1. Responses to PPI:

Question No. 1: On Page 67 of the solicitation it reads:

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 three (3) projects but no more than five (5) projects of similar scope and complexity. All projects submitted for consideration must be at least 75% construction progress complete or completed within 7 years preceding the date proposals are due.

For the purposes of this solicitation, relevant projects would be similar construction of a Healthcare Facility in size, scope and complexity to the instant requirement.

Construction should include mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems as well as medical equipment and furniture installation.

Would the Indian Health Service accept other Federal construction renovation projections of similar size and scope, other than medical facilities as similar past performance examples? E-Corp has completed many federal renovation projects for the US Airforce, FAA, and GSA that are of similar values and scope. Can these other federal projects also been seen as acceptable past performance?

Answer: Project experience is under Factor 1 and past performance is under Factor 2. The definition of relevancy is provided and states, “…relevant projects would be similar construction of a Healthcare Facility in size, scope and complexity to the instant requirement…”. While offerors are allowed to submit any projects that they think meet these requirements, the evaluation criteria in Section M states that “to achieve an Acceptable rating, at least three (3) relevant projects but no more than five (5) projects submitted must be at least 75% complete within the preceding seven (7) years from the date of proposals and must be determined to be relevant in similar size, scope and complexity to the requirements described in this solicitation.”

2. RFP Section L.12 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS, section (d)(2)

FACTOR 2: Past Performance Submission Requirements is replaced with the following:

FACTOR 2: Past Performance Submission Requirements: In accordance with FAR 42.1503(e), past performance will be evaluated using the CPARS database. If no relevant past performance history is available for your DUNS number, you may choose to utilize the attached Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) Form PPQ-0 (Attachment J07) which will be used for evaluation. Projects submitted under Factor 1 should also include consideration under this Factor by either a PPQ submission or information obtained in CPARS. The Government will only evaluate up to five (5) Customer Satisfaction Surveys/ Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) combined for the prime contractor.

Government databases will be checked and previous customers and/or evaluators may be

75H70122R00005, Amendment A0001 contacted as references or verification of performance. All performance ratings shall be considered for contracts ongoing or completed within the past 7 years from the date proposals are due. The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance information on proposals submitted in response to this solicitation from any available source.

All projects submitted on a Customer Satisfaction Survey/Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) must be at least 75% construction progress complete or completed within 7 years preceding the date proposals are due. The PPQ included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Specialized Experience if that project is not in the CPARS database. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal, but are not required and can be submitted by the owner. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Matthew.Phelps@ihs.gov, via email prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.

This does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. While the Government may elect to consider data from any and all other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

All other terms, conditions, and requirements remain unchanged.
