On or about 26 June 2024, the Government intends to issue the Step-One Invitation for Bid (IFB) “Gavins Point Spillway Bridge Structural Repairs and Paint, Gavins Point, SD”. The Step-One IFB will close on or about 29 July 2024. This is a Small Business Set-Aside. TWO-STEP PROCUREMENT: This solicitation and resulting contract are using a Two-Step Sealed Bidding procurement method as described in FAR Part 14.5. The two-step procedure is a combination of competitive procedures designed to obtain the benefits of sealed bidding while ensuring only technically acceptable firms participate in the priced sealed bid. The process allows for the Step One technical proposal submission and evaluation to be performed concurrent with the development of the final 100% technical specifications and construction drawings. Step One ensures that only technically acceptable firms participate in the Step Two sealed bid process. The submission requirements of Step One, Request for Technical Proposal, shall not include any prices or pricing information. Bid bonds / guarantees are not required to be submitted with the Step One technical proposal. Under this bidding process, Step One consists of the request for submission, evaluation and (if necessary) discussion of a technical proposal. Only one (1) technical proposal may be submitted by each offeror. The proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability. Again, the technical proposal must not include prices or pricing information. A notice of “acceptable” or “unacceptable” will be forwarded to each Step One offeror upon completion of the technical proposal evaluation and final determination. The names of the offerors that submitted acceptable technical proposals will be listed on the Government’s https://sam.gov/ website for the benefit of prospective subcontractors. In Step Two, an amendment to the solicitation will be issued along with the final 100% technical specifications and construction drawings to only those offerors whose technical proposals are determined to be acceptable in Step One. The normal sealed bidding process in FAR Part 14 will be followed in Step Two. Only bids based upon technical proposals determined to be acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions for Step One, will be considered for award. Each bid in Step Two must be based on the bidder's own technical proposal that was submitted, evaluated and determined to be acceptable in Step One. Bidders must comply with the 100% technical specifications and construction drawings and the bidder’s acceptable technical proposal. Bid bonds will be required to be submitted with the Step Two bid submission. Payment and Performance Bonds will be required for the full amount (100%) at the time of contract award before the Notice to Proceed (NTP) can be issued.
