Section 00 21

Instructions 12. Bonding Requirements

10 1.On the SolicitaƟon LeƩer paragraph 11. Bonding Requirements stated that the Offerors shall demonstrate adequate bonding capabilities of at least $ 10,000,000.00 per project and aggregate value of at least $ 25,000,000.00. and to be considered eligible for award for both Blue and Gold JOC’s, Offerors MUST submit surety certifying aggregate bonding capability of at least $ 50,000,000.00.

Just for clarification? If our bonding surety company has approved only $ 25,000,000.00, we can only Bid / Offer for (1) One JOC which we select (it’s either Blue JOC or Gold JOC) or The Government JOC assign to the Offeror.

It is the Offerors discretion to submit only one (1) price proposal (i.e. for one location). If such, the offeror shall clearly mark to which location the proposal is for. However, this does not preclude offerors with bonding capabilities of at least $10M per project and at least $25M aggregate from submitting proposals for both the Blue and Gold JOCs as the Government will make two (2) separate best value determinations based on the proposals received for Blue JOC locations and Gold JOC locations. The awards shall be made to the offeror(s) representing the best value to the Government as a result of the independent best value determinations of each JOC.

To be considered eligible for one (1) JOC contract, offerors MUST provide as part of their submission, a letter from surety certifying bonding capabilities of at least $10,000,000 per project and an aggregate value of at least $25,000,000.

To be considered eligible for award for both Blue and Gold JOCs, the offeror MUST submit a letter from their surety certifying aggregate bonding capability of at least $50,000,000. Inability to meet this requirement will render them ineligible for award for at least one location and the Government can proceed selecting the next best value proposal.

It is the Offerors discretion to submit only one (1) price proposal (i.e. for one location). If such, the offeror shall clearly mark to which location the proposal is for. However, this does not preclude offerors with bonding capabilities of at least $10M per project and at least $25M aggregate from submitting proposals for both the Blue and Gold JOCs as the Government will make two (2) separate best value determinations based on the proposals received for Blue JOC locations and Gold JOC locations. The awards shall be made to the offeror(s) representing the best value to the Government as a result of the independent best value determinations of each JOC.

To be considered eligible for one (1) JOC contract, offerors MUST provide as part of their submission, a letter from surety certifying bonding capabilities of at least $10,000,000 per project and an aggregate value of at least $25,000,000.

Attachment C Price Schedule N/A N/A Estimated volume of Work

(EVW)

Can we request a detailed breakdown of the provided EVW Amount to itemized costs per materials, labor and equipment?

The EVW does not have a detailed breakdown because it is not an individual project task order, rather it is only a historical estimated amount of the total cumulative work of task orders of the previous year. The provided EVW is only used as a basis so all contractors will consistently use the same numbers. The only real application that needs to be provided is each contractor's coefficient.

24 09/19/25 Completed RFP - Section 01 00 00 - General Requirements

01 00 00 Coefficients 3.1.2 04 of 12 Coefficient for Pre-Priced line items

We request clarification regarding the applciation of overhead and profit in the pricing of Non Pre- Priced line items under this contract.

• Section 3.1.2 states that the Non Pre-Priced line item price shall be based on the quotes "which include the isntalling contractor's Overhead and Profit." prior to the applciation of the coefficient.

• Section 3.2, however, stated that the coefficient iteself "must include all costs…. Including profit."

This appears to result in potential double-counting of overhead and profit for Non Pre-Priced items.

Could you please confirm whether:

1. The coefficient for Non Pre-Priced line items should exclude O&P since it is already contained in the quotes, or

2. The intent is for both the quotes and the coefficient to contain O&P, and if so, how this is to be applied without duplication.

See revised section 3.1.2 of Attachment K - Section 01 00 00 General Requirements_rev2. Last sentence is changed:

From: The Non Pre-Price line item price is calculated by combining the quotes total cost (which includes the installing contractor’s Overhead and Profit), applicable material taxes, and then multiplying that result by the appropriate Coefficient factor.

To: The Non Pre-Price line item price is calculated by combining the quotes total cost (excluding the installing contractor’s Overhead and Profit), applicable material taxes, and then multiplying that result by the appropriate Coefficient factor.
