60. Inquiry: Paragraph 4.2 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS mentions that PROPOSALS

MAY NOT BE HAND DELIVERED. ALL PROPOSALS MUST BE MAILED VIA POSTAL

SERVICES OR COMMERCIAL COURIERS SUCH AS FEDEX OR UPS.

We kindly request to Government Representative to reconsider this instruction in order to authorize to offerors to emailing the proposal. Emailing bid proposal guarantees that all documents are delivered on time before due date.

61. Inquiry: We are greatly interested to bid on the subject project, we would like to address our concern of unduly restrictive requirements as below:

Reference to evaluation criteria in pages 17 and 18 of 24 of the solicitation, the RFP requires that the bidder to be registered and classified by the MOF in Spain at the time of submitting a bid. :

1- This is unduly restrictive as the requirements would result in substantial resources, investment and efforts without a guarantee of award.

2- This condition violates the principle of fair full and open competition whereas the RFP makes only bidders with existing registration and classification are eligible for award.

3- The requirement is unreasonable whereas the registration and classification may take from 90 to 160 days considering that 1322 days of the contract duration is more than enough to register and perform in compliance with Spanish laws. Taking in consideration the long lead items supply period of approximately 300-500 days. So the contractor can still register and almost complete the superstructures prior to the arrival of the long lead items whiles the site utilities and development works can be concurrent with the structure/s construction with no impact to the critical path within the 1322 days.

4- The certification and classification is part of performance requirements rather than bidding whereas the cost of such registration and certification is not reimbursed if the bidder is unsuccessful. This is unfair competition provided that the local and other bidders with existing certification would not bear this upfront cost. This is unfair competition criteria. Additionally, this requirement favors local contractors or contractors with existing registration over qualified contractors that are not yet registered and willing to expand for overseas business. Such requirements will consistently favor the growth of those contractors over bringing new qualified contractors to the international growth.

Response: The U.S. Navy is required to comply with instructions implementing international agreements. Therefore, the requirement will remain unchanged.

62. Inquiry: The design level for the recycling center is +27,40m, which is significatively higher than the existing terrain (+25,75m), so backfilling would be necessary to reach those elevations. Could you please confirm this point?

As for the Forklift Charging building, ground levels are not available. Could you provide them and together with the tests conducted in that area?

Response: Refer to grading sheets for existing surface grades and contours. Design finish floor elevations are as indicated on the drawings. Earthwork fill/cuts will be required as necessary to reach finish subgrade elevations.

Boring C-5 is the closest sampling point to Forklift Charging building, refer to drawings B-101 and B-

603. Boring records provide surface elevations at the boring location, existing and design spot elevations are provided on the grading sheets.

63. Inquiry: In Note 3 of plan S002A, it is stated that “ground improvement is necessary to provide adequate support for the foundations and concrete slab. The ground improvement shall consist of excavation of the existing clay subsoil within the building limits, extending 1.5 m horizontally beyond the exterior perimeter walls. The fill shall be done with mass concrete.”

However, in Zone 7 of plan S101A, it is indicated that the minimum depth of improvement is 1.2 m below the finished ground level, and the slab is to be backfilled with selected material.

Yet, in Note 8 of the same plan, it is stated that the foundation for walls and columns shall be improved using mass concrete.

However, in plan S502A, it is indicated that the concrete fill must reach at least 3 m below the top face of the slab.

Clarification is requested.

Response: Refer to Detail C3/S502A. Undercut to start minimum 1.2m below FFE and have a minimum overall depth of 3m below FFE. The undercut must extend 1.5m beyond perimeter wall. Backfill must be lean concrete with minimum compressive stress of 3.5MPa.

64. Inquiry: This Note 7: Civil Earthworks Notes- Construction Phasing Requirements: indicates that the

Magazines must be built before any other element for the project. Does this mean that AROS and the Recycling Center cannot be started before the Magazines are finished?

Response: Note 7 on drawing C-001 refers to the magazine area only.

65. Inquiry: “This Note 7: Civil Earthworks Notes-indicates that magazines must be phased such that magazine buildings 3401 and 3400 are constructed prior to magazines buildings 3399 and 3398. This note 7 conflicts with base bid CLIN1A and CLIN1B, and options #1 and #2. Please, clarify.

Response: Note 7 on drawing C-001 applies only to work on the awarded contract.

66. Inquiry: Please, clarify the following statement: "the placement of concrete pavements for the magazine structures must be delayed a minimum 90 calendar days after the successful placement and compaction of the earthen embankment and earth cover for the magazines structures.”

Response: “[T]he placement of concrete pavements for the magazine structures” refers to the concrete apron in front of the referenced magazine.

67. Inquiry: Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Is it acceptable to provide references for projects that are currently under construction but substantially completed?

Response: Please propose in accordance with the Solicitation. As stated under Section 00 21 00 Factor 1

– Experience, “Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be completed within the past ten (10) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.”

68. Inquiry: Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Would industrial buildings with cast-in-place reinforced concrete foundations and metal or prefabricated structures be considered valid?
