SUBJECT: W912GB-17-R-0001, AE Commissioning Services in Germany, Belgium, Romania, Poland, Public Announcement Amendment 0003

The subject Public Announcement is amended to include the following Request for Information Questions and Responses.

QUESTION ANSWER

1. Can you please provide an address for the delivery of hard copies?

No hard copies are required.

2. How many contracts are anticipated to be awarded? One

3. Many international/private clients do not have the capability or interest to respond to PPQ forms written in English. This requirement appears to significantly favor US-based, English speaking clients over international and private sector ones.

a) Can this be excluded from the requirements?

b) Can Letters of Recommendation for local projects be submitted in lieu of PPQ forms or

CPARS?

c) Will PPQs from international private clients (i.e. non US government clients) receive equal weight to those from US government clients?

d) Will the inability to submit completed PPQ forms for the six (6) projects significantly impact the scoring/overall quality of the submission package?

a) No

b) Yes

c) Yes

d) Please see response to question 27 on Amendment 0002.

4. The solicitation states—“The services required under this contract include third party Design, Construction and Post Acceptance phase” services. In several countries this work is performed/executed by the ‘first party’ or ‘designer of record’. Can you please confirm that equivalent services performed and executed as a ‘first party’ or ‘designer of record’ will be considered equally as relevant as those performed as a ‘third party’?

Cannot answer without further clarity.

5. This solicitation states--- “The Offeror shall submit a maximum of six projects total, all six projects must be completed within the last six years, from the date of this solicitation and must be in the types of projects specifically indicated above in Paragraph 5, PROJECT INFORMATION. Projects must be at least 90% complete.” Must the projects be completed within the last six years or only 90% complete

The projects must be up to 90% complete and within the last six years.

SUBJECT: W912GB-17-R-0001, AE Commissioning Services in Germany, Poland and Belgium, Public Announcement Amendment 0003 within the last six years? Please also define ‘project completion’ (i.e. construction completion, commissioning services completion, or other)?

6. If a response is very strong in 2 or 3 countries versus all 4, is an award still possible?

Yes

7. We, therefore, kindly request a 2-week submission extension starting from the date of question response be granted as a lot of rework may be required. Is this possible?

No, the proposal due date remains 24 Feb 2017.

8. Please confirm that the 75-page SF Part I count does not include PPQs, CPARS, Cover, Cover Letter, Tabs, and Letters of Commitment

Yes

The proposal due date and time remain unchanged. Any firm submitting a proposal must acknowledge this amendment by submitting a copy of this signed letter with their proposal.
