Do you have a proposed scope of work this

MATOC would cover and perhaps proposed project list with size/scope?

We are still researching the proposed scope of work, however, we plan on sharing a proposed project list with range of magnitude (pricing) as well as a general type of work (road, paving, bridge) during the presentation on the virtual contractor call. I also anticipate that we will post the list when we post the call agenda at the end of next week.

Are we required to use the provided "J.3 Past

Performance Form"? May we submit previously completed Past Performance Questionnaires

(PPQs) for relevant projects instead?

Per page L-6 of the RFP, "FACTOR 3

CRITERIA: For projects submitted for the

Factor 1 criteria, if there is no past performance information available in

CPARS, submit copies of any completed past performance evaluations made available from the project owner. For any project submitted for the Factor 1 criteria where past performance information is not available in CPARS and the project owner does not have an equivalent past performance evaluation, Offerors should submit J.3 Past

Performance Form 2, which must be filled out by the project owner."

The front page of the RFP states that Electronic proposals will be accepted. However, page A-1 says that email proposals are not authorized for this solicitation, and page L-7 indicates hard copies of proposals are to be mailed. Please clarify if proposals may be emailed, or if a hard copy must be submitted. If hard copy is required, will FedEx also be acceptable, or must it be sent via US Mail?

A hardcopy of the proposal must be received by in-person delivery or mail/package delivery service. See page A-

1, section: "Facsimile and email proposals, modifications, and withdrawals"

I read in the solicitation that the intent is to award to at least three small businesses.

But I see in the past performance requirements there is a $1.5 Million minimum contract value.

Does that apply to small businesses who may be interested in applying?

The $1.5 million minimum contract value is a minimum project requirement for Factor

1: Proposed Prime Contractor Recent and

Relevant Experience, regardless of business size, per SECTION M- EVALUATION

FACTORS FOR AWARD list on page M-1 of the RFP.

For the sample bid for MT NP GLAC HQ(3) we do not see a temporary traffic control supervisor item. It has been our experience that FHA projects usually have this item. Are we to assume traffic control supervisor is incidental to other traffic control items or will a bid item be added?

Please bid according to solicitation documents.”

Will the sample project be awarded? Will the pricing submitted with the offer to the RFP be used when the sample project is awarded?

The sample project will not be awarded at this time. When the sample project is at

100% design, it will be solicited separately and the bid pricing will be separate from the pricing being solicited for the sample project, which is at approximately 75% design.
