PRE-PROPOSAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
RFP N62742-21-R-1319
FY22 MCON P-519, X-RAY WHARF IMPROVEMENTS (BERTH 2), NAVAL BASE
GUAM, GUAM
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.
10. Given the current extreme volatility in construction materials pricing (steel, lumber, electrical, plastic products, etc.), manufacturers and suppliers are unwilling to commit to pricing beyond 30 to 60 days. This places an enormous pricing risk on prime contractors and subcontractors including many small business firms that would like to compete for this project.
With this material pricing uncertainty facing the U.S. construction industry, it’s very difficult and costly to submit firm fixed prices. There is a fair and equitable solution available under FAR 52.216-4 Economic Price Adjustment-Labor and Material. This clause protects both the Government and the contractor from price fluctuations. In reviewing the list of FAR clauses included in the RFP solicitation documents, FAR 52.216-4 was not included. Please consider adding FAR 52-216-4 to the solicitation to provide a fair and equitable clause that will help all parties including the Government, contractor and subcontractors avoid uncontrollable price increases due to the volatile materials market.
ANSWER: The Government will review the request to include FAR 52.216-4 and if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government, the clause may be incorporated into phase 2 via amendment.
