However, In the General Requirements for Demonstration Project in The Solicitation says that this project is Design‐Bid‐Build. Please cofirm that the design is complete and the SEED project will not require Design Services.

Confirmed. The demonstration project is a design‐bid‐build contract wherein the design is complete.

Seed project does not require design other than specifically indicated "delegated design".

The Structural Steel specs in Section 051200 (paragraph 1.3) calls for an AISC Certified Fabricator and an AISC Certified Erector. It will be very difficult to get any AISC fabricators or erectors to bid on this project, since there is a very small amount of new steelwork compared to other AISC projects and they typically refuse to bid on renovation work. Please waive the AISC Certification requirements, so we can obtain competitive bids on the structural steel framing.

Section 00 21 16

Section 00 21 16 shows the demonstration project performance period as 518 days after award while Amendment 1 shows the performance period as 533 days after award. Are we correct to assume that 533 calendar days is the correct duration?

The construction duration is 518 calendar days. 533 calendar days includes

518 days for the construction duration plus 15 days for bonds submission and approval.

In NAVFAC terminology, what is the difference between a seed project and a demonstration project?

A demonstration project is primarly used to evaluate the reasonableness of proposed pricing in order to assist in making best value determinations. The Government reserves the right to award the demonstration project at the time of the basic contract award or before the proposal expiration period, should funds become available.

The paragraph with instructions for the Non‐ cost/price Factors cover page mentions Times new Roman, 10‐point font. Is the minimum font size that applies to the whole proposal?

Construction projects for Factor 2 must have been completed after 10/5/2018 and design projects for Factor 2 must have been completed after 10/5/2016. Is this correct?

The instructions for Factor 3 say that "Information beyond the five (5) pages will not be considered, with the exception of the organizational chart and critical path schedule which is not included in the page limitation." The reference to the "organizational chart" seems out of place because an organizational chart is required for Factor 1. Should this be removed from the cited sentence?

RFP ‐

Section 4

Under the "Construction Experience" section of the RFP one project must have a final construction cost of $10,000,000 or greater. We believe requirement is overly restrictive for most SBs. Opportunities of this magnitude are not as frequently awarded to SBs. In fact, based on open‐source data, NAVFAC Capital Region has only awarded on average two MATOC task orders over this size per year, with an average of one other NAVFAC Capital Region award outside the MATOC environment. Further, many other agencies procure projects over the $10M threshold as full and open competition. To expand competition for this solicitation we request that NAVFAC extend the recency period for this project to 7 years to match that of the designer experience.

The General Requirements for the Demonstration Project show an Estimated Budget Amount/Price Range of $10M to $25M however after attending the site visit, it appears this project falls in the $1M‐$5M range. Given that this demonstration project is to be reflective of the typical work that this MACC would cover: Would the Government consider lowering the threshold for Past Performance magnitude from $10M to $5M.

No, Bid per RFP. 0004

321 11 00 21 16 N/A

Previous NACFAC Washington Small Business MACC task orders range in value averaging about $5M ‐ $7M range instead of a $10M ‐ $20M range with only a small amount of task orders being awarded in that larger range.

Would the Government consider revising the Construction Experience requirement of (1) project being $10M or greater and replace with

(1) project being $5M or greater in order to be better representing of historical patterns as well as typical Small Business contractor's sole prime‐ contracting performance.

No, Bid per RFP. 0004

For Technical Factor 1 – Technical Approach, paragraph (1) states to include a brief description of the roles and responsibilities of each entity and not to exceed (1) page.

Please reference sheet AF‐110 Finish Schedule & Details, wood panel types WD‐1, WD‐2, WD‐3.

Clarification is needed on the desired direction of the grain. Due to TRESPA sheet size limitations, the grain direction significantly swings the production costs depending upon the grain direction required. A) The interior architectural elevations suggest that the grain is running horizontally, however but the renderings look like the grains runs vertically. B) For example see elevation 3/A‐406 which depicts horizontal grain versus the rendering on the same sheet which clearly depicts vertical grain direction. Please clarify what grain direction is desired.

Please reference sheet AF‐110 Finish Schedule & Details, wood panel types WD‐1, WD‐2, WD‐3.

Clarification is needed on the desired panel thickness. The documents contain conflicting information. Panel thickness significantly impacts material and installation costs. A) Keynote 06.14 calls out a panel thickness of 3/8”. B) Detail 7 / A‐703 dimensions this material at ½” and calls it out as keynote 06.14.

Please advise which is correct so accurate material, fabrication and installation costs can be determined.
