Does this mean the contractor has to be able to provide $15 million bond on a given task of the similar amount?

Answer: No - the Contractor does not have to be able to provide a $15 million dollar bond on a given task order. Individual task orders will be limited to projects between the micro-purchase threshold and

14. How is the Stafford Act associated with the process?

Answer: The Stafford Act applies to FEMA, not GSA. The Stafford Act does not apply to this procurement.

15. Similarly situated entities means that you can sub-contract to another HUBZone (in this case) and will not affect the subcontracting limitations.

Answer: This is set-aside to strictly Small Business, HUBZones (prime must be a HUBZone). No subcontracting plan is required.

16. Can you outline any special taxes or fees associated with the USVI?

Answer: The Contractor is responsible to look up and include all applicable taxes for Puerto Rico and the

United States Virgin Islands.

17. Will a site visit be available?

18. Question: Where to submit line item pricing as there are no line items to bid on?

Answer: We are requesting an all inclusive coefficient, as described on page 8-9 of 27, under II.C "Price

Proposal." We are using the RS Means methodology, and utilizing the RS Means book for all line items.

19. Please clarify the page limitation for Section II.D. Technical Proposal Factor 1: Experience on Similar

Projects narrative.

Answer: Page limitation has not been included in the solicitation. Your submission needs to address factor 1 in its entirety.

20. For “experience project submission requirements”, the first bulleted requirement states “project involved the repair and alterations of a comparably sized structure”. Please clarify the size of structure deemed acceptable and comparable in order for bidders to meet this requirement.

Answer: Please see answer to question 13 above.

21. For the bid bond, please clarify if an actual bid bond for $250,000 is required or if a letter from our surety firm indicating our capacity to provide the bond upon award is acceptable. If the bond is due at time of proposal, please indicate to whom it needs to be addressed.

Answer: Either one is acceptable. Please make Bid bond out to the General Services Administration.

A Line of credit from your bank or surety - ** This is not a requirement, but highly recommended to be submitted to assist the gov't in assessing your financial capabilities and move the process along.

22. Section II.A. Proposal Contents – states to include the coefficient into block 17 of SF1442, “Amounts”. Are offerors to include the coefficient stated as a percentage? If the coefficient is to remain stable / unchanged for the base year and option periods, please confirm that only one entry or number is required to be placed into block 17.

Answer: We are looking for a coefficient in decimal form, and only one (1) coefficient. This is for the base year and all option years. (example: 1.5 or 1.00).

23. Requirements for Joint Venture Offerors states, “(4) Representations and certifications, financial information, and past performance information must be submitted for each member of the joint venture”. Are offerors (both parties of a JV) required to submit both the Form SF527 and their financial statements, to include profit/loss and balance sheets? Please confirm the precise requirement for financial information required for submission.

Answer: If a Joint Venture (JV) is being created, each member of the JV must submit their own 527 along with all financial information.

Financial Information:

- Your latest, yearly certified financial statements and balance sheets are to be submitted.

- A Line of credit from your bank or surety. ** This is not a requirement, but highly recommended to be submitted to assist the gov't in assessing your financial capabilities and move the process along.**

24. Our firm has completed multiple IDIQs and previous projects renovating and rehabilitating occupied building spaces. These projects have involved all disciplines including but not limited to civil, structural, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, telecommunications, utilities, and hazmat abatement. However, it has been rare for an individual project to fall below the $250,000 price maximum stated in the submission requirements. I fear that our proposal will not be considered based on the potentially over-qualified status of our past performances.

Could you verify the level of stringency for the past performance requirements and the related price ranges?

Will projects over $250,000 be disqualified?

Answer: Projects over $250,000 will be disqualified.
