Insurance, Surety, and Mandatory Documents Clarifications

In response to multiple questions we are posting the following clarifications to assist offerors in preparation of their quotes:

1. Several performance work statements (attachments 1-30) may contain language referencing the FAR clause 52.228-5 “Insurance-Work on a Government Installation”. The requirements of this clause only apply to contracts greater than $150,000. If your quote is less than $150,000 then you do not need to purchase any additional insurance required by this clause.

2. Performance work statements for park attendant contracts may contain a requirement for a successful offeror to obtain a surety, typically in the amount of $5,000, before work can begin. This requirement is mandatory for successful offerors. We are aware that under previous contracts the required amount was

$2,500 or less, however regulatory changes have increased the required amount.

3. There have been questions about what documents are required for a quote to be considered for award.

We encourage offerors to read Section H (page 3) of the solicitation which contains instructions and additional information as well as the selection criteria contained in the provision 52.212-2 “Evaluation –

Commercial Items” (page 9). Additionally we would like to clarify that the following documents are mandatory and are required to be submitted as part of a successful quote:

a. Quote Pricing Sheet – This is the first page of the performance work statement that applies to the contract area that you are submitting a quote for this year (Attachments 1-30).

i. Note: You may submit quotes for only one area or any combination of multiple areas.

You do not have to submit a quote for all 30 areas.

ii. Note: Input your yearly pricing in the blocks on the right and total them in the final column. Prices must be stated as an annual total not monthly. This pricing sheet deviates from a traditional SF1449 format.

iii. Note: The first table in Section H of the solicitation (page 3) contains a list of all areas.

b. Attachment 31 - Related Experience Form

i. Note: You may submit more than one related experience form, however there is no stated evaluation preference for quotes with multiple related experience forms (See

52.212-2).

c. Attachment 32 - Past Performance Questionnaire

i. Note: The top portion is to be completed by the offeror and the bottom portion of this document needs to be completed by a customer who you previously worked for.

ii. Note: You may submit more than one past performance questionnaire, however there is no stated evaluation preference for quotes with multiple past performance questionnaires (See 52.212-2).
