CONTINUATION PAGE

QUESTIONS RECEIVED FROM SITE VISIT DATED 08/15/2024 FOR MARION JOC

QUESTION 1: Subfactor 2 a: Quality Control: Do you want the actual Plan, or a description?

ANSWER 1: The subfactor 2a in the Proposal Submittal Instructions was revised to match the Quality Control Plan section of the Statement of Work in page 49 (page 49 of your copy but page 48 of the CO’s copy) of the originally published solicitation. Please use the revised Proposal Submittal Instruction for factor 2.a as attached. The revised Proposal Submittal Instruction replaces the originally published Proposal Submittal Instruction in its entirety.

QUESTION 2: Subfactor 2a asks for description, but page 49 (page 48 my copy) seems to say put the whole plan in the proposal.

ANSWER 2: No changes on Quality Control Plan section of the Statement of Work but changes were made on subfactor 2a in the Proposal Submittal Instruction to reflect the same requirement from Quality Control section of the Statement of Work.

QUESTION 3: Should sub-factor 2 Technical approach actually say Factor 2 Technical approach?

ANSWER 3: This was corrected in the Amendment 0001 to the solicitation that was posted in SAM.gov to read “Factor 2-Technical Approach”

QUESTION 4: Factor 3. Relevant Experience: Are these projects separate from the projects listed in Factor 4 Past performance?

ANSWER 4: Factors 3 and 4 projects can be the same project if they meet the requirements of factors 3 or 4. The past performance from projects used in factor 3 is acceptable for factor 4. Please read the revised proposal submittal instructions for the timeline used on past performance for these factors.

QUESTION 5: For factor 3 there is a list of project information to be submitted. Are we required to use the Attachment 2 survey for relevant experience?

ANSWER 5: No, you are not required to use attachment 2. You can use your own form but please ensure you are submitting your project information in accordance with factor 3 requirement.

QUESTION 6: We noticed that attachment #2 has a different solicitation number. Could you provide the correct attachment?

ANSWER 6: Attachment 2 solicitation number was corrected from 36C25524R0054 to 36C25524R0056 and is attached. The original attachment 2 is saved in word document. You can also edit and correct one digit of the solicitation number for this JOC solicitation in the attachment 2.

QUESTION 7: There is some conflicting information that is raising some questions. Factor 3 Relevant Experience states projects should have been started and completed in the last 3 years. However, attachment #2 form states projects may be on-going and cannot have been completed any later than 5 years prior to the issuance of this solicitation. Can you please clarify? We feel that if this is in fact started and completed jobs within the last 3 years it is conflicting and appears to be limiting competition or written to favor of the incumbent contractor.

ANSWER 7: Factor 3 Relevant Experience has been revised to match with the attachment 2 requirement. The Proposal Submittal Instruction has been revised to reflect this change. Please use the attached, revised copy of the Proposal Submittal Instruction.

QUESTION 8: The attachment #2 form does not match the instructions in Factor 3. We request that the instructions are revised to match the form.

ANSWER: The attachment 2 has been revised to match with factor 3. Please use the revised attachment 2.

QUESTION 9: Will you accept previously submitted PPQs or CPARS if we have them?

ANSWER 9: Yes, if the PPQ or CPARS were submitted within the last five years.

QUESTION 10: Will you accept projects that are larger in magnitude than $500K under past performance?

ANSWER 10: yes.

QUESTION 11: Factor 4 Past Performance states again projects completed within the last 5 years. Does this mean we can submit different projects from those listed in relevant experience?

ANSWER 11: yes, if projects are similar in scope of work to this project.
