1 Section L

“Each Offeror shall complete and provide the attached Standard Form 330 Part I and II 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 of similar size, scope, and complexity (as further defined in this evaluation factor). Of this group of similar projects, the GC must have served as the prime contractor of at least one project, the AE must have had responsibility for developing the detailed design and construction documents for at least one project, and the AE and GC worked together of at least on project.”

1) Can the government provide any additional context as to what constitutes “similar, size, scope and complexity” when it comes to past performance, including the required dollar range?

Phase I Factor 2 Technical Qualifications and Specialized Experience provides context for size, scope, and complexity for Phase I Factor 3 Past Performance.

NPS does not specify a required dollar range.

2 Section L

2) Can the government provide additional context as to what is meant by the line “…and the AE and GC worked together on at least one project?” Is it the government’s intention that this requirement be restricted to a GC and AE having worked together on a Design Build project of similar size, scope and complexity, whereby the AE was under contract to the GC? Or is it also acceptable if the GC and AE worked together on a Design Bid Build project where the AE was the designer of record for the owner? Or are both scenarios (Design Build and Design Bid Build) acceptable?

"and the AE and GC worked together of at least on project. ” Is changed to "Indicate where the AE and GC have worked together on a project(s). Prior experience working together will be rated more favorably."

This requirement is not restricted to a GC and AE that have previously worked together on Design Build Project.

Do you have a higher quality set of drawings? Then ones we downloaded off of Sam.Gov are pixelated in important areas.

The lower quality figures in the POR document are available in the Attachment 2 POR Appendices document in higher quality.

4 Section L Phase 1, Volume 1, Factor 3 – Due to the recent reduction in force, there is no one remaining to fill out a past performance questionnaire for a relevant experience. Can we submit previously completed and signed questionnaires?

The preference is to have recent PPQs; however, previous PPQs are better than no PPQs.

5 Section L

Phase 1, Volume 1, Factor 2, page 77 – I have a few questions about the SF 330 requirements.

Page 77 says the GC is supposed to fill out this form. However, this form is typically for the AE team and even states that it is for Architect-Engineering Qualifications. For example, the list of disciplines on page 5 of the SF 330 mentions a construction manager, but there’s not a code for roles required for this project, such as superintendent and quality control manager. Is there another form that the GC can complete? Or can the GC provide project information / write-ups in the proposal rather than on this form?

The SF 330 requires personnel resumes via page 10 of the form, but Phase 2, Factor 4 also requires key personnel resumes. Do we just fill out the past performance part of the SF330?

The GC can provide project information / write-ups in the proposal that provide similar quality information as a comparable to the SF330 form (Attachment 4 of Solicitation) that is more aligned to Architect-Engineer Qualifications

Yes, fill out the past performance part of SF330. NPS can seek additional information in clarification/questions if applicable

6 Section L The third full paragraph on page 77 states, “Both the prime contractor and the design firm(s) shall each submit no more than five (5) projects.” Just to clarify, is that 5 projects total or 5 projects each?

Submit no more than 5 each. 8/28/2025

7 Section L

Page 77 states, “The Offer may provide a supplemental narrative (not project lists) not to exceed two (2) pages, explaining how any corporate experience that is not directly related to the specific projects above is applicable to this project and how the Government will benefit.”

Is that per project or total for all 3-5 projects?

As it states this supplemental narrative is not directly related to the projects above. It is a 2 page total limit, not 2 pages per project. It is up to the offeror to determine the content so long as its not just a project list.

8 Section L Page 78 says, “Submit proof of bonding capacity with a minimum of $15 million for a single project. Proof of bonding capacity is a go/no-go factor under Phase 1.” I don’t see a go/no-go list anywhere else.

There is no list 8/21/2025 1

We would like to request a 1-week extension based on these questions and on the upcoming Labor Day holiday.

Proposal submittal due date is extended to September 22, 2025 at 1300 Mountain Time.

10 Section L On the past experience projects, it states between 3 and 5 projects. Can you clarify if that is combined for the AE and GC or is it 3 to 5 for the GC and 3 to 5 for the AE?
