# Question Date

Submitted Response

1 In regards to the RFP for FA4407‐14‐R‐0001 MACC at Scott AFB, IL, the instructions say that there will be awards made to 8(a) offerors as well as Small Business offerors. Now, the 8a offerors must have a registered office in Illinois or Missouri. But does this also apply to the Small Business offerors? Or can the Small Business offerors be based anywhere in the United States?

24 March 14

That is correct; the geographic restriction applies to 8(a) offerors only. This geographic restriction does not apply to small businesses.

2 Our Team is starting on our submission for the MACC IDIQ at Scott AFB and want to ensure that we understand the set aside. We are a certified SDVOSB serviced by the Kentucky District office. We are NOT an 8(a). Would we still qualify to bid for a position as one of the five (5) small business general construction contractors?

4 The SOW 2.0.B.1 states our proposal is to include a survey to identify asbestos and lead paint for the proposed work area. If we are to do this we will have cut into the roof and various other places to get samples.

Who is responsible for the repairs to the sample areas.

And this statement means that each contractor bidding this work has to conduct their own survey. Please clarify.

26 March 14 Please include in your proposal the total cost to conduct an environmental survey of the proposed work area. The environmental survey (including obtaining any samples) will be conducted "after award".

Updated on 27 March 2014@0949 5 The first page of the RFP item B states four 8a contractors and five small business contractors are to be selected for this MACC. However, on the same page item C states the 8a firms are to have a bona fide office

26 March 14 The geographical restriction applies to the 8(a) contractors only.

Responses to Requests for Information (RFI) FA4407‐14‐R‐0001, Multiple Award Construction Contract within the geographical area. Does this also apply to the other 5 small businesses?

6 Solicitation, SF 1442, Block 13, item B states that an offer guarantee is required; Sample Project RFP page 2 of 11, item #5 states an offer guarantee is not required.

Can you please clarify if a bid bond is required for the Sample Project?

26 March 14 Please reference Section L: Instructions to Offerors; Para L‐1.10, "Note to Offerors: Funds are NOT currently available for the sample project. No award of a task order will be made until funds are available. In the event the sample project is funded, Performance and Payment bonds are required no later than 10 calendar days after award of a task order. Offerors providing less than 120 calendar days for Government acceptance after the date offers are due may not be considered and may be rejected.

8 Section L‐2.1 States the response shall consist of two (2) separate parts: Part I – Contract Documents; Part II – Technical Narrative; and Part III – Past Performance Information. Should this read three(3) separate parts or are we to not submit one of the three?

26 March 14 There are actually three parts: : Part I – Contract Documents; Part II

– Technical Narrative; and Part III – Past Performance Information.

Please submit three parts.

9 Requirement: A cover sheet indicating section number, section title, copy number, RFP identification and the offeror’s name shall be prepared for each section and the sections are to be paper clipped etc. Since these sections are also included in specific Parts (such as Section G and Annual Reps & Certs are included in Part 1 Contract Documents) are we to clip the Parts together to include these paper clipped sections?
