12805B24R0004/0002 appropriate file.¿ Is USDA wanting the proposal volumes to be 5 separate documents/files, or can the volumes be combined into a one overall file?

A2: Please refer to solicitation paragraph L.9

¿Proposal Submission Documents¿ Volume table matrix. Each Volume should be 5 separate document(s) for each volume as appropriate.

Please do not submit one single combined file for the overall proposal. *Note* The specifics for the submission documents, it is required to keep the original file format: for example an original submission of the excel file Attachment 9 ¿Seed

Project Proposal Template¿ which must be pulled out of the volume and submitted on its own in excel file format. Offerors however may choose

(for example) to additionally PDF their

Attachment 9 and include it in the volume, in addition to the stand-alone excel file, which is acceptable.

Q3: Under Volume 4, Factor 3 Past Performance, USDA is requesting 3 to 5 Past Performance

Questionnaires (PPQs). Do the PPQs need to be submitted for the same 3-5 projects featured in

Volume 3, Factor 2 Prior Experience, Subfactor A, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Prior

Experience?

A3: No. The PPQs submitted for Volume 4, Factor

3 Past Performance, may be (but not required) the be the same project submitted for Volume 3, Factor 2 Prior Experience, Subfactor A, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Prior

Experience. However, it is noted in Volume 4, Factor 3 Past Performance that ¿Offerors are cautioned to submit information specific to MEP work considered relevant to the requirements of this Request for Proposal.¿

Q4: If a CPARS evaluation is available for one or more of the projects the contractor intends on submitting under Volume 4, Factor 3 Past

Performance, can the contractor furnish a copy of the CPARS in lieu of a PPQ?

12805B24R0004/0002 than welcome to include the CPARS evaluation to supplement the PPQ, but it cannot replace the PPQ.

Q5: In Volume 2, Factor 1 Technical, Subfactor A, Key Personnel Qualifications and Experience, it states the Site Safety & Health Officer (SSHO)

¿shall be independent from Project

Superintendent.¿ Please confirm USDA is requiring both a full-time Superintendent and

SSHO on all task orders issued under the MATOC, including the seed project.

A5: Please refer to C.11 for the site superintendent requirements. Notice this paragraph doesn¿t explicitly state ¿full time¿ which the USDA interprets as 40 hours a week, every week working solely superintendent duties.

The requirement is that during construction activities that a site superintendent be onsite and that the individual may also be ¿dual hat¿ with the ¿superintendent duties are the first priority of the superintendent.¿ This expectation would be the same for a Site Safety &

Health Officer. The only exception is that a

Site Superintendent cannot execute the duties of a SSHO, they need to be independent to avoid any conflicts of interest. The USDA (as the question is written) does not require a ¿full time¿ Site

Superintendent or SSHO, rather these positions shall adhere to the requirements identified in

C.11

Q6: Under Volume 3, Factor 2 Prior Experience, Subfactor C, Concurrent Multiple State Region

Prior Experience, it states: ¿Offerors shall submit contracts in which they performed prime contractor work in one state, while also performing another federally awarded contract in another state.¿ Please confirm by ¿contracts¿

USDA is looking for instances when the contractor executed individual projects (single-project contracts) or IDIQ task orders concurrently in two different states.

A6: Yes. Offerors may submit stand-alone awarded single-project contracts or task orders issued from an IDIQ to fulfil this requirement.

Q7: In Attachment 9, Seed Project Pricing

Template, there is one line dedicated to Div 01

General Requirements. However, this division is comprised of numerous individual items that roll up to the total direct costs, such as a job trailer, safety supplies, waste disposal, temp power, etc. Since only one line is provided in the spreadsheet for Div 01, how does the offeror show the breakout of individual items comprising the total direct costs? Can the offeror add extra lines, as needed, beneath the Div 01 heading? (Note: To various degrees, this question applies to all divisions in the spreadsheet.)

A7: Offerors are allowed to insert additional lines to the excel document as necessary to provide detail and context to ¿Attachment 9, Seed

Project Pricing Template¿. However, offerors shall not disturb the format template subtotals, labor burden, totals etc. Additionally, offerors shall not remove any sections, for example profit, overhead, bonding, etc.
