7. The RFP at Pages 41 and 42 provides Clause 252.204-7007 ALTERNATE A, ANNUAL REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS (JUN 2019). In several locations in the clause, the statement "[Contracting Officer Check as Appropriate]" is made, but no checks are included in the document.

Please provide instruction on how we can comply with the requirement of S.O.A. Certification requested on page 10of 60 of the RFP.

Gov Response: All offerors shall comply with current Italian Law and SOA certification requirements listed in

10. Reference is made to solicitation page 16 of 60, Factor 2 - Experience, Solicitation Submittal

Requirements.

The solicitation states : " Projects submitted must have been completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. For design-build projects, the design portion of the contract shall have been completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP."

Due to the number of variables and evaluation factors to be satisfied please confirm that it would be acceptable to the Government if one or more of the submitted projects is substantially completed with a completion status of 90% or above, as in other NAVFAC solicitation where the wording "substantially completed" appeared in the evaluation factors. We believe that a 90% completion threshold does not prevent the Government's evaluation of a contractor's capabilities since at this completion stage the salient works have been performed by the contractor.

Gov Response: Construction and Design Projects submitted for the Factor 2:Experience Factor must be 100% complete within 5 years of the date of the RFP release.

11. Is the intent of this solicitation to limit or exclude US Firm participation?

Gov Response: All offerors shall comply with current Italian Law and SOA certification requirements listed in

12. It seems that it would be in the best interest of the Contracting Office to allow as many US firms and new and qualified JV partnerships to enter into the Sigonella construction / maintenance bid opportunities arena, as to do otherwise would limit competition and result in less than ideal full and open competition per FAR

6.101 Policy, Competition Requirements.

Gov Response: All offerors shall comply with current Italian Law and SOA certification requirements listed in

13. We respectfully request that in the spirit of fair competition and allowing new bidders into this area of operations Phase 1 requirements allow for OG/SOA certs to be from one JV partner and Past Projects also be allowed from one partner. This will allow for a much larger pool of bidders, thereby competitively sourcing an eligible contractor from a wider body of qualified contractors.

Gov Response: All offerors shall comply with current Italian Law and SOA certification requirements listed in

14. We respectfully request NATO / Italian Defense Ministry projects funded by USAF in Italy be allowed to be submitted as US Government experience.

Gov Response: At least one (1) construction project shall have been awarded by the U.S. Government.

15. In RFP Pg. 10, point b. (1) - 1.10 SOCIETA’ ORGANISMI D’ATTESTAZIONE (SOA)

CERTIFICATION:

” (1) An unexpired SOA Certificate (including joint venture partner, consortium partners or subcontractors that will be utilized to meet the qualification standard).”Is it necessary for the consortia to have their own SOA certificate on behalf of the consortium besides the consortium partners certificates or are sufficient also only the certificates of the consortium partners?

Gov Response: All offerors shall comply with current Italian Law and SOA certification requirements listed in

16. Pg. 15, Factor 2 – Experience ; (1) Construction Experience

The Projects submitted by the Offeror must have been completed within the past five (5) years or not? It is not indicated in RFP.

Gov Response: Construction projects submitted must have been completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. For design-build projects, the design portion of the contract shall have been completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

17. In RFP Pg. 10, point b. (1) - 1.10 SOCIETA’ ORGANISMI D’ATTESTAZIONE (SOA) CERTIFICATION: refers to the possibility to use subcontractors to meet the qualification standard, this means that if we do not own one or more SOA categories can we attach the SOA certificate of a subcontractor?

Gov Response: All offerors shall comply with current Italian Law and SOA certification requirements listed in

18. Please, kindly confirm that it is possible to participate in this solicitation, even if SAM registration is in progress, but the offeror has already obtained DUNS number and CAGE / NCAGE code.

Gov Response: All offerors shall comply with current Italian Law and SOA certification requirements listed in the Solicitation.

20. Please, kindly clarify if a “Società Cooperativa Consortile” – type of consortium set forth in the Italian Public Contract Law (D.Lgs. 50/2016) - is eligible to participate in this solicitation, meeting the requirements provided for under “Factor 2 – Experience” by submitting relevant projects in which the said “Società Cooperativa Consortile” is the contractor and some of its members are the entities that carried out the works.
