Section 1 – Questions and Answers Section 2 – Negotiation Questions and Answers Section 3 – Addendum 2 Contains Revisions to published (RFQ) No. 10195411 (please apply to these updates to your SOQ as applicable.)

Section 1 – Questions and Answers

Q1: Will DWR consider Electronic Submittal Only – a bookmarked PDF emailed versus Five (5) hard copies and one (1) text readable pdf copy on a USB Flash Drive? (Green/Sustainable)

A1: DWR will not accept electronic SOQ submittals for this RFQ. DWR has revised the requirement from five (5) hard copies and one (1) text-readable PDF copy on a USB Flash Drive to four (4) hard copies and one (1) text-readable PDF copy on a USB Flash Drive of the SOQ.

Q2: Will DWR consider an extension to the deadline?

A2: Yes, DWR is extending the SOQ submittal date identified in Section X from Thursday, May 9, 2024 at 2:00 PM to Monday, May 13, 2024 at 2:00 PM.

Q3: Can you please tell me what firms currently hold or have recently held Geotechnical contracts with DWR? We will be looking to submit on your current solicitation.

A3: The A&E Program processes DWR-wide A&E contracts. DWR often contracts for geotechnical services depending on the needs of the requesting division. Currently there are three active contracts – AECOM 46-13352; HDR 46-13965; and COWI 46-13418 which provide support for three different divisions on separate projects.

Q4: Regarding v. Provide utility coordination including engineering support, research, and coordination with DWR, state and local agencies, utilities, and stakeholders; and locating, potholing, and design for modification or relocation of existing facilities. Can you confirm/clarify if intent is for our Team to perform utility locating and potholing work or if this support only?

A4: Regarding RFQ Section VI – Selection Criteria, item v, Contractor will be responsible for any ancillary utility location and potholing work necessary for the completion of identified geotechnical deliverables at time of Task Order issuance.

RFQ 10191137

Addendum 2

Q5: RE: w. Follow Project Management Body of Knowledge principles, provide project management and coordination to support engineering tasks in this SOW. and x. Utilize engineering expertise to attend, participate in, or make presentations at meetings - in person or via video/teleconference -as directed by the DWR Contract Manager. Provide verbal and written comments after each meeting. Please confirm that these general scope items are intended for inclusion in most or all task orders and are not intended to be the specific focus of task orders.

A5: Regarding RFQ Section VI – Selection Criteria, paragraphs w. and x. These items are intended to support geotechnical deliverables and may be included in most, if not all, task orders, each of which will have at least one geotechnical-type scope item that will be the focus of that task order.

Q6: We understand we can use an 11x17 page for our Organization Chart. Can we use an additional 11x17 page for our Organizational Matrix for Personnel and Subs?

A6: Firms can use two 11x17 pages, single sided (folded to 8-½” x 11”) for the Organizational Matrix.

Q7: It our is our understanding that we only include 1-page resumes for the individuals that we identify as key personnel with a symbol on our Org Chart. Or do you want a resume for every person on our Org Chart? Can you confirm?

A7: Firms are required to provide the resumes of key and non-key personnel listed on the Organization Chart.

Q8: Can we use an additional 11x17 page in Section 7 - qualification section for additional graphics/tables/matrix

A8: Firms can use an additional 11x17 page (folded to 8-½” x 11”) or additional 2 pages, double sided (1 sheet) for the qualification section graphics/tables/matrix.

Q9: Exhibit A, Item A, No. 9 – Is the RFQ referring to dam break analyses vs. dam breach analyses?

A9: See Section 3 of this Information Letter and Addendum where “Perform dam breach analyses” is struck out and removed from Exhibit A, Scope of Work, Item A.9 and RFQ Section VI - Selection Criteria, item A.1.i.

Q10: We understand DWR will let up to three contracts. How does DWR intend to assign task orders for the various asset types?

A10: Task orders will be assigned based on most qualified Contractor for the Geotechnical Asset Type, subject to availability. Refer to Exhibit E, paragraph 24, Contractor Work Assignments.

Q11: Can we include a second 11x17 for the Organizational Matrix referenced in V.2.c.?

A11: See answer A6 above.

Q12: With the 26 service areas that need to be addressed per VI-A.1, a-x, is it possible to provide a 2-page resume (i.e., 1 double-sided sheet)?

A12: Yes, firms can provide 2-page (1 double-sided sheet) resumes.

Q13: When a prime firm brings in subconsultants, does the entire team provide five project references or should each team member provide five project references?

A13: The Prime firm is to provide 5 projects references for the entire team.

Section 2 – Negotiation Questions and Answers

Q14: Are we able to know who the current incumbents on the contract are?

A14: This is a new contract.

Q15: Do you know the anticipated amount of what the contract value could be, based on what the Cal E-procure states.

A15: While we can provide an estimated range, we are unable to specify a precise amount for the advertisement of this RFQ. As indicated in the Cal e Procure listing, the estimated contract value for all awards falls within the range of $40,000,000 to $50,000,000.

Q16: Will the subconsultants need to meet the same insurance requirements as the prime consultants?

A16: How a subconsultant meets the insurance requirements are between the sub and the prime. The contractor (prime) must be able to show proof of all insurance requirements.

Q17: The RFQ says there will be three contracts awarded for each of the 3 categories. Does this infer that 9 contracts will be awarded?

A17: Up to three contracts may be awarded per asset type. Up to two additional contracts for each contract awarded may be identified as back-up based on availability.

Q18: Is there a preference in scoring for higher SBE % or SBE who are primes?

A18: No, there is not. However, the Department encourages DVBE/SBE participation but because this is a qualifications-based award, DVBE/SBE participation cannot be considered as a selection criteria.

Q19: If a contractor wanted to submit for several different asset types, is there a limit?

A19: The contractor has the flexibility to choose any or all Geotechnical Asset Type(s) they wish to pursue by marking one (1) or more of the corresponding checkboxes on the SOQ Checklist. If no specific boxes are checked, DWR will consider the submission is for all three Geotechnical Asset Types.

Q20: Exhibit E, Paragraph 6 states that a payment bond and performance bond is required if construction activities are performed. Will geotechnical drilling fall in that category?

A20: Geotechnical drilling, if deemed necessary, will be identified at time of Task Order. The bonds would not be required until a Task Order identifies the need. Exhibit A, Scope of Work.
