HE125426RE015 Daily Commute Student Transportation Services for Ansbach SOLICITATION - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (Q&A)

Item # Subject RFP or Attachment Reference Question/Confirmation/Comment Answers/Responses

01 Past Performance Questionnaire Attachment 4

Does the Offeror's Reference have to fill out Attachment 4, PPQ Evaluation 1-10 (because only 1-6 is mentioned above) and also the Brief Description as well as problems and resolutions, or only Evaluation 1-6?

In accordance with the instructions in Attachment 4 (Past Performance Questionnaire) AMD 0001, the Offeror must complete the “To be completed by Offeror” section prior to providing the PPQ to its reference/customer.

The Offeror’s reference/customer must complete the PPQ evaluation section in its entirety, including questions 1–10, as well as the brief description, including problems encountered and resolutions if applicable, and return the completed PPQ directly to the Government to the email addresses identified on the form.

02 Volume II - Past Performance Attachment 3

According to Volume II, I understand that I am required to complete Attachment 3.

From my understanding, this attachment refers to the same contracts that I ask our clients to evaluate using Attachment 4 (Present and Past Performance Questionnaire).

Could you please confirm whether this understanding is correct?

Yes. Attachment 3 identifies the contracts/references submitted for evaluation.

AMD0001_Attachment 4_PPQ are to be completed by the Offeror’s Reference/Customer.

03 Volume II - Past Performance Attachment 3

I would like to clarify whether I need to submit a separate document containing the reference information, or if the information provided through Attachment 4 is sufficient.

Yes. The Offeror must submit Attachment 3 (Volume II – Past Performance Proposal) as part of the proposal. AMD0001_Attachment 4_PPQ is completed by the reference/customer and supplements Attachment 3; it does not replace the requirement for the Offeror to submit Attachment 3.

04 Volume II - Past Performance Attachment 3

Do I need to submit Attachment 3 for each subcontractor to evaluate their performance as well, or are both Attachments 3 and 4 required for each subcontractor?

Offerors do not need to submit a separate Attachment 3 for each subcontractor. The Prime Offeror submits a single Attachment 3 (Volume II – Past Performance Proposal) that includes the required references. As stated in the solicitation:

“The Prime Offeror must provide at least one (1) past performance reference in which it performed either as the Prime Contractor or a Subcontractor/Teaming Partner.”

For proposed subcontractors/teaming partners, the Prime Offeror shall include at least one (1) past performance reference for each in Attachment 3, not to exceed a total of two (2) subcontractors or teaming partner references overall as clarified by Amendment 0001. Attachment 4 (PPQ), is completed by the reference/customers provided in Attachment 3 and supplements Attachment 3; it does not replace Attachment 3.

05 Volume I - Technical Attachment 2 Where should the answer to the highlighted (yellow) question be entered?

Responses to mandatory questions marked in yellow shall be entered in Column C. If Columns C and D are merged, enter the response in the merged cell.

Volume IV -

Representations and Certifications

Enclosure 3

I would like to ask if it is allowed to fill out the attachment “Letter of Commitment” by hand, since the signature is in handwritten anyway.

The requirements for completing the Letter of Commitment are addressed in the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under FAR 52.212 1, Section C, Proposal Content and Format Instructions table. Please refer to the solicitation for details.
