SOLICITATION NO. W90FYQ-14-R-0002

Dated 28 May 2014

1. Q. How do I access the files/documents for the Project?

RESPONSE: See, Sections 4.4, 4.5 & 4.7 of the FBO Vendor Guide available for download in PDF format via the Federal Business Opportunities / FBO Home Page. See also, Section 00100 of the Solicitation. Additionally, to view and/or download Export Controlled Materials, a company must be certified (via an approved DD Form 2345) by the Joint Certification Program (JCP) administered by the DLA Logistic Information Service (DLIS). This certification establishes that a company is a U.S. or Canadian contractor eligible to receive unclassified technical data that is under the control of the U.S.

Department of Defense (DoD) or the Canadian Department of National Defense (DND). Questions about this program or DD Form 2345 should be addressed to U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office, DLA Logistics Information Services (DLIS), Federal Center, 74 Washington Avenue North, Battle Creek, MI 49037-3084. The Joint Certification Office may be contacted by telephone at: (800) 352-3572; or email:

jcp-admin@dla.mil.

2. Q. I am trying to access the [export controlled] packages and have a number as assigned on DD Form 2345 but cannot get the packages to open. Our DD 2345 Number is ####### expiration ##/##/2015.

RESPONSE: The U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) office reported to this office that once a company is certified with the JCP office (normally 7 to 12 business days), the company should contact FBO to have them add their JCP number to their FBO account. The FBO help desk (Federal Service Desk) reported to this office that companies need to make sure that they are registered and login as a Vendor to FBO. When the Vendor click's to open an export controlled package/document, they should be asked for their MPIN. After entering the MPIN, the export controlled package/document should be viewable/downloadable by Vendors that have gone through the JCP process. If a Vendor still has problems, the Vendor should check to make sure that their CCR registration and MPIN are valid and up-to-date. If problems still persist, the Vendor may call the FBO help desk at 866-606-8220, selection option 2 for FBO issues, and ask for troubleshooting assistance.

3. Q. Proposal Inquiry: The SF 1442 states that an offer guanrantee (bid bond) is required, but nowhere in the solicitation do I see the requirements for the bid bond either percentage or dollar amount. Please specify.

RESPONSE: The FAR Provision 52.228-1 Bid Guarantee is in the solicitation in Section 00100, by reference only. An amendment will be issued which will provide the information in full text.

4. Q. Due to the sizes and configuration of the concrete panel replacements, is the Government considering this project main line paving or other? The reason for this question is to determine the type and size of paver to be used.

RESPONSE: This is considered a main line paving project.

5. Q. Will the Government allow the use of a triple roller screed with factory mounted adjustable concrete vibrators in both depth and frequency to meet specs instead of a slip form paver?

RESPONSE: The Government will not allow this.
