PRE-AWARD (RFI) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (QUESTIONS 1 THROUGH 9)

1. FAR 52.219-9, Small Business and Minority owned Business. RFP references this as both a requirement and a goal. RFP also requires 90% self-performed work by contractor making this difficult to achieve. Is MBE and or DBE participation a requirement?

RESPONSE: 90% self-performed is required. However GSA encourages small business participation and therefore requires large firms to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan that shows a “good faith” utilization of small business opportunities that can be had under this project.

2. Alternates #1 -#2 Schedule acceleration. Both alternates for reduced durations are unachievable. In lieu or specified alternates is it acceptable to submit both schedule and associated cost for contractor’s best case scenario?

RESPONSE: Alternate#1 - submit the best accelerated schedule for corresponding price.

Alternate#2 - if not possible to achieve than state so in your proposal and do not price.

The Formula for Total Evalutated Price shall be changed to read:

BASE Total Price + OPTIONS Total Price + ALTERNATE#5 Total Price = TOTAL BID

(Note: Alternates #1, #2, #3, and #4 will be priced separately and only be considered for inclusion into this project if they are found to be at the Government’s best value and interest.)

3. Maintenance. Confirm maintenance pricing should reflect a resident mechanic.

RESPONSE: Yes - maintenance pricing should reflect the cost of all resident mechanics needed to fully perform all maintenance requirements under this project.

4. Photographs. Please post all photos form the walk through. Access photographs etc.

RESPONSE: Please see RFP Amendment #0002 issued 1 December 2017. No additional photos are planned to be added at this time.
