DESCRIPTION

This is the first modification to the Request for SF330s on the subject action (36C776-23-R-0024).

The purpose of the modified notice is to:

1. Answer vendor questions

2. Provide updated Statement of Work for Brockton

3. Revise the evaluation factors and key personnel to add commissioning scope Answer vendor questions:

1. Should a separate draft schedule be included in the SF330 for each of the five projects? There should be one draft schedule. The overall schedule must have enough detail for each site so that the activities needed to complete the designs for each station are shown. The schedule also must show how you intend to work all projects at/around the same time.

1. Are there required Bid Alternates? No, there are no bid alternates for any of the projects.

1. Is a state specific stamp for Architecture and Engineering required? No

1. Is there Commissioning, if so who provides it? Yes, commissioning is required. Please review each draft SOW for commissioning information. Where commissioning is required, the A/E will provide it.

1. For the Brockton VAMC project, how far do Option 1 and Option 2 need to be developed? Basis of design (10%)

1. Should submissions be for all projects or just those we are interested in? How many contracts will be awarded? As stated in the Request for SF330s, a single-award Indefinite Delivery Definite will be awarded and each of the five projects will be individual task orders awarded on that vehicle. Therefore, you must submit a response that addresses all five projects. Only one contract will be awarded that covers all five projects. Please review the SF330 for more details.

Updated Statement of Work - Brockton:

The Brockton Statement of Work has been updated to accurately reflect the square footage needs for Option 1 and Option 2. Corrections to the table under “Space Requirements” as well as the amount of square footage needed via Option #1 or Option #2 have been made.
