QUESTIONS - ANSWERS

14 May 2014 Question 1: PAST PERFORMANCE - does the government want the past performance information to be provided at the Master Contract level or at the individual task order level?

Answer: To meet the past performance requirements listed in Section L, provide information at the Master contract level.

Question 2: Page 70 of subject RFP cites that relevancy will be determined using the “Past Performance Information Forms (PIFs).” Is it the government’s intent to provide the PIF template?

Answer: An amendment will be processed to change the PIF reference above to reflect Past Performance Questionnaire.

Question 3: Factor II, Volume II – PAST PERFORMANCE is limited to 20 pages. Section 3.1.2 states that the maximum number of Past Performance references provided is 10 – this works out to be 2 pages per reference. Section 3.1.3 requests that for the Past Performance references provided in 3.1.2, that a summary for each reference be provided, and each reference should not exceed 1 page per reference. Please clarify as it seems contradictory.

Answer: An amendment will be processed to change the reference limitation page from 1 page to 2 pages in paragraph 3.1.3.

Question 6: Note on page 58 reads, “One of the two personnel identified above (Project Superintendent and Project Foreman) shall be on site at all times…” With a potential of 20 task orders concurrently on going, please confirm that this means that one of these two personnel have to be on-station at all times that work is ongoing but not necessarily at the building or location where the work is occurring.

Answer: One of the two personnel identified in paragraph 2.1.2.2, Project Superintendent and Project Foreman, shall be on-station at all times.

Question 11: Subfactor 2 – Management Plan and Qualifications cites that the plan should be IAW Section 3.1 of the SABER SOW. Should the plan also be IAW with Section 29.2 of the SABER SOW? And if so, please confirm that 29.2.1 through 29.2.5 are to be addressed in the Quality Control Plan that is to be submitting by the winning company post-award, and not in the Management Plan. The clarification is being asked due to the last sentence in 29.2 using the word “proposal” and not “submittal”.

Answer: No, the Management Plan should be IAW Section 3.1 of the SABER SOW only. The last sentence of paragraph 29.2 has been changed from “proposal” to “submittal”.
