CONTRACTING: This is a typo and no information has been omitted.

Due to the continuous updates on the Government’s COVID‐19 response efforts and the current requirement to telework, we are striving to reduce the burden on our Government clients by not asking them to complete a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQs). Our Contracting Representatives have been reluctant to complete – and have even discouraged from completing ‐ PPQ forms if formal CPARS performance evaluations have been completed. Due to these extenuating circumstances, will Government allow offerors to submit CPARS in our proposals in lieu of Past Performance Questionnaires?

Attachment 5 Section L– Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors PDF Page 9

3.4 Questionnaires

CONTRACTING: Offerors have the maximum opportunity to submit past performance information on either format.

Will the Government extend the due date of the submission by 2 weeks to allow responses to Questions and allow adjustment to COVID‐19 requirements? The way of doing business has significantly changed in the proposal and response effort, an extension will allow time to properly adjust.

An IAW section M para 3.4 questionaires do not count toward the page limit for past performance volume.

If projects are submitted as a JV (joint venture) should there be past performance examples submitted by both partners?

N/A N/A

CONTRACTING: IAW Section L para

N/A N/A

CONTRACTING: IAW Section 3.4.1

ONE (1) COPY OF THE COMPLETED

QUESTIONNAIRES SHALL BE

SUBMITTED

DIRECTLY TO THE GOVERNMENT

NOT LATER THAN THE DATE

PROPOSALS ARE

DUE AND ONE (1) COPY WILL BE

SUBMITTED WITH YOUR

PROPOSAL.

1. Section L and Section M‐ Past Performance Information‐ Can the government please adjust the past performance period to 5 years from the issue date of the solicitation. For a project to meet Section M criteria of very relevant, the project needs to involve essentially the same scope and magnitude. Three years is very restrictive to meet this criteria as projects that are Hangar renovations with converting a SAPF to a SCIF are not common projects issued by AF or DoD.

Section L and Section M

N/A CONTRACTING: IAW Section L 3.1 the definition of recent will remain:

completed within three (3) years from the issue date of this solicitation.

1. Section L- Teaming Arrangement and Joint Ventures- “Provide a letter from all subcontractors (Attachment L5) that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor, only if it is being used as part of the past performance evaluation. Include a Statement of Assurance that the team member will not be replaced for the duration of the contract, and any exceptions should be identified.

Also include a Statement of Assurance that the team members are not teaming with another firm for this requirement.” Can the government clarify this statement, if you utilize the past performance of a subcontractor, they are not allowed to be on any other teams for the proposal?

Section L N/A

CONTRACTING: Section L para 3.2 has been updated.

In Section B (solicitation page 4), the description of CLIN 0001 is the same as the description of CLIN 0002. Were these intended to be the two phases? Please rewrite the descriptions for clarity.

Section B‐ Solicitaiton

Pg. 4 CE: CLIN 1 is for the construction of the project minus All Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment. CLIN 2 I f.or All Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment, see Appendix E in the Spec.

The specifications include Appendix D describing the work for the cyber infrastructure, but nothing is mentioned for cyber security. Will the contractor be responsible for cyber security on this project?

CE: Appendix D, 96 CE Design Guide, included in the spec is for reference.

There is work being done on the RF shielding during construction. Will testing for the RF shielding be required? If so, will the testing include all of the shielding or just the new work?

CE: Testing of Rf shielding is not required.

In Section C (solicitation page 5), the last sentence states that “proposal shall be valid until 31 December 2021.” However, the SF 1442 suggests that the proposal validity period is > 60 calendar days. A 61‐day validity period starting 6/4/2021 would expire around August 4, 2021. A 210‐day validity period starting 6/4/2021 would expire on 12/31/2021. If f the December date is valid, should the SF 1442 be revised to reflect a longer validity period?

CONTRACTING: RFP has been updated to reflect correct days.

Section 5 of the Construction Statement of Work includes dates for critical milestones that are no longer valid (i.e., starting Phase I work on May 1, 2021). Consider replacing these calendar‐specific dates with durations instead (e.g., completing work in rooms 134/135 within 45 calendar days after starting Phase I work, completing work all work in the Supply & Support area within 75 days after starting Phase I work, completing all Phase I work within 184 calendar days, etc.)

CONTRACTING: These dates can be ignored as all calendar specific dates will be based on the issued NTP after award has been made.

Will the existing FFE be relocated by the government or will that become the contractor’s responsibility?

CE: See note 5 on sheets I‐106 and I‐

Would it be possible for the USAF to provide as‐built drawings as part of the solicitation materials? This would be a tremendous help since the number of site visit participants is limited. CE: Yes

Attachment 3 (Specifications) Appendix E – AV2 Audio Visual Console / Built‐in Credenza: Does “In View Furniture, Inc.”

supply the pull‐out swivel rack system?

CE: Yes, The pull‐out swivel rack system will be provided by In View Furniture, Inc. as part of the built‐in credenza.

Attachment 3 (Specifications) Appendix E – AV4 Lectern: The drawing does not depict a service access door on the front.

Does it require an access door?

CE: No access door is required.

Please provide pull‐out swivel rack system.

Attachment 3 (Specifications) Appendix E – AV4 Lectern: Does this item require a height adjustable lift? CE: Yes

Attachment 3 (Specifications) Appendix E – AV4 Lectern: Does this item require equipment rack rails? CE: Yes

Attachment 3 (Specifications) Appendix E – T2 Map Table: Do the 72” drawers need to be inside clear dimension, or do we keep the dimension shown on the drawing?

CE: Please provide 72” clear dimension for drawers.

Subsection 1.3.6 in Section L mentions designating one copy of each numbered volume as the official version and marking “official” on the cover sheet. These instructions no longer apply because we are submitting electronic files, correct?

CONTRACTING: This is no longer a requirement. Section L has been updated.

The sixth paragraph in Subsection 1.3.7 in Section L says that “The electronic copies of the proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Office Word 97‐2003 or 2010, MS Office Excel 97‐2003 or 2010, MS Office Project 97‐ 2003 or 2010, and MS Office Power Point 97‐2003 or 2010, as applicable.” Would it be possible to add Adobe PDF to the list of acceptable formats? There are several parts of the RFP that were issued in PDF format that need to be modified and returned (e.g., the SF 1442, Section B, Section I, Section K, Bonds Checklist, etc.). Most RFPs that require electronic submission of proposals for federal construction contracts instruct offerors to submit each volume as a combined PDF file.

Pricing spreadsheets are usually submitted in Excel, and sometimes project schedules are provided in the native file format. But otherwise, most proposals are submitted in PDF.

CONTRACTING: All files can be in PDF format except for the 50 division which must be in an editable format (ie: Excel).

15. Subsection 3.4.1 in Section L says that completed PPQs should be sent directly to Karen Wagner. Is this correct? Should completed PPQs instead be sent to Rachel Tilley and Zachary Schultz?

CONTRACTING: Yes, please submit any past performance information to Rachel Tilley, Daniel Glushko or Zachary Schultz.

Subsection 4.2.2 in Section L says that Section B is to be submitted in Volume III (Contract Documentation). Should it also go in Volume I (Price)?

CONTRACTING: Please submit Section B in Volume III (Contract Documentation)

Subsection 1.3.3 says that “The Offeror shall provide a solicitation cross reference matrix indicating, by Statement of Work (SOW) paragraph number, the corresponding proposal paragraph in that section that addresses the referenced item.”

None of the sections in the SOW seem to correspond to the required proposal contents. Please provide more information regarding what offerors are meant to put in the cross‐ reference matrix.

CONTRACTING: IAW Section L 1.3.3 Cross referencing is permitted, not required.

In Attachment L3 (Financial Responsibility Questionnaire), a different project is listed on the top of the page. Offerors can replace that information with the project number and name of this project, correct?

CONTRACTING: The correct FRQ has been uploaded with the responses to these questions.

In Attachment L6 (Past Performance Questionnaire), a different project is listed on the top of the page. Offerors can replace that information with the project number and name of this project, correct? And on the second line of the form, we should list the contract number for the project that is being evaluated, correct?

CONTRACTING: An updated PPQ has been uploaded with these questions.

Would the USAF consider extending the deadline for solicitation questions until 20 May 2021?

CONTRACTING: This was answered during the site visit, questions are due by 1400 on 20 May.

Will utilities be available for an office trailer?

CE: The contractor shall coordinate with CHELCO for power to their office trailer. Coordinate with ASUS for required water/sewer tie‐ins, if avaialble.

Would it be acceptable to submit the 50 div breakdown 48 hours after the proposal is due? We will be receiving subcontractor quotes right up until the bid is due, and there is no way we will be able to get that pricing info into the 50 div sheet in time for submittal.

CONTRACTING: All proposal requirements must be submitted IAW Section L.

The SF1442 requires pricing to be good for 60 days, but Section C of the solicitation says proposals need to be valid until 31 December 2021. Which is correct?

CONTRACTING: Pricing shall be guaranteed through 31 December 2021.

We request the 45 day window from NTP to turn over for the 2 rooms in phase 1 be reconsidered. We do not feel it will be possible to include submittals and procurement in a 45 day construction window.

CE: This request will not be considered at this time.

Are there any other tight timeline areas in this project besides the 2 rooms in phase 1?

CE: From the Addendum to the drawings: Sheet A‐120, General Notes:

Note 1 shall read as

It is going to be difficult to accomplish the Phase I work within the durations established in Section 5 of the Construction Statement of Work. Assuming that the start dates change but the durations stay the same, it appears as though there are only 45 calendar days to accomplish Phase I work in rooms 134/135 (after starting Phase I work) and 75 calendar days (after starting Phase I work) to complete work in the Supply & Support area. Please confirm that the start date for Phase I work is referring to the start of on‐site work (not NTP) and that all procurement activities, plans, and submittal approvals (20 working days for contracting officer approval) are completed before this point in time.

Section F includes FAR Clause 52.2110‐12 Liquidated Damages

– Construction. This clause says that “If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, the Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of $361.52 for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted. Would liquidated damages be assessed only if all of the project work were not accepted before the contractual completion date?

CONTRACTING: Liquidated damages apply under the terms and conditions of the contract as specified in FAR 52.2110‐12 Liquidated Damages‐Construction

Table M2 (Relevancy Ratings) in Section M defines the magnitude of a very relevant project as “between $2,000,000 to $5,000,000.” Would the USAF please consider defining the magnitude of a very relevant project as “more than $2,000,000” instead?

CONTRACTING: Magnitudeds have been updated in Section M.
