Amendment 00002

The following questions/ RFIs were received in response to the solicitation:

Question 1

1. STP 5.00 Please indicate location of borrow pit.

Answer

See image attached to this amendment.

Question 2

2. STP 6.00 Please provide location of water for dirt processing.

Question 3

3. Please indicate predesignated access road locations.

Question 4

4. Will animal fencing be required for the open trenches?

Yes, open trenches will require fencing and barricades if left open overnight.

Question 5

5. Will a traffic plan be required for the south tie‐in location near highway 70?

Yes, contractor shall prepare and submit a traffic control plan as referenced in TP‐105 and TO‐1100.

Question 6

1. The bottom of Attachment 4, Financial Institution Reference Sheet, states that the form needs to be emailed to Mr. Matt Sanders; however, page 70 of the solicitation requires us to submit this form with our proposal. Please confirm that Attachment 4, Financial Institution Reference Sheet should be submitted in Volume 1: Price Proposal.

Form shall be submitted with the price proposal. See revised Section J, Attachment 4.

Amendment 00002

Question 7

1. Per page 71 of Solicitation 75H70120R00011, paragraph L.4.2.2 Factor 2: Past Performance states that, "In accordance with FAR 42.1503(e), past performance will be evaluated using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). If no relevant past performance history is available for your DUNS number, you may choose to utilize the attached Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Section J, Attachment 6) which will be used for evaluation." A review of our past performance utilizing CPARS will yield numerous reviews from clients that were extremely satisfied with our performance;

however, these projects are not necessarily the MOST RELEVANT when contemplating our ability to successfully perform on the tasks of this contract. Will the government accept a list of our five MOST RELEVANT contracts along with a copy of the CPARS evaluation and/or a PPQ, as applicable, in response to L.4.2.2 ‐ Factor 2: Past Performance?

Answer

Offerors may submit no more than 5 PPQs for projects that your firm believes are most relevant.

However, as stated in solicitation provision M.4.2.2, this does not preclude the government from obtaining information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through CPARS using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of Contractors who are part of a partnership or joint venture identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic

Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

Question 8

2. Due to COVID‐19, it can be burdensome for our clients to complete a past performance questionnaire (PPQ). Will the government allow submission of a previously completed PPQ in response to L.4.2.2 in lieu of a new PPQ?

Yes.

Question 9

3. Page 70 of Solicitation 75H70120R00011 requires us to submit a Bid Guarantee for the Seed Project per FAR 52.228‐1, Bid Guarantee. Since this is an electronic submission, please confirm that a scanned copy of the executed bid bond is acceptable.

SERVICES AND PRICE/COST

B.1 SERVICES

The award of Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) is anticipated as a result of this solicitation for the performance of Sanitation Facilities Construction (SFC) services for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)/ Indian Health Service (IHS). Work will primarily be performed at various facilities in the IHS geographic region of Albuquerque, but may occasionally be performed at other locations throughout the United States. The contract will include a base period, with up to four (4) option years.

Work may occasionally be performed at other locations nationwide. The place of performance will be designated on each Task Order. A list of all IHS Healthcare Facilities can be located at this website:

https://www.ihs.gov/locations/

A MATOC is a contract awarded from a single solicitation, and may result in award to multiple contractors.

This procurement consists of one solicitation with the intent to provide a pool between three and five contractors. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to award more or less than the above stated amount if it is in the Government’s best interest. After award of each basic contract, the only work authorized under this contract is that which is ordered by the Government through issuance of a Task Order.

B.2 SEED PROJECT

Attached to this solicitation is a Seed Project Scope of Work (SOW). It is intended that the Seed Project becomes the first task order issued under this MATOC. The Seed Project SOW contains all the information necessary to complete a price proposal for the work stipulated.

The Offeror shall review the documentation and provide a price proposal addressing all the requirements in the SOW for the Seed Project with the level of detail specified in this section. The Seed Project is a valid IHS requirement and the Government intends to award the Seed Project concurrent with the award of all MATOCs as part of the award process. The price for the proposed Seed Project shall be utilized for purposes of price analysis for evaluation and award of the MATOCs.

See Section J, Attachments for more detailed information about the seed project RFP.

B.3 PERIOD OF SERVICE

Each contract will include a base period of one year from the date of award, and four one-year option periods (with a possible one to six-month extension), for a total contract performance period not-to-exceed five years and six months.

The Seed Project Task Order has a period of performance of 120 180 calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed (NTP).

B.4. MINIMUM GUARANTEE

The Government makes no representation as to the number of Task Orders or actual amount of work to be ordered; however, during the term of the contract, a minimum of $1,000 is guaranteed for each awardee.

The contractor that represents the best value will be awarded the first Task Order (i.e. seed project), and the minimum guarantee for that contractor will be satisfied, unless award of the seed project is not feasible or in the best interest of the Government. Otherwise, the Government intends to satisfy the minimum guarantee by negotiating a Task Order directly with each contractor if necessary.

All eligible MATOC contractors will be provided a fair opportunity to compete for each project offered under this contract unless one of exceptions listed at FAR 16.505(b)(2) apply.

SECTION F

DELIVERIES AND PERFORMANCE

F.1 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

a. The contractor will be evaluated on his overall general work, for compliance with the specifications and drawings, quality of work performed, compliance with schedule, submission of submittals and all matters associated with the project.

b. If a deficiency is noted the contractor will be advised by the COR and the Contracting Officer and what corrective action the contractor needs to take.

c. Contractors are advised that continuous satisfactory performance on all phases of the task orders is required. Failure to do so could result in the contract being terminated or not utilized.

F.2 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

Unless specified otherwise in a task order, this paragraph specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the contractor.

c. Weather delays will be based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The contractor’s progress schedule must reflect consideration of these anticipated adverse weather delays in all-weather dependent activities.

d. Upon acknowledgment of the notice to proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the contractor will record on the Contractor’s Daily Report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delays must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the contractor’s scheduled workday.

e. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in accordance with the criteria previously described above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a bilateral modification.

F.3 CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

FAR 52.211-10 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION AND COMPLETION OF WORK (APR

1984)

The Contractor shall be required to:

(a) Commence work under this contract within 10 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed,
