SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following items are applicable to this modification:

EXTEND DATE AND Q&A'S

1. The purpose of this Amendment is to extend the date and answer questions asked by contractors.

2. The following are answers from questions asked by the contractors:

Question 1: Our firm is the Certification Body for ANAD’s ISO 9001 certification. Please confirm that the ISO 14001 EMS applies to all ANAD activities including tenant activities. The ISO 9001 QMS does not apply to tenant activities. If the response is that the ISO 14001 EMS does not apply to tenant activities, then please revise the 4,200 headcount provided to include only those FTE, PTE, and contracted personnel working within the scope of the ISO 14001 EMS certification.

Answer 1: ISO 9001 QMS is not applicable to this solicitation. The scope of work (SOW) defines the ISO 14001 EMS requirement.

Question 2: Section 1.1 of the SOW unfairly limits competition. First, there is no longer any organization called “RABQSA.” This organization is now known as Exemplar Global. A fair and open requirement would be to state that “all auditors must be certified as ISO 14001 Lead Auditors by Exemplar Global, IRCA, and/or BEAC.” Section 1.4 also unfairly limits competition. A “registered environmental manager” is not a requirement that is needed. The remaining requirement should be revised as stated previously.

Answer 2: RABQSA has been removed, and IRCA has been added to Section 1.1, see revised SOW.

BEAC will not be considered for this scope of work due to the possibility of Continuing Professional Development Requirements.

Section 4.2 Non-Practicing Certificates (https://global.theiia.org/certification/beac/Pages/Continued-Professional- Development.aspx) To be reinstated to Active status, an inactive Certificant must request a return to active Certificant status by notifying BEAC in writing, report 20 CPD hours for the prior year when applying for restoration to Active status, and pay the full annual fee for reinstatement.

Registered Environmental Manager in Section 1.4 will remain. Registered Environmental Manager with National Registry of Environmental Professionals is a certification that allows ANAD to understand that the auditor has validity in knowing the rigor of the environmental arena. All auditors do not understand nor have the experience in the full picture of the complexity and aspects of environmental auditing.

Question 3: The deliverables under Section 1.5 incorrectly provide for BOTH a surveillance audit and a reassessment audit. Only one is needed. No Gap Analysis Assessment is stated in the SOW or schedule of deliverables although it is referenced in the contract document.

Answer 3: ANAD desires both a surveillance audit and a reassessment audit during the time periods of the Base Year and Option Year 3, SOW revised.

A Gap analysis was recently performed and ANAD does not see the need to pay another individual to perform this GAP analysis.

Question 4: Using the attachment (pages 21-26), state the current complexity level assigned by the current Certification Body to the ISO 14001 EMS.

Answer 4: This attachment (Determination of Audit Time of Quality and Environmental Management Systems) does not apply to the current Scope of Work, nor is a part of this solicitation.

Question 5: State whether the organization has in its possession the previous 3 years of audit reports for the ISO 14001 audits (yes or no).

Answer 5: Yes

Question 6: State whether the organization has in its possession the previous 3 years of nonconformance's, if any, along with associated corrective actions as issued and accepted by the current CB.

Answer 6: Yes the information is in ANAD's possession

Questions 7: State whether the current CB has issued any MAJOR nonconformance's during the previous 3 years (yes or no). If yes, state how many.

Answer 7: No

Question 8: Provide a copy of the current ISO 14001 certificate for the certified organization. Note: please do not respond that this will be provided post-award to the successful offeror. All certification bodies are required to verify that the existing certificate has not been suspended or revoked and is free from suspension or revocation.

The Certificate is not a classified document and is not subject to FOIA requests.

Answer 8: The existing certificate has not been suspended or revoked and is free from suspension or revocation.

Certificate provided as a part of this amendment as an attachment.

Question 9: Section 1.4 of statement of work requires contractor to provide a Registered Environmental Manager (REM)… Question: Can a registered Professional Environmental Engineer (PE) with over 30 years of environmental management and environmental regulations experience substitute for the REM requirement?

Answer 9: No, a substitution will not be accepted.

Question 10: Is there an incumbent?

Answer 10: Yes

Question 11: If so, who’re they and what was the winning bid, contract number and SOW?

Answer 11: Alliant Corporation – W911KF-14-V-0051

Question 12: State whether shift work occurs within operations being certified to ISO 14001 (i.e. 7AM-3PM, 3PM- 11PM, etc.).

Answer 12: Please refer to ANAD's hours of operation within the solicitation.

Question 13: State what exclusions, if any, are being taken to ISO 14001:2015.

Answer 13: No exclusions

Questions 14: State whether the organization has in its possession the previous 3 years of audit reports for the ISO 14001 audits (yes or no).

Answer 14: Yes

Question 15: Provide a copy of the current ISO 14001 certificate for the certified organization. Note: please do not respond that this will be provided post-award to the successful offeror. All certification bodies are required to verify that the existing certificate has not been suspended or revoked and is free from suspension or revocation.

The Certificate is not a classified document and is not subject to FOIA requests.

Answer 15: The existing certificate has not been suspended or revoked and is free from suspension or revocation.

Certificate provided as a part of this amendment as an attachment.
