Response #64: Please refer to the Camp Pendleton website at https://www.pendleton.marines.mil/Base- Access/Contractors-Vendors/ for DBIDS access information.

Question #65: Factor 4, Past Performance requires that a CPARS be submitted if one is available. For construction projects that included an O&M period of 12 months or more, the CPARS does not discuss or evaluate the O&M performance of the contractor. In that instance, are Offerors permitted to provide a PPQ specifically addressing the O&M performance?

Response #65: If a CPARS is not available, Factor 4 – Past Performance on Page 17 of 26 of the Solicitation provides “If a completed CPARS evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation, the PPQ included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or their team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in their proposal for Factor 1 – Recent, Relevant Experience of the Firm.”

Question #66: Many recent O&M contracts at DoD facilities are part of longer-term design-build-operate contracts. As such the "award date" is greater than 5 years ago. The O&M, either as an exercised option or a continuation of the contract will have started within the past 5 years, however, is not a stand-alone contract. May Offerors use that experience, as long as the annual costs are broken out.

Response #66: A response will be forthcoming.

Question #67: Attachment J-1503030-03 indicates “5278B 1,*-CY”. Can we assume that this indicates 1-8 CY bin?

Response #67: Yes, 1- 8 CY.

Question #68: Please confirm that the contractor is not responsible for hauling away sludge/biosoilds from the SRTTP and NRTTP.

Response #68: The contractor is not responsible for hauling away sludge/biosolids from the SRTTP and NRTTP.

However, the contractor is responsible for loading the trucks brought in to remove the sludge/biosolids, as well as cleaning up the beds.

Question #69: 2.6.6 states that all work orders must be completed in Maximo on the day that they were done. Does the base supply a computer, operating system, and licenses for the MAXIMO CMMS system?

Response #69: The Base will not supply a computer, operating system, or licenses for the contractor to access Maximo. The contractor will be required to obtain a Common Access Card (CAC) from the Government to access Maximo. Maximo is accessible from the internet and does not require a license.

Question #70: 2.7.1.1 states that the PM or alternate shall be on-site during the Government's regular working hours and shall be available on-site within one hour after the Government's regular working hours. In this context, is the PM the CPO?

Response #70: The CPO can be the PM if the CPO meets the qualifications/requirements of the Project Manager defined in the description column of section 2.7.1.1.

Question #71: Can you provide the current / desired staffing for each facility?

Response #71: This is a performance-based contract; the PWS does not instruct the contractor how to do the work but instead describes performance objectives, performance standards, and measurable outcomes. The contractor shall provide staffing to meet the requirements of the RFP.

Question #72: In ANNEX 1604000 Section C 2.2.1 it describes requirements for the Chemist and Laboratory Analyst. If compliance sampling is conducted by an outside lab, are these individuals required for staffing?

Response #72: A Chemist and Laboratory Analyst is not required. The contractor is required to have staff with experience to conduct process control analysis.

Question #73: We have not been able to locate the Chemical and Material Usage list in Section J 1604000-05, Spare Parts Inventory in Section J-1604000-04 and Reclaimed System Inventory in Section J-1604000-03. Please provide.

Response #73: Chemical usage for 2017 and 2018 is attached and labeled SRTTP NRTTP Chemical Usage 2017 2018.xlsx. The disinfection chemical for recycled water changed to bulk sodium hypochlorite in 2019 and is not included in the chemical usage estimates. Attachments are provided for the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Recycled Water Inventory and labeled as follows: RWPS Equipment List, SierraOne Equipment List, and RWPS Electrical Equipment List.
