About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers document for RFQ 459544 issued by Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), the operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy. The solicitation seeks Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa) services to support the design and pre-construction phases of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Infrastructure project at BNL. The CMa services are limited to pre-construction support during the design phase and preparation for construction. BSA indicated that future solicitations for Construction Manager services covering the construction and post-construction phases are anticipated. Joint ventures are permitted to submit proposals in response to this solicitation.
There are no set-asides or goals mandated on this contract, though BSA encourages New York State Certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs) to respond. This is new work with no incumbent contractor. The procurement is subject to Article 39 of the General Terms and Conditions regarding organizational conflicts of interest, which precludes the CMa award recipient from bidding on projects that stem directly from the constructability review work. No list of potentially conflicted future projects is currently available; however, contractors may submit written waiver requests to BSA's Procurement & Property Management Division if appropriate firewalls can be established between the constructability team and future bidding teams. BSA reserves the right to grant waivers if determined to be in its best interests.

Questions and Answers RFQ 459544
1. Will there be any goals/ set asides on this contract?
A. No. Any qualified companies are encouraged to submit a response. BSA does encourage NYS Certified MWBEs to respond to the opportunity.
2. Would you be able to share a list of potential bidders?
A. A list will not be shared.
3. Would be conflicted out of being the eventual builder of the project if we were awarded the CM Advisor contract?
A. See Article 39 of T&Cs.
4. Since this RFP is limited to Design and Pre-Construction Services, do you also intend to solicit for CM Services for Construction/Post-Construction Services at a future date?
A. Yes.
5. Can joint ventures can be formed to submit a bid/proposal in response to the above-mentioned solicitation for the EIC CMa?
A. Yes.
6. For the Construction Manager as Advisor solicitation, Article 39 of the General Terms and Conditions references the DEAR Organization Conflicts of Interest clause and that the performer of this award would be precluded on bidding any projects that “stem directly” from this work. Can Brookhaven provide the expected list of projects that would be considered as “stemming directly” from this constructability review that an awardee may be precluded from? Also, if the construction of this work is considered as
“stemming directly” from this work, would BSA’s PPM Division consider a waiver from a contractor that shows appropriate firewalls were set up between the constructability team and the team that would bid the construction per paragraph (e) of article 39?
A. A list up upcoming projects is not currently available.
Requests for waiver under this clause shall be directed in writing to BSA’s PPM
Division and shall include a full description of the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof. If it is determined to be in the best interests of BSA, BSA’s PPM
Division may grant such a waiver in writing.
7. If the work outlined in the RFQ is currently being performed under an existing subcontract for the Brookhaven National Laboratory, or if this is new work which is being procured. If there is an incumbent, is it possible to learn the name of the current vendor and corresponding subcontract number?
A. This is new work, no incumbent.
