1. Answers to Pre-proposal inquiries (PPI).

PPI 01

Reference to SECTION 01 14 00 “WORK RESTRICTIONS”, paragraph 1.3.5.2 Citizenship Requirements, Page 5- 6, it is stated that “…the design and general construction for this project shall be accomplished by U.S. companies using US citizens.” It is also mentioned that “Any use of non-U.S. citizens or foreign national personnel must be vetted through the Authorizing Official via U.S. Fleet Cyber Command Security.”

Based on the above, please confirm that the use of non-U.S citizens and foreign national personnel is acceptable given that the required approval is provided by the Authorizing Official via U.S. Fleet Cyber Command Security.

Answer: to comply with UFC 4-010-05, the answer is No. UFC 4-010-05 refers to ICS 705-1. Version 1.4 [Sept.

28, 2017 of the ICTech Specs for ICD / ICS 705 states: "5. Construction and design should be performed by U.S.

companies using U.S. citizens to reduce risk, but may be performed by U.S. companies using U.S. persons (an individual who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(20) or who is a protected individual as defined by Title 8 U.S.C. §1324b (a)(3))

Foreign National persons are not U.S. Citizens. Foreign National persons also do not fall within the definition of U.S. persons contained in the IC Tech Specs.

PPI 02

Reference to the RFP documents, Page 3 of 19, it is required to submit the proposal package no later than Monday 12 August 2019 at 11:00 A.M., Central European Summer Time (CEST).

Accordingly, you are kindly requested to extend the proposal submission due date by three (3) weeks from 12 August 2019 until 2 September 2019 due to the following reasons:

1. The nature and complexity of this task order.

2. The site visit being only 2 weeks before the proposal submission date.

3. The Eid Holiday celebrated in Bahrain and the entire region extends from 11 August until 15 August 2019.

This additional time will be used to obtain answers for the questions raised during the site visit as well as to get more accurate and economic proposals from suppliers/subcontractors, which will eventually result in more competitive proposals for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Answer: Answered by Contract Specialist and amendment 01.

PPI 03

Reference to Specification Section 01 50 00, page 2, paragraph 3.4.1, please confirm that a Government Field Office is required. If yes, please provide more details about the Trailer-Type Mobile Office in terms of area, number of personnel to occupy the office, types and quantities of furniture and any additional facilities/utilities required.

Reference to the RFP document, Technical Factors, Eligibility for Award, page 9 of 19, it is stated that “…portions of the SCIF construction to be performed by U.S. citizens with an adjudicated final SECRET security clearance.”

Furthermore, in SECTION 01 14 00 “WORK RESTRICTIONS”, paragraph 1.3.5.2 Citizenship Requirements, Page 5-6, it is also stated that “SECURE AREA finish work… shall be accomplished by SECRET-cleared, U.S.

personnel.”

Based on the above, please advise how the client intends for the competing contractors to perform classified work when none of the competitors is a cleared facility.

If you do not have a facility clearance, you cannot hire cleared U.S. labor.

Accordingly, we recommend that you either split the classified work out into a separate contract that you bid amongst classified firms or do the same for the contract in its entirety.

Answer: The General Contractor is eligible to bid on this project and use the subsidiary with the Facilities Clearance, as described in the question.

PPI 05

PPI 10

Spec SECTION 01 14 00, para1.3.5.2 B. states: SECURE AREA finish work (work that includes closing up wall structures; installing, floating, taping and sealing wallboards; installing trim, chair rail, molding, and floorboards;

painting; etc.) shall be accomplished by SECRET-cleared, U.S. personnel.

Is this the only work required by SECRET-cleared, U.S. personnel? Will our management staff have to also be SECRET-cleared, U.S. personnel?

Answer: No, All workers must be (fully adjudicated) Secret cleared and US personnel. Refer to CSP for further guidance.

PPI 11

It is our understanding that all of the work under this Task Order/contract will be performed under the:A. Phase 1 - Construction Phase as stated on page 18 of the CONSTRUCTION SECURITY PLAN.

Please clarify if this understanding is correct or if any of the work in this Task order will be performed in Phase 2 after BOD?

Answer: There is no Phase 2 work in this contract.

PPI 12

Please identify what construction materials in this contract are considered “Non-inspectable materials” as described in the Construction Security Plan Para. 4.04 MATERIAL PROCUREMENT AND TRANSPORTATION, Para B?

Presently we think all materials can fall into the Inspectable Materials category.

Answer: All Materials will be inspectable.

PPI 13

It is our understanding that under the U.S. government rules and regulations, only a U.S. company with a Cleared Facility in the USA are able to hire and maintain U.S. employees with a Security Clearance. If the MACC contractors does NOT have such as USA-based Cleared Facility, but can find U.S. citizens as construction workers that hold active security clearances, would they still be qualified to have these workers with security clearance work on the project?

Also can we use a subcontractor with Secured Workers to perform the Secured construction work?

And can the SECRET-cleared, U.S. personnel we’ve hire or from a sub work in the site at the same time as uncleared workers?

Answer: All workers MUST be (fully adjudicated) Secret cleared and citizens of the USA, and all companies MUST have a Facility Clearance (FCL) or have either a subcontractor or subsidiary with a FCL.

PPI 14

It is our best solution to utilize local subcontractors and inhouse workers/staff for construction services. These will be personnel already legally residing in Bahrain and many of whom are or have already worked at NSA Bahrain or temporary workers. These will include Bahraini, Indian, Philippino, Turkish, and Italian nationals. Per the contract it states: Any use of non-U.S. citizens or foreign national personnel must be vetted through the Authorizing Official via U.S. Fleet Cyber Command Security.( SECTION 01 14 00 WORK RESTRICTIONS 1.3.5.2 Citizenship Requirements) Does NAVFAC see or anticipate any issue approving these individuals for this project?

Answer: Yes, NAVFAC anticipates these individuals will not be approved.

PPI 15

It is our understanding that NSA Security will issue a limited, temporary base access to personnel coming to Bahrain to work on NAVFAC projects. However, once this pass expires, one will not be allowed access to the base unless they have a legal VISA and residence permit (CPR) in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

A. Can you confirm this is correct?

B. And how long a duration is issued for the limited, temporary base access for construction workers and staff?

Answer: NCTS Bahrain does not dictate or decide on how the CPR process is processed for contracted personnel, the company owners and any other entity that engages in contracted work. The CPR process must be worked out with the embassy and immigration.

PPI 16

A. The drawings provided with the RFP are unclassified. Are we to assume that all of the work in the provided drawing package can be constructed by non-secured, local contractors?

Answer: No, Follow the CSP.

B. Is there a second design package of secured/classified work, such as communications that will be performed by a follow-on contractor after our BOD?

Answer: No, there will be no second design package as part of this work.

PPI 17

It is our understanding that importing materials into the Kingdom of Bahrain requires (1) one have an established company in Bahrain with a CPR, (2) the prime must utilize a locally registered company to act as their import agent or subcontractor. Can you confirm this is correct?

Answer: We are not able to confirm importing materials into the Kingdom of Bahrain requiring anyone to have an established company in Bahrain with a CPR and having to utilize a locally registered company to act as their import agent or subcontractor.

PPI 18

In the past, for the US Navy in EURAFSWA, we have brought in a team of local contractors to perform all non-secured work. Once completed, the US national, secured team or follow on contractor came in to complete the work, pull the cables, etc.

We were required to have 1 US secured personnel, or military with security clearance, for every 3 local nationals as escorts.

Would NAVFAC consider this solution for this project in order to reduce costs and reduce construction time?

Answer: No. Follow the CSP

PPI 19

Reference to Drawing no. ET101, Keynote 7, please confirm that the cabinet is not included in the contractor scope of work. Otherwise, please provide the cabinet requirement.

Answer: Regarding Sheet ET101, Keynote 7, A/V cabinet is not included in contractor scope of work. It is government furnished government installed.

PPI 20

Reference to PPI No. 4 dated 28 July 2019, kindly note that this inquiry included a very critical question concerning SCIF construction and the requirement for SECRET-cleared, U.S. personnel.

Based on our first-hand experience on Contract no. W912ER-11-D-0001-0006 “P-908 Operations and Support Facilities, Naval Support Activity, Manama, Bahrain”, this issue has to be resolved during the bidding period or it will cause major complications and delays after award. Accordingly, your urgent response is sincerely appreciated.

Answer: The company is permitted to use the fact they have a subsidiary with a FCL to bid on the contract.

Amendment 0003 is hereby incorporated to include the following:

1. Answers to Pre-proposal inquiries (PPI).

PPI 21

Reference to your response to PPI No. 4 included in Amendment 0002, , kindly note that based on our recent discussions with companies having Facility Clearance (FCL) and Secret Cleared personnel about the possibility of using them as a subcontractor on this project, we were clearly informed that per National Industrial Security Program (NISP) requirements and the direction of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA - the government agency that issues the FCLs), they cannot apply their FCL to a classified contract as a subcontractor to a prime contractor without Facility Clearance. The NISPOM (National Industrial Security Program Operating Manuals) requires the Prime Contractor to have FCL even in instances when classified access is limited to subcontractors. They have told us that they need to have a Department of Defense Contract Security Classification Specification (DD254) issued to them in order to apply access to their cleared personnel’s security clearances (there does not appear to be any reference to a DD254 being issued once this contract is awarded). That would need to come directly from the government, or it would come from a prime contractor with FCL who had received a DD254 from the government. Based on the above and our first-hand experience at NSA, Bahrain, it will not be possible to execute the SCIF scope of work associated with this project by any of the U.S. MACC awardees since they do not possess the required Facility Clearance. Should you need to discuss this critical issue in more details, please advise who at NAVFAC should our subcontractor’s DCSA Representative speak to about this subject. Since the proposal is due in only one week, your urgent response is sincerely appreciated.

Answer:

See Amendment 0002’s Answer for PPI 04. In addition, Should you need to discuss this critical issue in more details during the contract period, you may contact the Contracting Officer’s Representative who will be named at award.

15.404 -- Proposal Analysis.

15.404-1 -- Proposal Analysis Techniques.

(a) General. The objective of proposal analysis is to ensure that the final agreed-to price is fair and reasonable.

(1) The contracting officer is responsible for evaluating the reasonableness of the offered prices. The analytical techniques and procedures described in this section may be used, singly or in combination with others, to ensure that the final price is fair and reasonable. The complexity and circumstances of each acquisition should determine the level of detail of the analysis required.

(2) Price analysis shall be used when certified cost or pricing data are not required (see paragraph (b) of this subsection and 15.404-3).

(3) Cost analysis shall be used to evaluate the reasonableness of individual cost elements when certified cost or pricing data are required. Price analysis should be used to verify that the overall price offered is fair and reasonable.

(4) Cost analysis may also be used to evaluate data other than certified cost or pricing data to determine cost reasonableness or cost realism when a fair and reasonable price cannot be determined through price analysis alone for commercial or non-commercial items.

(5) The contracting officer may request the advice and assistance of other experts to ensure that an appropriate analysis is performed.

(6) Recommendations or conclusions regarding the Government’s review or analysis of an offeror’s or contractor’s proposal shall not be disclosed to the offeror or contractor without the concurrence of the contracting officer. Any discrepancy or mistake of fact (such as duplications, omissions, and errors in computation) contained in the certified cost or pricing data or data other than certified cost or pricing data submitted in support of a proposal shall be brought to the contracting officer’s attention for appropriate action.

(7) The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) and the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) jointly prepared a five-volume set of Contract Pricing Reference Guides to guide pricing and negotiation personnel. The five guides are: I Price Analysis, II Quantitative Techniques for Contract Pricing, III Cost Analysis, IV Advanced Issues in Contract Pricing, and V Federal Contract Negotiation Techniques. These references provide detailed discussion and examples applying pricing policies to pricing problems. They are to be used for instruction and professional guidance. However, they are not directive and should be considered informational only. They are available via the internet at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/cpic/cp/contract_pricing_reference_guides.html.
