14. On page 54 of the RFP, under the heading Volume II Past Performance, paragraph V., it states that a great deal of the past performance is to be evaluated through Past Performance Questionnaires. Points of Contact typically do not like to answer PPQs if an official review, such as a CCASS or CPARS, already exists for a referenced project. Would the government accept CCASS or CPARS in lieu of a completed PPQ? Please clarify.

a. Yes, the offeror may submit anything that is deamed recent and relevant to include CCAS, CPARS, etc. However the government already has access and will obtain reports based on information submitted in accordance with Section L (i-iv). Para v. states past performance questionnaires will be used in conjunction will all other sources of information, i.e. PPIRS, CCASS. In addition, paragraph C of Section M states “(1) past and present efforts provided by the offeror (using questionnaires, forwarded by the offeror to past or current customers) and (2) data independently obtained from other Government (i.e. PPIRS, FAPIIS) and commercial sources.” Section L para i thru iv on how to submit contract (job) specific information and the government will retrieve past performace accordingly.

13. Where do the tables and chairs in the dining tents come from?

a. Refer to section 01010, on page 4, in paragraph 2.7.3 stating tables and chairs will be provided by the renovation contractor.

12. Do we move the tables and chairs that are shown in the Dining Tents from Western Winds?

a. No, existing furniture will not be used. Refer to section 01010, on page 4, in paragraph 2.7.3 stating tables and chairs will be provided by the renovation contractor.

11. I do not find any plumbing lines or storage tanks for the Wash Station or Serving Line Tent. How will this be accomplished?

a. Formal amendment will be issued to change specifications and add cold water and waste lines to the temporary facility drawing.

10. What does Short Term Storage mean?

a. Refer to section 01010, on page 6, in paragraph 2.8.1. Note, short term storage is provided to enable the Government to easily access furnishings/equipment during the contract renovation while long term storage is intended to be in storage for the duration of the contract.In addition, para 2.3 states to the fact that the contractror is responsible to secure any and all storage trailers whether long or short term.

9. Section 01010 specifies the G.C. is to furnish and install the Serving Line Tent equipment. Is the G.C.

to relocate the equipment, instead? However, Plan Sheet SP-103 notes that at the Serving Line Shelter "THE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THIS CONTRACT." Further, the inventory sheets show items relocated to the Cressman tent. Please clarify.

a. Per the specifications, Section 01010, para 2.7.3 states that the serving line equipment is contractor provided. This is an error and will be corrected in a formal amendment. Contractor will be installing government provided equipment in accordance with attachment “C” of this solicitation.

7. Drawing sheet CS-001: "Contractor storage area is prohibited in the QDM zone." What is QDM?

a. QDM is Quantity Distance Measurement. That particular area of the base has a mandatory standoff distance, but does not impact this renovation.

6. I do not understand "No additional time will be allowed for concurrent construction of any awarded CLIN items," from section 01010 page 1 par. 2.1. What is CLIN?

a. CLIN is “Contract Line Item Number”. CLIN’s are each line item on the solicitation. CLINs are represented by each item listed in schedule B of the SF1442.

5. The Demolition Plan does not show removal of existing flooring, yet new carpet and other flooring is scheduled. Would you please clarify?

a. On Sheet AID-101, page 15 of 88, of the drawings, under “GENERAL NOTES”, number 3, it states “Protect the carpet in the dining area during construction.” On Sheet ASH-602, page 25 of 88, of the drawings, under the “FINISH SCHEDULE”, the flooring in the dining rooms is indicated to remain.

4. Concerning moving long & short term storage. Need clarification of what is stored off-site, what is stored in Cressman Building and in the tents, Section 01010, page 6, par. 2.8 is confusing. Attachment A has columns for which I don’t know the meaning, such as “Move to WW Renovation Long-Term storage area.” I thought that was off-site; shouldn’t it read “Move from WW…”?

a. The column “Move to WW Renovation Long-Term storage area” means that items designated by an “X” in this column will be moved to the long-term storage trailers provided by the contractor. In Section 01010, paragraph 2.8.1, final sentence “There are no short term or long term storage facilities available at Goodfellow.” However, if needed, there are areas where the contractor can place storage trailers.

3. I am concerned about the constructability of the concrete work in the crawl space. Would gunnite be acceptable?

a. No gunnite would not be acceptable as a substitute for concrete at the containment trench on sheet S-101. The use of non-structural concrete per sheet S-105, detail 5 is required.

2. What is “SIGNAL CODE:A”?

a. Signal code is to indicate if multiple “ship to”/”payment” locations will be used. In this case there are no real deliverables, but the block has to be filled so signal code A is used on all CLINs.

Signal code A means the ship to address and the bill to address are both the requisitioner.

Other codes would be used if you were delivering items to another location and paying at the base. The current contract writing system requires this entry be completed.

1. On the SOLICITATION, OFFER, AND AWARD form, paragraph 17. AMOUNTs states :See schedule of prices. I do not find a place for the total. Also, it appears that many items are duplicated, e.g. ITEM NOS 0002 and 0002AA.

a. There is no total amount line. You will only fill out each individual line items. CLINs 0001 and 0002 are informational CLINs only and broken out further into the pricing CLINs 000XAA and 000XAB. You can tell the difference by if they have a quantity and unit. Informational CLINs will not have a quantity and unit but priced CLINs will. Please fill out priced CLINs and not the informational CLINs. Total price may be entered in block 22 (page 2) of the SF 1442.
