CARRIED, ETC.) WILL BE ACCEPTED.

WHEN - Bids must be submitted not later than one (1) hour before the time designated for bid opening.

Bids submitted after the bid submission time will be considered late bids.

HOW - Bidders shall electronically send their bids using the following link: https://safe.apps.mil/

WHO - The SAFE site will require contacts for bid submission to be provided. All requests for information and the bid submission must be sent to BOTH of the below contacts to ensure timely receipt of bids. Please use the following contact information to submit bids:

Contract Specialist Sara Torres at Guesley.Leger@usace.army.mil Contracting Officer Erin Bradley at Erin.E.Bradley@usace.army.mil Alternate Point of Contact Jennifer Samela at Jennifer.M.Samela@usace.army.mil

BIDDERS MUST REQUEST AN UPLOAD LINK: Bidders must e-mail the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer no later than five (5) working days prior to the bid opening date to receive a request link which will allow for file uploads via the SAFE site. Bidders that fail to request a link at least five (5) working days before bid opening date may not be able to receive a request code in time to upload their bids.

SUBMISSION FORMAT: Submission shall be in Adobe PDF format. You are limited to five (5) maximum files per upload (total size cannot exceed 2GB). If you have a large number of files, recommend that you combine or ZIP your files before uploading to the SAFE site. Bidders may use compression utility software such as WinZip or PKZip to reduce file size and facilitate transmission.

BID GUARANTEE: This solicitation requires submission of a bid guarantee in accordance with FAR 52.228-1.

Electronic bid submissions must include a scanned copy of the original bid guarantee. The original bid guarantee with “wet” signature and raised seal (if applicable) must be mailed or delivered to the below and received by the bid opening time and date:

Bid Opening Official – Contracting Division U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 696 Virginia Road Concord, MA 01742

Minor discrepancies in receipt of the original bid guarantee due to COVID-19 related impacts may be waived solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. For example, there are guards who are stationed at the 696 Virginia Road location who can take receipt of guarantees. If no guard is available to sign for packages at the time of delivery and a package is not delivered, the Contracting Officer may allow for delayed delivery of the original bid guarantee.

A scanned copy of the original bid guarantee must be included in the electronic bid submission for the bid to be considered responsive.

FILE DESCRIPTION: Include a “File Description” for each file you upload. The “File Description” will be included in the e-mail notice to each of the recipients you choose to have access your file(s). NOTE: Do NOT enter Privacy Act Data (Personal Identification Information (PII)) in the File Description.

INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW ON THE SAFE WEBSITE:

1. Once at the SAFE website, select the “Drop-off” icon. This allows users without a Common Access Card (CAC, an ID issued to certain Government users), or users whose computer is not configured to read a CAC the option to access the SAFE site as a guest.

2. After selecting the “Click Here” link, you will be prompted to add your personal information, file information, recipient (Government points of contact) information and e-mail settings.

3. When completing your file information, you will be required to enter the email addresses for all recipients. For this solicitation, the recipients are the Contract Specialist and the Contracting Officer, listed above. Although the email address of the Government employee who initiated the request code will be automatically entered, this address may not be correct. The Bidder must enter and add the e-mail addresses for both the Contracting Officer and Specialist listed above to the Recipient List. The Bidder can enter an additional e-mail address if desired. After entering the e-mail address, click the ADD button to add the e-mail to the “Recipients List” for your response. When your bid is submitted, a notification will be sent to the selected recipients.

NOTE: Do NOT send the SAFE site packages to group e-mail accounts. Even if you successfully upload your bid to the SAFE site, notification will not be sent to the Government recipients until you verify your e-mail address.

Entering an incorrect e-mail may result in the rejection of your submission for lateness. A Bidder can confirm proper submission by the ‘Drop-Off Completed” screen which generates based on proper file submission.

NOTE: It has been reported that documents are more quickly uploaded into the SAFE website when using a Firefox web browser. The Government cannot verify that this is true and offers no guarantee that Bidders will have more success utilizing any particular browser.

TIMELINES OF BIDS:

For the purposes of establishing whether a bid submission is considered timely, the Government considers the date and time the submission is completely uploaded into the SAFE website. For bids larger than the 2GB capacity of the SAFE website and require multiple submissions, the Government will consider the date and time the last submission is completely uploaded into the SAFE website. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous. It can take several minutes or even hours in some cases.

The Government will not be responsible for bids delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive bids. Bidders are responsible for ensuring that bids are submitted so as to reach the designated recipient.

Bidders are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the bid to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.

Bid Opening

Bids will be opened one hour after the time for bid submission noted above. This one hour delay is necessary to allow for technical delays. The Bid Opening Official or Contract Specialist may open electronic documents before the bid opening to prepare for the bid opening, but will not record or communicate bid prices with any other individual until the bid opening. No Government officials will open electronic documents until the independent government estimate is finalized and received by the Bid Opening Official.

THE BID OPENING TIME IS 2:00 PM Eastern Time.

The bid opening will be conducted via public conference call. Bidders and members of the public may use the below information to access the conference call:

Interested persons may contact the Contract Specialist identified above following the bid opening to request an electronic copy of the bid(s). Please be considerate of limited Government resources and request bid copies only as necessary.

To preserve conference line stability, bidders are asked to limit the number of individual calls to the conference line to the minimum needed for participation.
