DEVA 318717

RFP 140P2025R0082 - DEVA 318717

Rehabilitate Furnace Creek & Cow Creek Areas Water & Wastewater Treatment Systems

Issued 10/31/2025.

2 I also noticed the specification under Section 03 calls for Crystalline Cementitious Waterproofing at a minimum 2% dosage rate. Xypex provides this type of crystalline admixture, and we’d like to make sure the intent of the spec is properly carried through to the bidders.

If possible, could you confirm whether this spec is intended for the new or rehabilitated manholes and pump station concrete? That will help us guide contractors and ready-mix suppliers correctly. The intent of the Waterproofing Specification in Section 03 31 30 is for the Lift Station Wet Well only. No other concrete components on the project need waterproofing. It is also worth clarifying that the lift station wet well will also have a corrosion protection coating system, as specified in Section 33 31 05 - Section 2.2 for Manhole Lining. Amendment 0004, Issued 10/31/2025.

3 In the RFP docs under Volume 1, section FACTOR 5 it refers to submitting a SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION from “All Offerors (including small business and other than small businesses) shall submit documentation that address the evaluation criteria defined in the Small Business Participation factor contained in Section M of this solicitation. *Note, Small Business Participation is separate (and a different document) from the Small Business Subcontracting Plan under Volume II”.

The Small Business Participation form is missing from the RFP docs; can you please provide this form. There is no pre-printed form for the Evaluation Factor #5 - Small Business Participation submittal with the Volume I: Non-Price Proposal. Offerors shall submit documentation, limited to 8pgs (preferably) and formatted as seen fit, that addresses the following criteria (as stated in Section M):

• The extent to which firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals.

• The extent to which Offerors demonstrate substantive commitment to small business firms, such as letters of commitment, Joint Ventures, mentor/protégé agreements, or other demonstrations of commitment (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements).

• Identification of the type and variety of work small business firms are to perform (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements).

• The extent of participation of small business Prime Offerors and small business Subcontractors in terms of the value of the total acquisition (total contract value) (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements).

• The extent to which the Offeror provides detailed explanations/documentation supporting the proposed quantitative participation.

• Extent to which the Offeror complied with requirements of FAR 52.219-8 – “Utilization of Small Business Concerns,” (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements).

• Extent to which the Offeror complied with requirements of FAR clause 52.219-9 – “Small Business Subcontracting Plan,” (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements).

*Note, the pre-printed form for the Small Business Subcontracting Plan submittal with the Volume II: Price Proposal may be found under Section J, Attachment #5 (document file entitled, B08_Attach5 - Small Business SubPlan.docx). Amendment 0004, Issued 10/31/2025.
