Solicitation Number P140P2121R0031 Amendment Number P00001

Description of Amendment/Modification William Howard Taft National Historic Site

The purpose of this amendment is to respond to questions received by the date and time specified for Solicitation Number P140P2121R0031, Exhibit Planning and Design Services for William Howard Taft National Historic Site (WIHO).

1. Page 10 states: "The contractor shall budget for acquisition of 4% of use rights and production quality images and other IP used in the exhibits.” On the same page the production budget is described as: " between $600,000 - $618,000.” Are we correct to understand the 4% which should be allocated to acquire rights and images is 4% of the production budget or of the proposer’s design fee? Please clarify.

RESPONSE: The 4% shall be allocated to acquire right and images.

2. Page 3 states the period of performance as: "Period of Performance: 09/15/2021 to 09/30/2023.” Does the government look favorably upon a schedule that can accelerate this period of performance or is the utilization of the full period of performance, without acceleration, preferable?

RESPONSE: The Period of Performance in the scope of work is the typical length of time for NPS Exhibit Planning and Design contracts. Without acceleration is preferred.

3. Page 45: In reference to the Past Performance references there is a note that reads: "Note:

Listing completed projects does not address this criterion. A narrative that articulates experience and description of technical expertise in methods and analysis for these needs should be provided.” Can you explain what this means? Are you looking for a narrative for each project for which the Past Performance Questionnaire is included, or something different?

RESPONSE: Yes, we are looking for a narrative for each project included as past performance samples.

4. Page 21: Regarding travel costs, the Solicitation reads: "Travel costs shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations. Travel is only funded to the extent specified within the travel CLIN”. Is it correct to interpret this to mean that travel costs are refunded only to the extent that they fall within Federal travel regulations and with appropriate documentation to the government, and with out mark up?

RESPONSE: The travel costs proposed shall be in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations and shall not include mark up.
