Questions_Answers for Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC)

1. Attachment 13-0_TO_IFB_B216 references attachment; 13-3 Concept Document, 65 pgs., 13-7 SCDHEC NOI Package 9 pgs., and 13-9 Photos 28 pgs. do not appear that these attachments were included on FBO. Please provide these documents.

FBO Announcement posted on 4 October stated that Attachments 4, 13-3, 13-7 and 13- 9 were unable to be uploaded to FBO due to file size. Offerors were instructed to submit an email to laurie.harvey.1@us.af.mil, or randall.may@us.af.mil and request the docs be sent to them. Once the Government receives the request we are able to transmit the requested attachments via DoD SAFE.

2. It appears that attachment 4 was not included on FBO. Please provide this document.

3. Please provide current “as-built” drawings of Building 216.

Attachment 13-3 Concept Documents are the most recent and accurate docs for B216.

If you reference the Drawing Index you will see under Architectural heading a First, second and third floor Demo plan. Additionally, under Mechanical you will also see Demo Plans. These drawings were performed Feb 2014 and would be the most current drawings the government has.

4. In the “FA480319BA0003_Attachments13-0 TO IFB B216” document it states all questions are due by Thursday, October 17, 2019 at 11:59 AM ET. Are these questions which are expected to be generated from the site walk being held 10 October 2019? The Solicitation on Page 57 OF 61 states that “All questions must be received no later than 10 October 2019” – please clarify.

Section L paragraph 3.4 has been updated. Date has changed from 10 October 2019 to 17 October 2019.

5. Is a copy of the firm’s 8a approval letter required to be submitted with the proposal? If so, what volume?

As part of the Government’s due diligence this information will be requested by the Government to the SBA. However, Offeror’s are more than welcome to include their 8a approval letter. If offeror determines to include it please insert in Volume II, Contract Documentation.

6. For the FOPR – B216 Seed Project– will the government authorize the Site Superintendent to serve as the Quality Control Manager and Site Safety?

7. In the conference room during the site visit it was mentioned that the Government has an annual work plan set for 2020 concerning this MACC that you expect to be funded. Have you identified a yearly amount for this MACC that you expect to award and the 6 contractors will be competing on?

The Government has budgeted for approximately $53M in projects for FY20. Remainder of year’s approx. half of the initial year. However, as stated below in the answer to question 8; budget constraints play a role and additionally Air Force Funds for the modernization of base infrastructure also play a role. Government cannot provide assurance that the budget amount is what will actually be funded.

8. Do you expect to average 50 million a year for the life of this MACC?

The government does not expect an average of $50M a year over the life of the MACC.

Amount expended each year will be dictated by budget constraints during that FY. The government does anticipate an influx of funds for modernization of base infrastructure.

This is Air Force wide and there is no way to determine at this point what amount of funds will be slated for Shaw for the modernization of our infrastructure.

a. Task Order Magnitude will be identified on each FOPR issued. Please reference FAR Clause 52.215-9 which highlights order limitations.

10. In FBO the following attachments are missing:

b. Are these coming soon or should these be considered omitted?

Please reference answer provided under question 1 above.

11. In FBO there is Amendment 02 – but no Amendment 01. Will there be an Amendment 01 posted still?

In order to keep everything together on FBO the government elected to continue posting under the Pre-Solicitation notice that was originally issued on 21 September 2019 notifying offerors that we were getting ready to issue the Solicitation for the

MACC.

On 1 October 2019 Amendment01 was issued for the Pre-Solicitation Notice providing Offerors the Base Access Request Doc to populate and submit.

On 3 October 2019 Amendment02 was issued for the Pre-Solicitation Notice notifying offerors that the Government intended to post the Solicitation the next day.

On 4 October 2019 Amendment03 was issued for the Pre-Solicitation Notice posting the Solicitation FA480319BA003.

None of the Amendments just mentioned related to the Pre-Solicitation Notice impact the actual Solicitation.

As of 16 October 2019 there has only been 01 Amendment made to Solicitation, FA480319BA003, which contractors are required to acknowledge when they submit their Bids.

Additionally, any further amendments to the actual Solicitation, FA480319BA003, will also need to be acknowledged when offeror’s submit their Bids.

12. In FBO there is no SF 30 for Amendment 02. Will there be one posted still?
