Q&A #2

Q: The Quality Control Plan is referenced a couple of times in the RFQ. Is this required as part of the Technical Approach or required within 30-days of award?

A: The Quality Control Plan is not being required as part of your technical approach. It is encouraged to have it before submitted with one’s offer, however, it will not negatively effect your offer. If awarded a BPA the Quality Control Plan shall be submitted within 30 days of award.

Q: FAR 52.212-1 paragraph (b) Submission of Offers, ii) Project Experience (page 33 of 38) states: “Describe experience and capability for the Key Trades identified in Section D of this solicitation and listed in 52.212-2 Addenda. Indicate whether or not you have previously worked with these firms on previous projects. All firms proposed as Key Trades are subject to substitution requirements contained in this solicitation.”

- Would the Government kindly clarify who is considered a Firm in this BPA?

- Would the Government please clarify the statement: “Indicate whether or not you have previously worked with these firms on previous projects”?

- Would the Government please clarify what the substitution requirements are that are being referenced?

A: The following is hereby amended to be rescinded from the solicitation:

“Indicate whether or not you have previously worked with these firms on previous projects. All firms proposed as Key Trades are subject to substitution requirements contained in this solicitation.”

Q: On page 33 of 38 of the RFQ, under ii) Project Experience, 1c Representations and

Certifications, it states: “Fill in the check boxes for provisions 52.204-24, 52.212-3, and

Employment of Eligible Workers-Workforce Certification found in Section F of this solicitation and include a copy with your offer”

There is no Section F in the current RFQ, would the Government kindly provide the

“Employment of Eligible Workers – Workforce Certification” documentation?

A: 52.204-24 and 52.212-3 can be found in Section E, 52.204-24 has a fill-in as part of the RFQ that can be removed and submitted. 52.212-3 reps and certs can be filled out in SAM, however if this clause is not up to date and SAM.gov than the offeror submitting their quote should sent an updated version with their quote.

The requirement to fill out the “Employment of Eligible Workers – Workforce Certification” is hereby rescinded.
