QUESTION AND ANSWER (RFI)

CORRECTION AND CLARIFICATION

Question #1:

For planning the preliminary project schedule, please provide an anticipated award date.

Answer #1:

The goal is to award this contract by November 30, 2023. This date is contingent on the quality of bids received and them meeting all criteria for award. Moreover, the bid must adhere to the current marketplace's pricing for award.

Question #2:

Can Offerors submit their bids via email?

Answer #2:

Please review the instruction in solicitation, particularly pages 1-13.

Question #3:

What is the approximate duration between issuing the award and issuing the NTP?

Answer #3:

After the award, the government and the awardee discuss the notice to proceed.

Typically, it is issued after the performance bond has been received.

Question #4

Is this project eligible for tax exemption, and will the CO/COR provide the required tax-exempt certificates?

Answer #4

Yes, this is a federal contract award. Although the processes may vary, a pre-construction meeting will be held after the award to manage this and other information.

Question #5: As a result of the effect of COVID-19 throughout the U.S., and the resulting Federal, State and local governments’ responses /requirements of safe distancing and potential advocations of working remotely and/or complete organization closures, please advise.

How the Government intends to address delays resulting there as it pertains to the current solicitation schedule for this and all future projects.

Answer #5:

a) As we only speak for this opportunity, we cannot give advice on the outcome of something that hasn't occurred. Issues and concerns will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

b) The contractor is responsible for the ICRA and schedule. However, the Government shall inspect and monitor each as per the prescribed standards.
