B. ESD-RFI Template_Blank Form.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) Report template used by the District of Columbia Department of Public Works (DPW) for documenting inquiries and proposed solutions related to federal contracts.

The form serves as a communication tool between contractors/stakeholders and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to address questions or issues arising during contract performance. The template captures essential information including the contract title and number, RFI number, date, prime contractor name, and the requesting party. Contractors submit the specific SOW paragraph number, feature of work affected, and a detailed description of the problem or issue requiring clarification. The form requires contractors to identify the type of impact—whether the inquiry involves potential cost impact, schedule impact, other considerations, or no cost change—and to propose a solution with supporting rationale. A required response deadline must be established at the time of submission. The COR reviews the proposed solution and determines whether to accept, reject, or recommend modifications, with authority to request additional information if needed. The form includes sign-off sections for relevant stakeholders (Safety, NEC, Fire Department, Master Planning, Environmental) to indicate their acceptance of the proposed solution before the COR provides final authorization and signature. This template facilitates formal documentation and multi-departmental coordination on contract modification requests within the DPW procurement process.
