Many subcontractors will not have pricing available the day prior to bid submission. Can you please consider accepting hand-delivered bids for the original and CD-ROM versions.

No, bid per RFP. See Amendment 0005.

105 9 of 59 Experience, Para. 1

Requires one of the relevant projects to have a final construction cost of $2,000,000 or greater. The last paragraph on page 10 of 59, under Factor 1, states that “the absence of one project that has a $2,000,000 or greater final construction cost…will result in a rating of

UNACCEPTABLE

for this Factor.” This $2M requirement precludes recently certified 8(a) companies from qualifying even if they have the relevant construction experience required to perform under this contract. We respectfully request that this final construction cost requirement be lowered to allow for fair competition from all 8(a) firms.
