RFI # Bid Question Date received Answer and Comment

For Vol 2, Part 2 -Past Experience-Can available CPARS evaluations be submitted and considered in lieu of Exhibit “C” PPQ forms? We respectfully request that available CPARS evaluations be considered as equivalent past performance documentation in lieu of Exhibit “C” PPQ forms. Based on our experience, Government references may not always complete PPQ forms, particularly when CPARS evaluations are already available and provide a comprehensive assessment of contractor performance.

6/3/2026 Yes, you may include CPARS evaluations to be considered in lieu of Exhibit "C" PPQ forms. The Government will verify all CPARS evaluations submitted in the CPARS site.

As a multitude of drawings have been revised prior to the issuance of the Solicitation, please provide a consolidated set of the drawings that include all of the amendments for bidding purposes.

6/9/2026

The Government will not be issuing a consolidated set of drawings. Offerors shall base their bids on the original drawing set and all issued addendums.

Clarification to Drawing GC 100 & addendum 4: The Government acknowledges a visual discrepancy regarding the site location on original drawing sheet GC 100, which was subsequently carried over into Addendum 4. The site location depicted to the North West (left) of Building 400 is incorrect. For bidding purposes, offerors shall base their proposals on the correct project site location, which is North East (right) of Building 400

Will the Government require specific proof of U.S. citizenship (like passports) for site access, or is the standard Security Forces background check enough to satisfy the requirements of Spec 1.4.4 and 1.4.5?

6/10/2026

Anticipate submitting additional documentation beyond the standard Form 40, base access requests, questions. Due to the design of this facility being ICD 705 standards, the Government will require explicit, physical proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a passport or birth certificate) for every individual working on the project site, to be verified by the Government prior to entry. Contractors are entirely responsible for ensuring their proposed workforce meets the U.S. citizen requirements and must build adequate time for this enhanced security vetting into their schedules.

Are the 4ea Addendums included in the original document release considered addendums/amendments to be included in block 19 of the Standard Form 1442?

6/11/2026 No! Solicitation addendums are not the same as solicitation amendments. Only solicitation amendments issued under a Standard Form 30 (SF 30) are to be included in block 19 of SF 1442.

Specification Section 281005, as well as details for on sheet EY601 appear to show new Security/Access Control/Intrusion Detection systems. There does not appear to be a specific manufacturer listed in the

If an individual identified as key personnel is not currently part of the offeror's organization, the offeror must submit a completed Exhibit B, "Subcontractor/Team/Key Personnel Information and Consent Form." Section 2.3.3.12.1 specifies that each key person who does not have a prior past performance history documented in Exhibit A must provide a summary of their experience or a resume.

Key Personnel requirements are unclear. Should offerors submit resumes for Estimator, Project Manager, Manager and Site Superintendent?

6/26/2026

Section 00 21 16, para. 2.3.2.2.1 of the solicitation explicitly lists "Estimator, - Project Manager, Site Superintendent(s), Quality Control Manager (on site) and Safety Manager" as key construction personnel. You may submit resumes or experience cut sheets limited to 1 page each. The onus is solely on the offeror to demonstrate offerors technical experience and capability to perform a project of this magnitude and complexity. The same section states that if no experience, state so and indicate in detail how you plan to overcome this lack of experience.

18 Can offerors submit past performances of tier 1 subcontractors for evaluation? 6/26/2026

Yes, section 00 21 16, para 2.3.3.9 of the solicitation states, "Offerors lacking relevant present/past performance experience may submit information regarding... subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement if such information is relevant to this acquisition."

Section 2.3.2 confirms that the government's evaluation may consider, "Past/Present Performance information regarding... subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to this acquisition." It is important to note that the weight given to a subcontractor's past performance is at the sole discretion of the Government and may not be the same as the weight given to the prime contractor's own performance (Section 2.3.3).

Section 01 00 00 - General Requirements, Item 5.3. Please advise the fee schedule for the Project Management Software.

6/26/2026 Provided in amendment #2
