QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1. 04-16-2018 4-17-2018 Due to the lack of design-build opportunities throughout the region, it is nearly impossible for a SDV company to reflect previous project experience as a complete design build team. Will the VA accept project experience from both the SDV general contractor and the designer even if they were not part of a single team in lieu of the above stated requirement (and not result in lower rating)?

Additionally, will the VA consider allowing the inclusion of non-design build projects (still meeting the $500k threshold) from a SDV company in the project experience factor due to the overall lack of opportunities made available?

If a prime contractor does not have Design-Build experience, they are permitted to provide up to three relevant non-Design-Build projects that are completed in clinical, hospital or other medical related use space similar in size and scope to this project. The designer for the team can also provide up to three relevant projects that fall under the requested criteria for the project. A maximum of total six (6) projects may be submitted for Factor 1 Experience. This same direction also applies to Factor 3 Past Performance.

2. 04-25-2018 04-27-2018 In reference to the above solicitation, can you clarify if we need to include a completed SF 1442 and signed Amendment Pages with the Proposal 1 package due on May 1st?

The SF 1442 is not to be submitted for Phase I.

However, in Phase I, please return the signed Amendments as part of the submission. These will not count as part of the page limitations.
