FA3016-19-R-A012 – Convert Bldg 62 back to Aircraft MX Hangar Post Site-Visit Q&A

1. Regarding standard form 1442; please clarify that the mandatory (130) calendar days include the design and construction phase. At the site visit on Feb. 28th, we were told multiple times that the period of performance was a Mandatory 130 days. Below is the breakdown for the design schedule. It leaves 22 calendar days for the construction period.

Total: 108 Calendar days for design, that leaves 22 calendar days for construction. Please confirm.

The contruction will begin upon approval of the 65% Design, allowing more days for construction.

2. After the designated 108 calendar days for the design phase. The remaining 22 calendar days isn’t sufficient time to prepare/submit and review submittals, repair hangar doors as referenced, LBP remediation and obtain all necessary permits and conduct field verification surveys prior to the construction.

· Please clarify what scope of work will need to be completed during the remaining 22 calendars of the performance period. See Question one

3. Please clarify that a construction schedule must be submitted with the proposal in lieu of Section 602 item (E) which indicates that a construction schedule is due before the start of work.

Per Section L, of the solicitation, “Part II – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL, Sub-factor #2, Proposed Schedule: The Offeror shall provide a prosed detailed schedule which measures monthly progress and project completion.”

And Per Item 6.2 (E) of the Statement of Work : “Construction schedule: Due before start of work.’

Both of these are correct. You must submit a proposed schedule with your proposal. Upon award and actual schedule is required.

8. Is the demolished equipment property of the contractor or does it need to be returned to the gov’t?

All remaining equipment/debris in the outside shed will become Property of the contractor.

9. During the site visit we were advised that the existing ceiling within the southern portion of the hangar was to remain. The SOW interior building demolition (b) specifies all ceiling finishes on the south side of the hangar 62 to be demolished. Please clarify.

The low ceilings need to be demolished to match the higher ceiling at 22 plus feet from finished floor.

10. If the existing ceiling finishes in the high bay area on the south side of hangar 62 are to be removed. Please confirm that the existing fire suppression system suspended directly below the ceiling needs to be dismantled and reinstalled during the build back phase.

The existing ceiling at 22 plus feet above finish floor will remain. The Fire Suppression suspended directly below will need an operational check to insure they Operate correctly.

11. The preliminary concept drawings show 2 Phases, Phase I & Phase II. After reading through the statement of work again, it looks like the proposal we are submitting is for Phase I ONLY. We need to confirm this.

This project is for Phase 1 only. (see revised concept drawing attached to revised SOW)

12. The preliminary concept drawings have a note on the 2nd Floor plan that says 'Phase I - Renovate existing interior finishes' but the scope of work does not have information on renovation work for the 2nd floor. We need to clarify that discrepancy and ensure this contract does not include any new walls and/or finishes on second floor.
