Factor 2.

Corporat e Experien ce

(2)(i ) a)

The Construction Experience section of the solicitation requests project size to be: A final construction cost of at least $2,000,000. At least one (1) project, however, must have a final construction cost of at least $15,000,000 or greater. The most recent solicitation from NAVFAC Washington for the 8(a) MACC requested projects from $1M to $5M for NAICS code 236220.

As this solicitation is being issued under NAICS code 238220 with a size standard of $19M, it would seem more appropriate to follow the previous 8(a) MACC solicitation requirements. Can you change the solicitation so that the experience requirements for construction and design projects size be in the $1M - $5M range?

This would allow for more relevant projects to be submitted.

See Amendment 0005. 5

General Please confirm if Phasing is required, if so, please identify.

Yes, bid per RFP. 5

34 10 Factor 2 Construc tion Experien ce

Bid per RFP. A project submitted under design experience will meet the recency requirement if (a) the construction effort was completed within seven (7) years immediately preceding the RFP issuance date, regardless of the design completion date, OR (b) the construction effort is ongoing, but the design completion date was reached within the seven (7) years immediately preceding the RFP issuance date. Each relevant completion date shall be clearly stated on the Construction & Design Experience Project Data Sheet.
