Q116: See question below:

1. Factor 4 requires the submittal of a Small Business Participation and Commitment Strategy, following the format of RFP Exhibit D, which relates to an Offeror's final proposed price, as well as the determination of proposed subcontractors and suppliers. Kindly note that an Offeror's final pricing and subcontractor selection is normally not determined until bid day and, most times in order to provide the government with the best competitive number, right before bid time; this is made even more difficult being a design-build project. Therefore, as such has been understood and allowed on other NAVFAC submittals, we kindly ask that you consider allowing the submittal of Non-Price Proposal Factor 4 and electronic copies of the proposal at least one (1) business day after the submittal of the RFP Part A Documents, Price Proposal, and Non-Price Proposal Factors 1, 2, 3, & 5.

2. The last sentence of subparagrah (3) at the top of RFP page 29 of 61 states "The small business participation and commitment strategy must be in agreement with any required small business subcontracting plan and will be made a part of the contract upon award." However, we do not note the submission of the subcontracting plan described in Section 00 22 16 for large business offerors, nor listed as part of the proposal submission parts under RFP Section 00 21 16, Para. 3.2.

Kindly clarify if a subcontracting plan is required as part of the proposal submission, and if so, specify the submission requirement. If such is indeed required, we kindly ask that you consider allowing the submittal of subcontracting plan as part of the Non-Price Proposal Factor 4 and electronic copies submission and at least one (1) business day after the submittal of the RFP Part A Documents, Price Proposal, and Non-Price Proposal Factors 1, 2, 3, & 5, as described above.

A116: No. Factor 4 – Small Business Utilization is due on the date and time indicated in RFP Amendment 0002. After receipt of proposals, Offerors will be contacted and provided with the Small Business Subcontracting Plan template and instructions on submitting the plan.

Q117: Response A18 of Notice 1 refers to Response A16, which states to "Provide prices for all in CLINS in Sec 00 10 00 and Representations & Certifications and the price proposal." As Response A16 did not clearly address what we understand Question A18 to be inquiring, we are requesting further clarification by submittal of this question.

Please understand that from review of the RFP documents, we note that CLINs 0001 thru 0007 on SF1442/Sec 00 10 00 (unnumbered pages 3-7) are nearly the exact same CLINs and information noted on RFP page 8 of 61 (noted as "Price Proposal Schedule").

Therefore:

a.Kindly confirm that RFP page 8 of 61 titled "Price Proposal Schedule" is considered to part of the "CLINS in Sec 0010 00".

b. If so, please understand that an Offeror is already under an extreme time crunch to provide a competitive number and complete proposal on bid day, and more so if the Factor 4 - SB Participation information is required on the same bid day, though we've also requested your consideration to have this due the next business day. Therefore, in consideration of those factors and to avoid having an offeror submit redundant pricing information, we kindly request the government's consideration to only have an Offeror complete page 8 of 61 titled "Price Proposal Schedule", and not both CLINs 0001 thru 0007 on SF1442/Sec 00 10 00 (unnumbered pages 3-7) and RFP page 8 of 61 titled "Price Proposal Schedule".

A117: See responses below:

a. Confirmed.

b. Complete price proposal schedule only. Refer to RFP Amendment 0002.

Q118: Part 3 Chapter 5 Room Requirements call for 169 EA, TA 50 Lockers. Please provide minimum required size of TA 50 Lockers.
