PIEE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
ALL SUBMISSIONS TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED
ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH PIEE. No paper copies, CD-ROMs, email, or facsimile submissions will be accepted. Electronic Proposal Submission is required through the Army’s Electronic File Sharing Service, Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) (https://piee.eb.mil/). The PIEE Application is used to send large files to individuals that would normally be too large to send via email. Information regarding how to set up a vendor registration is included in this link-https://wawf.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/web/homepage/vendorGettingStartedHelp.xhtml
File Size Limitations: Offerors are advised to follow the PIEE instructions for uploading files.
PIEE supports delivery up to 1.9 GB per file, with no limit on the number of files, as well as multiple file formats. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections in order to upload it to the system. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below.
File Naming Convention: To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention:

Each file name shall begin with the solicitation number followed by the firm’s name and a brief file description. Please see examples above.
Upload Completion and Deadline: Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date and time specified on the solicitation document. The time and date of proposal receipt will be the upload completion/delivery time and date recorded within the PIEE site. Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously. Large files (e.g., 10MB or more) will take some time to upload. Offerors should time their upload effort with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the PIEE upload confirmation for their record.
Proposals sent through proprietary or third-party File Transfer sites, email, or DoD SAFE WILL NOT be retrieved and evaluated. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to confirm timely receipt of proposals. All proposals received, as confirmed by the date/time recorded within the PIEE site, after the exact time specified for receipt on the solicitation document shall be treated as late submissions and will not be considered.
THE BID SUBMISSION TIME IS 1:00 PM Eastern Time.
Bids must be received by the Government by the date/time specified in the solicitation.
HOW - Bidders shall electronically send their bids using PIEE.

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.
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.

CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE
CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS (CPARS)
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 $700,000.00, the USACE will evaluate contractor's performance annually and at completion and prepare a performance report using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), 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 60 days.
Accessing and using CPARS typically requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user's computer. However, although users are encouraged to use PKI certificates whenever possible, a waiver has been approved to allow industry users to access the system without a PKI certificate. Contractors wishing to log on without a PKI certificate should select the "Contractor (pending PKI)" logon option. The certification is a Department of Defense item 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.navy.mil/ . If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPARS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
