About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) solicitation, containing two key clarifications for potential offerors. The first Q&A addresses whether projects in Volume II (Factor 4: Past Performance) must match projects in Volume I (Factor 1: Experience), with the answer being no - though if past performance involves a partner/subcontractor, that entity must have been previously submitted in Volume I. The second Q&A clarifies small business subcontracting plan requirements, specifically confirming that offerors only need to submit Attachment J.3 for the subcontracting plan, and a separate Master Subcontracting Plan is not required, with the RFP language having been updated to reflect this guidance.

# Reference: Paragraph/Sentence Question Answer

L.6.2, Volume III: Factor 4: Past Performance, Page 65

Do the projects in Volume II Factor 4 Past Performance need to match the projects included in Volume I Factor 1 Experience?

No, the projects identified in Past Performance do not need to match the projects included in Factor 1 Experience.

However, if the past performance is for a partner or subcontractor, the Offeror must have submitted partner/subcontractor info for the at company in Volume I.

2 L.6.2, pages 65-66

For the Volume II small business subcontracting plan requirements (as described in Section L.6.2, page 65-66), we see that FHWA is requesting a Master Subcontracting Plan and the Attachment J.3 Subcontracting Plan. In accordance with FAR 52.219-9, we intend to provide — in Attachment J.3 — the estimated percentage goal and dollar amounts for each subcontract socioeconomic category, and answers for Questions 1.1 to 10. We do not intend to provide a separate Master Subcontracting Plan, since we do not have a firm-wide plan, and FAR 52.219-9 allows for individual plans instead. Can FHWA confirm that our intended approach to only submit Attachment J.3 complies with the requirements of FAR 52.219-9, and that a separate Master Subcontracting Plan is not required? If not, can FHWA clarify what else is needed to remain compliant?

A separate Master Subcontracting Plan is not required - Attachment J.3 is sufficient.

RFP language has been updated.
