2. New construction shall include grading and/or paving of an undeveloped site by Design-Build (MUST show experience in design or design management as well as construction); and

An offeror will be rated UNACCEPTABLE if the offeror does not submit the minimum number of relevant projects (one (1)).

Then on page 10 of 40 of the RFP, under Factor 3 Past Performance reads:

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”.

Please clarify that acceptability or non-acceptability ratings for both sections, and if we were to not submit a “relevant” project, or submit a partially relevant project, could we receive an acceptable for both Factor 1 and Factor 2?

PRE-PROPOSAL RESPONSE 021

Yes.

Corporate Experience - The offeror must provide a project that meets all of the relevancy requirements to receive an acceptable rating for Corporate Experience.

PRE-PROPOSAL RESPONSE 022

That is correct they are not required. As stated above any unrequested information will not be reviewed.

PRE-PROPOSAL INQUIRY 023

As per the requirement of the project and as per your answer in the amendment 001 about the environmental HVAC equipment, the temperature should be between 15- & 35-degree Celsius.

Can you please confirm this requirement because 15 degree means we should install special HVAC units not available usually in the market.

PRE-PROPOSAL RESPONSE 023

The equipment to be stored in the storage area may require temperature conditions as low as 15 degrees Celcius, therefore it is confirmed that the temperatures in the storage area should have a range as low as 15 degrees Celsius.

PRE-PROPOSAL INQUIRY 024

On page 10 of the PTS (Performance Technical Specifications), it says “All new construction shall adhere to the Accessibility Standards outlined by the Uganda National Action on Physical Disability).

PRE-PROPOSAL INQUIRY 027

Page 50 of 103, above ground water piping for cold water use asks for “copper piping” and we ask if we can use galvanized steel or any other approved water pipe since copper is expensive, or confirm copper is what Navy wants.

PRE-PROPOSAL RESPONSE 027

Copper piping shall be used for refrigerant piping and distribution related to HVAC equipment and as prescribed by the equipment manufacturer. All other above ground water piping shall be appropriate for service type and may be galvanized steel or other equivalent for service.

PRE-PROPOSAL INQUIRY 028

On page 52, what time of conduit should the electrical wire be in? Galvanized steel, EMT, PVC, rigid or? We suggest the following:

b. Schedule 40 PVC for inside concrete and concrete encased

c. Rigid metal for stub-ups

d. EMT or galvanized or PVC for walls (surface mounted)

e. Cable rack or cable trays for above drop ceiling

We recommend using non-certified because the local materials are good quality and less expensive. Please either specify type of conduit for each use or confirm the above as required for all in order to bid equivalently.

PRE-PROPOSAL RESPONSE 028

For electrical wire conduit pertaining to this project, the following non-certified conduit types are considered acceptable:

Schedule 80 PVC for underground roads and ground Schedule 40 PVC for inside concrete and concrete encased Rigid Metal for stub-ups EMT or Galvanized or PVC for walls surface-mounted Cable rack or cable trays for above drop ceiling

PRE-PROPOSAL INQUIRY 029

On page 55 out of 103, PTSG30 and ESR30 refer to a septic tank which shall discharge into a drain field. Please confirm if this is a requirement for this project, and if so, please provide any details, if the drain field is natural ground, sloped, concrete or else.

PRE-PROPOSAL RESPONSE 029

The septic tank and drain field described on page 55 of 103 PTS G30 and ESR 30 is not a requirement for this project since existing sewage lines are identified in section 1. These lines are called out as drainage lines and are intended for the bathroom to drain sewage and wastewater to.

PRE-PROPOSAL INQUIRY 030

Due to our site visit on 12/16/2020, The person of contact mentioned the construction of a canal to protect the school below of the construction site from flooding. Should we consider the cost of such an improvement?
