Amendment A00003 for 36C78618R0094 Great Lakes National Cemetery DB 2,000

RFI Responses

Response 3: An exact timeframe is not known; approximately 30 – 60 calendar days from receipt of Phase I proposals.

Question 4: What is the anticipated date of the Phase II award?

Response 4: An exact timeframe is not known; approximately 30- 45 calendar days after the receipt of Phase II proposals.

Question 5: Is a bid guarantee required to be submitted in the Phase I proposal?

Response 5: No, the bid guarantee is to be submitted in Phase II.

Question 6: Are we required to submit the SF 1442 with our Phase I proposal submission?

Response 6: Yes

0. If so, which Volume are we to include these in?

Response 6a: Volume I. Revisions to instructions are noted below in red.

A4. Phase I Submission Requirements 2 a. is hereby amended to read:

“a. Volume 1 shall be the technical management proposal (maximum 30 pages) and include the SF 1442 and amendments if any; . . .”

0. If we are to include these in a Volume, will the pages count against the page limitations for that Volume?

Response 6b: No, see revisions to the Proposal Page Limitations below:

The Phase 1 Technical Proposal Page Limitations are amended as follows:

Volume I

**NOTE: Cover pages, index pages, SF 1442, CPARS evaluations, and PPQ’s do not count towards page limitations. The Government will not review any information that exceeds the page limitation, including attachments, enclosures, charts, etc. For instance, if the total page limitation is 10 pages, the Government will only review 10 pages. Information submitted on the 11th page and beyond will not be reviewed.

Question 7: Are we required to submit Representations and Certifications with our Phase I proposal submission?

Response 7: No, see B.1 (8), page 11 of 65.

0. If so, which Volume are we to include these in?

Response 7a: NA

0. If we are to include these in a Volume, will the pages count against the page limitations for that Volume?

Response 7b: NA

Questions 8: Is there a specific PPQ form to be used for contracts in which no CPAR exists? I did not find one included in the solicitation documents.

Response 8: Yes, see Amendment A00002 for the proper form.

Question 9: For factor 2, technical qualifications, responses are to be limited to 15 pages total to list 5 relevant projects. That comes to 3 pages per project. A “Past Projects” form was also included with the solicitation (there is no reference to this form in the Instructions for Proposal Submission) with instructions to include 1 form for each project. This form is 1 page long and appears to address everything requested for factor 2, technical qualifications. Is the contractor to submit just 5 “Past Projects” forms for factor 2, technical qualifications, or is the government wanting additional pages about each project along with the “Past Projects” forms?

Response 9: The Past Projects form is required for each of the five past projects being submitted under Factor 2. See C.2 Phase I Individual Evaluation, Factor 2: Technical Qualifications on page 14 of 65 for reference to the Past Project work sheet. The Offeror may provide additional information to demonstrate their strength for Factor 2 as they see relevant.
