About this file

This document is a set of questions and answers related to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Architect and Engineering (A/E) Construction Management/Inspection Support Services for several Western U.S. states. The key details are:

The RFQ is seeking qualifications to award up to five (5) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, with three (3) contracts reserved for small businesses. The required services include providing Consultant Project Engineers (CPE), Consultant Inspectors (CI), a Consultant Management Firm Project Executive (CMEx), and Training/Hiring Personnel. Respondents must submit 3-5 resumes for the CPE and CI positions, and 1 resume each for the CMEx and Training/Hiring Personnel. For ongoing multi-season projects, only the completed seasons that meet the minimum requirements can be included. The RFQ also provides clarification on the interpretation of "rural" project locations. The Federal Highway Administration is the issuing agency for this RFQ.

DATE QUESTION ANSWER

6/19/2024

Under Evaluation Factor 1 - Professional Qualifications, the directions state: "Submit a minimum of three (3) and maximum of five (5) resumes for key personnel A and B listed above and one (1) resume for key personnel C and D (if applicable)." I interpret this to mean we must submit 3-5 resumes for the CPE position, 3-5 resumes for the CI position, 1 resume for the CMEx, and 1 resume for the Training/Hiring Personnel (if applicable). Please confirm this is correct (as opposed to 3-5 resumes total between the CPE and CI positions).

Correct, please submit three to five resumes for the Consultant Project Engineer (CPE) position, three to five resumes for the Consultant Inspector (CI) position, one resume for the Consultant Management Firm Project Executive (CMEx) position, and one resume for the Training/Hiring Personnel position (if applicable).

This question also regards Evaluation Factor 1 - Professional Qualifications. In the Draft SOW, "Project Office Clerk" and "Project Office Assistant" are listed as positions that may need to be filled under this contract.

These two positions do not fall under C.6 Additional Services like Contract Dispute Specialist, Scheduling Specialist, etc., which all include language to the effect of: "Because this position falls under Additional Services, the CMF is not required to have someone who meets these qualifications at the time of the execution of the IDIQ.". Should we include Section E resumes for these individuals?

Please refer to the Request for Qualifications Evaluation Factors and Standard Form 330 for information on what resumes to submit for this Request for Qualifications.

The draft SOW is only for additional context for the work that will be performed in the future.

I am having trouble finding a good source of information for what the US Census Bureau considers rural; I am getting a lot of information about counties/census tracts that are "mostly urban," "mostly rural," etc. A project might be located within a large census area (like Missoula County) that has an urban area within it, but the project itself it far outside the urban area (though still within that county).

The specific project location will be used to determine whether the project meets the criteria related to rural locations.

For Minimum Requirement A (Section E's), can you please confirm if there are a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) resumes for key personnel A, and an additional minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five

(5) resumes for key personnel B?

Correct, please submit three to five resumes for the Consultant Project Engineer (CPE) position, three to five resumes for the Consultant Inspector (CI) position, one resume for the Consultant Management Firm Project Executive (CMEx) position, and one resume for the Training/Hiring Personnel position (if applicable).

On multi-season projects that are still in progress, can we separate seasons if season one meets the minimum requirements in sections i and ii of the RFQ?

This would not be considered a completed project.

For Section F requirements, instead of 100% completed by the submission of the minimum qualifications of this RFQ, can it be amended to read - "all relevant experience identified shall have met the minimum requirements i and ii below between May 1st, 2018 and submission of the minimum qualifications of this RFQ."

This would allow current projects to be included in Section F that are still underway but still currently meet the current qualifications.

See amendment.
