Both are wall type A2

Window and Louver schedule on AE603 is inconsistent with the window and louver types. The schedule shows a Type C with a quantity of 1, the types does not show a Type C but has details for a Type B. It is also unclear where these windows/louvers are located – if they are meant to be the thru-wall louvers at the exterior wall on AE101 then the quantity should be 4 and not 1.

f. If awarded, the FF&E modification will be awarded at least six months prior to the contract completion date. A minimum of six months is required for the Contractor to purchase, deliver and install the FF&E without impacting the overall completion date of the project. The Contractor's schedule must assume the award of the FF&E as an option.

Paragraph 2.4.2 of Section 13-34-19 says that the color will be chosen from manufacturer's color charts and chips.

Please confirm that standard manufacturers' colors are to be chosen since there is not a Centria P762 Cambridge White.

Colors are to match building CEP 209 Tower Addition. The panel used on that project was Centra's

Cambridge White. Use the metal building manufactures standard colors to color match with CEP 209.

188 13-34-19 1.6.4

The specification states the erector for metal buildings has to be certified by the metal building companies. There is not a certification by the metal buildings manufacturer. They only provide training classes and our metal building subs have a proven history of successful projects.

Please clarify this requirement.

Many metal building manufacturers provide certifications for installation of their building products.

189 07-42-13 2.2.2.3

Please confirm that Plastisol coating on roof and wall panel is really required. It is very expensive and is not a normal application by the metal building manufacturer. Please confirm if this is required. Since NAVFAC is getting the manufacturer's warranty anyway, and this does not extend a warranty coverage in any way.

Specification Section 07 42 13 is for the metal wall panels only.

Paragraph 1.10.2 of Section 13 34 19 states that “Repairs that become necessary because of defective materials and workmanship while roof panel system is under warranty are to be performed within 24 hours after notification, unless additional time is approved by the Contracting Officer. Failure to perform repairs within 24 hours of notification will constitute grounds for having emergency repairs performed by others and not void the warranty. Immediate follow-up and completion of permanent repairs must be performed within 10 days from date of notification.” The metal building manufacturer's standard warranty does not address any time of performance requirements. Please confirm these requirements can be removed wherever found in specification sections 07 41 13, 07 42 13, and 13 34 19.

The contracting officer has the authority to extend the amount of time for repairs for defective materials and workmanship.

In order for a project to be considered relevant as new construction/addition work, the value of the new construction/addition work must independently meet project size and scope/complexity requirements.

Likewise, in order for a project to be considered relevant as renovation work, the value of the renovation work must independently meet project size and scope/complexity requirements.

Do we take this to mean that a project must combine at least $5M in new construction/addition work and $5M for renovation work for a project total of $10M to be valid or $2.5M in new construction/addition work and $2.5M for renovation work for a project total of $5M to be valid?

The value of new construction and renovation cannot be combined to meet the size standard of $5M.

New construction and renovation portions of a project must meet the size standard independently.

Factor 1, Corporate Experience, Basis of Evaluation section of the RFP states, “Relevant projects that demonstrate the ability to perform multiple projects simultaneously may be considered more favorably than those who do not have experience performing multiple simultaneous projects.” However, the Factor 1, Corporate Experience, Notes section of the RFP states, “A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project and will not be considered.”

Is it the intention of the Government to receive program examples in Factor 1 – Corporate Experience “Data Sheets” that demonstrate Offerors capabilities to perform multiple concurrent task orders?

Or is it the intention for Offerors to include examples in narrative form in a separate section under Corporate Experience tab?

Where shall offerors provide information demonstrating Offeror's ability to perform multiple projects simultaneously?

Factor 1 - Corporate Experien ce

2nd to last paragraph

Factor 1, Corporate Experience section of the RFP requires Construction & Design Experience Data Sheets be limited to two

(2) single side pages of an RFP attachment form provided - Attachment C - Construction & Design Experience Project Data Sheet. The requirement for projects over $5M and a single project with value of $10M is difficult to provide full descriptions of projects this size with the current page limitations. The project details are also required to be provided in Attachment C table format which also reduces amount of words available per page. A project's general information for the Title, Value, Performance Periods, Point of Contact Information, etc. take up the first page and a quarter of the second page. This data sheet requests project description and relevancy to the project requirements, description of design effort, identification/scope of each building system, unique features to be described in one quarter of second page.

In the second quarter of the data sheet the self-performance narrative is to be provided. And in the last quarter of the second page Other Information is requested, no description. This volume of information requested for projects valued from $5 - $10M will require more room to describe projects and is not achieveable within the current limitations. Offerors will be greatly disadvantaged with the current page limitations.

3.4.3 Subcontractor Management

3.4.4 Schedule Requirements

The current page limitations greatly restrict Offeror's ability to properly respond to each of the above important topics without limiting each topic to a brief general response. There are 14 topics required to be addressed over a total of six (6) single sided pages. The current page restrctions will limit each topic to less than a half page per topic.

Offerors would not be able to sufficiently describe management processes and procedures for these integral project management systems for cost/budget management, subcontractor management, schedule management, multiple concurrent project management and design build approach within less than half of a page. Offerors will be greatly disadvantaged by the current page limitations.
