Amendment 3

SOL-CI-15-00011 STREAMS 3

Response to Additional Technical Questions Received

Question: Does EPA require that both the prime contractor and all of its team subcontractors provide the information under the "general financial and organizational information" provision, or does EPA require the prime contractor to provide this information about itself only?

Response: Please provide the information under the "general financial and organizational information" provision for the prime contractor and subcontractors receiving subcontract agreements other than labor hour/time and material, or firm fixed price.

Question: Re: Amendment 1 question #7 response on pages 4-5. We understand that evaluation of past performance is a complex process and that the technical reviewers need to be able to determine relevance of the contracts provided in the past performance section. We are concerned that by separating the demonstration of relevance (by placing it in the body of the technical proposal) from the other required information (by placing it in the cost proposal), it might be more difficult for EPA to evaluate. Would it be acceptable for all of the information on past performance to be included in a single section as an attachment to the technical proposal and therefore be outside of the page count?

Response: All past Performance information may be presented in a single section as an attachment to the technical proposal which will not be considered as part of the page count.
