Vendor Questions and Government Response

AMENDMENT 0002

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS:

1) DIVISION SPECS: SECTION 2.1.2.1 Primavera: If Primavera P6 is selected for use, provide the "xer" export file in a version of P6 importable by the Government system.

DIVISION SPECS: SECTION 2.1.2.2 Other Than Primavera - If the contractor chooses software other than Primavera P6, that is compliant with this specification, provide for the Government's use two licenses, two computers, and training for two Government employees in the use of the software. These computers will be stand-alone and not connected to Government network. Computers and licenses will be returned at project completion.

The requirement for Primavera P6 or equivalent (2.1 on Page 9). Is Microsoft Project acceptable instead of Primavera P6?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

Microsoft Project is acceptable for scheduling. Licenses, computers and training do not need to be provided.

2) DIVISION SPECS: SECTION 3.3.6 Standard Activity Coding Dictionary -Use the activity coding structure defined in the Standard Data Exchange Format (SDEF) in ER 1-1-11. This exact structure is mandatory. Develop and assign all Activity Codes to activities as detailed herein. A template SDEF compatible schedule backup file is available on the QCS web site: http://rms.usace.army.mil.

Review of the website, did not find information directly relating to SDEF. We need to be confident that we can meet this requirement, and will need more information (or direction) about this.

Is SDEF required and how difficult will this be to learn / integrate?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

SDEF will not be required for this size of a project.

3) DIVISION SPECS: SECTION 31, references trenching, and the need for a "Competent Person" to observe the construction. Our subcontractor is an OSHA 90 certified CP, but this is a general electrical installation certification. Does the Government require a specific OSHA 90 certified for Trenching?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

Government requires a person to have an OSHA 30-Hour Construction certificate to be deemed a competent person.
