About this file
This document provides clarifications to Amendment 004 of solicitation 140FC124R0002 issued by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. The solicitation is for the design and construction of a new 5,000 square foot office building and visitor center at Long Lake in North Dakota. Amendment 004 removes experience with structural insulated sandwich panels and past performance related to panels from the technical evaluation factors. It also removes the requirement for a civil engineer. The clarifications specify that to be considered for award, offerors must provide the minimum two relevant project references requested under Factor 1, where the offeror served as prime contractor on similar size and scope commercial buildings. The basis for award will be a tradeoff between technical capability, experience, past performance, and cost/price as outlined in the solicitation. Offer and performance bonds are governed by FAR provisions 52.228-1 and 52.228-15 respectively, as defined in the base solicitation.
