1 Part 1 Factor 1 Technical Approach and Factor 2 Experience

Page 9, under Factor 1 Technical Approach, the RFP states to provide teaming agreement or letters of commitment "for any subcontractors that will be proposed as completing work."

However, under Factor 2 Experience, it states "The Offeror may NOT utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience."

Given the specialty nature of the work, ACM, we suggest the Navy allows at least one (1) project from a subcontractor (modular for example) in Factor 2, as long as offerors provide a letter of commitment and demonstrate the subcontractor will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract.

Conflicting Information

Contracting Pending

2 Part 1 Chapter-1

Factor 2 Exp states: The Offeror may NOT utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor unless the following information applies as a Small Business, etc.

However if the offeror is a Large Business can it can use ACM vendors as part of its project experience?

Section 00 21 00, Proposal Submission Requirements, para 4. Financial Questionnaire and the Financial Questionnaire Form. The solicitation and Form require the Financial Questionnaire “to be completed and submitted by financial institution”. Our financial institution has a policy that precludes them from completing a client/ owner’s form or questionnaire nor in communicating with the client/owner by email or other means.

a. As permitted on other recent NAVFAC SW RFPs (e.g., N6247323R1214; IDIQ MACC for Demolition Projects at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard), please revise the instructions in the RFP and the Financial Questionnaire Form to allow the Offeror to submit the Financial Questionnaire to the Navy directly when signed by an authorized representative of the Offeror and supported by a letter from the Offeror's financial institution on its own letterhead.

b. Please confirm the Offeror may, in lieu of the financial institution, submit the completed Financial Questionnaire package via email by the due date of Phase One.

Section 00 21 00, Proposal Submission Requirements, para 4 has been revised.

We note that prior notices to industry Cross Laminated Timber was noted as an ACM methodology.

Further in recent testimony NAVFAC Chief Engineer stated “In Congressional testimony, Hamilton said the new facility will use a hybrid mass timber exterior envelope consisting of cross-laminated walls and diaphragms. "DOD has expressly acknowledged the applicability of CLT with the creation of a guide specification," Hamilton said. "As the CLT construction industry matures, CLT may prove more competitive and could be utilized more broadly in DOD construction."

Is CLT an ACM NAVFAC will accept? If so, will you expand the construction projects to six?

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is an acceptable form of ACM.

The number of construction projects allowed for Factor 2, Experience will remain unchanged with a maximum of five (5) projects.

7 Part 1

Section 01 20 00 Phase 1 FACTOR 2 states relevancy criteria for ACM projects to be within the last seven years and over $15M

USD.

Due to the infrequency of relevant projects in the market truly using ACM, we request that the relevancy period is extended to 15 years.

The relevancy period will remain unchanged. Relevant projects shall be 100% complete (see definition) within the past seven (7) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

Section 01 20 00 Phase 1 FACTOR 2 states relevancy criteria for ACM projects to be within the last seven years and over $15M

USD.

Due to the fact that ACM projects as defined in the governments part as "..modular components, offsite prefabricated construction, tension fabric structures, and pre-engineered metal or fiber reinforced panel buildings.." typically result in lower overall construction costs, we request the relevancy threshold lowered to $10M USD

The relevancy threshold will remain unchanged. Relevant projects shall have a minimum construction cost of $15 million.

9 Part 1 Chapter-1 Factor 1

Factor 1 requires contractors to provide their "primary ACM vendor(s)". Please confirm this is not mandatory for Offerors who are not teaming with ACM vendors at the MAC level and/or offering that ACM vendor's experience as a JV or designer under Factor 2.

Given the multiple types of ACM available, the different types of projects anticipated under this MAC, the number of ACM vendors, and the geographical coverage of this MAC, many offerors will choose ACM vendors as subcontractors at the task order level.

Intent needs clarification

Contracting

You may provide primary ACM vendor for Factor 1, if applicable to your Team Composition and Management, however, it is not required. ACM vendor(s) are required to be submitted for each project under Factor 2.
