ITEM B:

DELETE the entire RFQ package as previously issued and INSERT the attached revised RFQ package in lieu thereof. Changes from the original package included clarification to RFQ attachments, minor typographical errors and clarification to select Evaluation Factors.

ITEM C:

The following Questions and Answers are hereby made a part of this RFQ.

Q1. Please provide list of ineligible firms.

A1: Please visit www.epls.gov for a list of debarred contractors for federal government work.

Q2. Attachments 1-4 were not included.

A2: Please visit Fedbizopps website for copies of attachments.

Q3. Are the relevant projects for the Key personnel included in the 4 page resume? Or is there no page limit for this section.

A3: The relevant projects for key personnel are NOT part of the 4 page resume limit. The only limits on relevant projects are not to submit more than 4 or less than 1.

Q4. On page 11 of the RFQ (b.1.a), Lead Designer Profile lists requirements that seem to apply to portfolio examples. On page 12, under Lead Designer Portfolio, the requirements seem to apply to Design Profile. Is it possible that these two headings have been inadvertently reversed?

A4: Yes they were.

Q5. For purposes of Phase 1 proposal, does GSA have any concerns with the Offeror shown as both firms on the Organization Chart?

A5: No. However, this should only be shown if you have legally entered into a partnership agreement/ joint venture contract with one another. If this is not the case, then GSA does take issue with Offeror shown as both firms.

Q6. The RFP requests a completed SF 330 for the lead A/E firm. Is it the GSA's intent that the SF 330 address the entire design team?

A6: The Offeror shall complete SF330, Parts I and II for the prime A/E and its major subcontractors, e.g., Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Fire Protection, Landscape Architect, Historic Preservation Architect, Blast Protection Engineering and Acoustical.

Q7. In the event that the SF 330 duplicates information with the remainder of the proposal (for example, key personnel resumes), is it appropriate to provide this information in both places, or would the GSA allow a statement on the SF330 such as “Please refer to the RFP response, Section XX”?

A7: Please provide information in BOTH places.

Q8. Can the GSA identify any specific criteria for Section H?

A8: Please visit Fedbizopps website for copies of attachments.

Q9. Additionally, I was wondering what the status was of uploading the Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ’s) to the FBO website, we still have not seen anything?

A9: Please visit Fedbizopps website for copies of attachments.

Q10. Are the four attachments are missing?

A10. They were initially. Please visit Fedbizopps website for copies of attachments.

Q14. Will the firms selected from Phase 1 receive a Building Information Model (BIM) done by the Perkins + Will team for the bridging documents?

A14: No.

Q15. Could you please provide the protocol for the government's response to questions in terms of turn-around time, and method for posting? Also, is email the appropriate means for the submission of the questions?

A15: Turn around will generally be 24-48 hours. Reponses will be posted on Fedbizopps. Email is an appropriate means for submitting questions.

Q16. Under item #2.2. (Most Relevant Project Summary (MRPS), the first sentence reads "that the key personnel of the Offeror alone, or its GC alone, or it’s A/E have worked together." Is the intent of this MRPS section to demonstrate the extent to which the key personnel have worked together within each firm?

A16: Yes. It is also applicable for inter-team key personnel having worked together, e.g., Project Manager from A-E has worked with the Superintendent from GC on a 300,000 SF project.

Q17. Will a site walk be arranged at any point by GSA with the potential offerors for Phase 1?

A17: No. GSA will only offer/sponsor a site visit with firms invited to participate under Phase II.

Q18. Could you clarify if the Remote Inspection Facility (R.I.F.) on the west side of the site and / or the central plant on the east side of the site will be part of the scope of work for this submission? If so, could you outline the extent of the work that will be required?

A18: The RIF will be part of this scope of work. There will be less than $30.0 million of work in Central Utility Plant (CUP), boilers and chillers, under this solicitations. Drawings will be provided.
