#QuestionSection TitlePage #Government Response
1The document states that: “Offerors are required to submit a comprehensive and complete technical quotation that demonstrates their understanding and ability to perform the tasks described in at least one of the attached Statements of Work.” Should our quotation include all submission requirements for each Scope of Work (CLIN) in which we are submitting for, or does each Scope of Work (CLIN) require a separate quotation submittal?Document Name: 89603019Q0097 - E.1 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2015) - E.1.2 E.1.2 Addendum - Submission of Quotations - Volume 1: Technical Quotation28-29The Offeror's one quote should include submission for all Scope of Work(s) (CLINs) that they are interested in.

3The document states that: “The Offeror’s corporate experience will be evaluated on organizational capability, resources, and experience related to providing professional services similar to the requirements in the Statement of work. Offerors should provide three (3) examples of services similar to the requirements in the Statement of Work within the last thirty-six (36) months.” If a proposer submits a quotation for 2 separate labor categories, do we submit 3 examples per category, or 3 examples total?Document Name: 89603019Q0097 - E.2 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) – ADDENDUM Corporate Experience313 examples per category
4We would like to respond to this opportunity for the items D.4 and D.5. I would like to know if it is possible to respond only to those items or if one would need to comply with the requirements for all the items.Offerors can respond to one or more.
5There is a key personnel clause listed for each SOW while the hours listed are only 500 hours. How does the government expect a small business to retain a key personnel resource when only 500 hours a year are dedicated to each SOW?The level of effort for each CLIN only call for an estimated 500 hours per year.
6What are PPIRS and SEWP Program Performance defined?Volume 1, Section III29Under Volume 1, Part III - Past Performance (pg 31): PPIRS stands for Past Performance Information Retrieval System and is a web-enabled, enterprise application that provides timely and pertinent contractor past performance information to the Department of Defense and Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions. NASA's Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) Program Performance provides performance information for their IT contractors. (The latter will not apply to this RFQ.)
7Where should references be included in the proposal?Volume 1, Section III29References can be listed in a section of the Offeror's Volume 1 submission.
8Should information required in this section be in the body of the Volume 1 of proposal or as a separate document?E.3 52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018) (l) Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)43This information can be included in an Offeror's cover page of their quote and/or a copy of their SAM record can be included with their submission.

10Was there supposed to be a Section 7.2?Scope and Qualifications for CLIN X0003 Attachment 3 (D.4)3No. This was mistakenly omitted.
11Is there a requirement to complete an OCI Questionnaire? If so, where should it be included in the proposal?N/AN/AYes, there is a requirement to complete an OCI. Attachment D.7 provides a blank OCI for Offerors to complete and submit with their offers.
12Is this considered a new requirement? or are there any incumbent contractor currently fulfilling these services? If so, would it be possible to get the contractor name, contract number, and value?This is considered a follow-on requirement using a different contract type. The incumbents name(s) will be provided to the awardee. The current contract(s) value(s) or government estimate information will not be provided.
13We have strong capabilities in LNG, and in the contrary, Dam related scope is out of our area of expertise. Can we bid only for D4 and D5 scope?Yes, you can respond to one or more as they are in line with your capabilities.
14As it relates to the B.1 Price/Cost Schedule table – Are the quantities fixed? (e.g. man-hours and travel); Is the expectation that 1500 hours will be completely consumed per year? (important because of personnel utilization); How many projects are expected to be executed per yearNo, the quantities are not fixed. There is an estimation of 500 hours per year (each CLIN is for a 3-year Period of Performance).
15There are specific areas where (contractor) may leverage the expertise of third parties. Should (contractor) include these hours/rates in the B.1 Price section somehow (as part of (contractor's) own rates, perhaps)? Or list them separately?The Government is unable to advise a contractor how to do their pricing.
16Conflict of interest – (Contractor) is a full service contractor: Are we able to bid on LNG projects where we have strong interest? We assume the “OCI Questionnaire1” is required to be filled on a project/project basis? Does commencement of work with FERC on a particular project limit our possibilities of performing future scope with the particular client/project?Yes, contractor's can bid on the project(s) that is in line with their capabilities. Yes, a separate OCI Questionnaire should be filled out per project. No, working on one particular project does not limit possibilities of future opportunities.
17Personnel Qualifications- (contractor) leverages some expertise from various international offices, including from our corporate headquarters in (place). Section 10 of D.5 states “…The structural engineering consultant shall be a United States citizen…”. Does this apply for structural only? Is there an exception (should we require one)?The requirement United States citizenship is required for any key personnel where stated. There are no exceptions.
