SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The solicitation is hereby amended to address the following:

1. Respond to inquiries received in addressing the solicitation package. The questions and answers are being consolidated and are presented and answered (See Attachment A1-1).

2. Revise Section L.11, Paragraph (d) Volume I (Technical Proposal) as follows:

Volume I (Technical Proposal)

1. FACTOR 1: Specialized Experience Submission Requirements: Offerors are required to submit a comprehensive and complete technical proposal that demonstrates their ability to perform the work described in this solicitation and demonstrate a minimum of 7 years’ experience doing work of similar scope and complexity.

Offerors shall exhibit relevant past experience by reporting written narratives for a minimum of three (3) but no more than five (5) relevant renovation/expansion construction projects between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 in project cost. At least one (1) project shall demonstrate the relevant construction experience in medical office/clinic/hospital renovation/expansion. The submitted narratives shall explain the work involved in sufficient detail for the Government to evaluate the depth and breadth of experience represented in that project, along with an assessment of the technical capabilities utilized to accomplish the work. All projects submitted for consideration must be at least 75% construction progress complete or completed within 7 years preceding the date proposals are due.

Experience will be evaluated based on the Offeror’s demonstration of similar, relevant, and recent projects within the broad scope of this solicitation for services as described in this solicitation.

a) The projects must be similar in size, scope and complexity of that described in this solicitation to be considered relevant. For the purposes of this factor, “Relevant” is defined as experience with managing renovation/expansion projects that are similar to those as described in the Scope of Work (See Section C of this solicitation). “Recent” is defined as being completed within the past seven (7) years preceding the date proposals are due.

b) Attachment J07, Company Specialized Experience Form is provided as a reference for information that shall be included with each project. This form is not required, but each project shall include at least all information on this form (e.g., firm name, project name, location of project, type of project, owner, scope, firm’s role, cost, subcontracts, dates, reference contact information, etc.).

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant experience should be submitted by that JV entity. If the JV does not have shared experience, projects shall be submitted for each JV partner relevant to their overall JV partnership (reference Cover Letter requirements for JV). Offerors who fail to submit experience for all JV partners may be rated less favorably. The JV agreement shall be included in this section.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience or past performance information from any entity that does not match the name, CAGE code, and/ or DUNS of the Offeror exactly as stated on the SF 1442 (e.g. affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, sister companies, etc.) the proposal shall clearly demonstrate how that entity will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract and specifically address which resources are being committed to the contract. Failure to comply with this requirement or failure to adequately demonstrate meaningful involvement and commitment of resources on behalf of that entity may result in that experience and past performance information to be considered not relevant and may result in lower ratings. This explanation shall be provided in paragraph (h) of B01 Attachment J07, Company Specialized Experience Form, as applicable for each project.

SF30 CONTINUATION OF BLOCK NARRATIVE

Please note the Small Business Administration (SBA) definition of Joint Venture that must be met in order to submit as a JV entity: “A joint venture is formed for the sole purpose of pooling resources of separate businesses to successfully and cost-effectively support the mission of a government agency. It is considered a new legal entity that requires approval by the Small Business Administration (SBA), a separate federal identification number, and a new SAM user account.” (https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-guide/types-contracts#section-header-12).

Indian Preference: Preference may be given to firms that are Indian Economic Enterprises or propose Indian Economic Enterprises as subcontractors. Indian Economic Enterprises are defined as any business activity owned by one or more Indians or Indian Tribes that is established for the purpose of profit, provided that

(1) the combined Indian or Indian Tribe ownership must constitute not less than 51 percent of the enterprise; (2) the Indians or Indian Tribes must, together, receive at least a majority of the earnings from the contract; and (3) the management and daily business operations of an enterprise must be controlled by one or more individuals who are Indians. To ensure actual control over the enterprise, the individual(s) must possess requisite management or technical capabilities directly related to the primary industry in which the enterprise conducts business. These conditions must exist: (a) at the time an offer is made in response to a written solicitation; (b) at the time of contract award; and (c) during the full term of the contract.

This amendment extends the proposal due date/time from, Monday, July 26, 2021, 2:00 pm CT to Thursday, July 29, 2021, 2:00pm CDT. Inquiries are to be sent by email to Jenny.Scroggins@ihs.gov and Shaukat.syed@ihs.gov and must be received no later than close of business on Thursday, July 15, 2021 to allow time for response.

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 submitting a signed copy of the SF30. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
