In question 5 of the MACC Frequently ask questions, it states both Jv partners must have reletive experience. Does this apply to Mentor Protégé JV offerors? If so it is direct conflict with CFR 13 CFR 125.8 (e) which clearly states "A procuring activity may not require the protégé firm to individually meet the same evaluation or responsibility criteria as that required of other offerors generally." We respectfully ask for this provision for Mentor Proteges to be incorporated into the evaluation criteria as to not disadvantage Mentor Protege offers.

Conflicting Information Other/Unsure

The Government has revised the response to this RFI. Please see Amendment 0001 of the solicitation. In accordance with 13 C.F.R. 125.8(e), if the joint venture is an SBA approved Mentor-Protégé joint venture, the partners of the joint venture in aggregate must demonstrate the relevant project experience necessary to perform the contract.

35 Part 1 if Others include info under Column E

The Government requires thatall Offerors (both large and small businesses) shall submit, on Exhibit “D” (Past Performance – Small Business Participation) under Tab “3,” the requested information for each project submitted in Factor 2 (Experience) in order to validate their prior utilization of small business subcontracting. Past performance information submitted for projects other than those submitted in Factor 2 will not be considered. Because our company is a small business, our previous projects did not require that we meet small business participation goals. We would like to request that the Government not require Exhibit D to be completed by small businesses.

Intent needs clarification

Other/Unsure

There will be no change to the RFP. As stated in the RFP under Factor 3, Past Performance, "Note: Small business Offerors shall clearly identify their small business category for each project submitted. On Exhibit “D” (Past Performance – Small Business Participation), items

(a) – (h) are for SUBCONTRACTED values only. Do not include self-performed work under these items." Please also see Government response to RFI #7 and updated Exhibit "D" in the solicitation (see sam.gov site) dated 11 August 2021 to correct typographical error from "Factor 2: Past Performance" to "Factor 3: Past Performance".

Secton 00210, Factor 1 and Exhibit A

The response to Question 17 indicates “Yes, as stated in Factor 1, Technical Approach of the RFP, use Exhibit "A", Offeror Team Composition and Management. Offer shall be responsible to identify all key personnel of the primary/lead design firm.”

The Tab 1 - Factor 1, Technical Approach submission requirements and evaluation criteria reference identification and discussion of firms as well as a simple organization chart listing entities. The Tab 1 – Exhibit A instructions do not state to include names of key personnel for construction or design. Furthermore, given the nature of this MACC contract, construction and design personnel are likely to be identified for specific task orders based on location and scope of work. Based on these factors, please confirm that offerors are NOT required to identify key personnel names for construction and/or design on the Exhibit A format submitted in Tab 1 – Factor 1, Technical Approach.

Conflicting Information Contracting Please see the Government response to RFI# 17 above.
