Questions Addressed

1. Past Performance: Do we submit only 5 projects (1 per client), or all cultural projects within three years with only a list of 5 clients? Additionally, the SOW doesn’t mention the two years of non-cultural (but similar in complexity) projects to submit. Which is correct?

Solicitation states “Past performance shall provide adequate information describing the offeror’s previous experience in Cultural Inventory within the past three years…offeror shall also list all contracts performed in the past two years…that are of the same magnitude and complexity of this project.” Page 7.

SOW states “Respondents will submit a list of clients (no more than 5) for past and present similar projects covering the past three years.” Page 4.

a. To clarify, please provide past performance information that is specific to your experience in Cultural Inventories that were performed within the past three years. Additionally, please provide a list of all contracts that were performed in the last two years that are of the same magnitude (i.e. same amount or near the amount of the quote that you are providing.

2. Quality Control Plan Solicitation does not mention a Quality Control Plan as part of the submittal.

SOW shows (as number 3) that a Quality Control Plan is to be submitted with the written proposal. Page 4.

2. The Statement of Work provides the specifics to the solicitation, it is asking for a Quality Control Plan (QCP), please submit.

1. First, the SOW indicates the contractor must have a Wyoming Cultural Resource Use Permit. While SWCA has many permitted people in Wyoming, we were wondering if a proposal would be accepted if the Prime small business didn’t have a permit, but we conducted the fieldwork under the supervision of our permitted people.

3. The contractor submitting the quote needs to have the permit. Link below for Wyoming CRUP information. https://www.blm.gov/programs/cultural-heritage-and-paleontology/archaeology/archaeology-in-blm/permits

1. Assuming we can use our permit, can we reuse our PPQs that you should have on file?

4. Yes, you may use past PPQ’s they need to be submitted with proposal from contractor or from their customers referencing the solicitation it is for.
