In accordance with the specifications and contract clauses, any brand names noted in the RFP are used only to identify colors, finishes, textures, and patterns, etc. to identify the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that “equal” products must meet (see FAR clause 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal). Any proposed “equal” product will be addressed during the post award submittal review/ approval process.

RFI 0008

Mechanical plans state: Contractor shall submit calculations and details with the above referenced code prepared by a licensed registered professional civil or structural engineer demonstrating compliance.

Do we need to include this cost in our proposal?

Response No, this part of the statement on the plans should be eliminated. No calculations by a structural engineer are required. This note is contained on page M-1 in both sets of plans.

RFI 0011

REFERENCE: RFP page 18, Para G.7.4, d. TO award is to be Best Value. Then there is a comment in bold about “When Price is only Factor…”.

QUESTION: Is this Seed Task Order a Best Value award or low price?

Response The referenced section applies to ordering procedures after award. This is a Best Value Tradeoff (see Sections L and M). After award, each task order solicitation will clearly identify any submission requirements and the evaluation criteria being utilized for award.

RFI 0012

REFERENCE: RFP Page 26, Section H.11 refers to a schedule.

QUESTION: Is this schedule to be included in the Cost or Narrative response to the RFP, or is it required at this time?

Response Not required at this time. Schedules are post award submittals unless otherwise specified in a task order solicitation. Note the revised Section H.11 info provided with amendment 0003.

RFI 0013

REFERENCE: RFP page 28, Para. H.14 KEY PERSONNEL – “The Contractor shall provide the government with the names and contact information for the key personnel responsible for each task order project. This information shall be provided in each proposal that is submitted…”

QUESTION: Since this is a proposal for a MATOC with a Seed Project, where would you like us to include these resumes in the documents (MATOC volume or Price volume), or are they required at this time?

Response Resumes are not required.

Note that H.14 defines key personnel as primary personnel who can make binding decisions for the contractor. If all information required by the Cover Letter (Section L.3) is provided with the proposal, H.14 requirements will have been sufficed. If basic contract (i.e. overall MATOC) POCs are different than key personnel for the task order (seed project), please indicate so on the cover letter.

RFI 0014

RFI 0049

Will an Indian Owned Business receive preference on the project?

Response This MATOC solicitation is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside.

RFI 0050

I would like to request clarification on the following provision noted in the RFP for the above noted project;

- H.3 – Tribal Wage Rates / Tribal Employments Rights Office (Tero).

o This section of the RFQ indicates that we are responsible to contact the TERO office to determine wage rates, and any special requirements and fees for the SEED Project located at the Yakama Health Center.

o I contacted Tamara Strong, the TERO Director at the Yakama Nation and she provided the following information;

§ She provided the attached memo which requires 50% Minimum Hire percentage (which she stated to me was not trade specific. It is based upon total worker hours). She also indicated that the wage rates would be the same as the prevailed wages required by our contract.

§ This also states we are required to include a 3% TERO Fee.

§ However, one item which I did not feel was addressed completely is the “Preference in Contracting and Subcontracting” Requirements (and/or Buy Indian Act).

Their Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance states the following in regards to this specific requirement;

“71.05.07: PREFERENCE IN CONTRACTING AND SUBCONTRACTING.

Every employer shall give preference in the award of any contract or subcontract to tribally owned and Indian owned businesses. The TERO Office shall register and maintain a list of tribally owned or Indian owned businesses that shall be supplied to the employers for their use. Employers shall not be required to take any extraordinary measure to identify or locate tribally owned or Indian owned businesses. Each Yakama owned or Indian owned contractor/subcontractor shall apply for certification with the TERO Office and must be certified before accepting an Indian Preference or Yakama Preference contract award.

To become certified applicants shall include all information in Section 71.05.07 (2) to 71.05.07 (5) of this ordinance.”

However, she was not able to provide me with a list of tribally owned or Indian owned business as highlighted in yellow in the above noted ordinance. She indicated they had a list but it had not been updated for quite some time and she was not comfortable sending it to me. So, we have reached out to the subcontracting community requesting sub-bid pricing, but are not certain this is reaching any Indian owned businesses.

So, to recap, can you provide clarification as to specifically which TERO Requirements should be included in our proposal for this Seed Project at the Yakama Nation in Toppenish?

Also, I would like to request an extension to the bid date (by approximately 2 weeks after issuance of an Amendment, or at least 11/20/18) in order to pursue and incorporate these TERO provisions as clarified by an Amendment. We would like more time to continue our efforts to put together the best, most complete, proposal for this project.

Response For reference, see letter from the Yakama Nation TERO office, as well as the Yakama TERO list of Certified Indian Businesses (both provided for informational purposes only). The requirements listed in the letter are applicable to the seed project, however in the event of any discrepancies the Yakama Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance governs. Ultimately, per H.3 of the solicitation, it is the Offeror’s responsibility to account for any TERO requirements and/ or costs in its proposal and for compliance with the program after award.

Note that the 50% hiring percentage is a goal and the TERO (ordinance) states that “Employers shall not be required to take extraordinary measures to identify or locate tribally owned or Indian owned business” with regard to contracting/ subcontracting. A key component to successful TERO implementation is acting in good faith. If the contractor adequately documents the steps taken to ensure TERO compliance, fewer disputes are likely to arise in the event that the contractor experiences challenges while executing the program.

The proposal due date is extended to November 20, 2018 at 2pm local time. Revised SF 1442 is provided.

RFI 0052

During the site visit a question was asked about the card access doors (Government generated question)

Response There are five doors controlled by card readers. They will be installed as contained in the plans. The door access system is currently Delta Controls. The system was installed by Skyline Automated Systems Inc., 509-682-0661, Dan Miner.

The Annex Building HVAC digital controls are Reliable Controls also installed by Skyline.

RFI 0053

RE: Yakama IPC Cooling: Are there specifications for signs or a need for signs?

Response No signs are included in the plans.

Amendment 0004

RFI 0054

The medical equipment indicated in the enlarged Exam Room (Sheet A-8) plan does not match to the medical equipment which is noted in the Schedule C, Section 2, Contract Requirements which list all the individual required items #1 thru 13;

For example

- There is a “wall mounted sphygmomanometer” noted on Sheet A-8, which does not appear to be listed in the medical equipment list.

- Sheet A-8 also shows a “side chair with arms” which is not listed on the medical equipment list

- There are also Hand Soap dispensers and Hand Sanitizer dispensers which do not show up in a spec or the medical equipment list.

Are we to provide just the equipment shown in Schedule C and assume any of the other equipment shown on the drawings but not included in a specification or the equipment list, will be Owner Furnished, Owner installed?

Response The equipment indicated in the enlarged exam room plan is for illustrative purposes only for relative locations of the typical equipment in each room. It is not meant to be reflective of the exact equipment on Schedule C. The soap and hand sanitizers will be installed by others.

RFI 0055

We are receiving questions from potential subcontractors requesting specifically what the TERO requirements are for the seed project in Toppenish. Apparently this requirement is being considered differently by the various contractors. Could you clarify what the specific requirements are for this project as to eliminate the confusion and level the playing field?

Response See RFI 0050.

RFI 0056

Response See attached “Tax Exemption Status” letter for informational purposes. Contractor is responsible for interpreting the applicability of any taxes or tax exemptions associated with the project.

RFI 0066

IPC Demonstration Space: The project documents call for the interior walls remaining to have all the GWB removed in one area and in another it states to remove only what is required for access into the wall. Which is correct?

Response The GWB should be removed as required to access the wall. The contractor may choose to remove all of the GWB for ease of construction.

RFI 0067

Please provide Division 27 Specifications for the IPC Demonstration Space.

Response All communications cabling shall be installed according to current industry standards.

RFI 0068

DWG NO. A-5: Please confirm if the Smoke Rated Wall and double doors shown at the western most hallway of the demonstration space are existing and only require sealing at joints and penetrations.

Response The smoke rated doors are existing and only require sealing at joints and penetrations.

RFI 0069

Is Commissioning only required for the scope of work areas in this seed project, or will this extend to all of B20 and B27 to integrate the systems?

Response

Amendment 0004

The commissioning is only required for the scope of the work areas.

RFI 0071

If resumes are required for the Seed Project, where would you like us to put them in the proposal? The RFP instructions do not include the provision of resumes, nor will they fit within the page limits; however, Section H.14 of the contract clauses states:

H.14 KEY PERSONNEL

The Contractor shall provide the government with the names and contact information for the key personnel responsible for each task order project. This information shall be provided in each proposal that is submitted. Please clarify.

Response See RFI 0013.

RFI 0072

One of our potential flooring subcontractors is indicating to me that the following product is being discontinued and we would like to request an alternate product be specified;

- Sheet A5.1, the flooring noted in Area C, “Resinous Floor Tile; Fritztile Riverstone 12” x 12””. .. is the product which is being discontinued.

- He has suggested an alternate product; the Mohawk “Better Together” 5 mm LVT (and has provided the attached product data). He said he has used this product in several jobs with high traffic and it has never disappointed.

Response The contract states that a resinous floor tile; Fritztile 12"x12" or approved equal shall be used. The clinic currently has Fritztile and the alternate product listed is quite different in appearance manufacture than the specified tile and would not likely be approved during the post award submittal process.

4. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. The proposal due date is extended to November 20, 2018 at 2pm local time. Offerors are reminded to acknowledge receipt of all amendments when submitting proposals in accordance with the RFP requirements.

Attached to this solicitation is a Seed Project Scope of Work (SOW). It is intended that the Seed Project becomes the first task orders issued under this MATOC. The Seed Project SOW contains all the information necessary to complete a price proposal for the work stipulated.

The Offeror shall review the documentation and provide a price proposal addressing all the requirements in the SOW for the Seed Project with the level of detail specified in this section. The Seed Project is a valid IHS requirement and the Government intends to award the Seed Project concurrent with the award of all MATOCs as part of the award process. The price for the proposed Seed Project shall be utilized for purposes of price analysis for evaluation and award of the MATOCs.

See Section J, Attachment 1 for more detailed information about the seed project.

B.3 PERIOD OF SERVICE

Each contract will include a base period of one year from the date of award and four optional one year periods, for a total contract performance period not-to-exceed five years.

B.4. MINIMUM GUARANTEE

The Government makes no representation as to the number of Task Orders or actual amount of work to be ordered; however, during the term of the contract, a minimum of $1,000 is guaranteed for each awardee.

The contractor that represents the best value will be awarded the first Task Order (i.e. seed project), and the minimum guarantee for that contractor will be satisfied, unless award of the seed project is not feasible or in the best interest of the Government. Otherwise, the Government intends to satisfy the minimum guarantee by negotiating a Task Order directly with each contractor in a sole source environment.

To satisfy each minimum guarantee, MATOC awardees will be solicited in alphabetical order according to contractor name and assigned a random project in the region at a value under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) at the Contracting Officer’s discretion depending on the current needs of the customer. If a Contractor refuses the project solicited to satisfy its minimum guarantee, it will forfeit its minimum guarantee and may not have its contract renewed for the next option period.

After each minimum guarantee is satisfied, all eligible MATOC contractors will be provided a fair opportunity to compete for each project offered under this contract unless one of exceptions listed at FAR 16.505(b) (2) apply.

B.5 MAXIMUM AWARD AMOUNTS

The maximum task order amount for this contract is $10,000,000; however, most projects are anticipated to range between $100,000 and $800,000. The maximum ordering capacity is $15,000,000 total for each contract awarded under this MATOC, or five years, whichever comes first.
