An Offeror risks the late receipt and rejection of their SF330 package when delivery is delayed until the last few minutes before the deadline. Offerors intending to deliver the SF330 package in-person are cautioned that the NAVFAC Southwest facility is located in downtown San Diego. It is recommended that the Offeror allow for delays driving through downtown San Diego caused by traffic (both freeway and downtown), train/trolley crossings, parking at the pay lots/meters near the facility, and gaining access to a secure Government facility. No parking or offloading of SF330s is available at the Government facility. SF330s shall be delivered to the mailroom in Building 128 and reasonable time shall be allowed for mailroom personnel to receive and time stamp the SF330. The stamp time is determined by the NAVFAC Southwest facility mailroom time stamp device only, not by any other time keeping device that the Offeror may use or own. Immediately upon proposal delivery, the Offeror shall leave the premises of the Government facility. An Offeror that does not leave the premises may be requested to leave or be escorted off the premises. Electronic (E-mail, facsimile, etc.) submissions are not authorized. It is the Offeror's responsibility to check the NAVFAC electronic solicitation website Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) at https://www.fbo.gov/ and Beta SAM at https://beta.sam.gov/for any revisions to this announcement or other notices. An Interested Vendors List is available via the FedBizOpps website, https://www.fbo.gov/, under this synopsis number.
