01. Could you please tell me if the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation posted as solicitation number 140G0221R0025 will be a follow-on requirement to any work performed currently or in the past, or will this be a new requirement?

02. If possible, can you please provide the most recent contract or task order number?

ANSWER: This requirement is not a follow-on requirement to any existing contract/order. This is a new requirement.

03. When reviewing the solicitation clauses, we noticed that bonds were required, however the estimate for the project is between $25K and $100K. It is our understanding that bonds are only required if the contract price at award is >$150K. Is this correct?

ANSWER: Not quite. Reference FAR 28.102-1 General. (b) (1) Pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 3132, for construction contracts greater than $35,000, but not greater than $150,000, the contracting officer shall select two or more of the following payment protections, giving particular consideration to inclusion of an irrevocable letter of credit as one of the selected alternatives: Only a (i) A payment bond, or (2) An irrevocable letter of credit (ILC) will be acceptable payment protection surety for this project.

04. We were unable to attend the site visit for this project last week. I just wanted to check with you to see if any amendment will be issued providing information from the site visit.

ANSWER: There is no additional information to provide from the site visit.
