The solicitation is for the construction of infrastructure and utilities to support a system of research antennas known as the Tactical Mobile Over-the-Horizon Radar in Palau. The work includes electrical utilities, reinforced concrete pads and foundations, security fencing, access roads, parking, site work, and extensive utilities to provide a complete and usable project. The magnitude of the project is estimated between $100 million and $250 million.

PRE-PROPOSAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
RFP N62742-22-R-1322

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.
RESPONSES DEFERRED FROM NOTICE NO. 6
280. Period of Performance – 1095 Calendar days. COMMENT: There have been a number of instances occasioned by Amendments & Notices that call into question the level of confidence in executing the work within the 1095 calendar days following issuance of a single NTP.
The government’s response (#133) in Notice #3 provided direction as to the fixed date that the contractor may expect to receive possession of the Angaur Rx site (No later than June 30, 2023). Standard Form 1442 re-issued in Amendment 0002 reduced the bid acceptance period from 180 to 90 calendar days follow the bid submission presumably to address concerns as to the global volatility of construction material. By bringing forward the award date this modification alone compresses the performance period of Angaur by a potential period of up to 90 days due to the fixed date for possession of the Rx site. This together with the characterization of the in-situ material at the Tx site as unsuitable for reuse as common fill in Notice No 5, Q/A 210 and the subsequent removal & importation of +/- 98,000 CY seriously jeopardize any likelihood of completing the entire scope of work within the current period of performance. We earnestly ask the government to give due consideration to extending the performance period by a further 240 calendar days to provide a reasonable level of confidence that the work can be accomplished successfully.
RESP: See Amendment 0007.
287. General, Performance Period of 1,095 days from NTP. The current procurement cycles for long lead and specialty materials and equipment is significantly longer than usual due to impacts related to COVID-19 and other major world events. For example, electrical equipment is requiring between 12 to 18 months and oftentimes longer.
Additionally, other project constraints including weather and shipping logistics within Palau from Koror to Angaur will require additional time beyond what would typically be required for a project such as this. Given this we respectfully request the Government reconsider extending the POP from 1,095 to 1,800 days to ensure adequate time to address these significant and unique challenges.
RESP: See Amendment 0007.
