Pre-proposal Conference Q&A Amendment 02 - 7-22-2015

Q1.

In reviewing the solicitation, we have found that several of the links in the solicitation are inoperable. Specifically, the inventory links on page 188 and the PM guide on page 189 don’t work. Can the Government either fix the links or post the documents to the FBO site? That way contractors will have adequate information with which to develop their proposals.

Q2.

In addition, would the Government consider a one week proposal due date extension to allow Offerors additional time to view the information once the links are fixed?

Through the solicitation, H.15 is referenced as (H.15. Personnel Qualifications) Will the Government please provide H.15. Personnel Qualifications?

Will the Government please publish Attachment 4?

Please provide the incorporated SCA wage determination as it is not included in the solicitation.

Are these hours to be proposed in the FFP CLIN’s 0001 through 0004 or kept separate in B.7 Price Schedule?

If it is separate from the FFP why is there only one year to provide a price?

Please confirm that if they are not included in the FFP CLIN’s 0001 through 0004 that the price will not be included in the schedule within SF1449.

A8.

Price should be included with your FFP.

Note 3 states the standard coefficient is the markup to be applied to the base year of the contract. Does GSA expect that the coefficient is already applied into the FFP CLIN’s 0001 through 0004 price?

A9.

Yes, it is applied to the total of 0001-0004

Is it GSA’s intent to have one monthly price for each year of the contract to be included in the Unit Column as well as in the unit price in the schedule within SF1449?

A10.

The intent was to have only the monthly cost of the base year

C.35.6 requires training semiannually and after two Re-Tuning cycles the CO or their designee will determine the appropriate frequency of the Re-Tuning effort but in H.14.2 states a 5-6 hour training and a refresher training every two years. The training requirements are conflicting. Please provide how often the employees would require Re-Tuning training and/or refresher training.

A12.

C.35.6 is the requirement, not a description of the training; those performing the requirement must be trained using the link listed in 35.6, but 35.6 states the requirement that the buildings be re-tuned and lists the frequency of the actual re-tuning. The link provides the training and the re-tuning procedure.

Is the contractor required to have an onsite supervisor at each building or just one onsite supervisor for the contract as a whole?

A13.

The Contractor is required to have a project manager

A14.

Yes

A15.

Yes, although the CO or Designee must be notified that this will be required.

First paragraph identifies Management and Staffing Plan as an evaluation factor component but this is not mentioned in Section L.5 which only requires Past Performance, Experience, and Cost. Will the Government clarify instructions for the Management and Staffing Plan if such is required with the proposal?

A16.

c. Management & Staffing Plan This factor considers the Offeror’s management and staffing plan. The Offeror must describe methods and positions which will be used to staff the contract requirements, including major sub-contractors, and corporate support contract to include resumes of the Chief Engineer and Project Manager.
