VOYA 306890 - Replace Power Distribution Line, Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota Solicitation Number: 140P2024R0130
Amendment 2 – Questions and Answers, 9-13-2024
1. We’d like to confirm the set-aside and the NAICS code?
ANSWER: There is an incorrect NAICS Codes indicated in Section K of the Clauses. The correct NAICS is 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, SB size standard is $45M. There is no set-aside. This solicitation is Full and Open.
2. For Factor 2, Technical Qualifications and Specialized Experience, the project experience criteria listed on Page 59 does not match the scope of the project. This section describes a similar project as being: “Design and Construction of Historic Masonry Structures, reinforced concrete structures, historic structures, or similar type.” However, the scope of the project appears to be almost entirely electrical in nature, and it would seem that past experience with complex electrical projects of similar size would be a more appropriate criterion. It is unclear if any historic structure work is required at all. Please clarify.
ANSWER: The Factor 2 requirement in Section L on page 59 is revised, in part, from “Design and Construction of Historic Masonry Structures…” to “Design and Construction of electrical projects of similar size”
3. Please verify that there are no preliminary drawings available for this project.
ANSWER: A location map is provided in the document “B09_Amend 1_VOYA Location Maps.pdf” in Amendment 1. A full POR package will be provided for Phase 2 with additional Specifications and diagrams.
4. The RFP indicates an available net construction amount of $12,121,765, and yet
Page 60 of the RFP document states that we must have bonding capacity of $30 million for a single project, and this is a go/no-go factor. Do you anticipate, therefore, that the value of this project will actually be greater than $30 million?
ANSWER: The required Bonding Capacity is revised to $20M for a Single Project.
