Questions Answer

RGA understands that the contractor will “inventory and analyze all real property assets” at the 3 extant anchorages (akin to Section 7 of an NRHP nomination). As the contractor will be responsible for also studying all 8 anchorages, to what extent will we be expected to document the (not extant) buildings of the five (5) former anchorages? A2

Historical documentation would be expected to put them into the context of what was and what is today.

For the historic context of each of the three (3) existing anchorages, it is our understanding that “real property” does not typically include vessels/boats. In the context of the RFP, do “structures and property” include military vessels at each anchorage, or only land-based real property buildings and structures? Vessels were not included. Only structures and property.

With respect to deliverables, we recognize citation information should be attached to all historic images and field work photographs in its metadata. However, the RFP also requests that the contractor add this type of metadata to each document “whether in the final report or used for reference”. The latter task represents a potentially large archival project (there could be hundreds of document scans from the several repositories that contribute to the Historic Context Study). Was this the intention of the request? Will a more simplified approach suffice (typically, we include repository abbreviations in document file names). Scanned and photographed images require citations if utilized in the final report.

In what format should the cost proposal be submitted? As a lump sum? in a spreadsheet showing detailed costs including rates, labor hours, and ODCs? If Lump sum, should the cost be entered in the Unit Price column of Solicitation page 2 or within the technical proposal response?

Please submit pricing in a spreadsheet showing detailed costs including rates, labor hours, and ODC.
