BIDDER’S QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT REPLY

1. Regarding Factor 2, Specialized Experience, the evaluation criteria of the RFP indicates that projects submitted for this factor must have been projects that had a minimum of 25% self-performance. However RFP clause FAR 52.236-1 Performance of Work by the Contractor indicates the awardee must self-perform 20% of the work and RFP clause FAR 52.219-14 indicates the awardee must self-perform 15% of the work.

Could the 25% self-performance requirement in the evaluation criteria be changed to 15% to better fit the project requirement? If not, will projects submitted that have less than 25% self-performance be evaluated?

Response: Amend #5 added/revised the self-performance requirement to 20% for Factor 2.

2. We will intend to pursue the project referenced above with our SBA approved Protege in a Joint Venture.

Typically, when a Mentor Protege Joint Venture is a proposer, solicitations define that relevant project experience can be provided by either the Mentor or the Protege. Please clarify any specific specialized experience or past performance criteria as it relates to a Joint Venture. Response: See Amend #4 revision to section 00 22 10 paragraph 3.1.3 addressing Joint Ventures.

3. Will the Projnet/Dr Checks system be used for RFI’s? We cannot find a Projnet Key Code to submit RFI’s via Projnet. Please advise the key code or how / where do we address prebid RFI’s. Response: Dr Checks will not be used for RFIs. Prebid RFIs are emailed to:

Loretta.E.Parris@usace.army.mil and Nicholas.P.Emanuel@usace.army.mil

4. We request a second site visit to review the demolition and existing site conditions with our subcontracting team. Please advise a date that works best and base access requirements. Response: Amend

3. Second site visit was conducted 10 JAN 17

5. Specification section 01 45 00. 00 paragraph 3.4.3 states that the specialize QC personnel (listed in the matrix on page 5 of this section) states “…These individuals or specialized technical companies must be directly employed by the prime Contractor and may not be employed by a supplier or subcontractor on this project..” As this project is set aside for small business this requirement represents an enormous overhead expense for the prime contractor and to the Government. Based on preliminary project durations estimates, this cost could exceed $950,000. It is our experience that these specialized QC personnel are allowed to be employed by the subcontractor, act as the QC in their specialty and allowed to work in their areas of expertise as long it does not interfere with the duties as QC. The following is text we are familiar with from other districts.

In addition to CQC personnel specified elsewhere in the contract, the Contractor shall provide as part of the CQC organization specialized personnel to assist the CQC System Manager for the following areas identified per Experience Matrix Table. These individuals may be employees of the prime or subcontractor. These individuals identified per the Experience Matrix Table, shall be responsible to the CQC System Manager; be physically present at the construction site during work on their areas of responsibility; have the necessary education and/or experience in accordance with the experience matrix listed herein. These individuals in the Experience Matrix Table may perform other duties but must be allowed sufficient time to perform their assigned quality control duties as described in the Quality Control Plan. Response: 01 45 00 paragraph

3.4.3 is correct. Specialized CQC staff are only employed by the Prime Contractor during that feature of work.

6. Please provide the lead and asbestos survey information for the 20 building to be demolished. Response:

Survey provided as part of Amend #5

7. What is the government’s intended awarded date for this project? This will determine our schedule and winter construction activities. Response: Expected award is 30 MAR 17.

8. “Pass-doors” are specified in section 10-22-39, page 5, accessories 2.3, 2.3.1 doors. Also reference detail 3/A-102A. Can you confirm this door is not by the operable partition section? Response: The pass-door is only required in room’s 223 folding partition. Detail 3/A-102A is used in all other classrooms egress doors between classrooms.

9. The IF series of drawings, FF&E Plan Notes, note 1 states: REFER TO FURNITURE, FIXTURES &

EQUIPMENT (FF&E) PACKAGE FOR PROCUREMENT INFORMATION, PRODUCT

SPECIFICATIONS AND QUANTITIES. Please validate the contractor is purchasing the furniture for this project? If so, Please provide the FF&E package referred to in the note. Response: The Government is purchasing the FF&E.

And For a project that has a CPARS rating…..can a copy of this CPARS rating be submitted in lieu of the attachment PPQ as requested in the RFP document. Response: Submitting a previously-completed PPQ is acceptable. A PPQ must be submitted for each project (submitting CPARS rating is not acceptable in place of the PPQ)

12. Section 5.3.1: Please clarify what is considered “automated” classrooms. Response: Classrooms with the audio visual, communication and electrical features similar to the scope specified for the classrooms in this project.

13. Section 5.3.1: Is an offeror to provide exactly 3 projects? Can it be less than 3? Response: “Contractor shall demonstrate (3) projects not less than 75% complete or physically completed within the last ten

(10) years.” Per Amend #2.

14. Section 5.3.1: Please reference the following paragraph:

Relevant Scope: Construction of individual projects or multiple Task Orders under a MATOC are acceptable, if each meets the criteria. Examples should be given for Magnitude and complexity of the following type projects to show relevant SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE.

a) Is MC cable allowed for branch circuit wiring? Response: Spec Section 26 20 00.23, par. 3.1.4 'Wiring Methods' does not list Metal-Clad (MC) cables for the branch circuit wiring (i.e., as a wiring method). As per Sheet E-002, General Note 14 MC cables is permitted only for cable drops to wiring devices (i.e., to an outlet) and lighting fixtures. Using MC cable as a raceway is not permitted.

b) Would MC cable be allowed for branch circuit wiring within the walls from outlet box to outlet box if a branch circuit conduit was used to the panel for circuit home runs? Response: Sheet E-002, General Note 14 indicates that MC cables shall only be permitted for cable drops to wiring devices and lighting fixtures. Spec Section 26 20 00.23, par. 3.1.5.15 has been revised by this amendment to clarify that MC cable is permitted for connection/drops to lighting fixtures.

51. The specifications allow 3-6’ length X ½” diameter flexible connections from a junction box to light fixture.

We assume no “daisy chaining” of light fixtures would be allowed. Response: Specification Section 26 20

00.23 par. 3.1.4 does not permit MC cable for the branch circuit, unless otherwise indicated. Sheet E- 002, General Note 14 indicates that MC cables shall only be permitted for cable drops to wiring devices and lighting fixtures. Spec Section 26 20 00, par. 3.1.5.15 has been revised by this amendment to allow MC cable for cable drops to lighting fixtures.

a) Would MC cable be allowed in lieu of ½” flex for the connection from a light fixture to a junction box?

Response: Sheet E-002, General Note 14 indicates that MC cables shall only be permitted for cable drops to wiring devices and lighting fixtures. Spec Section 26 20 00.23, par. 3.1.5.15 has been revised this amendment to clarify that MC cable is permitted for connection/drops to lighting fixtures.

b) If so, would MC cable lengths greater than 6’ be allowed because a ground conductor is integral to the MC cable? Response: The length of MC cable can exceed 6 feet, as long as connection to one electrical fixture.

Spec Section 26 20 00, par. 3.1.5.15 has been revised this amendment to allow MC cable for cable drops to lighting fixtures.

52. Video teleconference outlets: ET-001 shows video teleconference data outlets as having a duplex LC connector and two cat 6 jacks; ET-503 detail 4 shows the VT outlets as having two cat 6 green jacks and a duplex LC connector; and ET-501 & 502: No horizontal fiber patch panels are shown and no fiber type for VT data outlets is indicated.

a) Is a duplex fiber required from VT outlets to the TR? Response: A duplex fiber is required to each VT outlet. Sht. ET-001 symbol calls for a duplex LC connector, which would require a duplex (2 strand) horizontal distribution fiber optic cable to be routed from the VT outlet to the Communications Room.

b) If so, please identify fiber type. SM or MM? OS1, OS2, OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4. Duplex tight buffered?

CMG, CMR or CMP? Response: The horizontal optical fiber shall be single mode (SM) type. Please see attached amendment for the specifics of the horizontal distribution fiber optic cable.

c) Is a horizontal fiber patch panel required in the TR (none shown) for termination of the duplex horizontal fiber cables? Response: A dedicated fiber patch panel (FPP) for the VT outlets is not required. The rack details on Sht. ET-501 show the approximate quantity of FPPs required. The contractor is required to provide sufficient quantity for termination of all fiber optic cables, plus a 25% spare capacity as per Spec Section 27 10 00, par. 2.4.7. A dedicated fiber patch panel for the VT outlets is not required, since only two (2) VT outlets are required on this project.
