Under the second criteria listed above, said office must be opened for business from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.

The successful Contractor will have fourteen calendar days to have the above mentioned office operational, prior to award. The cost of mobilization, demobilization, operational office expense and the cost of a superintendent will be included in the coefficient. The Contractor must superintend construction work on site at all times. Subcontracting for work and simply adding Contractor overhead and profit to this subcontracting cost does not amount to Contractor performance under this contract for purpose of computing the amount of Contractor work stated above. The cost of material will not be included in computing percentage of work performed by prime contractor. The brokering of a federal contract is considered prohibited behavior and is not in the public interest. Brokering is where a business obtains a Government contract, but performs none of the actual construction work, and instead subcontracts all of the construction work adding its overhead and profit to the subcontractor costs. This procurement is being considered for a 100% set aside for small disadvantaged business (SDB). Interested (PRIME) SDB concerns, should, as early as possible but not later than 10 days after this publication indicate interest in the acquisition as a prime or as a subcontractor by providing written notice to the contracting office above which includes a positive statement of eligibility as a small, socially and economical disadvantaged business concern (SDB), specific information which demonstrates the capability to perform projects of this complexity and magnitude and complete information concerning experience in similar work (identify current of past government and private sector contracts including agency, contract number, technical POC and phone number, Contracting Offier, and phone number), and financial status which includes bonding capability. If adequate interest is not received from SDB concerns, the solicitation will be issued on an unresticted basis. Therefore responses from all business concerns are requested. Replies to this office must indicate whether they are small, small disadvantaged, 8 (a), or large business. The standard industrial classification (SIC) code is 1542.
