September 25, 2015

1. FBO lists this as a “Presolicitation” and the SOW that posted is listed as a ‘draft’, but it also states the SF 330 request is due by October 21. Is this this actual solicitation or a presolicitation?

This is a Request for Qualifications for Architect and Engineering firm. Response to this Request is by submission of the completed SF 330. After the technical evaluation is complete, the highest qualified firms will be issued a Request for Proposal.

2. The solicitation indicates that Past Performance will be thru CPARS records review.

The solicitation says that if there are no CPARS reports the Offeror will be evaluated as neutral (5 points). When are evaluations done in CPARS?

CPARS evaluations are generally done on contracts and task orders over $150,000, an A/E contract of $30,000 or more, or a Construction contract of $650,000. CPARS evaluation policy is listed in FAR Part 42.1502. It may be the policy of individual contracting offices to have different CPARS procedures.

3. Is it required of the contractor to perform the services for all the States or can the contractor perform services for a single state? Will there be multiple companies chosen?

It is not a requirement that the contractor performs the services in all the states listed, but the states the contractor intends to perform services in should be identified in their qualifications.

It is anticipated that 3 awards will be made from this solicitation.

4. Under “Evaluation Factor 1 – Professional Qualifications” it states “Do not submit more than five

(5) resumes total for the three key personnel listed above.” Can you clarify if that means a total of 15 resumes for the key personnel listed in Evaluation Factor 1, or a total of 5?

The qualification package submitted shall include a maximum of 5 resumes for the combined key personnel listed in Evaluation Factor 1.

5. Should contractors include in the proposal “Section G – Key Personnel Participation in Example Projects” with our submission showing the correlation of Key Personnel with Example Projects?

It is a requirement of the Request for Qualifications to provide a completed SF 330, including Section G.

6. Are we allowed to submit additional information/additional pages in Section H beyond the 3 page limitation for “Evaluation Factor 3 - Capacity to Accomplish Work” and the 1 page limitation for “Evaluation Factor 4 - Logistics”? If so, what would the limitation be on those pages?

The only information in Section H that will be considered in the evaluation is three pages for Evaluation Factor 3 and one page for Evaluation Factor 4. Any pages beyond three for Evaluation Factor 3 or beyond one for Evaluation Factor 4 will not be considered in the evaluation.

7. Under “Evaluation Factor 2 - Specialized Experience”, Section A, “2) Contract Scope” – Do you want a very brief summary of the scope here with further project details listed in below sections or should we write a very descriptive narrative on this line? Also, can you please clarify if you want the scope of the entire project listed our just the contractors role as the CM/CI on the project?

The Contract Scope should be the scope of the CMPM/CI services contract. The length/level of detail of the write-up is up to you.

8. If selected, then is their competition for each potential task amongst the selectees?

It is expected that most task orders will be awarded based on competition, but there may be occasions where a task order is awarded on a sole source basis.

9. Can a firm have more than 1 task at a time?

Yes, a firm can have more than one task order open at a time.

10. What is base and option year limits for the IDIQ contract?
