Project: Bridge Inspection Services-Competitive Full and Open Competition The purpose of this amendment is:

1. Provide a summary of responses to questions/clarifications asked by potential bidders.

2. All other terms and conditions remain the same.

1. Tunnel Inspection - In the first paragraph of the solicitation, reference is made to tunnel inspection, yet tunnels are not listed in the summary of work in the second paragraph. Please confirm whether tunnel inspections are, in fact, part of the scope of work.

Tunnel Inspections are a part of the scope of work.

2. Page Limit - Is there a page limit to our proposal?

There is no page limit.

3. Subcontracting Plan – Is the “exceed $650,000” requirement intended to apply to the value of each Task Order; or, since the potential value of this solicitation is given as $10.0M, will a small business subcontracting plan be required for this contract irrespective of the $650,000 requirement?

A subcontracting plan needs to be submitted before the IDIQ can be awarded using those goals to the best extent possible, then once you are awarded a Task Order (over $650K) you would submit a plan using those same goals for that specific requirement.

4. Clerical Staff - The solicitation says “the following professional disciplines to be on the team” which include Clerical. Please define “Clerical” and indicate whether EFLHD requires resumes of clerical staff to be included in our submittal?

No resumes for clerical staff are required.

5. Should we have additional questions, is there a deadline for submitting them?

The deadline is June 9 at 2 pm (EST) for submitting additional questions.

6. Are resumes allowed to be more than one page?

They can be a maximum of 2 pages. The overwhelming majority of the time they are 1 page.

7. The solicitation states that, “The SF330 should be completed per the instructions on the form and may be expanded, if necessary, to address the selection criteria fully.” Can you clarify which sections of the SF330 are able to be expanded?

SF330 ARCHITECT - ENGINEER QUALIFICATION, “Section H. Additional Information”

Please include relevant past performance evaluations you have received (especially on the example projects). Also, relevant to bridge inspection these areas: contract and task order management within your firm, cost and schedule control, QA/QC, document management, and communications, and awards/recognition might be other areas to address.
