Reference (Sect/Para/Page) QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

PPQ, attachment J-6 However PPQs is required to submit, if we try to use a past performance of construction controlled by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) of Japanese

Government, they may not answer to PPQ individually for this solicitation as they issue "Ukeoikoujiseisekihyouteisyo" and

"Tourokunaiyoukakaninsyo" by Construction Records Information

Systems (CORINS). For such a reason, can we provide these documents issued by Japanese Government as a equivalent of

PPQs?

The PPQs will not be accepted directly from the offeror. The

PPQs must be submitted to our office by the client/reference.

The offeror is solely responsible for following up with clients who have been requested to send PPQs. Please see solicitation page 43, Section L, B.3.(c). In addition, CORINS is not an equivalent form of past performance to the PPQ or

CPARS. Depending on the information provided in the reports from CORINS, these documents may or may not be used for evaluation. That discretion will be left up to the

Contracting Officer upon receipt of the documents.

PPQ, attachment J-6 Are we correct in understanding that the submission due date of

PPQs was extended from 21 Aug 17 to 28 Aug 17 by 03:00PM as same as proposal due date?
