that accurately reflects this requirement and all applicable terms and conditions once systems return to normal.

4. After contract award, the Contracting Officer will correct problems affecting award documents

(if any) via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor. Any such modification will reconcile the award with the latest version of this solicitation reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (i.e., the first issuance if no amendments, or the latest amendment with accompanying narratives), inclusive of any documented pre-award negotiations or accepted supplemental offer terms.

The Government reserves the right to award a contract without discussions in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.215-1, therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a Management/technical and cost/price standpoint. Offerors shall organize their proposals as described herein. Proposals may be determined non-responsive for failure to follow this format.

1.2 The proposal shall describe the capability of the offeror to perform the requirements of the solicitation. The proposal should be specific and complete in every detail, and should be prepared simply and economically, providing a straightforward and concise description of capabilities to satisfactorily perform the requirements.

2.3.3 Restrictions on Offeror-Provided Information.
