Protective Coating IDIQ RFP No. 140R3022R0010/001

Questions and Answers

1. Section L, L.10 Proposal Instructions, Volume I- Business Proposal, items (11) - Subcontracting Plan

Question - Typically subcontracting plan small business utilization percentages are based on a dollar amount (contract value or estimated proposed dollar value to be subcontracted). Since this RFP is an IDIQ there is no contract value yet, Is the Subcontracting Plan initially submitted for this RFP to be based on the bid for Task Order #1- Tailbay Stoplogs Recoating?

a. Answer - RFP Attachment 11 – Subcontracting Plan Format’s Section 2: GOALS, includes a table which states “Entire Ordering Period (Five Years).” Each Offeror (who is not self-certified as a small business under NAICS 238320 Painting and Wall Covering Contractors) is expected to provide a Subcontracting Plan with their initial Volume I – Business Proposal. If applicable to the Offeror, the Government is expecting to see a filled-out Attachment 11 – Subcontracting Plan Format which identifies the Offeror’s goals over that five-year IDIQ ordering period as a cumulative set of goals (instead of year by year). Each large business Offeror should assume a cumulative prime contract value of $12 million over five years to complete Attachment 11 – Subcontracting Plan Format. RFP Attachment 11 is updated to clarify the Section 2: GOALS table.

4. Attachment 3 – Task Order 1 – Tailbay Stoplogs SOW: Section 3.02 Fasteners and Obsolete Equipment

Question – Who will be responsible? If the stiffener plates are beyond use, does the Contractor supply the plates, or does BOR?
