PRE-PROPOSAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

JFY 2022 PROJECT J-875, BATTLE STAFF TRAINING FACILITY,

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.

NOTICE NO. 3:

8. Reference: Solicitation-N6274226R1306 SF1442 Block 13

Given the widespread and continuing impacts of Typhoon Sinlaku, which resulted in prolonged outages of power, potable water, and communication services for a substantial portion of the island, normal business operations have been materially disrupted. These conditions limited access to offices, but most importantly severely constrained coordination with local subcontractors and suppliers. Business operations are just returning to normal. The typhoon has significantly impeded the development of complete, accurate, and price specific information.

Subcontractors remain severely impacted and the situation continues to affect their ability to support timely bid preparation.

In the interest of providing a “Best Value cost” to the Government, maintaining full and open competition, and allowing offerors sufficient time to prepare thorough and responsive proposals following the island-wide disruption, will the Government issue an amendment granting an additional three (3) week extension to the bid due date, establishing a revised submission deadline of July 14, 2026? The one week extension previously given, is insufficient..

ANSWER: A forthcoming amendment will extend the proposal due date to June 23, 2026.

Please also note that the deadline for submitting questions regarding the solicitation will be revised to specify June 2, 2026.

12. Reference Drawing Sheet A-610. RAF-1 is indicated to be factory laminated Casal Grande

Metropolis Color Mud, finish Natural. In checking with our suppliers, this tile is not available in

24" (610mm size) but it is available in 600mm. It is shown in literature to be 24" nominal size, which does not account for the grout joint which would make up the difference. Since this tile needs to be 24" as the raised floor would not have grout joints, the current finish will not work.

Please provide alternate basis of design for RAF-1 Tile Finish.

13. The Porcelain finish on RAF-1 is also the finish in other adjoining corridors to the raised flooring which is to be installed on the raised slab portions. If RAF-1 Porcelain finish is changed, please confirm floor finish in these areas will require to be changed as well.

17. Solicitation-N6274226R1306 Section 00 21 16 Instructions to Proposers; 1.2 Number of

Copies/ Time of Receipt

The solicitation currently requires delivery of multiple hard-copy proposal volumes with an accompanying electronic submission on physical media (CD). Other recent NAVFAC Pacific procurements for Guam projects allow for proposal submission via the PIEE with a hard copy follow-up. Offerors respectfully note that the current requirement for hard-copy submission with electronic copies on CD presents several challenges:

• Reduced Pricing Competitiveness:

Due to Hawaii specific FEDEX handling procedures, the need to print, assemble, and ship multiple hard-copy volumes requires proposal completion earlier than would otherwise be necessary. For local Guam contractors, this compresses the time available to incorporate the most current subcontractor and supplier pricing, potentially impacting the Government’s receipt of the most competitive bids. At proposal closure, this often necessitates hand delivery to

NAVFAC because FEDEX will not guarantee delivery, pushing back “bid lock”. The process currently required in the solicitation adds cost and can affect best value pricing to the Navy.

NAVFAC Pacific’s use of PIEE on other projects eliminates this problem. This, combined with the submission of our small business utilization plan the following day, advantages local Hawaii-based contractors unfairly.

• Consistency with Recent NAVFAC Practices:

Allowing submission via PIEE, with hard copies to follow, would align this procurement with recent NAVFAC Pacific solicitations, improving consistency and reducing risk to both the

Government and offerors.

Requested Action:

The Offeror requests the Government consider revising the proposal submission instructions to permit electronic submission via PIEE as the official proposal receipt method, with required hard-copy originals submitted within five (5) business days thereafter.

ANSWER: Your recommendation has been considered; however, the solicitation remains unchanged.
