REFERENCE QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

Page Section Para.

40 2/16/2024 Solicitation and Supporting Documents

Solicitation documents states requirement is a “MACC for small magnitude size DBB projects”, and Attachment 2 includes specifications for “Okinawa Mini-MACC”, yet Section 00 10 00 (B)(4) states Task Orders will have a range of up to $25,000,000 of yen equivalent (about ¥3,400,000,000).

Confirm this requirement is a “Mini- MACC” solicitation and listed Task Order range is correct?

Yes, This is a small magnitude size DBB projects, Okinawa Mini MACC. Task order range is between $3,000 and $25,000,000 or Japanese Yen equivalent.

41 2/16/2024 P74 of

Solicitation Section B

Solicitation Page 74 of 77, Section B, states if a MACC Contractor does not intend to submit a proposal in response to Task Order RFP, the MACC Contractor shall notify the Contracting Office in writing, within two (2) days of receiving the Task Order RFP. Contractors require receipt of RFPs, review of RFPs, attendance at Site Visit, submission of PPIs and government responses to PPIs, followed by discussions with supporting resources and suppliers before a contractor can determine their intent to provide a proposal or not. Confirm notification to the government of intent to not provide a proposal can be submitted at anytime during the solicitation period prior to bid?

As Solicitation Page 74 of 77, Section B states, the MACC Contractor shall notify the Contracting Office in writing, within two (2) days of receiving the Task Order RFP if MACC Contractor does not intend to submit a proposal in response to Task Order RFP.

Contractor notification to not provide a proposal can be submitted anytime during the solicitation period prior to bid.

42 2/16/2024 Main Spec 01 11 00 Section 1.3, sub-section 1.3.1

Section 1.3, sub-section 1.3.1 Term of Contract does not match solicitation documents. There are conflicts on capacity and ranges. Correct accordingly.

See Amendment 0002

43 2/16/2024 Main Spec 01 14 00 Section 1.3.2

Section 1.3.2 suggests regular working hours are from 0900 to 1700, Monday thru Friday. Regular working hours as stated are not practical nor consistent with known past MACC contract actual work hours performed. It is believed that Regular Work Hours should be defined as 0700-1800, Monday through Saturday, which is consistent with normal practice, and will also reduce contract documentation processes for both government and contractor by reducing requests and approvals for work outside regular work hours. Confirm regular work hours can be amended to more practical hours?

Regular working hours will consist of an 8 hour period established by the Contracting Officer, between 06:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Government holidays. Refer to Amendment 0002.

44 2/16/2024 Main Spec 01 35 26 Specification states “The SSHO must have completed the NAVFAC Far East 24-hour EM 385-1-1 Awareness Course for Contractors within 6 months of award of contract”; however, government has not scheduled classes frequently or consistently enough to accommodate this requirement. Will government be providing and or increasing the training cycles for this requirement?

Contractors should contact NAVFAC Far East for course schedules.

45 2/16/2024 Main Spec 01 45 00.00

Specification states “the QC Manager must have completed the course entitled “Construction Quality Management (CQM) for Contractors,’ training which is “periodically provided by the government”; however, government has not scheduled classes frequently or consistently enough to accommodate this requirement. Will government be providing and or increasing the training cycles for this requirement?

CQM Training for Contractor(s) will be provided as need. The Contractor(s) must contact PWD Okinawa or MCB Butler for training cycles.

46 2/16/2024 DOW – Seed Project Section VIII, #1

Seed Project DOW, Section VIII, #1, states to “See Submittal Register”.

Provide Seed Project specific Submittal Register?

Provided. Please see Attached_Sub_Reg_OkinawaMiniMACC

47 2/16/2024 Solicitation On current MACC requirements, NAVFAC is utilizing “contractor employees” to perform “inherently government functions” to manage post-award Task Order requirements. U.S.

government policies and regulations are very specific on the limitations of “contractor employees” roles related to contracts. Will the government continue to utilize contractor employees in the

Per DFARS Clause 252.201-7000, the contracting officer's representative (COR) is designated by the Contracting Officer and shall be an employee, military or civilian, of the U.S. Government, a foreign government, or a North Atlantic Treaty Organization/coalition partner. In no case shall contractor personnel serve as CORs.

inherently government function of management of Task Orders post-award?

48 2/16/2024 14 26 20 00 2.9 Wires and cables

The specifications for this Mini-MACC states that the wires and cables to be use for any project should be manufactured within 12 months prior to date of delivery.

The current UFGS (dated October 2023) however have updated this section and made changes allowing 24 months prior to date of delivery.

Given the proposal provides a copy of the JV agreement and a detailed statement describing this type of partnership between the business entities, the one JV member responsible for performing work requiring a construction license may provide their license in the proposal. An offer may be rejected if the company name identified on the submittals is different from the JV, LLC or LTD name identified on the agreement.
