SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002

1. The following is the Requests For Information that have been received to date:

Q1. Please confirm that deficiencies outside the radial work are not to be remediated under this contract.

A1: This question pertains to the seed task order. The contractor is expected to perform work to current standards as defined in the SOW. The contractor is not expected to do work to bring the remainder of the tower up to current standards. As part of ordinary due diligence, the contractor should inform the government of any conditions they encounter that are not up to previous code standards or that present a hazard to safety. The contractor should inform the government of deficiencies found, such as damage, burns, worn or broken components.

Q2. Please confirm that conformance with section 4.3 will satisfy all contract requirements with respect to corrosion of existing steel components of the radials to remain (other than stainless steel items, which will be polished, and cable, which will not receive cold galvanizing compound).

A2: This question pertains to the seed task order. Yes

Q3. Please confirm that non-destructive testing and analysis of existing radial items to remain is not required under this contract, and that ensuring a 25-year fatigue life for existing radial items to remain is not a contract requirement.

A3: This question pertains to the seed task order. Yes

Q4. Please confirm that this simply means that the new conductor may be the same diameter and type as the existing conductor.

A4: This question pertains to the seed task order. Yes.

Q5. Does the Navy have enough confidence in accuracy of the as-built drawings to ensure 300ft is the proper length? Would field speltering be an acceptable alternative to ensure proper fit up?

A5: This question pertains to the seed task order. Yes, field speltering will be acceptable, provided the contractor conducts appropriate quality control measures.

Q6. Is it truly the Government’s intent to perform a site topo of the entire site and identify wetlands as part of a guy reconfiguration project?

A6: This question pertains to the seed task order. No. A sketch showing significant ponding, obstructions, road beds, fencing, and facilities will be acceptable.

Q7. If the existing fence is in poor condition and must be removed to lower the radial, can the fence be put back in its original condition or is it the intent that the fence be replaced to resist large grazing animals?

A7: This question pertains to the seed task order. Replacing the fence in its original condition is acceptable.

Q8. This suggests a maximum amount that a project can be and still be relevant. Please confirm that there is no intent to place a maximum dollar amount a project can be and still be relevant.

A8: This question refers to Factor (5) (ii) 1. “For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defines as:

approximate value of $50,000 and $1,000,000”. Confirmed. The relevant project size is a general range, not a min or max. Projects with dollar values larger than that stated may be considered relevant.

Q9. Is the solicitation looking for tower/antenna services only?

A9: This question refers to Section 00801, paragraph 5. No. A majority of the work is expected to be for tower antenna services. Please see the revised Section 00801, paragraph 5.

Q10. If additional services outside of towers and antennas are requested; can additional subcontractors be brought into the project?

A10: Yes. There are no “consent to subcontract” requirements in this solicitation/resulting contract. It is expected that the prime contractor will be able to engage qualified subcontractors for any of the work listed in the scope of work, and subsequent task orders.. It is not necessary to specifically show the capabilities of these less relevant subcontractors at this time.

Q11. Is the total sites (11)?

A11: This question refers to Section 00801, the table included in paragraph 5 No. The sites listed are examples of sites where work is likely to be requested. Task orders may be requested at other sites belonging to the Navy and other government agencies.

Q12. Would site visits be required before mobilization to sites for service/maintenance?

A12: Sometimes. Task Order requests for proposals will state whether a site visit is to be held. The need for a site visit will be determined based on task complexity, cost of travel, and other factors.

Q13. Why is there no phone call option or minutes of the meeting provided to the remaining small businesses interested in this RFP? Will there be a call in option and minutes provided for this conference?

A13. This question refers to Section 00100, paragraph 3, as amended by Amendment 0001. The pre-proposal conference (PPC) is being held at the same general location as the site visit, to preclude offerors from having to make two separate trips to different locations. General questions about the solicitation will be answered at the PPC, Questions that require additional research or point out ambiguities or other deficiencies in the solicitation will be required to be submitted in writing and answered via amendment. The Pre-proposal Conference meeting agenda (power point presentation) will be posted on FedBizOpps after the PPC. Meeting minutes that list the questions asked and answered will not be provided. There is no written agenda for the site visit and no minutes will be issued.

A call-in number for the Pre-Proposal Conference is being provided. Offerors are advised that they assume the risk of not hearing all information or potentially being disconnected from the phone call. There will not be an option of calling in for the site visit. Call in number: (805) 982-5000. Passcode is: 199180#

Q14. Please verify the status as Small Business and not Small Disadvantaged Business?

A14. This question refers to the Section 00801, Paragraph 3, which states the solicitation is 100% small business set-aside, and the FAR provision 52.204-8 ANNUAL REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS, which has the provision 52.219-22 (Alt I) SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS STATUS checked.

6. CONTRACT DURATION, LIMITS, AND AMOUNTS

Term of contract: Each of the resulting contracts will be for a base ordering period of 12 months.

Options: Each contract contains two (2) 12-month ordering options for a total maximum duration of 36 months or estimated maximum dollar value (see below), whichever occurs first. The Government has the option to extend the term of the contract in accordance with the contract clause entitled “Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, FAR 52.217-9.” The Government may extend the contract for a term of one (1) to six (6) months by written notice to the contractor within the performance period specified in the Schedule, provided that the Government will give the contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

Amounts: The estimated maximum dollar value, including the base year and all options, for all contracts combined is $45,000,000.

The maximum value of all of the orders that may be placed during all of the ordering periods under all of the contracts awarded hereunder is $45,000,000. Each ordering period (CLIN) set forth in the schedule includes an estimated quantity of the dollar value of all orders that will be placed during that ordering period. Offerors should use those estimated quantities for planning purposes and in the preparation of its proposals. Circumstances may change after award such that the Government may need to issue orders which exceed the estimated quantity set forth for any particular ordering period. The aggregate of all the estimated quantities for all ordering periods is $45,000,000.00 which is the maximum amount the Government may order under all the contracts as a whole including option ordering periods if exercised.

The Government, may, however place orders during any ordering period which exceed the estimated quantity for that period as long as the contract maximum is not exceeded. As such, the Government may place orders during the first ordering period which consume the contract total. Any estimated quantity not consumed in an ordering period remains available for use in a subsequent ordering period.

Minimum Guarantee: The Government intends to issue a task order to obligate the contract minimum guarantee of $5,000 to each contractor. No minimum guarantees apply to the option periods. This task order to obligate the minimum guarantee will be issued concurrently with the award of the basic contract.

Contractors may not invoice against this task order. Once the contractor receives a task order which exceeds the minimum guarantee amount, the minimum guarantee task order will be modify to de-obligate the funds from the task order.

Task Order Limitations: Task Orders will range between $10,000 and $1,000,000. Task Orders may fall below or above this limit; however contractors are not obligated to accept such Task Orders under the general terms of the contract.

7. PERFORMANCE OF WORK/LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING: All work under this contract shall be in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 Small Business Size Regulations, and FAR Part 19 Small Business Programs and Part 36 Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts as applicable. FAR 52.219-14 Limitation on Subcontracting requires that the concern perform at least 25% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees. 13 CFR §§125.6 defines cost of the contract as: All allowable direct and indirect costs allocable to the contract, excluding profit or fees. Per 13 CFR §§124.510, for IDIQ contracts, the firm must demonstrate semi-annually that they have met the limitation on subcontract requirements for task orders issued during the previous six months. A firm can perform less than 15% (or 25% for Specialty Trades) on a given task order, provided that it is off-set by other task orders issued during the same six-month period. Note: This section applies to 8(a) concerns, but serves as a rationale basis to establish the same requirements for this small business set-aside.

8. WORK BY THE GOVERNMENT

The Government reserves the right to undertake performance by Government forces, for the same type or similar work as contracted herein, as the Government deems necessary or desirable, and to do so will not breach or otherwise violate this contract.

9. COMMENCEMENT OF WORK

No work under this contract will commence until such time as the Contracting Officer issues a Task Order, either in writing or orally. Oral Task Orders will be confirmed by the issuance of a written Task Order within five working days.

10. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The place of performance will be designated on each individual Task Order.

11. PROPOSAL PREPARATION COSTS

The costs for preparation of Task Order proposals, if required under this contract, shall be the responsibility of the contractor and not directly reimbursable. Each Task Order awarded will include at a minimum all labor wages, management, supervision, mobilization, material and equipment costs. The contractor shall furnish all project management, planning, estimating, labor, transportation, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, design if applicable, and all other associated costs necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Task Order.
