CONTINUATION PAGE

Question #1 In regards to the requirements for key personnel past performance, “provide a minimum of 3 projects with a similar scope of this project that are reflective of the required experience” will projects that contain large concrete scopes and are within the specified size, dollar amount, and complexity be considered relevant although they are not necessarily parking garage structures?

Answer #1 Yes, all projects that are submitted will be considered; however, only the technical evaluation board can/will determine how relevant each project is.

Question #2 Regarding Solicitation VA255-17-R-0134 VAMC Design-Build Inpatient Parking Garage in Kansas City, MO, I have a question regarding the Past Performance requirements for the construction firm performing the work.

· One page 26 of the solicitation, Factor 5 – B., it says “Construction Offerors: (Prime Contract Holder) shall identify no less than ONE (1), and no more than THREE (3) previously awarded and completed construction contracts involving a similar Construction of a Parking Garage…”

· On page 27, FACTOR 6. Construction Experience, it says, “Offerors must submit no less than three (3) examples of completed parking structure of a similar size, complexity and cost completed within the last 10 years.”

Is page 27 referring to the combined experience of the design firm and the construction firm? Please advise.

Answer #2 Factor 5 is in relation to each separate component of design and construction in relation to projects similar in nature to a parking garage. This factor does not account for the design/build component of our project. It only deals with the experience in a project similar to a parking garage.

Factor 6 is in relation to experience on a design/build team for projects similar in nature to a parking garage. If the 2 entities did not work together on a design/build, each entity will need to provide separate experience to document their work on a design/build team.

Question #3 Is this solicitation Phase 1 or 2?

Answer #3:

This solicitation covers both Phases; however, the due date of January 19, 2018 is for Phase 1 proposal requirements only. Companies selected for Phase Two will be notified of the due date for the Phase proposal information.

Question #4 Is there a size restriction for the subcontractor performing services for this project?

Answer #4:

The only restriction is since this solicitation has gone out under NAICS Code 236220- General Construction as a Total Set Aside for Services Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) the contractor plus any other SDVOSB Subcontractors must perform a total of 15% of the total labor perform. This is based on 15% of the total labor dollars, not labor hours.

Question #5 Please see below a question that we have regarding the project referenced above.

REFERENCE: Factor 3: Quals of Design Team – Page 23 of 96 B. Design Team Leader criteria states that the Design Team Leader must be a registered professional engineer. Can this language be revisited to allow for a registered architect OR registered professional engineer with at least five (5) years of design lead experience?

Answer #5 Yes.

Question #6 On page 25 of 96 in factor 4 - H & I, there seems to be a duplication of requirements between the civil engineer and the MEP engineers. Both reference the civil 10-year requirement.

Answer #6 Both the Civil Engineer and the Electrical Mechanical and Plumbing (MEP) Engineer(s) need to have 10 years of experience as a licensed engineer. The reference to Civil Engineer(s) under the Electrical Mechanical and Plumbing (MEP) Engineer(s) is a typo.
