Barlovento LLC	Design	“The contractor shall provide a complete 65% construction design which ensures the successful completion of the Demonstration Project..”. We respectfully request that the 65% design is limited to a 35% submission. A 65% design submission for this size of demonstration project will typically cost the Small Business Construction Contractor approximately $10,000-$12,000 from the Architectural Engineer Firm. The majority of all A/E firms will not provide a 65% design for a proposal without the associated fee. This is an extreme cost burden on all Small Business’s providing proposals for this contract. We respectfully request that this requirement is changed.	Provide a 65% design submittal as part of your proposal. This design submittal is for a demonstration project and DOES NOT represent the usual requirement.

Barlovento LLC	Design	The Statement of Work (SOW), Attachment 2 paragraph 5. g. Specifications states, “If required by the DO, provide ….” the specification by using the appropriate Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). a) does the DO require specifications for the 65% design of the Demonstration Project Task Order? b) if yes, then may the offeror utilize standard commercial design specifications in lieu of the UFGS specifications for the Demonstration Project Task Order since the time period for 65% design is very short and it takes a lot of time and expense to edit the UFGS specifications?	No specifications requested for this demonstration project.
SEI Group, Inc.	Design Cost	Request clarification as to how Design Costs for the “Demonstration” project are to be identified and presented. Even though proposal prep costs are not “reimbursable,” if this project is awarded, the DD Form 1354 will need to capture design, construction and SIOH costs. If the costs associated with preparing the 65% design submittal are not included with the cost proposal, how will Government determine total project cost?	The 1354 is the Real Property Transfer Record that the contractor must file at the end of the project, if awarded. The cost of this design/build task order, if awarded, will be recorded in the 1354 as the total amount.
SEI Group, Inc.	Design Cost	Reference question 3 above, how will the Government evaluate cost proposals if some offerors include proposed design costs and other offerors only include design after the 65%.

SEI Group, Inc.	Design Cost	Evaluation Factor 1 (page 70 of 76) states that the Bond and NM Gross Receipts Tax will not be included in the determination of the “Lowest Price” portion of the LPTA evaluation. The AF Form 3052 does not provide for NMGRT or bond costs. How does the Government prefer to have these costs provided/presented for the “Demonstration” project?	The amounts for NMGRT and bond will be determined at the time of award of the demo task, if funded. There is no need to include these costs in this proposal.
