5. The above changes to the specifications and drawings answer many of the technical questions received to date. A complete list of technical questions and their individual answers will be provided in the next amendment.

6. The following questions regarding the solicitation have been received and answers provided:

Q1. On page 140, Factor 3 of Section M it indicates that Factor 3 the Project Plan has a maximum of 6 pages allowed. But then it breaks Factor 3 down into 3 elements, each with their own page limitation that together exceed the total allowed for Factor 3. Which is correct maximum allowed for Factor 3? Is it 6 or is the 14 pages that you get from adding elements 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3?

A1: The 6 page maximum limitation noted for factor 3 is hereby eliminated.

The page limitations noted for each of Factor 3’s elements shall govern.

Thus the following page limitations govern:

Element 3.1: 6 page maximum Element 3.2: 2 page maximum

Element 3.3: 6 page maximum

Q2. In follow up to the above question regarding Factor 3 Project Plans (page 140). On this page it appears that Factor 3 is being considered part of the Technical Factors in Volume 1. However, in Section L (pages 126-128) it indicates that the two volumes will be broken out as (edited for summarization)Technical and Business. Item 9, Key Personnel, in the Business proposal appears to be part of the Factor 3 Project Plans. Clarify which Volume Elements 3.1 – 3.3 (pages 140-141) should be included.

A2: Item 9, Key Personnel as shown in solicitation section “L”, Instructions for the Submission of Offers and Other Information, Part “C” Proposal Format, Volume II Business and Price Proposal is hereby moved to solicitation section “M”, Part “C”, subpart 1, Factor 3, Element 3.3, first bullet item.

Q3. On the Experience Questionnaire, it indicates you can provide a maximum of Ten projects. However in Section M, Factor 1 (pg 138), it indicates a maximum of 5 projects completed in the past 5 years. Can we assume that section M overrides the Experience Questionnaire?

A3: Yes, the requirements of Section M shall be followed.

Q4. The Experience Questionnaire reads Provide a Maximum of 10 Projects. Section M, subsection C, Factor 1: Prime Contractor’s Prior Experience reads Offerors shall present a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 projects completed within the past 5 years. Only the first 5 projects presented shall be evaluated; additional projects will be disregarded. Which statement is accurate? Are you seeking a maximum of 5 or 10 projects for past experience?

A4: As answered above, the limitation in Section M apply.

Q5. The Past Performance Questionnaire – I would like to confirm that you want the owner’s reps to return these to us for inclusion into the proposal, rather than forwarding their responses directly to you.

A5: Correct; the owner’s reps should return past performance questionnaires to the Offeror who should include the Questionnaires in their proposal.

Q6. Amendment – is there any chance the amendment you previously mentioned will include a deadline extension?

A6: This has been done through Amendment Two.

Q7. Section L – Paragraph C – The requirements for Volume II include paragraph 7 Subcontracting Plan, which notes that a subcontracting plan is not required for businesses that are considered small under NAICS 236220.

However it also states that “if not required for that Offeror, the Offeror will receive a neutral rating.” Does this mean that a large business could receive a better evaluation under this section, purely by nature of submitting a Subcontracting Plan?

A7: Subcontracting plans are not a part of the trade-off process’s evaluation criteria as noted in solicitation section “M”. However, as noted in solicitation section L, Volume 2, item 7 “In order to be considered for award, all large businesses will be required to submit an acceptable Small, HUBZone Small, Small Disadvantaged, Women-owned, Veteran-Owned Small, Business Subcontracting Plan”.

Q8. Section L – Paragraph C – The requirements for Volume II include paragraph 8 Employment Reports on Veterans, which indicates a “certificate of compliance” shall be submitted with the proposal. Please clarify if an email noting that a VETS-4212 submission was completed by the offeror is acceptable or this requirement.

A8: Yes, an email from the Federal Government noting that a VETS-4212 submission was completed by the offeror is acceptable

Q9. Section L – Paragraph C – The requirements for Volume II include paragraph 9 Key Personnel, which also seems to be a requirement associated with Factor 3 in Volume I. Please clarify where this information is to be featured.

A9: See response above.

Q10. Section M – Paragraph C.1. - Technical Factors – Are offerors able to provide projects under Factor 1: Prime Contractor’s Prior Experience that are not 100% complete? If so, please provide a percentage of completion that is acceptable.

A10: Projects shall be substantially complete. Substantial completion shall be defined as issuance of a Letter of Substantial Completion by the project owner.

Q11. Section M – Paragraph C.1. - Technical Factors, Factor 1: Prime Contractor’s Prior Experience – The experience questionnaire provided in the Proposal Submission Package is two pages in length, but the page limitation associated with this section is 6 pages. This section notes that offeror’s may submit 3-5 projects in response to the evaluation factor. If the offeror submits 5 projects, that submission would encompass 10 pages. The way the evaluation factor is currently written offerors are forced to either provide minimal information for each project submitted or be limited to the minimum number of projects.

Would the contracting office consider expanding the page limitation to allow for more discussion of the projects?

A11: The 6 page limitation noted in solicitation Section M – Paragraph C.1. - Technical Factors, Factor 1: Prime Contractor’s Prior Experience is hereby increased to 10 pages.

Q12. Section M – Paragraph C.1. - Technical Factors, Factor 1: Prime Contractor’s Prior Experience – Previous solicitations promulgated by this office did not impose a page limitation on this section, which allowed the inclusion of a short narrative discussing previous experience. Would the contracting office consider expanding the page limitation to allow for a short narrative outlining experience?

A12: Refer to Government’s response to question 11 above.

Q13. The solicitation indicates that electronic submission of the proposal is acceptable. Does that include both the technical and pricing proposals? Do you accept an electronic copy of the bid security (Bid Bond)?

A13: Offerors shall e-mail all portions of their proposal including a pdf of their bid bond. Offerors shall mail the original bid bond so as to insure it is received by the Contracting Officer no later than 1 week after the date proposals are due. No portion of an Offeror’s proposal, other than the original bid bond, shall be mailed.

Q14. I've attached a substitution request for ……..

A14: Substitution requests are not pre-approved but instead prime offeror's may include "or equal" requests with their proposal. Please refer to clause 52.211-6 – Brand Name or Equal shown in section “L” of the solicitation and the Proposed Equals form included in the RFP Propposal Submission Package.

7. Solicitation Section “L” – Instructions for the Submission of Offers and Other Information, Paragraph “B” – Submission Instructions: Change to read:

“Offerors shall e-mail all portions of their proposal including a pdf of their bid bond so that it arrives no later than 2:00 PM Mountain Time August 16, 2016.
