ADDENDUM 2

Q: The SF1442, item 10, states “Contractor shall provide proof of completion of Vets-4212 report and be registered in VetBiz, http://www.dol.gov/vets/vets4212.htm and SAM (System of Award Management) prior to award.” The proposal submittal instructions, RFP pages 17-18 of 97, do not include instructions for submission of the proof of completion of Vets-4212. Please confirm that the proof of completion of Vets-4212 is to be submitted during Phase 2 only.

A: We are fine with it being submitted in phase 2.

Q: RFP page 11 of 97, under the heading “Safety or Environmental Violations and Experience Modification Rate” Offerors are required to submit “a certification that the bidder/offeror has no more than three (3) serious, or one (1) repeat or one (1) willful OSHA or any EPA violation(s) in the past three years” in addition to information regarding EMR. Please confirm that this information is to be submitted during Phase 2 only.

A: We are fine with it being submitted in phase 2.

Q: RFP page 16 of 97, paragraph g, states that proposals are limited to 50 pages in length. Please confirm that the 50-page limit does not apply to covers, cover letter, table of contents, or tab dividers which are provided solely for organizational purposes.

A: It does not and the 50 has been increased to 70 pages.

Q: RFP page 16 of 07, paragraph g, states that proposals are limited to 50 pages in length. Please confirm that forms such as the SF1442 and SF30’s for amendments are excluded from this 50-page limit.

A: They are excluded

Q: The SF1442, Block 16, states “Submit proposals through vendor portal.” However, RFP page 17 of 97, paragraph d, indicates that a binder and a CD could be submitted to Dr. Glen Welch in Leavenworth, KS. Please confirm that Offerors should ONLY submit proposals through the VA Vendor Portal in accordance with the SF1442, Block 16, and that a physical copy of the proposal is NOT required.

A: All language pertaining to the Vendor Portal is removed. We need one hard copy and one CD copy.

Q: RFP page 21 of 97, paragraph A, states, “Offeror shall submit information regarding their design team by providing all the information requested on the SF330.” Typical SF330 responses are approximately 50 pages in length. The RFP indicates a 50-page limit overall for the entire submission; therefore, submitting an SF33 for Factor 3 would take up the ENTIRE page limit for Phase 1. Please confirm:

A: Offerors must use the SF330 template (specifically, Part I sections E and F) to submit the nine resumes and three project descriptions requested for Factor 3.

Q: RFP page 23 of 97, Subfactor 4E, requires a Structural Engineer resume to be submitted. Subfactor 3A already requests a Structural Engineer resume. We respectfully request that the additional requirement for a Structural Engineer resume in Subfactor 4E be removed, as the resume is already required under Subfactor 3A.

A: The resumes are only required once.
