Question # Contractor Question Government Response

I just wanted to verify whether or not the proposal requires a past performance section/narrative

Past performance is not a Evaluation factor for this requirement. However, prospective contractors must meet responsibility requirements in accordance with

FAR 9.104-1 and at the discretion of the Contracting Officer may request additional evidence to support a determination of responsibility.

Is there a past performance questionnaire requirement for the US Air

Force Paving Project-Solicitation Number: FA8201-17-R-0007? There is not a past performance questionnaire for this requirement.

Is the performance bond of $5million required per task order? or is it a blanket performance bond for the entire contract that needs to be in place for the duration of 5 years?

A $5M performance bond is not required per task order, however a $5M blanket performance/payment bond is required to cover each task order for the life of the contract (anticipated duration is up to 5 years). If the $5M dollar threshold is reached or if the bond expires, a new $5M bond will be required without a break in coverage.
