Karla Rotondo Contracting Officer Question 1. Exhibit D indicates bidders must self-perform a minimum of 25% of the contract value. Can the government confirm that otherwise qualified SDVOSB GC bidders will be disqualified if unable to meet this high self-performance minimum?

VA Response: The exact performance requirements applicable under the contract are the contractor will not pay more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs as set forth in 852.219-10 paragraph. (VAAR 852.219-77(a)(1)(iii)). The certificate is required by VAAR 819.7009(b) and 38 USC 8127(k)(2). The certificate is S02 EXHIBIT E VAAR Clause 852.219-77 Certificate of Compliance. Offerors are required to complete and submit with their offer VAAR 852.219-77 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting—Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction. Instructions for the certificate are at Section 4.16. PROPOSAL EVALUATION and are on page 3 of the certificate.

Question 2. 3.5.2 Subfactor B. Personnel and Organization instructs to provide an organizational chart including nine work categories, the overarching JV, and the members of the JV if applicable. Can you confirm if the government is asking for a single org chart reflecting both overarching JV corporate organization and project-specific organization?

VA Response: Yes. A single detailed organization chart is required reflecting both the overarching JV corporate organization and project-specific organization.

Or is it sufficient to present an org chart with key personnel and the nine work categories simply indicating which roles will be performed by each JV member?

VA Response: No. A single detailed organization chart is required reflecting both the overarching JV corporate organization and project-specific organization.

Question 3. Will the government accept submission of CPARS for Factor 2 in lieu of requiring new PPQs?

VA Response: No. Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) are required. Reference: 3.6 VOLUME I – Factor 2, Past Performance. Paragraph 3.6.4 is corrected to read as follows:

Past Performance References – REQUIRED – Offerors shall prepare and submit to prior client(s) not less than three (3) past performance references on your EXHIBIT C package.

Question 4. There was a sole source selection and justification for this project to have Cleaver Brooks as the OEM to represent the boiler equipment.

VA Response: The Justification and Approval is Attachment S02 JA. Cleaver-Brooks satisfies the requirements of Section 23 52 39 (Standard Details Div 23 and Specifications Div 23, 03-01-22, VA Healthcare Environment & Facilities Programs (HEFP).
