RFP No W9128A-10-R-0014

SECTION 00900

Questions and Answers

(AM-0004)

Q # Date Question Answer 1 July 12, In Volume 1 of our Proposal, should the Surety Letter or the JV/Teaming Agreements occupy Tab 1?

At the moment we are planning our tab breakdown as follows:

Volume 1, Non-Price Proposal Tab 1: JV/Teaming Agreements Tab 2: Surety Letters Tab 3: Experience and Performance Risk Tab 4: Past Performance

Volume 2, Price Tab 1: SF 1442 Tab 2: Price Proposal Schedule Tab 3: Representations and Certifications Tab 4: SF LLL

See AM-0001, SECTION 00120, See 2.0 Proposal Format

2 July 12, Can you kindly clarify if the 5 projects should be shown for only the prime contractor or if all team members should be showing project examples, and past performance?

See AM-0001, SECTION 00120, 2.5.1 Relevant Contracts, paragraph 4, Joint Venture Offerors may submit a maximum of 5 relevant contracts.

3 July 12, On solicitation W9128A-10-R-0014 are there any specific qualification requirements for the three Proposal Schedule individuals listed: Project Engineer, Quality Control Representative, and Site Safety & Health Officer and if so will they be distributed by amendment?

Please reference Amendment 0002, Division 1 Specs:

Section 01 45 04 Quality Control Representative

Section 01 35 29 Site Safety and Health Officer 1.6.1.2

Section 01 90 00 Project Manager 1.2.4

Please see AM-0004, item 2 for Proposal Schedule CLIN 0001 change.

4 July 12, Per the original RFP as well as Amendment 1, under section 00120, 2.1.1 it states that Volume I, Non-Price Proposal requires a submission of 1 original and 5 copies. It also states that Volume 1 shall also include 1 Original and 2 copies (certified as a true copy) of the Offeror's Joint Venture Agreement.

Does this mean that we (the Contractors) are to submit 3 JV Agreements in each of the 6 binders? This would mean that the Government would have 18 originals/copies of the JV Agreements.

See AM-0001, SECTION 00120, 2.1.1 Volume 1, Non-Price Proposal. Offeror shall submit 1 original + 5 copies of the proposal package.

The ORIGINAL Volume 1 package must also include one (1) original and additional certified (2) copies of the JV agreement which will be incorporated in the ‘Original’ volume only.

No copy of the JV agreement is necessary for the submission copies.

5 July 12, In reference to W9128A-10-R-0014, AM-0001, SECTION 00900-22, 00120-7, 2.5.2.2. Submission Requirements (2). The Offeror shall submit a letter from their proposed surety stating the maximum single contract bonding amount (minimum of $500,000) and the aggregate amount for all contracts (minimum of $1.5M).

Question: Is FAR 28.203-1 Security interests by an individual surety…(1) An escrow account with a federally insured financial institution……..acceptable for this MATOC solicitation?

See AM-0001, SECTION 00120, 2.5.2.2 Submission Requirements item (2). Sureties names must appear on the list contained in Treasury Department Circular 570. This circular may be found at:

U.S. Department of Treasury Financial Management Service Surety Bond Branch 3700 East West Highway, Room 6F01 Hyattsville, MD 20782 Or via the internet at http://www.fms.treas.gov/c57 0/

Please refer to the most recent amendment for possible changes to the proposal due date and time.

6 July 12, Are formal teaming agreements, which are not JV's, allowed, where the prime SDVOSB company acts as Team Leader and prime contractor and the other team members are key subcontractors? If so, can the contract experience and past performance references of the other team members then be used in the proposal?

See AM-0001, SECTION 00120, 2.5.1 Relevant Contracts, paragraph 4.

See AM-0001, SECTION 00120, 2.5.2 Factor 1, Experience and Performance Risk, paragraph 6.

A Joint Venture is a contractual agreement joining together two or more parties for the purpose of executing a particular business undertaking. JV’s will have a single DUNS, Cage Code and TAX ID.

The Offeror must be a legal Joint Venture to receive the privileges of sharing past performance information.

7 July 12, Amendment 1 in block 11 of SF 30, states that the hour and date for receipt of Offers is not extended, however, page 2, paragraph 4, states that "The proposal due date of July 22, 2010, 2:00 P.M., Hawaiian Standard Time, remains unchanged.". The SF1442 included in the solicitation RFP listed in block 13A, stated a due date of 2010.07.21.14:00 HST. Please clarify.

See Amendments 0001, item 4; 0002, item 3;

0003, item 4; 0004. Item 2.

8 July 13,

1. Can you confirm that the rates we are to quote in the Proposal Schedule DO NOT include profit or general & administrative costs?

Answer to Q1:

Reference page 00010-4, Para 4 (a), (AM- 0003). CLINS are to only include what is stated in page 00010-4, para 4(a). Profit and General & Administrative costs are not to be included.

http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/agreement.html� http://www.investorwords.com/3610/party.html� http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/executing.html� http://www.investorwords.com/623/business.html� http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/undertaking.html�

2. Is there a definition of what can (or must be) included in the quoted overhead rate? Is insurance to be included? What about the performance and payment bonds?

3. The RFP doesn’t require listing of all expected subcontractors, but the amendment #2 (draft contract) requires subs to be approved. Are subs required to be listed in the proposal, or will they be approved during negotiations for final award?

Answer to Q2:

Reference page 00010-4, Para 4 (a), (AM- 0003). The Government has stated only what should NOT be included in the Home Office Overhead Rate in page 00010-4, para 4(b).

Performance and payment bonds are usually a direct cost to a contract.

Answer to Q3:

No expected subcontractors submissions are required to be included in response to this RFP. However, See SECTION 00800, page 2, DB-13 KEY PERSONNEL, SUBCONTRACTORS AND OUTSIDE

ASSOCIATES OR CONSULTANTS (MAY

2006) that may be applicable to specific Design Build Task Order RFPs.
