Solicitation 12445221R0030 Questions and Answers

Date: July 28, 2021

Question 1. Can the government please clarify what information would be needed from a JV for the proposal? Past Performance (if no past performance as a JV, will past performance from each entity suffice?), JV Agreement, etc.

Answer 1. A copy of the JV agreement needs to be submitted along with the proposal.

Experience and Past performance from each entity will be allowed but a copy of the JV agreement must be submitted with the proposal.

Question 2. The SF1442 says no Bid Bond is required, but page 49 para (v) states that a scanned copy of the Bid Guarantee is required in the proposal package. Is a Bid Bond required for the SEED projects?

Answer 2. Bonds may be required on a task order basis, not the prime contract.

Performance bonds are required on any construction project estimated to exceed $35,000.
