DELETE Paragraph VI.B (1) and REPLACE with the following language:

VI.B Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Evaluation Process

(1) The Government will evaluate technical proposals on a pass/fail basis to determine if an offer meets the minimum technically acceptable requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any one factor makes the entire proposal unacceptable. Any costs incurred by offerors in preparing or submitting offers are the offerors' sole responsibility; the United States will not reimburse any offeror for any proposal preparation costs. The government will evaluate the lowest priced offer received first and if deemed technically acceptable the award will be made to that firm and no other proposals will be reviewed. The next lowest priced proposal will be evaluated if the lowest price is technically unacceptable and if deemed technically acceptable the award will be made to that firm. This process will continue until a technically acceptable proposal is identified for award.

ITEM D: DELETE in its entirety “Pricing Sheet” as issued in the Amendment #1, and

INSERT the attached “Revised Pricing Sheet dated 21 June 2016”.

Pre-Award (RFI) Questions and Answers (Questions 1 through 8)

1. QUESTION:

Specification Section 32 84 00 Part 1 1.1 A states “All planted areas, street trees, and lawn areas are to be irrigated on grade on the east, north, and west sides of the building, and in the interior courtyard.” Please confirm that there is no interior courtyard work in this SOW.

RESPONSE: Custom fabricate per 057000 (GBR Architects)

3. QUESTION: Please specify manufacturer for the metal fence panels.

RESPONSE: Custom fabricate per 057000 (GBR Architects)

4. QUESTION: Please clarify the existing pavers construction details.

Good)

5. QUESTION: Please provide a specific location for the jersey barrier relocation

RESPONSE: Location will be within 50 miles of the National Capital Region.

6. QUESTION: Please clarify the anticipated start of construction.

RESPONSE: Award is subject to the availability of funding. As such the Government would like to award around August/September 2016.

RFP AMENDMENT 003 dated 21 June 2016

8. QUESTION: Is a sump pump needed for the hydraulic bollard system?

RESPONSE: The basis of design bollards does not require a sump pump, as the drain out of the basin is a gravity drain. The basis of design bollard systems uses a biodegradable oil instead of hydraulic fluid. If a different yet equal product is used, an oil/water separator will be required.
