693C7324R000013/0001 avoid asking our customers to complete similar evaluations for the same projects.

Gov't Response - It is acceptable to have different formats showing past performance evaluations. The government understands some of your evaluations may be in the FHWA narrative format where most are in more commonly used federal formats requesting ratings. CPARS evaluations are highly recommended but any other documentation formats showing past performance will be considered.

Contractor Question - 12. The cells which request project costs and monetary values is sensitive information, and so I ask will these forms appear in public domain for other to access and read?

There is the consideration of competition knowing too much about our business models.

Gov't Response - The information you provide at this point on the progress will not be shared to the public. When and if an award is made then only the award documents would be public information. All evaluators will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before they are able to look and evaluate the documents you provide for this phase of the process.

The IDIQ contract solicitation will result in the award of 4 Multiple Award Task Order Contracts

(MATOC). The contracts will be for a Base, 4 option years and tentative 6 months with a ceiling for all the MATOCs combined for

$60,000.000.00. It is anticipated that multiple task orders will be procured via the MATOC IDIQ.
