RFP page 347 of 371, 5.1 (b) A copy of the firm's current credit report(s).

Question: Are the two credit/trade references adequate for this requirement, if there is no credit report readily available?

On: Apr 05 2019.

Government Response. . Per RFP Section M, Paragraph 5.1 "(b) A copy of the firm's current credit report(s)..." already includes the request to include two (2) credit/trade references. This is adequate and acceptable. No Amendment Change will be made. On: Apr 17 2019

Current Request Status: Request Closed

Information for this report is procurement sensitive.

7928390 Contracting Section G.7.2 Fee Arrangement and G.8.2 Administration of Payments

For CPFF-CF task orders, please confirm that contractors may bill for the portion of fixed fee associated with completing the performance-based milestone, and not necessarily the entire CLIN.

On: Apr 05 2019.

Government Response. . See AMENDMENT 0001 where cost reimbursement type is removed from the solicitation in its entirety. On: Apr 17 2019

7928392 Contracting Section H 1.0 Minimum Insurance

Required

Please confirm that when required, qualified subcontractors and vendors can indemnify CAPE and the government and provide the following insurance: (d) Aircraft Public and Passenger Liability Insurance, and (e) Vessel Collision Liability and Protection and Indemnity Liability Insurance. Those types of insurance require firms to have licensed pilots, for example, so cannot typically be obtained by environmental contractors.

Government Response. . The FAR Clause 52.228-5 applies to this solicitation, as well as the items stated in SECTION H, Paragraph 1.1. The reference to FAR 28.307 is deleted in AMENDMENT 0003 (it is not applicable). Please note that the Government does not have purview over subcontractors or other vendors. The prime is responsible for what is required in the solicitation and any resultant contract. On: May 02 2019

7928393 Contracting Section L 52.215-20(b)

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

This clause references Seed and Sample Project Tasks, however only a sample project is provided in Attachment L-6. Is the reference to a Seed Project extraneous, or is the intent to actually award the project provided in Attachment L-6 as a CPFF-CF task order?

Government Response. . AMENDMENT 0002 will include this change. Section L, PROVISION FAR 52.215-20(b) will be corrected to delete the word "Seed." The solicitation has a sample task order project only. On: Apr 17 2019

7928395 Contracting Section L 2.1.1 Written Materials

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

The requirements state "...the paragraph number from the submission requirements be used in the heading for the respective section/paragraph where the information is being provided." Does the underlined text mean to imply that the tabs should include the Section L paragraph number? For example, "3.1.1 Tab 1.1 Summary Table of

Environmental Experience (Attachment L)," instead of "Tab 1.1 Summary Table of Environmental Experience (Attachment L)" as noted in Table 1 – Proposal Content and Tabs List.

On: Apr 05 2019.

Government Response. . No change by Amendment will be issued for this inquiry. Please comply with RFP instructions. The Volume 1, Factor 1 does not need to reference the paragraph numbers but only the "TAB" it is under. On: Apr 17 2019

7928397 Contracting Section L 2.1.1(ii) Written

Materials

Please consider allowing a list of acronyms to be excluded from the page limitation.

Government Response. . A list of acronyms will not be part of the page count. This note will be added in a forthcoming AMENDMENT. On: Apr 17 2019

7928399 Contracting Section L 3.1 Tab 1.0

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Section L.3.1.1 and L.3.1.2 both require information to be provided "...for the projects submitted for Tab 1.0 (maximum of 10 projects)." While it is clear what is required to be submitted in Tab 1.1 and Tab 1.2, it isn't clear what information is required or allowed to be submitted in our proposal under "Tab 1.0." Our interpretation is that "Tab 1.0 Factor 1 – Experience" will have no content (it's just a tab/section divider), and the instructions provided in paragraph 3.1 merely define what constitutes a relevant project and that we are to provide a list of those projects in Tab 1.1 using Attachment L-1, and provide summary information about those same projects in Tab 1.2 using Attachment L-2. Please clarify.

Government Response. . The "Tab 1.0 Factor 1 – Experience" will have no content (it's just a tab/section divider), and the instructions provided in paragraph 3.1 define what constitutes a relevant project and offerors are to provide a list of those projects in Tab 1.1 using Attachment L-1, and provide summary information about those same projects in Tab 1.2 using Attachment L-2. On: Apr 17 2019

7928401 Contracting Section L 2.2.1 Proposal Volumes and Sections

Aside from the title page and the table of contents, the first substantive content the evaluators will be seeing is Tab 1.1 Summary Table of Environmental Experience, and they will not know the team structure until 21 pages later in Tab 2.1 Management Plan. Therefore, we suggest allowing a brief two-page Executive Summary that allows an introduction of the Offeror and its team as part of Tab 1.0 FACTOR 1 – Experience, so that the evaluators understand the team structure for the context of experience demonstrated in Tabs 1.1 and 1.2.

On: Apr 05 2019.

Government Response. . Experience and Organizational Structure are evaluated separately and are not combined. No change as a result of this inquiry. Follow Section L and M as written or as updated with an official Amendment. On: Apr 17 2019

7928402 Contracting Section L 2.2.1 Proposal Volumes and Sections

Per Table 1 – Proposal Content and Tabs List, we are to provide tabs for "Tab 3.0 FACTOR 3 – Technical Approach to Sample CPFF Task Order Project" and "Tab 3.1 Sample Cost Reimbursable Fixed Fee – Completion Form (CPFF-CF) TO (Attachment L-6)." Please confirm that these tabs will have no content (they are just a tab/section dividers).

Government Response. . AMENDMENT 0001 removes all cost reimbursement contract type references. This solicitation will be FFP and FP-EPA only. No amendment needed to address this particular inquiry due to issued AMENDMENT 0001. On: Apr 17 2019

7928403 Contracting Section L 3.2.3 Tab 2.3 Key

Personnel

Please advise if the government has a preference of whether individual letters of commitment should be provided after each person's resume, or whether the government would rather see all resumes grouped together, and then all the letters of commitment grouped together.

Government Response. . Letters of Commitment are different from Key Personnel Resumes'. Do not group together. Submit as requested. No Amendment needed for this inquiry. On: Apr 17 2019 ****ANSWER REVISED PER THIS AMENDMENT 0003: The Key Personnel Letter of Commitment Can Follow the Key Personnel Resume (and not included in any page limitation). These Key Personnel Letters of Commitment may be different from Key Subcontractor Letters of Commitment.

7928404 Contracting Section L 3.2.3(h) Site

Superintendent

The requirements are "Minimum qualifications are at least five (5) years' experience as superintendent, managing multiple trades and subcontractor programs similar in size and complexity of the example projects." Please clarify if "example projects" is referring to the Sample Project PWS in Attachment L-6. If so, confirm that for this position, experience with the scope of the sample project will be evaluated more highly than the "depth and breadth of technical experience" as noted in Section M.

On: Apr 05 2019.

Government Response. . The sentence referenced is referring to the Sample Project PWS in Attachment L-6. Evaluation will be conducted as stated in Section M. No change as a result of this inquiry. On: Apr 30 2019

7928405 Contracting Section L 4.0 Volume 1 – Factor 4

– Past Performance Confidence Assessment

The requirement for past performance states "The offeror shall provide past performance information for each project submitted (up to 10) for FACTOR 1 as noted in this Section L. The title of the project shall be consistent with the project title in the experience description." Is the government requesting narrative information about past performance on each project in addition to the CPARs, PPQs, and performance recognition documents?

Government Response. . The Government is not requesting any past performance narrative - Only requesting as stated in Section L for FACTOR 4 - PPQs, CPARS, or other Performance Documents for each of the projects included in Factor 1. On: Apr 17 2019

7928406 Contracting Section L 4.0 Volume 1 – Factor 4

Are performance recognition documents limited to the projects submitted in Factor 1, or may other awards, etc.

be provided?

Government Response. . Performance recognition documents should be limited to the projects submitted in Factor 1, as these would be applicable to the type of work required under the contract;

whereas, other awards may not be related. On: Apr 17 2019

7928407 Contracting Section L 4.0 Volume 1 – Factor 4

Please consider eliminating the 3-year timeframe for performance recognition documents related to the projects submitted in Factor 1 since recency is defined as being completed within the past 8 years. A 3-year timeframe is reasonable for performance recognition documents not related to the projects in Factor 1.

On: Apr 05 2019.

Government Response. . The timeframe for performance recognition document related to the projects submitted in Factor 1 will be changed to coincide with the experience timeframe in a forthcoming Amendment. On: Apr 17 2019

7928408 Contracting Section L 5.1(a) Direct Labor

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

The text references a Seed Task Order. Is this meant to be the Sample Task Order?

Government Response. . Section L, Paragraph 5.1, Tab 1.0 - Volume 2, Factor 5, (a) Direct Labor will be corrected to remove the word "seed" and insert the word "sample" via a forthcoming AMENDMENT. On: Apr 17 2019

7928409 Contracting Section L 5.1 Tab 1.0 – VOLUME

2, FACTOR 5 – CPFF Cost Proposal for Sample Task Order

The solicitation requires "backup documentation" for proposed subcontract costs and other direct costs such as materials, supplies, and equipment to be provided with the price proposal. Many subcontractors and vendors are not willing to provide pricing for a sample project that will not be awarded. If the sample project will not be awarded, may we include historical pricing, quotes from other proposals, or standard industry indexes (e.g., RS Means) as backup?

Government Response. . Section L. Paragraph 5.1, Tab 1.0 – VOLUME 2, FACTOR 5 – CPFF Cost Proposal for Sample Task Order has been revised as in issued AMENDMENT 0001. This information request has been removed per changes of AMENDMENT 0001. No additional amendment will occur as a result of this inquiry. On: Apr 17 2019

7928410 Contracting Section L Attachment L-8

The solicitation states "The submitted resumes shall clearly display employer, proposed job title, education, states in which the individuals are registered, special qualifications and experience records showing title, specific duties, responsibilities, assignments, and the dates these were held within the last five (5) years." Could the USACE please clarify if offerors are permitted to show relevant project experience that is older than five years on personnel resumes? We respectfully request that there be no time restrictions on project experience on personnel resumes.

Government Response. . There can be beyond five (5) years experience on a resume; however, what's required on submitted resume(s) is what is requested - the experience records showing title, specific duties, responsibilities, assignments, and the dates these were held within the last five (5) is required to meet minimum required resume information. On: Apr 17 2019

7930236 General Section 2.1.3

Government Response. . See answer from similar inquiry previously answered. This will be corrected via a forthcoming Amendment. On: Apr 17 2019

7930240 General Section 3.2.1

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Section 3.2.1, Tab 2.1 Management Plan (page 341 of 371) states that the Management Plan shall be limited to three (3) double-sided pages. Please confirm this is the equivalent to six (6) single-sided pages.

(i) Government Response. . See answer from same inquiry.

The contractor shall have all reporting documents finalized and submitted to the government by 30 April 2020. The contractor shall assume Notice To Proceed (NTP) will be provided by the government no later than 30 September 2019." Should this be corrected to say, "The delivery date for this contract ends on 29 May 2021. The contractor shall have all reporting documents finalized and submitted to the government by 30 April 2021. The contractor shall assume Notice To Proceed (NTP) will be provided by the government no later than 30 September 2019."

Same location, third paragraph states: "Contractor shall collect one ISM sample for GRO, DRO, RRO, VOCs, SVOCs, PAH by SIM, metals, and PCBs under each piece of equipment for a total of 20 samples."

Please confirm that the contractor shall price collection of 20 rather than 25 ISM samples beneath the abandoned machinery.

Government Response. . Change sentence to read: "for a total of 25 samples." On: Apr 30 2019 Amendment 3 clarifies by stating: Contractor shall assume removal, sampling and disposal of fluids and batteries from all abandoned 20 pieces of machinery in Table 7.

RFP SECTION 3.1.2, Tab 1.2 – Volume 1 Factor 1 - Project Experience Forms:

QUESTION: RFP Section M alone has 21 rating criteria requirements that: a) are overlapping; b) will not fit into a 2-page limit format that is responsive and wherein the government can easily check the boxes; and c) some Section M criteria can only or best be evaluated across the 10 featured projects and not at the individual project level (i.e., o Experience performing environmental services in all geographic regions of Alaska). Note: Section L states many of the same criteria but in a different way. Would the government consider consolidating these criteria to eliminate overlap and allow contractors to provide more responsive 2-page PD submissions?

Government Response. . The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) states the required Uniform Contract Format (UFC) where Section L at the proposal requirements for submission and where Section M is how Section L proposals will be evaluated.

7931340 Contracting Sections L and M Tab 2.1

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

There are differences between the information required to be submitted as stated in Section L and the evaluation criteria in Section M for Tab 2.1 Management Plan. For example, Section M has several criteria that do not correspond to Section L requirements, e.g., Size and technical diversity of the local office; Organizational efficiency of the local office; Autonomy of the local office; Efficient and effective management of subcontracts;

Cooperation with client personnel after award; and Paid subcontractors/suppliers in a timely manner. Please confirm that our response should follow Section M rather than Section L.

Government Response. . Section L is what is required to be submitted with a proposal at a minimum.

Section M states how the Section L proposal will be evaluated. Section M guides offerors how Section L items will be evaluated. No change will be made as a result of this inquiry. Section L and Section M will be reviewed but no change now. On: Apr 17 2019

***ANSWER TO THIS INQUIRY IS FINAL PER AMENDMENT 0002 AS FOLLOWS: “No changes to Section L and/or Section M for FACTOR 1 are applicable. Please note that the SECTION L is WHAT THE OFFEROR SHALL SUBMIT; whereas, the SECTION M is how the OFFEROR SUBMITTAL will be evaluated. Both SECTIONS should be reviewed by offerors but should not match in order to ensure there is the ability for the Government to determine best value proposals by use of differentiating evaluation criteria. No change will be made as a result of this inquiry.”***

Government Response. . The Key Personnel and any teaming arrangement/key subcontractors and the prime offeror's organization structure should indicate the interconnections and "big picture" on one page - the Government is not looking to receive multiple, separate organizational structures.

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Section B indicates that we are to use a Labor Rate Calculation Chart from Section J in support of listed rates.

With regard to the Labor Rate Calculation Chart:

(1) Is the intent to show how each contractor's loaded rate is built (i.e., how indirect rate structure is applied to the unloaded hourly rate) for each listed key and non-key labor classification? This seems to align with the direction given in 5.3 of Section L.

(2) A Labor Rate Calculation Chart was not provided with the RFP. Can the contractor develop their own Labor Rate Calculation Chart that shows hour our indirect rate structure is applied to each key and non-key position, especially since each firms OH rate structure is different?

Government Response. . What will be required for labor rate other than cost or pricing data information (including any referenced Section J Labor Chart) will be clarified and issued with Amendment 0003.
