“ Submit a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) projects valued in the price range of $4M to $100M, completed or ongoing by your Team within the past 6 years to demonstrate experience in waterfront construction to include piers, wharfs, and docks.”

ANSWER: See Amendment Language Above

2. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): Currently, only Attachment B – Experience Information Form is required in the RFP requirements and not Attachment A- Experience Overview Sheet. Is this correct?

ANSWER: The Experience Information Form is a required form. Experience Overview Sheet is deleted. See Amendment Language Above

3. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): It would appear that Attachment J.1 Experience Information Form (EIF) exceeds the RFP-required 2 pages. Is it correct to assume that we are to limit the information in the required blocks to fit two pages?

ANSWER: Attachment J.1 Experience Information Form (EIF) has been revised, see Amendment Language Above.

4. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): In Factor 1: Corporate Experience, it indicates that we are to submit the Experience Information Form (EIF) for each project (construction and design), and on page 84 of 88 it notes we can change the EIF as long as it includes the minimum information listed. However, in Factor 1 b.2, it lists similar but in some cases different information for the design firms. Can we assume we can change the EIF for the design projects to provide this information (shown on page 83 of 88) for design firms and not the information on page 84 of 88 for construction projects?

ANSWER: Correct

Construction Team, Please provide clarification on how many total projects are allowed for the Construction Team. Is it five (5) projects total, of which those five (5) must meet the criteria of sections i-iii, or are i-iii separate categories with a maximum of 13 projects to be submitted?

ANSWER: Offeror is to submit no more than a total of 13 projects demonstrating the experience outlined in (i), (ii), and (iii).

6. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): Assuming the answer to question 5 is 13 maximum projects, if a project in Construction under Factor 1 a meets the criteria of at least two of the items (i), (ii), and (iii), does it have to be submitted in a separate EIF for each category or is it sufficient to note that compliance in the scope of work?

ANSWER: A separate EIF is not required. Offeror shall note the compliance in the scope of work.

7. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): In Factor 1 Corporate Experience, a.

Construction Team, item iii it states a maximum of 3 projects but does not give a minimum.

Please provide clarification on the minimum amount of required projects (if any).

ANSWER: There is no minimum established for item (iii).

8. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): In Factor 1 Corporate Experience, a.

Construction Team, if a project is used for Construction experience but is also used as one of the 3-5 projects required for Design experience, will it be shown in both sections (two EIFs for same project)?

ANSWER: If a single project is being used for Construction experience and Design experience, two EIFs should be submitted. One demonstrating the construction and the other demonstrating the design experience.

9. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): In Factor 1 Corporate Experience, a.

Construction Team, item i, it indicates that the five projects must be completed in the last 6 years. In item ii, it indicates ‘completed or ongoing within the past 5 years’. Please provide clarification – are the differences between these two items intentional (six years for item i, five years for item ii)? Note that instructions in Attachment J-1 indicate a six year criteria.

ANSWER: See Amendment Language Above.

10. Factor 1: Corporate Experience (TAB 1-A): In Factor 1 Corporate Experience, a. Design Team, item 2 does not indicate how recently the submitted Design projects should have been completed by posting of RFP. Please provide clarification, if any.

ANSWER: See Amendment Language Above

13. L.20 Proposal Submission Instructions: Paragraph L.20 (iv) requires VETS-4212 registration, stating “An email confirmation of submission can be requested and received by the offeror from the DOL website and submitted in the price proposal.” Is this required in the physical Phase I submission?

ANSWER: Yes

14. Factor 3 – Capacity to Support DHS/Coast Guard (TAB 1-C): In Volume 1 Factor 3 (e), is the letter from the surety to included within the 4 page limit?

ANSWER: The Government anticipates the letter from the surety being one page; therefore, it is included in the 4 page limitation for Factor 3.
