See Section L Section 2.5.2.5.1, offerors should not utilize lump sum or total pricing when pricing each specification division. Failure to breakout major work elements within a specification division may result in an unfavorable evaluation. If utilizing lump sum or total pricing when pricing the specific division, Offerors should provide rationale on why the price cannot be broken out. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed pricing rests with the Offeror.

5/16/2022 6 Attachment L1 (Revised) Please confirm that the costs do not need to be broken down into labor, material, and equipment and that only scope quantities are required.

See Section L Section 2.5.2.5.1, offerors should not utilize lump sum or total pricing when pricing each specification division. Failure to breakout major work elements within a specification division may result in an unfavorable evaluation.

Please confirm that Kynar painted sheet metal gutters and downspouts are to be provided. Again, due to conflicts in the provided spreadsheet recommend allowing Offers to delete all lines and Offers provide the sufficient level of detail.

Painted galvanized metal. Please refer to Section 3.1 section c in the Revised SOW. Please also refer to the Revised 50‐Div workbook for Amendment 0004.

5/16/2022 14 Attachment L1 (Revised)

It appears that this sheet was attempted to be completed using an RS Means or similar estimating workbook. Is the AF prescriptively detailing the scope of work, equipment, and materials being used for each line items. The line items included are not accurate, do not reflect means and methods, and conflict with the SOW.

Please refer to Section 3.4 section d, color must match existing. If the manufacturers finish is painted and matches existing, it is acceptable. Red‐oxide primer is not acceptable.

5/16/2022 17 Revised SOW Section 3.4 Numerous questions regarding the UXO were submitted but the responses did not adequately respond. It is clear that a UXO sweep is the responsibility of the Offers but what are the requirements? Is it limited to visual only? Magnetometer? What reports will be required? Please note that the Design Guidlines do not specify these requirements either.

IAW Section 3.13, UXO sweep is no longer required.

5/16/2022 26 Section L, 2.5.3.2 updated in Amendment 0002

RFI #102

Amendment 0002 added the statement "**Physically separated, but not autonomous from its parent base. For example, a project on Eglin MainBase would be considered geographically separate from a project on an Eglin outlying Range. For private projects a distance of at least 25‐miles."

Given this addition, please confirm offerors can still show concurrent project performance at two geographically separate bases (e.g., Fort Irwin, California and Fort Hood, Texas)? In other words concurrent, geographically separated projects are NOT required to be performed at separate geographic areas within the same parent base to meet the requirement at 2.5.3.2 (iii).

Corrected. Please refer to Section L 2.5.3.2. Physically separated bases. Physically separated, but not autonomous from its parent base (for example, a project on Eglin Main Base would be considered geographically separate from a project on an Eglin outlying Range).

5/19/2022 45

MACC RFI RESPONSE 13 MAY

2022 (RESPONSE #200)

Response to RFI #200 states that a 6% design fee shall not be violated but appears to not match FAR, DFARS, GAO, and DOD regulations. The 6% statutory limitation is only for the preparation of "designs, plans, drawings, and specifications" and does not apply to supplemental services such as pre‐engineering, survey, design analysis services, etc. In references 10 USC 7540, 10 USC 9540, 10 USC DFARS 236.606‐70.

and as clarified by EP 715‐1‐7, 4‐13 (1), (c), (3), and 48 CFR 836.606‐71 there are costs outside the 6%. Please revise and clarify.

Each design cost should be identified in the 50‐Div on the appropriate tab and can be broken out into direct and indirect design costs, and should demonstrate that you are not violating the 6% requirement on the applicable items. The total cost of the design and all elements should then be entered as a total cost on the CLIN structure tab of the 50‐Div.

5/19/2022 46

EGLIN AFB DESIGN GUIDE (ATFP

REQUIREMENTS)

Eglin AFB Design guide including section 18.8.6 are outdated and includes ATFP requirements that are not accurately reflected in UFC 4‐010‐

01. For example, the requirements are stated that new buildings and existing buildings are required to comply with items (a) through (c) however, the building is exempt due to being low occupancy. Please confirm that the requirements of the Eglin AFB Design Guide are not applicable where they're covered by a more recent UFC.

Most current UFCs will apply. See additional statement in Section 3.0. Design and construction will be in accordance with the most recent UFC, UFGS, AFI, and other base required standards and guidance.

5/19/2022 47

RFI responses regarding Stormwater Pond (RFI #s 71, 222, 224, 317, 383, 384, 385, 397, 425, 561, 592)

Please confirm if a stormwater management treatment pond is required? Below are references in Attachment L10 Statement of Work that are conflicting with the RFI responses stating to refer to Section 7. Plumbing (This question is a Civil matter) ‐See section 3.2 Site Development (Page 7) Paragraph B. last sentence states “A small stormwater treatment facility (pond) will be required to treat the new impervious runoff. Grading and Sodding will be required for the stormwater facility.”

‐ Section 3.2 Site Development (Page 8) Paragraph D Storm Drainage/Storm Water Management – last sentence “However, since the project is part of the larger development of Eglin AFB, a FDEP Environmental Permit will be required and a stormwater facility (pond) is required to be provided” ‐ See section 3.5 Civil (Page 13) first bullet point does not indicate a stormwater pond.

‐ See Section 3.7 Plumbing (Pgs. 18,19,20) no reference at all to a stormwater pond.

‐ See Section 3.13 Special Requirements (Chart on page 27) that states “a small stormwater management treatment pond will be required.

Refer to section 3.7 Plumbing for details” Again this is a CIvil matter, not Plumbing.

This project is Design‐Build, please refer to Section 3.7 in the Revised statement of work, specifically the figure on Page 20.

5/20/2022 69

RFI responses regarding Stormwater Pond (RFI #s 71, 222, 224, 317, 383, 384, 385, 397, 425, 561, 592)

Assuming a stormwater management treatment pond is required; does the stormwater retention have to account for the existing building?

Please refer to Section 3.2, section b. The new treatment pond will be required to treat the new impervious runoff.

5/20/2022 70

RFI repsponses regarding UXO Sweep (RFI #s 154, 173, 237, 285, 321, 337, 349, 379, 420, 447, 466 thru 476, 481 thru 490)

Please confirm depth should the UXO sweep be performed for the PEMB & Septic Field? IAW Section 3.13, UXO sweep is no longer required.

5/20/2022 71

RFI repsponses regarding UXO Sweep (RFI #s 154, 173, 237, 285, 321, 337, 349, 379, 420, 447, 466 thru 476, 481 thru 490)

Does the Government have any MMRP historical data of which the UXO Contractor should be aware while doing the UXO sweep? IAW Section 3.13, UXO sweep is no longer required.

5/20/2022 72

RFI repsponses regarding UXO Sweep (RFI #s 154, 173, 237, 285, 321, 337, 349, 379, 420, 447, 466 thru 476, 481 thru 490)

Please confirm the Government's expectations for the UXO contractor if UXO is found and identified for the following items:

1.) If not safe to move, blow in place/on site demolition? 2.) Removal to a holding area if considered safe to move? 3.) Call Eglin AFB for removal and disposal?

IAW Section 3.13, UXO sweep is no longer required.

5/20/2022 73 Please confirm whether the bidder needs to carry permit fees for the seed project or not. Permit fees are the responsibility of the contractor.

5/20/2022 74 Please confirm whether the bidder needs to carry inspection fees for the seed project or not. Inspection fees are the responsibility of the contractor.

5/20/2022 75 Please provide the revised Anticipated PoP duration for Design and build activities Please refer to Section 8.0 of the Revised SOW.

Proposals are due NLT 1200 on 8 June 2022 (per Amendment 004).

5/20/2022 77 Attachment L10 Revised SOW Section 3.7 indicates that the required septic tank is 500 gallons. Attachment L1 indicates pricing for a 1000 gallon septic tank. FDEP minimum septic tank sizing is 900 gallons. Please confirm which volume controls for pricing.

Corrected. Please refer figure in Section 3.7, Septic Tank and leach field detail.

5/20/2022 78 Attachment L10 Revised SOW Please confirm that Section 10, as well as provided As‐Builts, provide current location of existing utilities, and that paint markings in the field are not location of additional chilled water lines along West side of structure.

Section 10 and the As‐builts are the known locations of current utilities. A dig‐permit is required after award and any lines that need to be relocated will be addressed at that time. Paint markings observed are part of a different project and are being addressed and should not be considered in the scope of this project.

5/20/2022 79 Attachment L10 Revised SOW Best practice for a facility of this type is to provide an oil/water separator for environmental protection from harmful substances. Please confirm if an oil/water separator will be required as a part of this project.

Please refer to the Updated SOW, no OWS is considered.

5/20/2022 80 Attachment L10 Revised SOW Section 3.9 C

This is a follow‐up RFI which can have substantial cost impact on the project. Section 3.9 C in Attachment L10 Revised SOW does not clearly state if the existing Spectronics fire alarm system should be extended to cover the new system in the addition, or if the intent is to provide a new fire alarm system throughout the existing portion and the addition. Without clarification, the assumed approach will be to provide new fire alarm throughout the entire building, which will increase project cost. Please clarify specifically what approach should be taken.

IAW with Section 3.9 of the Revised SOW, the new fire alarm will be compatible with the existing system. Please also refer to Section 3.9 section c ‐ Bid Option CLIN 0003.

5/20/2022 81 On page 9 of the document entitled, “Attachment+L9+Supplemental+Info+Bldg+9460” There is a refence to Fire Protection systems (i.e., HEF) which I assume means high Expansion Foam and a Y in the next column. Does the new building require a High Expansion Foam System?

Attachment L9 was superseded by Amendment 002, and now has been completely replace with Attachment L11, Revised SOW Amed 004. No Fire Suppression System is required.

5/20/2022 82 Pages 12 and 22 (letter e) of the same document states no fire suppression is required due to the nature of the building. What is the actual requirement?

Attachment L9 was superseded by Amendment 002, and now has been completely replace with Attachment L11, Revised SOW Amed 004. No Fire Suppression System is required.

Attachment L1 50 Division Cost

Many of the pre‐filled items of work are not how CSI specifies the work. For example, all of the finishes are on the Division 6 Carpentry tab rather than the Division 9 Finishes.
