Page Section Para. Question Response

3 Amendment 1, issued on February 2,2022, specific to 5.1 System of Award Management (SAM) Database:

Stated, “All contractors are advised that registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) Database is required prior to submission of SF330 package. If the firm is operating as a Joint Venture Entity, the Joint Venture shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) Database prior to submission of SF330 package. Failure to register in the SAM Database may render your firm ineligible for award.”

Prior to the Original Published Date: Jan 28, 2022, we began creating a Joint Venture, specific to this NAVFAC requirement, with the assumption ”All contractors are advised that registration in System for Award Management (SAM) Database be required prior to award of a contract.” This process, submitting and receiving approval from State and Federal Agencies, for TIN, DUNS, CAGE, and SAM are nonconcurrent and normally take 45 calendar days. Time between amendment and Offer Date is 33 Calendar Days. This places a disadvantage for you to receive a competitive unrestricted proposal.

Question: Given the fact the normal process to obtain a SAM registration is 45 days, compounded with known government delays due to COVID, would you extend the Offer Due Date 60 days from February 02, 2022 to allow sufficient time for teams to obtain SAM registration in order to foster greater competition and

For design-build projects where the firm’s role is Designer of Record and the firm performed professional services of full design plans and specification will be evaluated as Design-Bid-Build experience.

19 - Criterion 1-Specialized Experience (SF330, Part I, Section F): We recommend with the extended period of relevant project completion (7 years rather than 5) that NAVFAC considers Navy projects with FC 300-09N experience more favorably than other DoD agency projects. Consider adding a “may be considered more favorably” feature to Criterion 1 such as: “Demonstrated experience on Navy installations within the primary geographic area of this contract.” This feature has been included in many other recent Midlant AE IDIQ multi-discipline procurements.

(2) pages"

21 Criterion 2 — Professional Qualifications (SF330, Part I, Sections E & G): Would the addition of resumed Disciplines or Specialties over and above those considered Key Personnel per the synopsis have the potential to favorably impact the evaluation of Section E?

No, Bid per Synopsis.

22 Criterion 2 — Professional Qualifications (SF330, Part I, Sections E & G): Cost Engineer is identified as Key Personnel.

Do you require a registered professional engineer or is a certification such as the Nationwide Certified Cost Professional (CCP) meet the requirements? Industry standard does not require cost estimators to be registered professional engineers.

Professional registration is not require for the Cost Engineer, but certification such as Nationwide Certified Cost Profession (CCP) is required.

23 What is the cutoff date and time to submit questions?

See Amendment 2.

24 Within Criterion 2, Professional Qualifications, please clarify the maximum number of individual resumes that will be evaluated for each key personnel role.

Bid per Synopsis.

There is no maximum number of key personnel for Criterion 2.

25 Within Criterion 2, Professional Qualifications, please clarify if the resumes are limited to two pages per person resumed or two pages total if multiple personnel are resumed for the same position.

Resumes are limited to 2 pages per person.

26 The RFP references the need for a Registered Communication Distribution Designer (RCDD) within paragraph B.4 of Appendix “B”. Because of the specialized nature of this role, should this be considered a key personnel role within Criterion 2, Professional Qualifications?

Registered Communication Distribution Designer (RCDD) is required per FC 1- 300-09N

27 In view of most personnel teleworking during COVID, will you consider removing the mailed/hardcopy proposal requirement?

Bid per Synopsis.

28 May we use subconsultant projects in Section F or do all five need to come from the Prime?

No, Bid per Synopsis

29 The current and previous contracts for the NAVFAC MidLant Hampton Roads Large Projects IDIQ have been held by the same firm since 2015. By requiring Specialized Experience projects be completed within the last 7 years, this limits the ability of other teams to show relevant project experience for NAVFAC MidLant within the Hampton Roads AOR. We request the project completion date be extended to 10 years. If changed, the project completion dates would mirror the current time requirements listed for key personnel resume project experience resulting in a more comprehensive offering to the Government.

2. Demonstrated experience to Navy facility projects, demonstrating capability of AE firm and individual team members (AE staff, key personnel, sub-consultants) to develop/prepare Regional DD1391 using MII cost estimating software.

3. Demonstrated experience providing Value Engineer Study or Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis (CSRA) per FC 1-300-09N.

NOTE: Project examples that include only inspection and condition assessment effort and associated reports do NOT demonstrate specialized experience and will NOT be considered services similar to those anticipated under this contract.

Submission requirements: Provide seven (7) projects completed within the past seven (7) years immediately preceding the date of issuance of this notice that best demonstrate specialized experience of the proposed team in the areas outlined above. Sufficient information to determine the date of completion the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered.

Provide at least one example project demonstrating experience with a final construction cost $30M or more. If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate the first seven (7) projects in the order submitted. Offerors must clearly define the professional service role performed by offeror in relationship to the project owner. For Design-Build projects, where the firm’s role is Designer of Record and firm performed professional services of full design plans and specifications for Prime Contractor will be evaluated as design-bid-build experience. For item b) only experience where firms prepared the design-build RFP package will be considered services similar to those anticipated under this contract.
