Question and Answer

Reference FAR Clause 52.215-20 Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data other than Certified cost or Pricing data - Are offerors required to prepare a response? Our firm has not been asked to prepare certified pricing in the past and are unsure what is required. Can you confirm whether this is a required provision and how we are to respond?

o Certified cost and pricing data information is locate in Provision 452.215-71 paragraph

(c) located on page 30. No certified cost and pricing data is required for this proposal.

The provision states the filled out schedule B would be used as the business/cost proposal.

Page 25 to 28 of the RFP includes a series of FAR and DFARS provisions. Do we need to provide information in response to the provisions or simply acknowledge that they are part of the Contract Clauses for the bid?

o Pages 25 – 28 includes FAR and AGAR provisions part of section L. In review it doesn’t appear any of these provisions require a response or fill in.

Please confirm whether one printed Original of the proposal is to be submitted or an Original and a Copy?

o In accordance with provision 452.215-71 paragraph d(a)(4) only 1 copy of the signed offer, technical proposal, and business proposal.

Could you tell me the Bid Bond % required to be submitted with the proposal for the subject project?

o This amendment corrects this under clause 52.228-1 to read, “The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 20% of the bid or $100,000.00, whichever is less.”

Where are the specs for the Bearing Pads.

o The material is specified on sheet 1 of 11 under the heading “Elastomeric Bearing Pad”.

This looks like a performance spec rather than a name brand.

I am looking for clarification on what you would like to see for mulching on this project. FP-03 states straw applied at 3200 lbs per acre using an air forced blower and anchored with stabilizing emulsion tackifier. Is this what you are looking for or will hand scattered straw be sufficient?

o In the General Notes on sheet 1 of the plans a note says erosion control per FP-03 section 157. That references 625 where our seed mix and application method are described. The FSSS Section 625 states that it replaces the FP-03 Section 625 in its entirety. There is no requirement for mulch in FSSS 625. Additionally, there is note on Page 3 of the plans that says “Seeding per 625”. No mulching is required in conjunction with the seeding.
