SUMMARY OF CHANGES

A. GOVERNMENT RESPONSES TO PRE-PROPOSAL INQUIRIES (PPI)

AMENDMENT 001

001 We request a Bid Date (PROPOSAL) extension of 8 weeks from the time this PPI is answered.

In this competitive construction market, it is unreasonable to limit proposers to 4 weeks to ask PPIs and 6 weeks to submit a responsive and responsible bid on a $50 million Design-Build project, that includes over 2,500 pages of specifications. The USCG may already understand design teams need time to develop preliminary custom designs before Contractors can begin to plan their means and methods, find and coordinate with compliant subcontractors and suppliers, prepare a schedule, and estimate this project.

In addition, under this MACC contract, this pursuit overlaps in the region with the $190 million USCG Base Seattle task order project pursuit.

Contractors have limited estimating bandwidth to pursue multiple large-value projects at the same time. Time is of the essence to reply to this PPI for contractors to finalize a decision of whether to proceed working on this proposal.

RESPONSE The USCG’s response extends the following due dates by 1 (one) week:

AMEND 001 Pre-Proposal Inquiries (PPIs) are due 04-11-2025.

Proposals are due 04-25-2025.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

NMACC Contract Holders are reminded to acknowledge receipt of this amendment when submitting their Proposal.
