Any portion of the proposal not available in electronic format, i.e. cut sheets, if applicable, should be scanned in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, thus making it available electronically. The CD-ROM must be clearly labeled by solicitation number, project name, installation, volume number and offeror’s name. The CD-ROM shall be marked with a label stating “Unclassified//Controlled Unclassified Info.” In the event of any conflict between the electronic submission and the hard copy submission, the hard copy submission will govern and will be the material upon which the Government bases its evaluation and ultimately, its decision. Electronic media may be submitted in an un-editable format.”

Paragraph 3.2.4.1(2) of section 00 22 11; delete the word “certified” where it appears without replacement.

BIDDER’S QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT REPLY

(Questions that may be of general interest of all bidders/Government and that are not readily answered by the proceeding changes will appear below. These questions may have been paraphrased or altered to represent several questions regarding the same subject and/or clarify and simplify the question(s). Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors/Bidders for information only.)

Q036: What is the Pro Forma information requested bound and folded in Vol. II?

A036: Pro Forma information is the information requested in Tabs B, C, D and E of Volume II. Note revisions that appear above in this amendment.

Q038: The following portions of SECTION 00 22 11 FACTORS FOR EVALUATION, BASIS OF

AWARD, EVALUATION CRITERIA, RATING SYSTEM AND DEFINITIONS 00 22 11 SECTION)

are to be replaced with the following language:

Factor 1 states the Prime Contractor shall demonstrate not less than two previous buildings of "Similar Size" 50,000sf or more and having two previous projects having to have been "similar magnitude of $25,000,000 or more.

In a teaming arrangement do the above mentioned requirements have to be from the prime bidder or can they be submitted by our primary teaming partner subcontractor. If not, can the standards be lowered? Requiring a small business to have two projects of that size and valve is unreasonable and will seriously limit competition. Also under Similar Scope, #3 - Can other similar concrete pavement projects that were designed for heavy duty truck aprons, government vehicle storage yards etc that are 8" thick be considered because they are basically the same as 8" Airfield Pavement?

A038: No; this standard will remain unchanged. Offeror are reminded that Large/Small business JVs except for “Mentor-Protégés agreements officially approved by the SBA” will not be allowed to submit a proposal as a qualified bidder.

Yes; See revisions that appear above in this amendment which addresses a change “Similar Scope” to include pavements 8” and greater.

Q042:

Reference Section 00 21 11, Paragraph 3.2.5 - 3.2.5.2

Question Would the Government please clarify what specific information is to be included in the Offeror's proposal under Tab D, Work Breakdown Structure Sheet, as well as the required format for that information?

A042: The Work Breakdown Structure Sheet that is issued with this amendment is to be provided under Tab D.

Q046:

Reference Section 00 22 11 Paragraph 2.7 and Clause 52.236-28 item (a.2)

Question The Preparation of Proposals clause and the instructions require manual/original (“blue ink”) signatures for proposals. Would the Government clarify which volumes/tabs this requirement applies to, and whether this applies only to the original binder or to the copies as well?

A046: The original must be marked “Original” and marked in blue ink. The blue ink applies to both Volumes I and Volume II.

Q047 & Q048: What is the Pro Forma information requested bound and folded in Vol. II?

A047 & A048: See Q036 and its response.

Q080: Reference Section 00 21 11, Paragraph 2.2

Question Is the electronic submission requirement for 1 CD containing the complete proposal (both volumes), or 2 CDs total (1 CD for each volume)?

A080: Paragraph 2.2 has been revised under this amendment and addresses this question as well as others.

Q081: Reference Section 00 21 11, Paragraph 2.3

Question Do the page limitations exclude front matter such as title page, table of contents, and cover/transmittal letter?

A081: Front matter such as title page, table of contents, and cover/transmittal letter are not part of the 75 page limit.

Q082: Reference Section 00 21 11, Paragraph 3.2.1

Question Would the Government please clarify which items specifically (Tabs A-E) should be included in the bound copies (Volume II Price) and which in the sealed envelope (Volume II Pro Forma Information)?

d. Please define the number of networked PC workstations that would be concurrently connected to the ACS software.

A094:

a. The exact make and model of the CCTV system has yet to be determined by the government. After award, the successful Offeror will have to coordinate with contracting officer’s representative to obtain this information.

b. The design intent is to have the access controls system notify the CCTV system to record on a specific camera when the local door records an event. Events include any signal received from local door controller such as card swiped, door opened, door propped open, door forced open, etc. The make and model of the DVR recorder has yet to be determined by the government. After award, the successful Offeror will have to coordinate with contracting officer’s representative to obtain this information.

c. The file types for the graphical floor plan need to be coordinated with the CCTV and IDS vendor. After award the successful Offeror shall coordinate file types with these vendors via contracting officer’s representative.

d. Unlimited.

Q102: Solicitation page 20 of 116 paragraph 2.2, please concur that the CD‐ROM is only required for Volume 1 Technical Proposal. It will be virtually impossible to burn a CD for Volume 2 Price Proposal and Pro Forma Information just before due time/date of the bid unless the Proposal Bid Schedule can be left out from the CD‐ROM. Please know that most subcontractor numbers arrive sometime 30‐45 minutes before deadline time.

Q103: Solicitation page 29 of 116 paragraph 3.2.5.2, please concur that as of this moment, there is nothing to submit for TAB D under Volume 2.

A104: The word “certified” has been removed from this paragraph. Offerors must submit statement listing required items.

Q105: Are there any temporary utilities available on site for the contractor’s use? If yes, than please provide the details of available services and also clarify the responsibility of usage charges for the same.

A105: Offerors are directed to paragraph 17 of section 00 80 00 (Special Contract Requirements), titled “Availability and Use of Utility Services and Permits (Apr 1984)” and the Topographic Survey drawings V-101 through V-115.
