SUMMARY OF CHANGES PAGE 2 OF 2

The solicitation is hereby amended (A0001) to address the following:

1. Respond to RFQ inquiries received in addressing the solicitation package. The inquiries received are presented and answered as follows:

INQUIRY 0001:

For the key personnel, specifically “NACE tank inspector”: Do you require a CIP Level 1, CIP Level 2, or CIP Level 3? Or would you accept a coatings/corrosion specialist who is also API 653 certified or are you looking simply for an API 653 Tank Inspector?

ANSWER:

NACE CIP Level 1 inspector. Please see revised Factor 1 language:

a. The offeror shall identify the roles of its key personnel by providing resumes for its proposed key personnel that include credentials, education, registrations, relevant experience, and the role to perform IHS’s requirements. Key personnel shall include licensed professional engineers (e.g., civil/environmental, electrical and geotechnical), professional surveyor, and NACE CIP Level 1 tank inspector.

INQUIRY 0002:

We understand the requirement to clearly indicate the services that, as Prime Contractor, we would self-perform vs. subcontract, but can the Government clarify if the Prime Contractor will be required to “self-perform” 50% of more of the work associated with each Task Order as it relates to the overall requirements with this IDIQ contract?

RESPONSE PROVIDED:

In accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2019-O0003), self-performance is no longer referred to as the prime contractor. Instead, the deviation states that

“Services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the

Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.” A “”similarly situated entity” means a first-tier subcontractor, including an independent contractor, that has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award and that is considered small for the NAICS code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract the subcontractor will perform. An example of a similarly situated entity is a first-tier subcontractor that is a HUBZone small business concern for a HUBZone set-aside or sole source award under the HUBZone Program.” Each individual task order will be required to submit Limitations on

Subcontracting form, which will be an attachment sent to the most highly qualified A-E firms selected chosen to receive to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and each task order will be monitored to be in compliance with this clause.

Revised sections in the attached solicitation hereby replace any previous version(s). Changes are generally identified, for convenience, either by strikeout for deletions, and underlining of text for additions or a single dark line in the margin. All portions of the revised sections shall apply whether or not changes have been indicated.

The PROPOSAL DUE DATE remains unchanged: Offers are due by 2:00 pm (CST) on 18 December

2019, unless changed by an amendment to this solicitation. NOTICE TO OFFERORS: Offerors must acknowledge receipt of any and all amendments by number and date on their cover letter in their offer or by submitted a signed copy of the SF30. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
