AMENDMENT 000007 FOR 36C78618R0078

SOLICITATION NUMBER: 36C78618R0078 VA NATIONAL VETERANS BURIAL GROUND CEMETERY BUHL, TWIN FALLS COUNTY, ID MASTER PLAN AND DESIGN BUILD PHASE I Phase II Responses to Requests for Information for solicitation 36C78618R0078

QUESTION 22: As per p6 and p23 in RFP, a gravesite locator feature/structure is a component of the project program. As there is no public information center building in the project scope, it is our understanding this feature would be a freestanding unit. Is there information available on the components and requirements of this feature?

RESPONSE 22: This is a stand, which holds a 215 mm x 275 mm (8-1/2" x 11") book-type listing of individuals interred in the cemetery along with the corresponding gravesite number. The stand should accommodate public use of the document and protect it from the elements. The design should coordinate with all other site appurtenances. More information can be found on page 4-29 of the National Cemetery Administration (NCA) Design Guide on the TIL website link found in the SOW.

It is up to the designer to establish the means and methods to accomplish what is required. At this time, the NCA will not limit the various methods to accomplish this task in the most efficient manner and within budget.

QUESTION 23: As per p17 of 80 in RFP listing required key personnel for resumes (or “biographical data”). It seems the roles of Mechanical Engineer and Plumbing Engineer would not be required for this project? Is it acceptable to not include those two as required? Also, since Factor 3 page limit is 15 pages and currently 12 key personnel are listed, can the remaining pages be filled with other key personnel (not listed) that we feel are relevant?

RESPONSE 23: The role of the Mechanical Engineer may not required, but the role of a Plumbing Engineer is required due to the irrigation system portion of the scope. Yes, you may fill the remaining pages with other personnel not listed if you have provided all the information you have on the required personnel.

QUESTION 24: Are the “biographical data” (resumes) for Factor 3 intended to be one page for each person? Or any length as long as total length does not exceed 15 pages? Since 3 projects are requested (per person), if this doesn’t fill a page would adding 4th/5th projects be acceptable or do you solely want 3? Are ½ page resumes per person acceptable?

RESPONSE 24: The biographical data for Factor 3 is not intended to be one page for each person. Total pages combined for all shall not exceed 15 pages. Only 3 projects are required. There is no requirement, benefits or penalties for additional projects. There is no requirement for the number of resume pages. However, more information will provide a better understanding for consideration.

QUESTION 25: Would you like copies of individual Idaho professional licenses included after the resumes (in Factor 3)? If so, please confirm that these would not count in page count?

RESPONSE 25: Yes, include professional licenses after the resumes. Any license information will not count towards the total page count for that Factor.
