PRE-PROPOSAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
RFP N62742-21-R-1339
FY18 MCON P-103 WATER WELL FIELD US NAVSUPACT ANDERSEN, 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.
3. Ref. 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 Government has considered your request, however, the RFP remains unchanged.
4. Ref. Document 00202 (RFP) Factor 1- Experience. Paragraph (a) Relevant Construction Project Item (4). Reference Document 00202 Technical Evaluation Factors, Factor 1 – Experience, page 3, Relevant Construction Project item (4) “New construction of Wire wound circular pre-stressed concrete water tank approximately 250,000 gallons or more”. Will the Government consider a project of which only the Wire Wound pre-stressed concrete water tank with a capacity of 1,600,000 gallons of the work is more than 90% complete, accompanied with a signed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) from the Owner? Please confirm if this will be considered relevant under the Relevant Construction Project item (4).
ANSWER: The Government does not pre-evaluate proposals. RFP Document 00202 remains unchanged.
