Paragraph states that pricing for each task order shall be determined by applying the most current R.S. Meams unit pricing, including "total incl O&P", as well as R.S.

Use most current R.S.Means.

Because there is no "SEED

When pricing NonPre-Priced Items, how is the Contractor's overhead and profit to be determined? There does not seem to be a place in the Price Proposal Schedule to define these costs.

The staffing requirements stated in the solicitation and General Requirements are onerous and unreasonable. Based on an average distribution of task order size, even a small individual contracting office that has 29 active task orders totaling $5M will be contractually required to have 23 on-site personnel to manage this work. This will lead to prices that are so high that they are not in the taxpayers’ best interest. In response to prior PPI about this issue, the Government has repeatedly provided answers such as

“Coordination of the requirement should be conferred with the Contracting Officer for a specific ordering office.” This implies that offerors are to include contractually mandated staffing requirements in their price, but that the enforcement of these requirements may be waived by individual contracting offices post-award. This is going to lead to a variety of pricing approaches by offerors depending on 1) their insight into current NAFVAC JOC operations and 2) the

The overall staffing requirements are included in the "Estimated Volume of

Work" (EVW). Because there is no "SEED PROJECT" Task Order, EVW multiplied with your proposed coefficient shall be calculated for the

1.5.1.b, d level of risk they are willing to take on. The resulting uneven playing field created through the solicitation documents and PPI responses is likely to lead to a protest. If the government does not truly intend to hold contractors to the staffing requirements described in the solicitation and General

Requirements, then providing a more realistic guideline to actual staffing requirements prior to the proposal submission would reduce the potential risk to offerors and allow offerors to provide lower, more accurate coefficients with all offerors having the same basis of pricing. Would the government please consider providing a more accurate assessment of staffing requirements during the solicitation phase so that all offerors can use this information to provide their most realistic, cost-effective pricing?

Amd 4 Question 57 CONFIRMS that the coefficient for the Escort line item SHALL NOT be less than 0. However in Amd 05 Question 119 the response states that the escort line item SHALL be less than 0.

Please confirm the Escort line item SHALL NOT be less than 0.

See Amendment 6 "The ELINs (0003, 0004, 0007, and 0008) shall be the respective coefficients for Other than

Regular Working Hours (OTR) and Escort line items, and shall be greater than

0.000 (i.e., 0.936))"

Amend 6

Many questions have been asked regarding OTR and Escort coefficients. However, there has been no response that clarifies how the OTR and Escort coefficients will be applied at the TASK ORDER level. It is imperative that the specific clarifications and issues surrounding OTR and Escort coefficients are addressed thoroughly.

Clarifitcation - Because there is no "SEED PROJECT" OTR and ESCORT coefficients shall be based on the

"Estimated Volume of Work" (EVW). Task Order

Coordination of OTR and ESCORT requirements should be conferred with the Contracting Officer for the ordering office

Given the confusion of how coefficients are being applied to an actual TASK ORDER will the Government please provide an example of a task order price proposal using all of the various coefficient.

Experie nce

Section 00 21 00, Factor 2 - Experience includes specific instructions for projects performed by a JV when not all partners from that JV are on the JV proposed for this contract. Specifically, the instructions state, "The Offeror shall also submit a SIGNED copy of the Joint Venture agreement indicating the proposed participation of each Joint Venture member." Please clarify where the JV Agreement should be included if submitting a construction experience project for a JV where not all partners from that JV are on the JV proposed for this contract.

Should this JV agreement also be included in

Factor 1 following our proposed JV agreement or in Factor 2 following the JV project?

The JV Agreement for this procurement is part of the technical proposal under

Factor 1 for the JV entities that are proposing for the current

JOC.

ProjNet questions #8 and #169 indicated that the Factor 2 - Experience (2) Design

Experience requirement to submit a DBB project would be removed. However, the requirement for a DBB project remained in Section 00 21 00 issued with Amendment

0006. Will the DBB requirement be removed in a subsequent amendment?

Design-Bid-Build (DBB) projects will not be considered for evaluation. Only Design- Build (DB) projects will be evaluated under Factor 2 -

Experience.

Section 00 21 00

As of today there are over 210 inquiries submitted and answered. Today is the deadline for inquiries so there may be more answers remaining. Due to the complexity of this requirement and team effort required, we would like to respectfully request this requirement be extended until April 1st, 2024 to be able to submit a responsive and reasonable proposal.

This Amendment 7 provides a changed proposal due date of

21 March 2024

We are planning on bidding this as the

General Contractor using a subcontractor who has been our designer on other

Design/Build projects as our designer or design team. In the Solicitation on page 19 of 71 No. 2 Design Experience It says “Submit a maximum of five (5) relevant design projects for the design team that best demonstrates design experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope and complexity to the RFP. Our question is do these 5 projects by the design team need to involve us as the GC or are they just to demonstrate the Design team’s abilities?

No - However, projects where the Offeror and the proposed design firm(s) have previously worked together may be considered more favorably than those that have not worked together.
