Question No. Sheet or Reference Question Response Date

Answered

1 Please confirm that only 1 proposal volume (Technical) is required under the Phase 1- Step 1 Proposal. Yes 4/16/2024

2 In the Phase 1-Step 1 Proposal, are we required to submit the SF 1442? If so, where should it be included?

Yes, please submit with Phase I, offerors can acknowlege Amendments on 1442 or on individual

SF-30's.

4/16/2024

3 Under Factor 2, the solicitation references that we use the "attached SF 330 Form" but no document under this name was included, will the NPS provide a revised document?

SF330's are not required, offeror's may use any means to provide information. 4/16/2024

4 When the solicitation references using the "attached SF 330 Form" are we actually meant to use the B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form? SF 330's are not required. Key Personnel Form is. 4/16/2024

Factor 3 asks us to submit PPQs based on the same projects submitted under Factor 1 but Factor 1 - Technical Approach is a narrative section. Should the reference to Factor 1 projects be Factor 2 projects in this instance?

Yes, Please submit PPQ's based on projects associated with Factor 2. 4/16/2024

Question No. Sheet or Reference Question Response Date

Answered

Under Factor 2, are we to complete a revised SF 330 Form to showcase project experience or the Project Experience Form included in B808_Attachment_3_Solit_PSP_Vol_I-Proposal_Submission_Section_L?

SF 330's are not required. Offerors may use any means to demonstrate offerors past experience. 4/16/2024

The current submission deadline is May 6, 2024 - our team could use some additional time to compile the requested information and ensure we have a complete submittal.

Would it be possible to get a 2 week time extension?

Phase I deadline will be extended by one week. 4/16/2024

8 Are PEQ's and PPQ's only required for the GC and AE Lead Designer/Engineer of Record or are Key Consultants also required to submit this information? GC and AE Lead Designer/Engineer of Record 4/22/2024

If we utilize two firms to compile our AE team (one engineering and one architectural) are we limited to a total of 5 projects between the two firms or are both firms expected to submit 3-5 projects each?

Offerors are limited to a total of 3-5 projects. 4/22/2024

FILE B08_Solit_Clauses_Construction_4_3_24 (Page 53): The document states: “Each Offeror shall complete and provide the attached standard form 330 for the AE and GC on the DB team and documentation sufficient to demonstrate the extent of the Offeror’s past experience for at least three (3) but no more than five (5) projects.” Question: Is the intent of NPS to have each member of the DB Team submit 3-5 projects; that is, a DB Team of three companies might collectively submit 9-15 projects? OR, does the term

“Offeror” mean the member companies collectively, and that the entire submittal in total should have no more than 3-5 projects spread among the team members of the DB

Team?

SF 330's are not required. Offerors may use any means to demonstrate offerors past experience. 3-5 projects each team team member and DB.

FILE B08_Solit_Clauses_Construction_4_3_24 (Page 53-54): We are unsure when reading references to “projects” as to whether the intent is to describe requirements for

Project Descriptions (what might be found in Section F of an SF330) that will be reflected in the attached Project Experience Questionnaire; or if the reference is to the projects listed in the Personnel Resumes that will be presented on Attachment 1 (a version of the form typically found in Section E of an SF330).

Project descriptions for Project Experience Questionnaire 4/22/2024

Question: Should both Project Descriptions and Personnel Resumes present projects less than 5 years old and involving construction that is at least 50% complete? Or is the

50% construction completed requirement only for one or the other?

Both. See revised answer below 4/22/2024

13 Should both Project Descriptions be limited to 3-5 projects for the entirety of the submission, or per each Team Member? Entirety of the submission 4/22/2024

14 Should both Personnel Resumes be limited to 3-5 projects per resume; or the 3 slots on the supplied form; or the 5 slots typically found on an SF330 Section E form? 3-5 Projects per resume 4/22/2024

FILE B08_Solit_Clauses_Construction_4_3_24 (Page 53): The document states “If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member.” Does that mean that if the DB team has an legal entity called, for example, ‘Fantastic AE Firm USA’ and presents a project executed by another legal entity called ‘Fantastic AE Firm Americas’ , the project will not be considered?

Offerors shall demonstrate that the team proposed has worked on projects identified in the proposal. 4/22/2024

16 If we are required to complete the B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form as part of the Phase 1-Step 1 Proposal Effort, how should box #6 and #7 be filled in?

Key Personnel Resume not required for Phase 1 See amendment 3 for revised answer 4/22/2024

Answered

Does "Employer" listed in box #6 of the

B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form mean "the offeror" or the "owner/client of project"?

Key Personnel Resume not required for Phase 1 See amendment 3 for revised answer 4/22/2024

Box #7 indicates "phone number" on the

B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form, is NPS requesting an internal company reference contact or a client reference?

Key Personnel Resume not required for Phase 1 See amendment 3 for revised answer 4/22/2024

On page 56 of 67 it indicates "At a minimum, resumes for the following personnel will be included in the standard form 330." Previous responses to RFIs have indicated that the SF 330 form is not required. Question: Are resumes required to be submitted under Phase 1, Factor 2: TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS AND SPECIALIZED

EXPERIENCE?

Yes. 4/25/2024

If resumes are required for Phase I, we request that QA response #12 be amended to require only Project Descriptions to present projects where construction is at least 50% complete and not Personnel Resumes, at least for the AE Design Firm member of the

DB team, as the requirement greatly limits the relevant projects an AE Design Firm can present on their personnel's resumes. || If not, we request a deadline extension of 1 week because this clarification came quite late, and we must reconvene with multiple key personnel to amend and revise their resumes. This time is also necessary to contact clients whose phone number is in Block 7 of the resumes and ensure they are willing to act as a reference (see also previous Question 18).

Resumes are required, but offerors may use any format they wish. 4/25/2024

21 The B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form was provided as an attachment in Phase 1. Is this attachment required under Factor 2 for the phase 1 submission?

Resumes are required, but offerors may use any format they wish. 4/25/2024

22 Are our Project Experience writeups limited to 1 page? Yes, please limit project experience write ups to one page per project 4/25/2024

Answered

23 Please clarify the responses to questions 16, 17 and 18 that do not answer the questions asked. See revised answers below. 4/25/2024

24 Please confirm if resumes are not required until Phase 2 as the responses to 16, 17 and 18 state, which seems to differ from the RFP page 56.

Resumes are required, in phase I. See revised answers below. 4/25/2024

Question 12 states that key peoples' projects presented in the key resumes should be

"less than 5 years old." For the AE firm, does that mean the design portion or construction itself?

Projects where construction was completed within the last five years may be used. 4/25/2024

Question: Should both Project Descriptions and Personnel Resumes present projects less than 5 years old and involving construction that is at least 50% complete? Or is the

50% construction completed requirement only for one or the other?

This is a revision to answer 12. The 50% completed requirement applies to project descriptions only. 4/25/2024

27 If we are required to complete the B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form as part of the Phase 1-Step 1 Proposal Effort, how should box #6 and #7 be filled in?

This is a revision to answer 16. Filling out the B01_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form is at the discretion of the proposer. To reiterate, Standard Form 330s are not required and offerors may use their own resume format.

4/25/2024

Does "Employer" listed in box #6 of the

B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form mean "the offeror" or the "owner/client of project"?

This is a revision to answer 17. The offerors shall follow the instructions on the form. Box 6 Employer is meant to list which company the employee worked for while working on that project. To reiterate, Standard Form 330s are not required and offerors may use their own resume format.

Box #7 indicates "phone number" on the

B08_Attachment_1_Key_Personnel_Resume_Form, is NPS requesting an internal company reference contact or a client reference?

This is a revision to answer 18. This phone number is for the employer. 4/25/2024

30 Please confirm that we will be able to set up a concrete batch plant on NPS property on the island for the project.

The park has two potential staging areas on NPS land available for contractor use. A 0.8 acre lot

South of Bayview Ave and west of Toledo Ave and an approximately 2.25 acre grassy area on the east side of the memorial. The area west of the memorial to the visitor's center will not be available for contractor staging use.
