Overview of the Two-Step Sealed Bid Process This is a DRAFT �Two-Step Sealed Bid� for Kansas Citys Levees Program, Argentine and Armourdale/CID Levee and Floodwall Raises Design/Bid/Build (DBB) Contract to be performed in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas.� The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed-price construction contract to the responsive and responsible bidder whom the Government determines to have an acceptable Step One technical proposal, conforms to the solicitation requirements, is fair and reasonable, and bids the lowest overall price in Step Two. The actual Step One Request for Technical Proposals will be issued with approximately 95% complete sufficiently descriptive technical specifications.� The information contained in Step One is not binding on the Government, and the actual delivery or performance requirements will be contained in the invitation issued under Step Two.� Only those firms determined to be technically acceptable during Step One will be issued the 100% final technical specifications during Step Two. 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. Step One ensures that only technically acceptable firms participate in the Step Two sealed bid process.��� Step One under this bidding process consists of the request for, submission, evaluation, and (if necessary) discussion of a technical proposal. Only one technical proposal may be submitted by each offeror. The proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability. The technical proposal shall not include prices or pricing information. In Step One, offerors should submit technical proposals that are complete and acceptable without the need for additional explanation or information. The Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal�s acceptability solely on the basis of the proposal as submitted. The Government may proceed with the second step without requesting further information from any offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from, or enter into discussions with offerors of proposals that are determined to be reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable.� Discussions will only be held if necessary, and if determined to be in the best interest of the Government. 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://beta.sam.gov website for the benefit of prospective subcontractors. In Step Two, an amendment with the final 100% technical specifications will be issued to only those offerors whose technical proposals are determined to be acceptable in Step One.� The normal sealed bid process in FAR Part 14 will be followed. In the second step, only bids based upon technical proposals determined to be acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. Each bid in the second step must be based on the bidder's own technical proposal that was submitted, evaluated, and determined to be acceptable in Step One.� Bidders shall comply with the specifications and the bidder�s acceptable technical proposal. Point of Contact: The point of contact for all questions/inquiries is Jay Denker at phone number (816) 389-3934 or by email at jay.b.denker@usace.army.mil.
