QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS #4

10 May 2017

Question 1: Per the instructions in Section L, Paragraph 2(f) of this solicitation, I'm requesting Contracting Officer clarification regarding the presentation of the line item costs in Attachment 3 - Roofing Bid Schedules.

As an 8(a) firm working under NAICS 238160, we will use a qualified roofing contractor--a subcontractor to us--to execute work under this contract. Hence, in addition to our direct subcontract costs, we as the prime will also have costs for general conditions, project administration, etc. As the Roofing Bid Schedules are currently designed, it seems we will need to incorporate our prime contractor costs into every line item in the Bid Schedule in order to effectively capture total contract cost to the Government. Is that the Government's preference?

I'm asking because, due to the differing complexity of individual task orders under this IDIQ, I can envision scenarios where general project conditions, etc. for some task orders could be significantly greater than for others. Trying to average those costs into each line item could potentially result in either higher risk to an 8(a) contractor on more complex task orders or higher cost to the Government for more straightforward roofing projects.

Answer: This is a firm-fixed price contract and as such the prices are not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor’s cost experience in performing the contract and this contract type places upon the contractor maximum risk and full responsibility for all costs and resulting profit or loss. Therefore, Offerors should propose prices that take into account all aspects of the cost to perform the contract, to include any overhead and profit. Additionally, all Offerors are reminded that the awarded contractor is subject to FAR clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting and that the Government considers this effort to be construction by special trade contractors. The awarded contractor will be required to perform at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees.

Question 2: Solicitation, Page 55. If representations and certifications are up-to-date in SAM, shall the offeror provide printed copies of data from the website for Volume 1, Tab#5?

Answer: Yes. Offerors are reminded to complete both the FAR and DFARS representations and certifications in SAM. Offerors must also ensure that any additional representations and certification listed in Section K that are not in SAM are completed and submitted with their offer.

Question 3: Solicitation, Page 57. Shall the offeror submit individual task orders under an IDIQ contract for the past performance examples or shall the offeror use an entire IDIQ contract as one Past Performance example?

Answer: The entire IDIQ should be submitted as one reference and the Offeror should annotate the number of task orders completed under the contract in their description of the work performed and explanation of why the referenced effort is relevant.

Question 4: Solicitation, Page 58 and Attachment 8, Page 1. According to the solicitation, the Past Performance Questionnaires are to be submitted with the proposal from the offeror. However, according to the instructions on Attachment 8, the evaluator is to email/fax the completed evaluation directly to Mr. Wesolowski. Is it acceptable for the evaluators to send the evaluations to the offeror to include in the proposal documents?

Answer: No. If you will notice above in the Tabs there is no specified Tab for completed Past Performance Questionnaires. As specified in Section L, Offerors are to complete Section A of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 8) and forward to their clients and instruct them to complete Sections B and C. Offeror’s clients will then follow the instructions on the Questionnaire and forward the completed Questionnaire directly to Mr.

Wesolowski.

Question 5: Attachment 8, Page 1. If the PPQ's are to be emailed/faxed to Mr. Wesolowski, what is the latest date these can be emailed/faxed by the evaluator?

Answer: We need all PPQs no later than the date for receipt of proposals, 24 May 2017.

Question 6: 1. On page 65 of the Solicitation Document, it is stated "in evaluating the past performance of a Joint Venture, the Government will limit its evaluation to the past performance of the Joint Venture, not its members." It is the intent of our firm to submit an offer for the subject solicitation as a new Joint Venture. The strength of this new Joint Venture comes from one member bringing exceptional roofing expertise, while the other member brings exceptional construction management expertise. Is it permissible to submit a proposal from a new Joint Venture and show past performance from each of the Joint Venture members for evaluation?

Answer: Yes. Paragraph 4(b)(2) Relevancy Assessment of Section M has been revised to allow for the submission of past performance for the members of any Joint Venture. See Amendment 0005.

Question 7: What weight do you place on Team Members? It is stated on page 58 of the Solicitation that we may include a teaming or partnership agreement or letter of intent for consideration. It is not stated that we can submit our Team Member’s past performance, but we believe that being able to include these references would be the best way to show the strength that a Team Member would bring to the teaming arrangement. How will you evaluate (or what weight do you place on) a Team Member? And is it permissible to submit our Team Member’s past performance as part of the 5 requested past performance references?

Answer: In regards to the requirement for the submission of teaming/partnership agreement. In accordance with FAR 9.603 in order for the Government to recognize the validity and integrity of any contractor team arrangement, the arrangement must be fully disclosed in an offer. In the context of this solicitation it is primarily for those contractor team arrangements in which two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor (See FAR 9.601 (1)). The Government will not evaluate subcontractor past performance under a typical Prime-Subcontractor team arrangement. (See FAR 9.601(2))

In the context of a Joint Venture, the Government has not established any weighting of individual Joint Venture participants. However, the Government will consider and evaluate the past performance of the members of a Joint Venture taking into consideration the information presented in an Offeror’s SBA approved Joint Venture agreement.

Question 8: Are bidders permitted to include major subcontractors’ past performance for certain aspects of work?

Answer: No. See response to Question 7 and revised Section M (Amendment 0005).

Question 9: Please clarify if you will accept a CPARS Evaluation in lieu of the Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment 8) for Solicitation No. FA2823-17-R-4014, or if we need to use the attachment 8 PPQ for all past performance references?

Answer: It may be the policy of some Government agencies to respond to Past Performance Questionnaires by attaching the CPARS evaluation in lieu answering specific questions. In these instances Offerors may instruct their clients to complete Section B of the PPQ and attach the CPARS Evaluation instead of completing Section C. If the agency does not have a specific policy in regards to PPQs and CPARS Evaluations then we request that they complete the PPQ and send directly to us.

Question 10: Reference: SF 1442, Item 13. A. states the Government requires: “Sealed offers in original and 3 copies…” while Solicitation, Pg. 54 of 67, Section 4. OFFERS, states the offeror shall submit original + 2 each hard copies. Please clarify proposal submittal is one (1) original and: either two (2) or three (3) hard copies.

Answer: SF 1442 Item 13A should read original and two (2) hard copies to correspond with Section L of the solicitation. In addition, Offerors are reminded of the requirement to submit their entire proposal on CD/DVD.

Question 11: The Table of Contents shows DIV 01 57 20 as Temporary Environmental Controls, however, the specification section is shown as 01 57 19. Furthermore, there are references to "01 57 20 Environmental Protections" (e.g. Section 01 11 00, 1.35.3), but there is no Environmental Protections section included. Should we use the "Temporary Environmental Controls" specification instead?

Answer: The specifications have been revised. See Amendment 0006. The Table of Contents shows has been revised to show 01 57 19. This change has been noted with a triangle and a numeral 1 on the revised specifications.

Question 12: The Table of Contents shows DIV 01 74 19 Construction and Demolition Waste Management, however, there is no specification section included.

Answer: The specifications have been revised. See Amendment 0006. The specifications have been updated with this DIV 01 74 19 specification section included. This change has been noted with a triangle and a numeral 1 on the revised specifications.

Question 13: The Table of Contents shows DIV 07 41 63 Fabricated Metal Roof Panel Assemblies, however, there is no specification section included.

Answer: The specifications have been revised. See Amendment 0006. The specifications have been revised to remove the reference to DIV 07 41 63. This specification is not a part of this project. This change has been noted with a triangle and a numeral 1 on the revised specifications.

Question 14: The UFC provided is based on 01 May 2012 / Change 1, 22 May 2014. There is a recently version of UFC 03-110-03, 01 May 2012 / Change 2, 1 Jan 2017. Question: The Government wants to use the 2014 version for this IDIQ or the most recent one that is 2017.

Answer: The specifications have been revised. See Amendment 0006. The updated version of UFC 03-110-03, 1 Jan 2017 shall be used and has been included in the specifications. The outdated UFC 03-110-03 has been replaced. This change has been noted with a triangle and a numeral 1 on the revised specifications.

Question 15: Is it acceptable for a contractor to individually list projects that were performed under an IDIQ contract?

There are several projects that we would like to individually showcase with their own questionnaire rather than completing one PPQ for the entire IDIQ.

Answer: No. An IDIQ contract should be submitted as one reference. This is consistent with Relevancy Assessment language in Section M which states that the Government considers relevant IDIQ type contracts more relevant than single projects. See Response to Question 3.

Question 16: Will Past performance of subcontractors be considered relevant?

Answer: No. See responses to Question 7 and 8 and Amendment 0005.

Question 17: Is there lead paint or asbestos identified at Bldg 945?

Answer: No lead paint or asbestos has been identified by the Government.

Question 18: Will escorts be required full time for contractor personnel working on site?

Answer: The Government will provide any required escorts required for work being performed in secure locations.

Question 19: RFP references the Eglin Architectural Compatibility Standards. Where can we get a current copy of this?

Answer: The document has been uploaded to the Federal Business Opportunities website. The document is titled, Eglin Architectural Compatibility Plan.

Question 20: To avoid sending multiple PPQ’s to our current contracting officers for our ongoing projects, can we use a PPQ recently written for another contract proposal? We just submitted one to __________ that is nearly identical.

Answer: No. In accordance with the solicitation instructions for Past Performance Questionnaires, “Evaluators are only allowed to use the Attachment 8, Past Performance Questionnaire.”

Question 21: I don’t understand what this line item means.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES

HEIGHT FACTOR, 30 FEET OR GREATER ABOVE GROUND, UNIT EACH=JOB CSQ 5

Can you please elaborate?

Answer: This is an additional Cost per 100 Squares (CSQ) that will be added for work performed at 30 feet or Greater above the ground.
