The purpose of the amendment is to address 4 RFI's, an updated SOW and an extended solicitation.

1. See continuation page for questions and answers

2. All other terms and conditions will remain the same

RFI#1 Under paragraph 2. Submission Requirements, one of the bullet points states, “The submission must include the SF 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications form which is available online…” Does this mean the Offeror must use the fill-in form available on-line, or is it just a reference as to where to find the form if a person isn’t familiar with it?

The submission must include the SF330, the link provides the form if needed.

RFI#2 Under paragraph 4.a. Selection Criteria 1, it states, “Offer must include the following statement of SDVOSB compliance on the cover page when submitting the personnel proposed ….” This implies that a cover page is to be used for the SF330 submission. If yes, does the cover page count toward the page limitation? Alternatively, could the referenced statement be placed after Section C or on the same page as the organizational chart (Section D)?

The SDVOSB certification is required on the cover page. The 50-page limit includes any other relevant information, so yes cover page counts toward the 50.

RFI#3 Our team had a question for the reference solicitation: Secondary Selection Criterion Factor 1, Geographic Location is referenced, but I don’t see it in the solicitation. Perhaps it was mistakenly left off. Can you review and update the solicitation to include all secondary selection criteria?

1. Secondary Selection Criterion*:

0. Geographic Location

Location of the firm, as measured by the driving distance (miles) between the Offeror’s principal business location and the Roseburg VAMC, 913 NW Garden Valley Blvd, Roseburg, Oregon 97471. Determination of the mileage will be based on Google Maps. (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/).

*The secondary selection criterion is used as a tiebreaker, if necessary, in ranking the most highly qualified firms following the completion of discussions. The secondary selection criterion will not be applied when determining a firm’s SF 330 submission “highly qualified” or “not highly qualified.”

RFI#4 We have reviewed the SOW for the subject project. It appears to have a condition assessment/feasibility portion (Para II A 1) and a design portion to implement what was found in the assessment/feasibility portion. (Para II A 2). There would be no way for the AE team to provide fees for the implementation of FCA findings without having done the FCA first. This project would need to be broken into 2 phases (or 2 separate projects). The first phase would be the feasibility/assessment phase with the accompanying AE fee. Then after that phase was complete an updated SOW for the second phase which incorporated the findings from the first phase. It would seem like the Scope/Objectives paragraph needs to be updated to reflect a 2-phase approach for fees.

Please see updated SOW attached.

The solicitation response date is extended to Friday May 24th at 1:00 PST.
