PPI Tech/CS Govt Response:

Addressed in Amendment

Number

Section 00 21 16, RFP page 6 of 96 states “A cover letter shall accompany both the technical and price proposals, and shall include..” Please confirm that the Phase I proposal does not require the submission of a price proposal.

CS **Revised** See Amend 0004 Amend 0004

Factor 2 – Corporate Experience:

Pg 9-10

(a) (1) Construction Experience States:

If a project was performed by a JV, and not all partners from that JV are on the JV proposed for this contract, the offeror shall clearly demonstrate what portion of the work was performed by the JV member offering on this contract and shall not include work performed by the JV as a whole.

Please clarify how JV project experience will be evaluated if all partners from that JV are not proposed for this contract.

For example, will the Government evaluate a JV project equally favorably as a non-JV project if the offer can demonstrate that it had a majority share of the JV, greater than 50%, and self-performed a significant amount of the physical work; and employed key supervisory personnel on the project; and was jointly responsible for management of 100% of the overall work?

CS The Government will evaluate the JV experience as stated in Factor 2 Construction Experience, Basis of evaluation. Amend 0004

On page 10 in the (2) Design Experience section of the RFP it states:

At least two projects shall demonstrate design-build experience. Failure to provide at least two recent and relevant projects demonstrating design-build experience will result in a deficiency for Factor 2 – Experience.

Questions #001: Does this sentence imply that the Prime Contractor bidding the project must have executed at least 2 Design and Build projects within the last 5 years with a contract value greater than $15MILLION. Will the Government allow a key subcontractor or multiple key subcontractors to provide the Design and Build Experience for the Prime Contractor despite the Prime Contractor lacking the required Design and Build contract experience within the last 5 years. Will the Government accept the Designer of Record Design and Build experience to satisfy the 2-project minimum for the Prime Contractor?

CS No subcontractor experience will be evaluated Amend 0004

Factor 3 – Past Performance, pg 11-12 Reference PPI 12,35,36

For design firm experience projects past performance:

If design firm has a copy of the PPQ from a project with another GC (not the offeror on this proposal) that was completed regarding the overall performance as assessed by the client for that project, will that be acceptable to establish design firm past performance instead of the CPARS?

CS See Government's resonse to PPI 060 Amend 0004

Reference: Amendment 0003, PPI Response #055

PPI response #055 states that the Phase I proposal does not require the submission of a Price Proposal. Please confirm offerors are to place the SF1442, Surety Letter, Surety and Financial Questionnaire Forms (Attachments G), SAM Registration / Representations and Certifications in Section 00 45 00, and VETS-4212 after the Cover Letter and before Factors 1-4 within the Non-Price Proposal.

CS See Amendment 0004. Government's response to PPI 055 is revised. Amend 0004

Can the Government please extend the bid date to allow Small Business enough time to respond the Solicitation? Since the Government didn’t decrease the experience minimum in Amendment 1 it was decided that we and our design team couldn’t pursue the program. Now that it’s been lowered, we feel we’ll need more time to put together our proposal and solicitate design teams.

Thank you.

CS Solicitation Revised, see Amend 0004 Amend 0004
