Inquiries & Responses:

8) Question: We respectfully request SF-330 submissions be acceptable in PDF format instead of

(or in addition to) other acceptable formats including Microsoft Word.

Response: A searchable PDF is acceptable in addition to Microsoft Word. Should there be discrepancies between PDF and Microsoft Word submittals, Microsoft Word version governs.

If the Firm cannot exhibit this experience, proceed to item 2.” Please clarify, if the AE-0 Study is 1 of 2 on the same

Task Order, can both studies be listed on the project sheet?

Response: The synopsis states "provide one (1) AE-0 medical study" and "If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted". If applicable, submit 1 AE-0 medical study from the Task Order that meets the $500,000 to $900,000 requirement.

11) Question: Please confirm the maximum number of projects that can be presented in Section F. If we can offer an AE-0 project per Submission Requirement (SR) #1, can we then submit an additional 5 design projects (per SR #2)?

Response: Refer to Submission requirements under Criterion 1. Firms may submit up to one (1)

AE-0 medical study and up to five (5) design projects.

12) Question: The solicitation states that, “firms may be considered more favorably by demonstrating any of the following:” five criteria. Is there a precedence order for the 5 criteria or are they all equally weighted? If we have a project that hits more than one of the criteria, is that project given a higher rating than a project that only covers one of the criteria?

Response: The 5 "considered more favorably" items are weighted equally. The Firm is evaluated on the amount of "favorables" demonstrated in the example projects.

Response: Per the synopsis, "provide resumes for all proposed key personnel that illustrate experience in the work proposed under this contract."

Response: Refer to Submission Requirements for Criterion 1.

18) Question: For Design-Build projects, can we submit the CPARS given to the prime construction company, or will we need to get a PPQ from the end user that rates our design?

Response: Per the Synopsis, “By criterion definition, projects for the development of design-build Request for Proposals (RFP) documents do not meet the requirement of a completed project and therefore will not be considered.”

21) Question: Can you clarify the three different bullets dealing with US Dollars? What specifically are you asking for the following:

Project Construction Value: Is this the Current or Final Construction value?

Award Value: Is this our A-E Fee at award or Construction Value at award?

Current Value: Is this our Current/Final A-E Fee or Current/Final Construction Value?
