Questions and responses to clarifications Future questions and clarifications will be added to this set and released as a continuous list.

FIRST question set: August 1st 2013

1. QUESTION: Will you be providing an SF 1442 for Phase I?

ANSWER: We do not require new PPQs be completed. The RFP does not prohibit reusing previously completed questionnaires. It prohibits just referencing those questionnaires and not including copies of them in RFP.

4. QUESTION: For the Crane, Indiana SB MACC under Factor 2, it states that we are required to utilize the Construction Project Data Sheet but that we may expand individual blocks. However, the format provided is an un-editable PDF. In order to expand the boxes, it needs to be a form. Could you please re-issue as a form so that we may expand the boxes?

ANSWER: See attached word versions.

5. QUESTION: . In the RFP Factor 2 - Experience (a), (1) - "Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP." Bold and italicized added. Would the Navy consider changing this requirement for projects being completed by 30 July 13 (the RFP issuance date) to the date the proposals are due to the Navy or consider reducing the requirement from "completed" to "substantial completion" which is typically defined as 80% or more complete?

ANSWER: No. The experience verbiage is from the portion of the tech evaluation factors that have been set by headquarters and cannot be edited. The intent is to evaluate company history to the time of the RFP issuance and not to potentially affect the conduct/processing of contracts and Task orders that are not closed out yet..
