Questions for Solicitation F2K2AC6056A002 ISWM

1) RFP Section 2.2.6 states “Submit original (labeled as such), plus one (1) copy (labeled as such) in 2” binders of each proposal part…” Does the Government want each Proposal Part in its own 2” binder?

Each proposal part should be at the very least separated inside a 2” binder.

2) Performance-Based Work Statement Section 1.6.1 states “The phase-in period is thirty

(30) calendar days or less, and is projected to begin on 1 March 2016.” Since this date is in the past, can the Government please provide the date in which the phase-in period is anticipate to start?

The phase in period is currently anticipated to start at contract award which is currently 1 Aug 2016 and 2 weeks is built in for transition time in CLIN 0020.

3) RFP Section 6.0 states offerors are to provide “Past Performance 1 cover page for any explanatory notes, & 3 page max for each submitted contract…” however Attachment 3, Past Performance Information Form is 4 pages long. Can the Government please clarify the Past Performance requirement to be in accordance with the length of the Past Performance Information Form.

This will be adjusted to allow for more space under past performance. More specifically the following language was changed in the RFP, “6.0 Volume IV- Past Performance 1 cover page for any explanatory notes, & 4 page max for each submitted contract, with a total maximum of no more than 3 contracts that may be submitted.”

4) RFP Section 2.2 , Table 2.2 indicates that 1 copy of each Part should be provided, however, RFP Section 2.2.6 states “Submit original (labeled as such), plus one (1) copy (labeled as such) in 2” binders of each proposal part, and one (1) Compact Disc (CD)…” Can the Government please clarify the number of copies offerors should provide.

The Contractor will provide 2 Hard copies of their proposal. One of those is the original proposal and the other is a Copy of the proposal. In addition one CD proposal is needed as well as 1 electronic copy through email. Table 2.2 speaks to Proposal organization. Section 2.2.6 speaks to the number of copies required.

5) RFP Section 3.0 Part I- Volume I Executive Summary states that there is a 3 page maximum, however the items identified in RFP Sections 3.1-3.6 will, when provided require more space claim than 3 pages. We believe 7 pages is an accurate number to provide the requested information in the Executive Summary. Can the Government please clarify if the 3 page maximum limit is for the 3.1 Narrative Summary only.

The only items counted against the page limit are 3.1 Narrative Summary, 3.2 Table of Contents,

3.3 Authorized Offeror Personnel, and 3.4 Company/Division Address, Identifying Codes, and Applicable Designations. 3.5 Fill in Provisions and3.6 Small Business Certificate are not counted. In response to this however the government has changed the amount to 7.

Since this solicitation was not issued with an SF 33 or 1449, and the amendments don’t have SF 30s so how do you want us to acknowledge the amendments?

Language has been added that asks offerors to acknowledge all addendums under the Executive summary under 3.1 Narrative Summary.

“The narrative summary of the entire proposal should be concise, to include addressing the significant risks, and highlighting any key or unique features, excluding cost/price. The salient features should tie in with evaluation factors/subfactors. Any summary material presented here shall not be considered as meeting the requirements for any portions of other volumes of the proposal. Offerors shall include in this section a statement of Acknowledgement for all amendments associated with this Request for Proposal.”

This will be adjusted to allow for more space under past performance. More specifically the following language was changed in the RFP, “6.0 Volume IV- Past Performance 1 cover page for any explanatory notes, & 4 page max for each submitted contract, w...
