Re: Solicitation page 13, Factor 1 Relevant Experience Submission

Requirements:

Solicitation states, “Limit the submittal for each fire alarm, fire suppression and electrical project example to two (2) pages each using the Project Experience Form attached (Exhibit 2). **NOTE: Any pages in excess of the one (1) page per project example limit (excluding back page instructions) will not be considered for evaluation purposes.”

Question: this statement states we are allow two pages, then states we are only allowed one page per project.

The Exhibit 2 provided does not have a back page of instructions.

Is offeror allowed two pages per project or only one page per project?

7/28/2021

Solicitation Para II.D. Factor 1, 2) a. will be changed as below.

Limit the submittal for each fire alarm, fire suppression and electrical project example to One (1) page each using the Project Experience

Form attached (Exhibit 2). **NOTE: Any pages in excess of the one (1) page per project example limit will not be considered for evaluation purposes.

Re: Solicitation page 11, Factor 1 Relevant Experience

Question: For evaluation purposes, can the Offeror use relevant projects from key subcontractors to demonstrate “Proposed Builder” experience?

7/28/2021

Yes, the prime contractor can use their subcontractors' relevant proejct experience.

Factor 1 will be amended to require Name of Firm that performed the proejct (Prime / Proposed Subcontractor)

However, there is a subcontracting limitation for prime contractor which require performing at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees. as stated in the

Solicitaiton Para II.E. (2).

Re: Solicitation, Proposal Submission Requirements: Factor 1-Relevant

Experience and Factor 4-Past Performance

Factor 1 (page 11) states only four projects may be submitted (2 from the

Proposed Builder and 2 from the Designer).

It states, “ any additional projects submitted over the limit specified herein shall not be considered during evaluation.”

Factor 4 (page 19) state, “No more than eight (8) DB Reference

Questionnaires (Exhibit 4) total for the Design/Build Team shall be submitted (i.e. both the Builder and the Designer together). DB

Reference Questionnaires shall be submitted for all projects identified in

FACTOR 1 for which a Relevant Experience form (Exhibit 2) was submitted. Additional surveys will not be considered.”

Question: I am confused by this as only 4 projects may be submitted in

Factor 1, but up to 8 Questionnaires may be submitted in Factor 4. Does this mean we can submit 2 questionnaires for each project, using two different customer POCs? Or is this an error?

7/28/2021

The statement "No more than eight (8) DB Reference Questionnaires

(Exhibit 4) total for the Design/Build Team shall be submitted (i.e. both the Builder and the Designer together)." in the Solicitation Factor 4, Submittal Requirement has been deleted.

Offeror shall submit DB questionnaire for all projects in Factor 1.

Re: Factor 4- Past Performance.

On page 19, the instructions for submitting questionnaires seems conflicting.

First, it states, “The Offeror shall submit the partially completed DB

Reference Questionnaire (Exhibit 4) to the Project’s Owner for completion and submission either back to the Offeror or directly to the

GSA. Completed forms shall be signed and dated by the reference completing them and shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer identified on this Solicitation as part of the technical proposal or directly by the customer.”

Again, it states, “To be considered, the surveys must be completed by the customers (signed and dated) and emailed directly by the customer to the Contracting Officer identified at I.C or with the technical proposal, for receipt no later than the time and date proposals are due.”

Then it states, “Surveys submitted directly by Offerors…may not be considered.”

Question: Please confirm that offerors may submit completed questionnaires directly to the Contracting Officer as part of the Technical

Proposal.

7/28/2021

Yes. All completed DB Reference Questionnaire (Exhibit 4) shall be completed by their customers and submitted by an offeror as part of their technical proposal.
