SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

AMENDMENT 0004 REMOVE RESPONSES FOR RFI QUESTIONS 39, 40 AND 47 AND REPLACE

WITH THE FOLLOWS:

39-Topic: Subcontractors

Discussion:

Factor 1 Corporate Experience � Stated on page 105: “Experience of proposed subcontractors will not be considered.”

� Stated on page 105: “If uses ... clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance on this contract.”

Factor 4 Past Performance

� Stated on page 108: “The three projects shall be from the projects under Factor 1.”

� Stated on page 108: “In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

The RFP makes 62 references to Subcontractors and the requirements of such in the solicitation package.

The distinction between corporate (prime) experience and past performance is clear, however, to not allow subcontractor corporate experience (page 105 statement) while considering JV partner or affiliate past performance (page 143), runs counter to:

FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii) that states: “The evaluation should take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

If the limiting restriction on page 105: “Experience of proposed subcontractors will not be considered” were omitted from this solicitation, it will allow offerors to present the full team, to include a major subcontractor, and will facilitate the government’s efforts in ‘reviewing any other source of information’ (page 108).

Alternatively, on page 108, modifying the language that Factor 4 projects must be the same as those presented in Factor 1, to instead allow recent-relevant subcontractor projects admissible as one of the three examples and thereby acknowledging FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii).

Answer: This will not be deleted as the referred FAR section is making reference to past performance and not experience.

40-Question: With respect for FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii), will the Government delete the restriction on page 105 (“Experience of proposed subcontractors will not be considered”) and allow the prime and a major subcontractor of an established teaming arrangement to collectively respond to Factors 1 and 4?

Answer: This will not be deleted as the referred FAR section is making reference to past performance and not corporate experience.

N4008021R0189

47) Question: Sprinkler maintenance we need to know who the manufacturer.

Answer: This information is not available, Section C – spec 3.1.3 specifies a $10,000 cap on materials required for repairs. Any cost above that is submitted for review to the contracting officer. Manufacturer is not required because they are not quoting based on specific manufacturer parts and costs.
