NOTE: The following questions and answers are provided for INFORMATION ONLY. The RFP remains unchanged unless it is amended in writing on a Standard Form 30.

81. Factor 1 – Experience and Qualifications require a maximum of six (6) construction projects to demonstrate relevant experience in: Petroleum Bulk Fuel Storage Tanks, Aviation Fuel Systems, and Programmable Logical Controllers (PLC). The instructions indicate that projects submitted to demonstrate each specific feature will only be considered if the work was performed by a specific entity proposed as identified in Block 1 of Attachment (A).

Basis for Evaluation further states “Offerors that include a relevant construction project with multiple individual features maybe considered more favorably than those Offerors that include relevant construction projects with one individual feature.” Block 1 only allows information for one entity, requiring the Offeror to provide the “Name of Firm that Performed Relevant Individual Feature.” We have projects that have multiple individual features performed by the team being proposed. If we want consideration for two or more relevant features from a single completed project and both firms are proposed to be utilized, should we list both proposed firms in Block 1? Or must we list the same project twice, using two of the 6 allowed projects, to receive relevancy credit for both firms on the same single project?

ANSWER: Yes, if a single completed project includes multiple relevant features that were performed by the specific entities proposed to perform that type of work in this project, offerors may list each proposed entity in Block 1of Attachment (A) along with the required company information. In accordance with Document 00202, Attachment (A) is still limited to “four (4) single-sided pages (or two (2) double-sided pages), 8.5” x 11” (210 x 279 mm)” and “Information exceeding the four (4) single-sided pages (or two (2) double-sided pages) will not be evaluated.”

82. Factor 1 Basis for Evaluation states “Offerors that include a relevant construction project with multiple individual features maybe considered more favorably than those Offerors that include relevant construction projects with one individual feature.” Can a relevant project with multiple individual features be considered more favorably if it contains all 3 required features but they were either not self-performed or were performed by a subcontractor NOT being proposed under this RFP?

ANSWER: No. In accordance with “Notes on Factor 1(a)(1) Experience,” Note 1, “Projects submitted to demonstrate relevant construction individual features, i.e., (1) Petroleum Bulk Fuel Storage Tanks, (2) Aviation Fuel Systems, and (3) Programmable Logical Controllers, will only be considered if the work was performed by the specific entity proposed to perform that type of work in this contract.”
