38 Reference Section L.2.3, Volume IV – Past Performance, regarding submission of Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment 10): For several of our most relevant contracts, the designated CORs and project points of contact have separated from federal service through the Deferred Resignation Program and other early retirement offerings, rendering these individuals inaccessible to complete Attachment 10. This effectively eliminates otherwise highly relevant and verifiable past performance examples through no fault of the offeror.

Understood, please provide the information you have with Attachment 10.

39 We respectfully request the Government allow offerors to submit CPARS evaluations and/or previously completed PPQs as acceptable alternatives or supplements to newly completed Attachment 10 questionnaires. This accommodation would preserve the integrity of the evaluation through official, government-generated performance records, reduce the administrative burden on current government personnel who may not have direct knowledge of the referenced work, and ensure the

The Government will pull CPARS, Offerors are not required to submit CPARS.

Vendors should only submit Attachment 10.

Government receives the most complete and competitive proposal pool for a best-value determination.

Please see response to Question #10.

42 If Design-Build, should the PE stamp requirement and design costs be included in the seed project bid price?

Please see response to Question #41.

43 Can the Government share the copies of the sign in sheets for both of the Site Visit.

Vendors that participated in the site visits are listed below.

44 Will the government consider expanding page limit for Volume 3 Management plan to 50 pages, since there are a lot of deliverables requested under this division and will be hard to condense it to 10 pages.

The Page count will remain 10 Pages. A detailed summary of the plan is acceptable for the parent contract.

RFP revised to allow for detailed summaries for both the Management Plan and Quality Control Plan.

“CONSTRUCTION

QUALITY CONTROL PLAN:

DELIVERABLES

CHECKLIST” on page 81 are required in the VOLUME III Management Plan or if a summary of the plan is acceptable. If all items are required, will the quality control plan be included in the page limit? Alternatively, if the full plan is required, would the government consider allowing the quality control plan to be attached as an appendix?

Please see response to Question #44.

See revised RFP section L.2.2.3.

52 Is there a specific CLIN breakdown for each SEED project? Attachments 7 and 9 include tabs for 4 CLINs, but it is not clear what each CLIN entails. Please clarify how contractor should break out pricing.
