The Factor 4 requirement includes completing the Subcontracting Methodology Form. It is premature to assume dollar values for work subcontracted when we have not even seen the plans for the project. Please consider moving this requirement to Phase 2.

Response: The Offeror shall submit the following: (1) proposed small business subcontracting goals for this procurement, (2) narrative describing your firm’s outreach program for small businesses, and (3) narrative describing how your firm will maximize competition and select subcontractors that provide best value. The Subcontracting Methodology Form shall be submitted as part of the Phase II submission.

The relevant project information requested on page 8 & 9 of the solicitation states a two page maximum, except for photos. Can the maximum be increased to three pages, due to the amount of information requested?

Response: A maximum of three pages is allowed. Photos count as separate pages.

The safety information requested on pages 12 & 13 of the solicitation states a one page limit.

Can the limit be increased to four pages, since each of the three OSHA 300A forms requested will take one page each, plus the letter from the insurance company regarding the EMR will take one page?

Response: This is acceptable.

The safety information requested also asks for OSHA 300A forms and EMR’s from significant subcontractors. Can this requirement be eliminated from the Phase I response as subcontractor pricing & selection will be performed in Phase II? Whiting-Turner’s safety information will be provided as required.

Response: This is acceptable.

The required Subcontracting Methodology Form asks for projected dollar values to be provided for the various types of business subcontracts. We are okay with submitting projected percentages for those subcontracts, but feel it is too early to submit the requested dollar values, since we do not know the full value of the project. Please confirm the projected dollar values for the various businesses can be submitted with the Phase II response?

Response: The Offeror shall submit the following: (1) proposed small business subcontracting goals for this procurement, (2) narrative describing your firm’s outreach program for small businesses, and (3) narrative describing how your firm will maximize competition and select subcontractors that provide best value. The Subcontracting Methodology Form shall be submitted as part of the Phase II submission.
