About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document for RFP 23-2973 issued by EGLE (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy) for a 3D modeling project focused on glacial aquifer mapping in Michigan. The project requires bidders to propose partnerships and strategic relationships in 3D modeling of glacial aquifer mapping or general water resource management. Key personnel information must be provided for all individuals expected to work on the project, not just the point of contact. Bidders must submit sample reports from previous projects with similar reporting requirements and provide a brief summary of their reporting capabilities, including software and format specifications. The evaluation study methodology requires that at least 10% of available Wellogic records in each county be randomly distributed throughout the simulation area for comparative analysis, rather than concentrated in specific subregions.

The project has an estimated budget of $80,000. The document addresses clarifications on bidder requirements regarding the scope of partnerships to be described, personnel disclosure, reporting examples and explanations, and the spatial distribution of evaluation study wells. No information regarding response dates, due dates, bidders' meetings, award dates, contract term, pricing structure details, set-asides, incumbents, or funding sources is provided in this Q&A document.

2Vendor Questions Worksheet, Section 2. Company Background InformationPage 12 of 50The RFP asks to "Describe partnerships and strategic relationships you think will bring significant value to the State."

See response to Question 1.
3Schedule A – statement of work contract activitiesPage 22 of 50The RFP states "In each county, at least 10% of the available Wellogic records shall be reserved for use in the evaluation study."

Please confirm that the wells selected for evaluation study should be randomly distributed in space (as compared to being selected from one particular subregion in the county).

Confirmed, wells reserved for comparison should be distributed evenly throughout the simulation area.
4Schedule A – statement of work contract activities, Section 2.3 Key PersonnelPage 25 and 26 of 50This section describes the Key Personnel and process for reassignment. Please confirm that bidders should list all inviduals expected to work on this project, although only one will be the point of contact/correspondence (i.e., the "Contract Representative"). For example, if three (3) engineers are expected to particpate in the work inolved in this project, we should provide the requested information for all 3 engineers, correct?
Confirmed, the requested information should be provided for all proposed personnel.
5Schedule A – statement of work contract activities, Section 3.3 ReportingPage 30 of 50The RFP states "Bidders provide samples of required reports as attachments to this RFP. List file names here."
Is this asking the bidder to provide reports from other / previous projects with similar reporting requirements?Yes, if the bidder has prepared reports similar to the reports described in Section 3.3, Reporting, examples of these reports should be included in the response.
6Schedule A – statement of work contract activities, Section 3.3 ReportingPage 30 of 50The RFP states "Bidder must explain its reporting capabilities and any reporting that is included in its proposal"

Please clarify what is being asked here. Should bidders indicate the software and format used to generate reports (e.g., Microsoft Word and PDF report format)? What is meant by "explain...any reporting that is included in its proposal"?

The bidder can provide a brief summary of the reports submitted.
7Schedule B - PricingPage 34 of 50Does this project have an estimated or maximum budget?
$80,000 has been budgeted for this project.
