SD FORM 818, JAN 09 PREVIOUS EDITION IS OBSOLETE

1 Email Question

Bidder Comment: Should this NAICS code be specified as 236220 instead of 237310? On page 37 of the solicitation, it says:

“OFFEROR MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE ENTITY REGISTRATION AT

HTTPS://WWW.SAM.GOV/SAM/ IN ORDER TO SUBMIT AN OFFER AND CERTIFY AS

A SMALL BUSINESS UNDER NAICS CODE 237310”

Resolution: The correct primary NAICS code for this solicitation is 236220- Commercial and Institutional Building Construction

2 Email Question

Bidder Comment: Should the offeror have in their SAM profile all NAICS’s codes listed in the solicitation in order to bid on the MATOC and have opportunity to be selected?

Resolution: The offeror must be registered in SAM.gov to submit an offer, but the offeror does not have to have the NAICS code in their SAM.gov profile listing to be eligible to receive an award.

Email Question

Bidder Comment: In reference to Bonding Phase 1. Can a Irrevocable Letter be provided in lieu of bonding and Surety letter?

Resolution: Reference clauses 52.228-13 Alternative Payment Protections (July 2020) and 52.228-15 Performance and Payment Bonds—Construction on page 26-27 of the solicitation.

4 Email Question

Bidder Comment: Can you elaborate on how we are going to submit our pricing? There are two tasks to quote on the bid documents, the El Portal Sidewalks and the Catalina Entrance, therefore are you going to award a 5 years IDIQ based on these two tasks? or do we need to submit any other price structure, i.e. the ones mentioned on the C.4 Activities?

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING SD FORM 818

COORDINATING OSD COMPONENT: Use this form to provide consolidated critical and substantive comments to the OSD Component that originated the issuance. Complete the classification header and footer, columns 1 through 5, and the first two entries in column 6. REVIEW THE COMMENTS, RESOLVE ANY CONFLICTING VIEWS, AND CONFIRM THAT THE COMPLETED MATRIX ACCURATELY REPRESENTS YOUR COMPONENT’S POSITION. Upload the form to the DoD Directives Program Portal IN MICROSOFT WORD FORMAT, with a scanned copy of the sign SD Form 106, “DoD Directives Program Coordination Record,” or coordination memorandum.

ORIGINATING OSD COMPONENT: Use this form to consolidate comments from all coordinators and to record adjudication of the comments. (To add comments from an SD 818 submitted by a coordinator, use the “Copy” and “Paste” tools on the Microsoft Word Standard Toolbar.) When consolidating comments, place them in the order of the pages/paragraphs they apply to (e.g., all comments from all coordinators that apply to page 1, paragraph 1.a., should be grouped together as the initial entries; all comments that apply to page 1, paragraph 1.b., should be grouped together next, and so on). Complete column 7 and the third entry in column 6. Adjust the classification header and footer and columns 1 and 2 as appropriate.

CLASSIFICATION – Enter the highest classification of the comments. If all are unclassified, mark the header and footer accordingly and ignore the column.

COLUMN 1 – Enter the number of the comment. Enter comments in the order of the pages/paragraphs they apply to.

COLUMN 2 – Enter the classification of the comment. If all comments are unclassified, mark the header and footer accordingly and ignore the column.

COLUMN 3 – Enter the appropriate information.

COLUMN 4 – Enter the appropriate information.

COLUMN 5 – Enter the appropriate information.

COLUMN 6 – Enter the comment type. Place only one comment per row. Do NOT include administrative comments concerning non-substantive aspects of an issuance, such as dates of references, organizational symbols, and/or grammatical errors.

(C) CRITICAL: When a Component has one or more critical comments, that Component’s coordination shall reflect a nonconcur. THE JUSTIFICATION FOR CRITICAL COMMENTS

MUST IDENTIFY:

– Violations of the law or contradictions of Executive Branch policy or of policy established in DoD issuances. The GC, DoD, or his or her representative shall identify legal objections as critical comments.

– Unnecessary risks to safety, life, limb, or DoD materiel; waste or abuse of DoD appropriations; or imposition of an unreasonable burden on a Component’s resources.

(S) SUBSTANTIVE: Substantive comments are made when a section in the issuance appears to be or is potentially unnecessary, incorrect, misleading, confusing, or inconsistent with other sections, or when a Component disagrees with the proposed responsibilities, requirements, and/or procedures. A substantive comment is usually not sufficient justification for a Component to nonconcur on an issuance. Several substantive comments when taken together may be grounds for a nonconcurrence.

COLUMN 7 – COORDINATING COMPONENT: Enter the comment in the area provided. Enter your justification for the comment and your requested or recommended changes in the area provided.

YOU MUST PROVIDE CONVINCING SUPPORT FOR CRITICAL COMMENTS IN THE JUSTIFICATION.

– ORIGINATING COMPONENT: Enter your justification for disposition of the comment in the area provided. Include any related communications with the coordinating Component. You must provide convincing support for rejecting critical comments.

COLUMN 8 – Enter whether you accepted (A), rejected (R), or partially accepted (P) the comment. Your justification for disposition of the comment in column 6 must be consistent with this entry.
