WON 1596284, FY22 MCAF PROJECT P-83003/AJJY183003,

HAYMAN MUNITIONS STORAGE IGLOOS, MSA 2,

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, 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.

1. Document 00700 (RFP)

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 RFP remains unchanged.

9. Specifications Parg 6, Attachment G, 1619/1672 up to 1626/1672

Regarding MEC Clearance requirement for the project, Part 6 Attachment G states the following areas are low probability not requiring MEC Clearance:

a. All fill materials above surrounding grade use to build igloo cover;

b. Twenty-four inches (24”) deep for areas within the footprint of existing igloo;

c. Twelve inches (12”) deep for areas within the existing roadway or pavement surface;

d. Six inches (6”) deep for the remainder of the project site (areas previously disturbed by general grading).

Building/Igloos footings from as-built drawings shows the footings/foundations for the igloos extend deeper than 24 inches. These items exceed the depth of the low likelihood determination of MEC in item (b) above. Will MEC Clearance be required for the excavation and removal (demolition) of these igloos if they exceed 24 inches in depth?

ANSWER: Yes.
