Experience, Size

This section states that at least one project must have a final construction cost of $10,000 000 or greater. As a Small Business firm, most of our projects are smaller in dollar value. We respectfully request that the government lower the $10,000,000 project requirement to $3,000,000.

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.

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.
