SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE (SF 30)

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0001

1. Spec Section : 00 21 13 – Instructions to Bidder

Verifying that there is no business data requirement for Phase I. Business data being bonding information, financials, and reps/certs. We did not see the requirement in the solicitation documents.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: BID BOND IS REQUIRED. SUBMIT IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THE RFP.

2.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE ATTACHED SECTION OF TABLE OF CONTENTS.

THE INTENDED QUANTITY OF MACC CONTRACTS TO BE AWARDED IS

APPROXIMATELY FIVE (5). REQUIREMENTS WILLNOT BE LOWERED.

3. Solicitation Page 14 – Factor 1 Management Approach states that the management approach narrative shall be limited to two (2) single sided pages including the organizational chart. Please confirm this requirement.

Solicitation Page 19 & 20 – Factor 3 Safety states that the technical approach to safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) single sided pages. Please confirm this requirement.

No specific bonding capability requirements are stated in the solicitation for Phase 1. What are the minimum requirements for both single award and aggregate bonding capacity?

Please provide the missing Sections of the Solicitation as listed in the Table of Contents.

Please provide the Scale and/or Assessment Rating schedule that will be utilized in the basis of evaluation for Factors 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Participation in Phase II is identified as limited to (10), but what is the intended quantity of MACC contracts to be awarded at the close of Phase II?

From previous experience (historical) on 8(a) MACC’s for NAVFAC 50% or more of the task orders tracked fell less than $1M in contract value, please consider lowering the experience requirements for design and construction to $250K on the lower range to allow for this experience to be utilized under this solicitation since it is the most relevant experience. The $1M minimum experience threshold also makes for unduly restriction on competition for 8(a) participants.

Will proof of bonding capacity be required to be submitted with the Phase 1 proposals?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: CONFIRM SUBMIT PER THE FACTOR. BID BOND

REQUIRED WITH PHASE I.

4. Pre-solicitation for this requirement stated that the Government intends to award no more than five (5) contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose proposals represent the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. Is this still the intent of this solicitation?

Pre-solicitation for this requirement Page 1 stated that this procurement is limited to certified 8(a) firms located within the geographical area serviced by the SBA Baltimore District Office, the SBA Washington Metropolitan Area District Office, and the SBA Richmond District Office.

This language is not included in the solicitation. Will this requirement apply to this procurement?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: YES WE WILL AWARD APPROXIMATELY FIVE (5)

CONTRACTS FROM THIS SOLICITATION. REFER TO THE RFP NOT THE PRE

SOLICITATION.

5. On page 18 of the solicitation, Factor-3 Safety calls out the requirements for submission of this factor. Attachment D was enclosed with the solicitation to be used to fulfill this requirement. Attachment D does not match the requirements in the solicitation. Attachment D

2. calls for EMR’s. No requirement is listed in the solicitation for EMR’s. The DART rate is listed as 3 years on the Attachment D and 5 years in the solicitation. TRC rates are listed as 3 years in Attachment D and 5 years in the solicitation. There is no area in Attachment D to provide the Technical Approach to Safety. Is this section to be stand alone from Attachment D? Please resolve the differences between the solicitation and Attachment D.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: ATTACHMENT D IS NO LONGER REQUIRED.

6. Pg. 10-11 of RFP, Section 00 21 13 - Instructions to Bidders references electronic proposal submission instructions as well as hard copy submittal instructions. Please confirm that both electronic and hard copy submittals are required. Please also confirm that we must submit 1 original hard copy and 1 additional hard copy.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: CONFIRM BOTH ELECTRONIC AND HARD COPIES

ARE REQUIRED. CONFIRM HARD COPY PROPOSAL CONSIST OF 1 ORIGINAL

AND 1 COPY.

7. Please confirm that MAILED HARD COPIES (one original, one copy) of the proposal are required in addition to the DoD SAFE upload.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE TO #6

8. Page 11 of 60 seems to indicate that the mailed proposal hard copies would be due at a later date and time as the electronic proposal submission, which makes sense since hard copies must be finalized and shipped several days prior to the due date and time. With this type of submission, offerors would produce hard copies of the uploaded proposal and ship the required copies to the government.

However, this same page in the solicitation states that the hard copy proposals are due at the same time and date as the electronic proposals. This disconnect creates several items of risk:

With a due date landing on a Monday and hand delivery of proposals specifically prohibited, hard copies will need to be produced and shipped the preceding Thursday or Friday. If any proposal information changes while the hard copy is in transit, the hard copy will not match the uploaded copy. If there are discrepancies between the hard copy and electronic copy, which copy prevails?

There are several options NAVFAC can consider to potentially resolve this issue:

Allow Offerors to print and ship their hard copies after electronic submission (typically 2-3 days after the solicitation closes). This guarantees all copies will be identical.

Remove the requirement to submit hard copies altogether with all offers submitted electronically via DoD SAFE. Remove the requirement for electronic DoD SAFE upload and have electronic copies submitted on CD or thumb drive with the proposal hard copies. Thus, the hard copies and electronic copies will be shipped at the same time, in the same package, guaranteeing all copies will be identical.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE TO #6

9. Please consider removing the requirement for the submission of proposal hard copies. With hand delivery of proposals prohibited, this requirement reduces the proposal response time by several days to allow for delivery by commercial carriers.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE TO #6

10. Would you please provide clarification on the following from Section 00 21 13 of the above referenced Solicitation:

Proposal submission due date – BOX 13 of the SF1442 indicates 19 April 2021 at 2 PM EST for the Hard Copy proposals but references BOX 13 of the SF1442 is for ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION. Are both electronic and hard copy submissions due at the same date/time?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: YES

11. Section 00 21 13 - Instructions to Bidders (page 10 or 60 of the Solicitation) states that proposals are supposed to be submitted through the DoD SAFE Site; however, later in that section (page 11 of 60 of the Solicitation) it states that hard copy proposals are to be submitted.

Can you please confirm that due to the COVID-19 pandemic that one electronic copy ONLY of the Phase One Proposal is to be submitted electronically via the DoD SAFE Site?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE TO #6

12. Factor 3 requires us to submit our DART and TCR rates; however, Attachment D – Safety Data Sheet issued with the solicitation files requires EMR, DART and TCR information. Can you please clarify what information is to be provided in Factor 3 – Safety?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE #5.

13. RFP page 10, #7 and #8: The RFP references both electronic submission and mailed hard copy. Does the proposal need to be submitted in both electronic and hard copy?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE TO #6

14. RFP page 10 and 11.The RFP states to an electronic copy and a hard copy are required for submission. Solicitation states Hard Copies are required and hand delivery is not permitted. If the electronic copy arrives on time. Will a copy of a FED EX/UPS Shipping Label showing ship date, delivery address and tracking number be acceptable as verification of timely delivery of the Proposal Hard Copy if for some reason the Hard Copy does not make it to the intended address on time?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE #6

15. Section 00 21 13 (7) – Instructions to Bidders Under Section 7, it states that Contractors shall send their Electronic Proposal submissions to Cynthia Crowder through the DOD Safe Site. But then in Section 8, it states that we are also to mail a hard copy as well (Price and Non-Price Factors). In Phase I, there is only the submission of the Technical/Non-Price Factors. Please clarify if we need to submit an electronic proposal as well as a hard copy via mail.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE #6

16. If we need to submit a hard copy, can the Hard copy, since it cannot be hand delivered, can we send it via FEDEx or UPS?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: YES

17. Please confirm that a bid bond is not required to be submitted for Phase.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: SEE RESPONSE #3 BID BOND IS REQUIRED.
