33 4/24 Amendment 01

Criterion

Amendment #1 language added to

Submission Requirements under

Criterion 3 – Past Performance, we request a clarification of the following wording: “contracting agent and/or their representative responsible for the contract administration.” As the Designer of

Record on a design/build team, our contracting agent is always a representative of the General

Contractor (builder) who holds the prime contract with the Government.

As a matter of policy, the

Government typically will not provide CPARs or PPQs to the design firm in this case, and generally will not mention the designer in the

CPARs or PPQs that the

Government’s representative provides to the prime General

Contractor. Consequently, for many of our most relevant projects we will be unable to provide a performance review other than one written by our direct client, the General Contractor.

This new requirement was not a part of your recent “Synopsis N40080-24-

R-2184 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite

Quantity (IDIQ) for General

Administrative Architect-Engineer

(AE) Services for Small to Medium

Projects” so it was unexpected, and we have proceeded for the last several weeks under the assumption that we would be able to use PPQs already in hand. In order to rectify this situation, we request that the wording of the next sentence in the amended language as follows: “It shall not be from the prime contractor on a project to a subcontractor, with the exception of the case of a

Designer of Record who serves under a subcontract to a General Contractor on a design/build project.”

Bid per Synopsis.
