1. Can you please confirm if this is a SF-330 formatted proposal? There is not a required format for the proposals. All documents submitted will be reviewed as part of the proposal.

2. If there is more than one CLIN, should each CLIN show the price/extended/total for each Task listed in the SOW? Yes. All line items should have their own pricing information.

3. If a price breakdown is by Task (Base and Option) what details or metrics do you want to see?

For example, a fully loaded hourly rate for each task, or detailed rates or budget for each activity outlined in the Task(s)? We request to see the fully loaded hourly rate for each task.

4. Please verify if this procurement is in fact a Low Price Technically Acceptable procurement as outlined in the attachment titled “Combo.” My question stems from the fact that the NAICS Code 541310 - Architectural Services for this procurement typically falls under the Brooks Act which is qualification-based and not Commercial Services which is price-based. Thank you for that information. Due to this, this requirement will now utilize the Best Value Continuum to make the award decision. Please see updated Combo for new Evaluation Factors under Basis for Contract Award.

5. Can you provide 2-3 successful OLDCC applications from previous years for reference and format guidance? Yes, we can provide one winning example and then advise any bidder to visit the OLDCC website at https://oldcc.gov and navigate to the past winner section. The package we will provide is from a winning effort at Grand Forks AFB.

6. Does Clark County have preferred cost estimation methodologies or software we should use for construction-ready estimates? Clark County suggests a certified Primavera P6 cost estimating organization.

7. Are there specific training scenarios or equipment requirements already identified by both Clark County and Creech AFB? For the purposes of this effort, there will be certain pieces of training equipment and capabilities that must be placed in the construction of this facility. The how, when and by which organization they will be utilized are not relevant to the application.

8. What's the typical processing time for contractor base access clearance at Creech AFB? 3 days from the date of receipt of the submitted personnel list. Note, this is a federal installation, and a complete background check will be run on all members of the winning team. All teal members will be required to provide drives licenses with number and social security credentials for purposes of background examination. All materials will be properly disposed of properly and nothing will be retained by the installation after clearances have been certified. Outstanding warrants to include issues of parking and/or speeding violations as well as child support issues with the courts have been grounds for barring access to the installation.
