Paragraph states that contractor shall appoint a FSO in a cleared facility and The prime vendor, and all subcontractors, are required to possess a Facility Clearance Level of Secret or above. Is this MATOC only for contractors that already possess a facility clearance or level of secret or above clearance?

NO, THIS MATOC IS NOT FOR

CONTRACTORS THAT ALREADY

POSSSESS A FACILITY

CLEARANCE OR LEVEL OF

SECRET. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT

SOME PROJECTS AT THE TASK

ORDER LEVEL WILL REQUIRE

SOME FORM OF SECURITY

CLEARANCE. IT IS HIGHLY

RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR

COMPANY CAN ATTAIN A

CLEARANCE AT AWARD OF

MATOC.

Paragraph states that contractor shall appoint a FSO in a cleared facility and The prime vendor, and all subcontractors, are required to possess a Facility Clearance Level of Secret or above.

The Government requires that at least one project used for experience references must have "a final construction cost of $4,000,000 or greater.". Would the Government consider revising this requirement to "$3,000,000 or greater"?

NO, $4,000,000.00 REMAINS THE

FINAL CONSTRUCTION COST OR

ATLEAST ONE PROJECT.

The Government requires that at least one project used for experience references must have been new construction. Would the Government consider allowing the substitution of the required one (1) new construction project for two (2) high value construction renovation or design-build projects?

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTON IN

PARAGRAPH 4.1.1

Please clarify what is meant by "..demonstrate specific capability and approach (both Prime and Subcontractors) to perform all requirements…". In what sense should bidders elucidate the capabilities and approach of our subcontractors, specifically? To detail specific capabilities for each subcontractor which bidders may utilize across each of the nine (9) locations required under this procurement with the current 3 page limit seems space-prohibitive.

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTION IN

PARAGRAPH 2.3.5 PAGE

LIMITATION

Section 4.3 states, "[...]Offerors shall submit information about one past effort for each major subcontractor, as defined in section 2.1. If no proposed subcontractors meet the threshold for major subcontractor at least one past effort shall be provided for each of the three subcontractors performing the largest portions of subcontracted work under this effort (or all subcontractors if fewer than three are proposed)." The term Major Subcontractor is indeed defined in

Section 2.1., but is not mentioned anywhere else in the Solicitation. Is it the Government's intention that bidders are to identify any major subcontractors that they might use over the nine (9) different locations in which work is to be performed as part of this contract and submit at least one past performance for each of those major subcontractors who will perform work at the nine (9) different locations? Conversely, is it the Government's intention that bidders are to instead identify any major subcontractors which might be used for the Seed Project which will be issued as part of Phase II (and which bidders have not yet been provided information for, and as such, would not be able to assess which subcontractors might be necessary)? In the event that none of bidders' identified subcontractors would be considered "major", how would bidders determine which subcontractors would qualify as

"performing the largest portions of subcontractor work under this effort", if bidders are not yet advised of specific work scopes? Please clarify.

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTION IN

PARAGRAPH 4.3 FACTOR 3 - PAST

PERFORMANCE.

Is it the Government's intention that bidders will have identified all subcontractors which might be required to perform work in each of the nine (9) locations required under this procurement, or does the

Government merely wish subcontractors to be mentioned in a general sense, to include anticipated responsibilities and contractual relationships, etc.?

YES, AT EACH TASK ORDER AND

OR AT EACT AOR

Is it the Government's intention that within this section bidders describe their "strategy for successful execution of work awarded under resulting contract, managing multiple concurrent projects, and managing the geographic coverage of the contract requirements." and

"plan for accomplishing both Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build projects under this CONTRACT." in a general sense, or specifically with regard to the Organizational Structure of the bidder's team, since this requirement is under the "Subfactor A - Organizational Structure" category?

IN GENERAL SENSE

Bullets a, d, and e seem to specify the same information, please clarify how each is different?

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIOIN IN

PARAGRAPH 5.2 FACTOR 5 -

SAFETY.

Wording in this paragraph states, "Offerors shall ensure that all price information is contained within Volume III". Is it the Government's intention that pricing should be included within Volume III (Past

Performance), during Phase One of proposal submissions, or should this wording instead read "Volume VI"?

IT SHOULD STATES VOLUME VI IN

PHASE II

Please confirm which volume bidders should insert "Additional

Required Information" into (i.e. completed SF 1442, proof of bonding capacity, etc.).

VOLUME VI IN PHASE II

The following locations identify different email addresses for Mr.

Smiley (some say "ronald.smiley3@navy.mil" and some say

"ronald.v.smiley.civ@us.navy.mil"), please confirm which is the correct email address.

Pg. 1 (SF 1442, Blocks 7 and 10), Pg. 22 (Sec. 2.2), Pg. 116 (G-242-

H001, C, ii).

PLEASE UTILIZE

ronald.v.smiley.civ@us.navy.mil

The provided Attachment 2A (Past Performance Questionnaire) only includes the first part of the PPQ form, it doesn't include the assessment pages (i.e. where our clients can input their assessment / evaluation of our work). Please advise.

ATTACHED NEW PPQ

Sections 4.1.1. (Pg. 29), 4.1.2. (Pg. 31), and 4.3 (Pg. 33) state that past performance references must have been completed within the last five

(5) years. However, Section 3.3.(a) (Pg. 44) states that recency for past performance is within the past three (3) years. Please confirm whether submitted past performance must have occurred within the past five (5) years, or within the past three (3) years.

PAST PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE

LAST FIVE (5) YEARS

Both Sections 5.3 (Pg. 36) and 3.4 (Pgs. 45-46) mention that any

"inconsistency between promised performance - e.g., the technical or management volumes and the identified personnel resources - and the proposed price must be explained in the proposal". However, the technical and management volumes read as though they are supposed to be written from the standpoint of the entire contract scope, instead of the seed project scope. Are bidders supposed to write the Technical and Management volumes from the perspective of the entire contract scope, or just the seed project scope? If the Government intends that bidders write the technical and management volumes fromt the perspective of the seed project, please provide seed project SOW for this use.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS

IS PHASE I AND THIS APPLIES

FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE

ENTIRE CONTRACT SCOPE NOT

THE SEED PROJECT, WHICH IS IN

PHASE II.

This section mentions "identified personnel resources". Are bidders supposed to proposed specific key personnel in our response volumes.

If so, which resources, and in which volumes should resumes be presented?

SUBMIT RESUMES IN VOLUME IV

UNDER FACTOR 4

The government notes that an EMR rating of 1.0 is considered high risk. Is this typical? In our experience, an EMR rating of 1.0 is considered neutral by most entities.

IF YOUR EMR RATING IS AT 1 AND

BELOW YOU ARE CONSIDERED

MODERATE RISK AND ANYTHING

ABOVE 1 IS HIGH RISK.

Bidders are required to identify "all subcontractors" in the cover letter.

Does this mean that every single subcontractor for all locations proposed as part of this contract, for any and all construction trades that might perform work for a particular bidder should be listed?

Please clarify.

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTION IN

PARAGRAPH 3.1 COVER LETTER

Does the Government require a cover letter to be submitted for both phases, or only as part of Phase I?

Factor 3 Past Performance does not appear to clarify how the

Solicitation is defining a past performance "effort" beyond duration of performance. Please clarify how solicitation defines these efforts ie:

final construction cost, scope of work, design-build/design-bid-build, etc.

The scope will provide for construction, revitalization, recapitalization

(restoration and modernization) and sustainment (maintenance and repairs) of systems and infrastructure

Factor 3 Past Performance continues to note providing experience of proposed subcontractors (major or not), however it does not explain what subcontractors related to what effort? How would this requirement be relevant and required by a General Contractor company (with no teaming arrangements, etc. with any subcontractors) that is submitting an offer on this solicitated MATOC?

See definiton in paragraph 2.1. Offerors are encouraged to provide contract reference information for efforts on which they are the Prime contract holder.
