Answered

Will the National Park Service allow "dual" hatting of any of the 3 key personnel (Project Manager, Superintendent, Quality Control Manager/Safety Manager). With the phasing limitations and range of construction magnitude on this project, 3 key personnel seems to be disproportionate.

Yes, at the contractors discretion.

Past Performance Questionnaire ‐ Page 129 of the solicitation notes "Fill out Sections I and II and provide to a reference, who should complete the remainder and return the form to the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist".

The PPQ form notes "Submit completed forms with proposal package." Please confirm whether the completed PPQs need to be submitted directly to the Contracting Officer/Contract Specialist or if the completed PPQ's can be part of the overall proposal package.

PPQ's shall be submitted directly to the Contracting Officer. They should not be included in the overall proposal submission package.

Can we use CPARS or PPIRS reports in lieu of Past Performance Questionnaire? In other words, may we use evaluations from CPARS or PPIRS in lieu of Past Performance Questionnaires form ‐ occasionally those familiar with the project are no longer in the position to evaluate it, and the project and its final CPARS evaluation would enhance our proposal.

No

Y

There are a number of items that are to be salvaged.

Please clarify the location in relation to the site that we are to delivery salvaged items.

What ever is to be salvaged will be either re‐ used in place to meet SOI standards, or for temporary storage in the adjacent garage for re‐ use. If this is in reference to the windows that well be replaced ‐ those will be placed in storage at the NPS rainshed.

Y

Is there a sufficient water source on site to supply the contractor with water for the pressure‐washing of vehicles as required by the specs?

Cleaning of the vehicles will need to be done prior to entering the park grounds.

Y

The specs indicate that power is available on site for contractor use. Where is the location of the power source referred to?

A pole is across the parking lot and street from the rear SE corner of the building. There is electrical service at the building currently and at the garage. Y

Section L, Page 129, Notes Subfactor 3, Section M as Quality Control. Section M, page 143, notes Subfactor 3 as Management of Subcontractors. Could you advise which narrative is required quality control or management of subcontractors.

Both, overall the offerors proposal shall address firm approach to quality control. In addition firms shall assure that their proposal demonstrates quality control in terms of subcontractor management.

Y

1. Section M Page 143 has Subfactor 4, Key Personnel listed. That subfactor is not included in Section L. Please advise if we need to provide key personnel information in the proposal.

Key personnel for subfactor 4 is required.

Offerors shall assure they address each factor and subfactor in Section M.

Y

Please confirm the commission agent is needed in phase 2 not phase 1.

Commissioning was included in the specs for information only. The intent is that the Contractor keep in mind that commissioning will occur during Phase 2. Therefore, for any work they do on the building enclosure that may relate to the future HVAC system, they should keep the future commissioning in mind.

But to the question, no commissioning is required during Phase 1.

As noted on the table of contents of the specification, please provide the Geotechnical Investigation Report by Langan Treadwell Rollo.
