This is a risk to the Government as the defined 3,000 square meters of Apron is not similar in size or complexity to the proposed work. Will the Government add a new evaluation criteria such that all projects presented in Factor 1 shall be a minimum of 10M Euro final cost for aircraft parking apron work, that will be in the best interest of the Government and to allow a fair competition.

2.1.8 2 Paragraph states:"In the case of a JV, all members of the JV must have the SOA certifications. The leading member of the JV must have the SOA certification in the Prevailing Work Category."

The purpose of a JV is to bring together different expertise in order to form the best team to respond to project needs. We think that it is of advantage to the Government to remove this requirement in order to allow the inclusion in the JV of a larger range of players such as Engineering and Project Management companies, US companies with large experience working for the US DoD, specialized consultants that support the creation of the most effective project team. We respectfully request this requirement to be removed from the Solicitation, given the Best Value nature of the RFP and the statements in the other paragraphs of section 2

In order to allow a more thorough representation of Corporate experience with regards to the specific definition of "relevant projects" we request the possibility to also submit projects that are over 70% complete with preliminary CPARS rating released by the Goverment and for which the Aircraft Parking Apron Pavement portion is already completed.

The Government has considered your question. Solicitation will remain unchanged.

CURRENT:

Factor 3 – Technical Solution:

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Provide a narrative describing the technical solution to the project that meets the requirements of the RFP. Include the following:

Summary of the technical approach, including the means/methods, material and tools to be utilized to complete the work; mitigation plans for anticipated problems, logistical challenges and site constraints.

A Project organizational chart that lists the key positions (Project Manager, Site Safety & Health Officer, Design QCM, Construction QCM, Superintendent, and subcontractors). The organizational chart shall clearly identify the lines of authority between the entities. If the experience of a significant subcontractor is being claimed in Factor 1, the firm must be named in the above narrative and organizational chart.

Provide a project schedule with a Gantt chart. Include the contract duration, and all major aspects of construction project. The contract timeframe identified in the RFP defines the acceptable contract duration; a shorter contract duration is desirable. The Government will evaluate a comparison of the contractor’s proposed contract duration and the acceptable contract duration. The Government’s evaluation of the contractor’s proposed schedule is a means of determining whether the contractor understands the scope of work and approaches the tasks in a logical and effective manner. Provide a narrative that explains the proposed contract duration, scheduling innovations and methods to provide a shorter contract duration.

Narrative shall not exceed five (5) double-sided pages (or ten (10) single-sided pages). In addition, provide one single-sided schedule Gantt chart to graphically present the contract duration. The Gantt chart may be on a single 11x17 or A3 page that will not count against the page limitation for the narrative.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate the narrative and schedule considering the extent to which the Offeror demonstrates a clear understanding of the engineering requirements of the project. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical solution to determine adherence to the technical requirements of the RFP, including adherence to the provided schedule milestones.
