Question 6. The separate overall phasing plan (see 2.0.10 „Construction phasing”, S. 45 of 52, RFP) should include all Government activities and interaction.

Please describe which kind of activities and interaction (that are not part of the contractor’s responsibility) is meant. Do you mean processes which starts after the completion and handover of the finished building? We do not have any information about it and so it is not possible for us to create a separate phasing plan. Please provide further information about the structure of the plan.

ANSWER: Per Solicitation, Section L, Para C:“A separate overall phasing plan shall be developed for the Government’s use only to inform, educate, and track Government actions. It should include interaction of Government activities such as move times, swing space durations, and Government outfitting and training activities. This plan shall further delineate the coordination of required actions of the Government that are not a part of the contractor’s responsibility or contract.” (2.0.10 „Construction phasing”, S. 45 of 52, RFP)

There are many Government actions outside of the contractor’s control that may affect the overall phasing of the project. There is no all-inclusive list for the MACC seed project, but a few examples would be: waiting for a digging permit and utility coordination (This has been greatly simplified by assuming there are no utilities in new construction area, but there may still be utility coordination in the project) tenant coordination (as stated at the site visit, the tenants will be vacant, so this is greatly simplified) and processing of DD1354 after the project is complete.

Please include Government actions you know will be outside of your contractual responsibilities, but still need coordination or over site. Again, there is no complete comprehensive list and anything reasonable will be deemed acceptable.
