NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS/OFFERORS
This solicitation includes Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) building information. SBU documents provided under this solicitation are intended for use by authorized users only. In support of this requirement, GSArequires bidders/offerors to exercise reasonable care when handling documents relating to SBU buildinginformation per the solicitation.
REASONABLE CARE:
1. Limiting dissemination to authorized users. Dissemination of information shall only be made upon determination that the recipient is authorized to receive it. The criterion to determine authorization is need-to-know. Those with a need-to-know are those who are specifically granted access for the conduct of business on behalf of or with GSA. This includes all persons or firms necessary to do work at the request of the Government, such as architects and engineers, consultants, contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, and others that the contractor deems necessary in order to submit an offer/bid or to complete the work or contract, as well as maintenance and repair contractors and equipment service contractors.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the person or firm disseminating the information to assure that the recipient is an authorized user and to keep records of recipients.
Authorized users shall provide identification as set forth below:
Valid identification for non-Government users. Authorized non-Government users shall provide valid identification to receive SBU building information. The identification shall be presented and verified for each dissemination. Valid identification shall be all items (a) through (c), below, and including item (d), as necessary:
(a) A copy of a valid business license or other documentation granted by the state or local jurisdiction to conduct business. The license at a minimum shall provide the name, address, phone number of the company, state of incorporation, and the name of the individual legally authorized to act for the company. The business must be of the type required to do the work. A general contractor’s license may be substituted for the business license in states that issue such licenses. In the rare cases where a business license is not available from the jurisdiction, the information shall be provided and testified to by the submitter; and
(b) Verification of a valid DUNS Number against the company name listed on the business license or certification. Verification may be obtained through http://www.fpdc.gov, or by calling Dun & Bradstreet at 703-807-5078 to set up an account; and
(c) A Valid IRS Tax ID Number of the company requesting the information; and, as necessary,
(d) A Valid picture state driver’s license shall be required of person(s) picking up SBU documents. Phone verification must be made to a previously validated authorized user that the individual(s) picking up the documentation is authorized to do so by the company obtaining the documents. SBU documents will not be released to any individual or firm who has not, either previously or at the time of pickup, supplied the required documentation as outlined in paragraphs (a) through (c), above.
2. Retaining and destroying documents. The efforts required above shall continue throughout the entire term of the contract and for whatever specific time thereafter as may be necessary. Necessary record copies for legal purposes (such as those retained by the architect, engineer, or contractor) must be safeguarded against unauthorized use for the term of retention. Documents no longer needed shall be destroyed (such as after contract award, after completion of any appeals process or completion of the work). Destruction shall be done by burning or shredding hardcopy, and/or physically destroying CD’s, deleting and removing files from the electronic recycling bins, and removing material from computer hard drives using a permanent erase utility or similar software.
3. Term of Effectiveness. The efforts required above shall continue throughout the entire term of contract and for what specific time thereafter as may be necessary, as determined by the Government. Necessary record copies for legal purposes (such as those retained by the architect, engineer, or contractor) must be safeguarded against unauthorized use for the term of retention.
4. Written agreement of disposal. For all contracts using SBU building information, the contractor shall provide a written statement that he and his subcontractors have properly disposed of the SBU building documents, with the exception of the contractor’s record copy, at the time of Release of Claims to obtain final payment. Documents no longer needed shall be destroyed (such as after contract award, after completion of any appeals process or completion of the work). Destruction shall be done by burning or shredding hardcopy, and/or physically destroying CDs, deleting and removing files from the electronic recycling bins, and removing material from computer hard drives using a permanent erase utility or similar software.
The recipient acknowledges the requirement to use reasonable care, as outlined above, to safeguard the documents and, if not awarded, the contract (and at the completion of any protest/appeal process) will make every reasonable and prudent effort to destroy or render useless all SBU information received during the solicitation.
I agree that I will abide by this agreement and will only disseminate Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) building information to other authorized users under the conditions set forth above.

| Item No. |
| QUESTION |
| RESPONSE |
| 1 |
| Will the construction manager for Phase 1 for the Consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the St. Elizabeths Campus be excluded from consideration for the campus coordinator solicitation? |
| FAR Subpart 9.5 specifically addresses Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest. This subpart prescribes responsibilities, general rules, and procedures for identifying, evaluating, and resolving organizational conflicts of interest. The scope for the Campus Coordinator will include the administration of global issues pertaining to all three (3) phases for the project. The global issues will be relative to the oversight and management of interdependent projects. At a minimum, it is expected that there will be three (3) Architects of Record (one for each phase); three (3) Construction Management Firms (one for each phase), and over one hundred Construction Contractors (large and small). Each Construction Management (CM) professional services contract is intended to perform design phase (excluding actual design), procurement phase, construction phase, reimbursable, supplemental, claims, testing, and miscellaneous services under each phase. |
| 2 |
| Will the campus coordinator for the Consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the St. Elizabeths Campus be excluded from consideration for the Phase 2 and Phase 3 construction management solicitations? |
| 3 |
| SF 33 lists the proposal due date as July 1, 2010. The RFP on page 93 lists the due date as June 28, 2010. Which is correct? |
| Due date is July 1, will be updated. |
| 4 |
| Subsection L.8.2.3, Technical Proposal Contents, says that the technical proposal shall be no more than 75 pages, inclusive of the table of contents, charts, exhibits and any other materials. (1) Part One – Technical Proposal Requirements lists 8 pages of forms (for a joint venture, this would mean 16 pages of forms). (3) Part Three – Forms, requires SF 33 (plus any amendments), representations and certifications (16 pages) and GSA form 527 (24 pages for our joint venture. Thus approximately 50 of the 75 pages would be required forms. Is it GSA’s intent to limit Part Two to 75 pages or to move the form from the technical proposal to the price proposal? |
| 75 pages are just for the Technical portion. |
| 5 |
| Subsection L.8.2.3, Technical Proposal Contents, and Subsection 8.2.4, Price Proposal Contents, both require SF 33 (plus amendments) and representations and certifications. Does GSA want to see both forms in both proposals? |
| No, just the Pricing. |
| 6 |
| FACTOR 2: Past Performance of Firm, page 97, references a Past Performance Questionnaire at attachment 11. The RFP currently has no attachments. Will GSA supply the Past Performance Questionnaire? |
| Contracting Officer will supply forms. |
| 7 |
| Can GSA align the key personnel titles on p. 41 with the titles used on the pricing sheets in Section B? |
| Yes |
| 8 |
| In Section H, p. 42, is the webmaster/IT specialist analogous to the IT Coordinator or the assistant IT coordinator on the pricing sheets? |
| Yes |
| 9 |
| FACTOR 3: Key Personnel, p. 90, “resumes for key personnel shall not exceed three typed pages.” Does this statement mean three pages total for five resume or three pages each for five resumes? |
| 3 pages for each person. |
| 10 |
| Please define the difference between FACTOR 5: Small Disadvantaged Business Participation Plan, p. 100, with targets expressed as dollars and percentages of total contract value, and Price Proposal Tab 5, Subcontracting Plan? |
| See attached Sheet – SDB Participation Plan and SB Subcontracting Plan. |

It goes on to say that in the event the e-PM system is not available at the time of contract award the CC shall be responsible for for providing an e-PM system to GSA for use on the project. Will the government be responsible for the costs associated with licensing and implementation of a CC provided e-PM system? |

| 22 |
| 8. Section K (Reps & Certs) and SF33 are asked for in both Volumes I and II. Is this correct? If so, please confirm that these will not count towards the total page count, as these are not part of our typed submittal. |
| The documents will NOT count towards the page total. |
| 23 |
| 9. Pg. 6 Section B.3 reflects an effective contract period of base plus 6 option years for a potential 7 year contract period. |

| This will be a software program used for monitoring the campus programs scheduling requirements. |
| 25 |
| Pg. 22 Section C.4.10 Electronic Project Management System states that the GSA intends to implement a web-based ePM system prior to award of this contract. On Pg. 99 Under Resource Capacity, the RFP states: Explain the types of Information Management Systems, including ePM, to be used in this contract performance and describe the way you expect to utilize technology to its fullest extent to facilitate the design and construction. It is not clear if the GSA is providing an unknown system under this contract per provisions of Section C.4.10 or if the CC is proposing one under the requirements by stating which system the CC will use per Pg. 99 of the RFP under Resource Capacity. Please clarify. |
| The Government will specifiy and purchase the system when determined. |
| 26 |
| Pg. 94 of the RFP: Tab 5 - One (1) Schedule of Code of Business Ethics and Conduct Part III, Section J: There is no form/schedule included with the RFP with this title. Please provide and verify that this will not count towards the 90 page limit. |

| 33 |
| Pg. 97, Factor 2 refers to a Past Performance Questionnaire, Section L Attachment 11. This attachment has not been provided. |
| Questionnnaire was provided under Amendment No. One |
| 34 |
| Pg. 94 of the RFP: Tab 1 - One (1) Procurement Integrity Certification for Procurement Officials, for each person assigned to the Contract: To include one page for each person assigned to the contract is 5 pages. |
| These will not count towards the 90 page limit. |
| 35 |

| 36 |
| Section L.8.2.2, page 94, States that the page limitation for the proposal is 90 pages and Section L.8.2.3 states that the page limitation for the Techncial Proposal is 75 pages. Is the page limitation for the Cost Proposal 15 pages? If so, this is not consistent with the Section L.8.2.4, Price Proposal Contents, whose required contents exceed a 15 page limit. Please provide clarification and guidance. |
| 90 page limit is a guideline. |
| 37 |
| Section L.8.2.5, Evaluation Criteria, Factor 4, Staffing Plan requires an extensive and detailed breakout of manpower requirements by project phase by company by month over the 7 year period of performance, but only allocates 2 pages (8 ½ x 11 inch 12-point text). Please provide clarification on the requirements and page count. Will 11 x 17 inch foldout be allowed for the staffing plan? |
| Yes. |
| 38 |
| Please confirm the requirement that the proposal shall be double-spaced. The Evaluation Factor subsection guidance does not mention double-space requirements. Additionally, the Government provided forms and certifications are not double spaced, is it the Government’s intent that we re-format the forms to comply with the double space requirement? |
| Double spaced except for resumes, if desired. |
| 39 |
| Paragraph G.3 defines a requirement for pre-invoice meetings to determine billable amounts and invoice documentation requirements. This requirement seems inconsistent within the context of a FFP effort. Please provide clarification? |
| No, that is CMs scope. |
| 40 |
| Paragraph B.7 (a) - Please provide clarification on the MOL and total contract value. A MOL of $5M/yr for a 7 year POP equates to a total max contract value of $35M vice $30M. Is the MOL/yr or total contract value mis-stated? |
| S/B $35M. |
| 41 |
| Section L.8.2.5, Evaluation Criteria, Factor 4, Staffing Plan states “The staffing plan should exclude manpower for supplemental services, and do not include any manpower for miscellaneous services, and/or post construction claim services.” Are “miscellaneous services” the same as “other services” identified in Section C, Scope of Work, Paragraph C.3.1, “The CC may also be tasked with other services as needed such as value engineering, inspections, and financial services by example.”? |

These requirements will exclude commercial real estate firms and other non-typical government contractors from participating. These types of firms do not meet these requirements. Given there is nothing government-unique to the nature of the services and they are the same as bought by non-government property owners every day, we would suspect this solicitation would be on a commercial item basis and exempt Cost and pricing data and exempt from those government-unique cost accounting requirements. - especially at a subcontractor level. Please advise if these requirements will be modified. |
| Not at this time. |

Please advise as to which subcontractors are being referred to, i.e., the CC's subcontractors, GSA's other consultants, the CM's subcontractors and consultants or the general contractors’ subcontractors?
