275. Reference Amendment 0011, revised DOCUMENT 00 21 16, INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS. The revised section adds the requirement of a Small Business Subcontracting Plan. This is typically submitted as its own volume. Please advise further on the Government’s instructions for submitting this document, as there are no instructions on where to include it. For example, how many copies do offerors submit? Do we provide them in a separate volume? Box labels?

ANSWER: Please see Amendment 0013.

276. Reference Amendment 0011, revised DOCUMENT 00 21 16, INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS. Please confirm that the Small Business Subcontracting Plan, which is based on the Offeror’s final bid price for the P-614 project, can be submitted up to five business days following the 28 May 2025 submission date. This period between the price proposal due date and submission of the plan has been a practice of NAVFAC Pacific on previous one-off project solicitations and is critical for Offerors to provide realistic goals and commitments to SBs based on bid day proposal submissions from the SB community to prime offerors.

ANSWER: See answer in Q275.

277. According to the civil drawing, the sewer line A3-1 near the Generator Building (CU105A) is indicated as 4". However, per mechanical drawing M704B and plumbing drawing P401B, the connected pipe inside the building is shown as 3".

Please confirm which pipe size is correct for coordination and installation.

278. The profiles for Water Line A4 (as shown on CU103A) and Water Line A2 (as shown on CU105A), which are part of the connection between the Main Water Line A and the Generator Building, do not appear to be included in the current drawing.

Kindly provide the missing profiles for coordination and construction reference.

279. Drawings C3 on XT110D and C3 on XT111D, both show electrical lines connecting TMH 27-B2 to the Generator Building. While the routes are not exactly identical, they appear to represent the same connection. Please confirm whether this is an intentional duplication or if one of the lines should be disregarded.

280. In drawing C3 on XT111D, the electrical line connecting THH-A1 to ICS references detail C3 on XT301D. However, this detail does not appear to exist in the current drawing. Please confirm whether this is a missing detail or if it has been renamed or relocated under a different drawing.

281. According to drawings P428A and P432A, there is a 1" CW pipe running from the building’s mechanical room to the mechanical yard. However, when reviewing the water riser diagram on drawing P907A, the length of this line appears to be incomplete or partially missing.

Please confirm whether there is a discrepancy and clarify the full extent of the line.

282. However, we also note the re-addition of the requirement for a subcontracting plan, which currently only states under Paragraph 1.1.c of RFP Document 00 21 16 that “PRICE AND NON- PRICE PROPOSAL PROPOSALS (ELECTRONIC): An electronic copy of the price and non-price proposal proposals shall be submitted in .pdf format on a CD-ROM with the paper copy of the subcontracting plan.” Therefore, we submit the following RFIs to hopefully clarify the subcontracting plan requirement:

1. With regard to the re-incorporation of the subcontracting plan requirement by Amendment No.

0011, please also provide the following information that is normally included in RFP Document 00 21 16 with regard to the subcontracting plan:

• The specific submission requirement for the Subcontracting Plan, i.e. number of copies, submittal due date/time, etc.

• The specific information Subcontracting Plan information, especially provided NAVFAC’s command-wide small business subcontracting targets that are applicable to this project.

2. Referring to the subcontracting plan template provided within Amendment No. 0011, page 12, Attachment 1 requires the breakdown of the base and three (3) option year periods. However referring to the SF1442, Price Proposal Schedule, it includes only a CLIN 0001 for the Base Item, CLIN 0002 for the Planned Modification, and CLIN 0003 for the Base Item No. 1.

Furthermore, option years are not applicable to this stand-alone project and Item 1 on page 2 of the Subcontracting Plan Template requires that the “Total Contract Value” reflect the “Total CLINS 0001 and 003”. Therefore, please revise Attachment 1 to match the Price Proposal Schedule or delete in its entirety.

3. Furthermore, as understood and allowed by most NAVFAC RFPs, please allow submission of the subcontracting plan within one (1) business day of the price proposal submission to assist offerors in providing a complete and competitive price, as well as non-price, proposal submission.

ANSWER: Please see Amendment 0013

283. Kindly confirm if the Subcontracting Plan submission date will be for May 28 or May 29

HST.

ANSWER: See answer Q282.
