SECTION 00 22 16 - SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS

The following have been modified:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Points of Contact:

Primary Contract Specialist: Jefferey Ball Email: jefferey.a.ball@usace.army.mil

Secondary Contract Specialist: Dean DeFord Email: dean.d.deford@usace.army.mil

Questions shall be submitted no later than 08 June 2017 at 1400hrs Central European Summer Time (CEST).

Questions submitted after this date will be answered at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. For any questions concerning the solicitation or preparation of your proposal, you may contact the Contract Specialist via email at the above email addresses. All questions must be submitted in writing. No questions will be acknowledged or answered verbally.

Request For Information Government Responses Amendment 01:

Q1. GENERAL QUESTION: Of the four technical factors, only Factor 3 Management Approach has a page limitation of 50 pages. Are there page limitations to the other three technical factors: FACTOR 1 EXPERIENCE, FACTOR 2 PAST PERFROMANCE or FACTOR 4 DESIGN CAPABILITY?

A1. In accordance with the solicitation there are no page limitations to technical factors: Factor 1 Experience, Factor 2 Past Performance, and Factor 4 Design Capability. There is a limitation of 50 pages for Factor 3 Management Approach.

Q2. GENERAL QUESTION: Are there any Design or Construction firms which are excluded from participation?

A2. In Accordance with FAR 36.209, the contract will not be awarded to any firm or its subsidiaries or affiliates that prepared the 35% design. Furthermore, award will not be made to any firms that are currently excluded from working with the U.S. Federal Government.

Q3. Paragraph 1.1.1.1.1.1.7 FACTOR 3: MANAGEMENT APPROACH; (page 43 of 161) states: “NOTE:

Maximum allowable page limit for Factor 3 Management Approach is 50 pages. Any additional pages over 50 will not be evaluated by the government.” This paragraph goes on to further require the inclusion of Attachment 4 "Resume Forms" for four (4) identified Specifically Identified Personnel as well as for all key subcontractors signed letters of commitment in this factor.

QUESTION: Do the resume forms and signed letters of commitment count against the 50 page limitation for

MANAGEMENT APPROACH?

A3. Please see Solicitation Amendment 01 SF 1442 Section 00 21 00 Instructions “Instruction to Offerors” under Factor 3 Submission Requirements. The following has been added: “The Organization Chart, Resumes, and Letters of Commitment shall not count towards the 50 page maximum for this Factor.”

Q4. Paragraph 4.1.1.1.3 FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE: Subparagraph 1 a. (page 50 of 161) states: All projects submitted shall demonstrate work experience performed within Romania or the European Union (EU).

QUESTION: This criteria is overly restrictive and prevents firms with significant US/worldwide DoD/USACE design/build construction management experience from submitting a competitive proposal. It appears this will significantly reduce competition and/or lead to potential proposers' protests? We recommend that this criteria be changed to allow all world-wide DoD/USACE project experience that meets the other criteria requirements.

Subparagraph 4. already states “Projects demonstrating experience in Romania are considered more relevant.” This would seem to appropriately recognize local performance.

A4. Please see Solicitation Amendment 01 SF 1442 Section 00 22 00 Supplementary Instructions “Instruction to Offerors” under Factor 1 Experience. The language has been changed.

Q5. Paragraph 4.1.1.1.3 FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE: Subparagraph 1. d. (page 51 of 161) states: “Projects consider relevant shall be completed within the last six (6) years from the date of the solicitation or at least 50% complete by the date of the solicitation.” Subparagraph 4. Also states “Projects older than six (6) years may be considered but will be considered less relevant.” Paragraph 4.1.1.1.5 FACTOR 2 : PAST PERFORMANCE states: Past Performance will be evaluated for projects completed in the last five (5) years from the date of the solicitation”

QUESTION: Should the Past Performance statement be "from the last six (6) years before the date of the solicitation" to match the EXPERIENCE statement?

A5. Please see Solicitation Amendment 01 SF 1442 Section 00 22 00 Supplementary Instructions “Instruction to Offerors” under Factor 2 Past Performance. The language has been changed from “…the last six (6) years from the date of this solicitation….” To “…the last five (5) years from the date of this solicitation….”

Q6. Will there be an extension to the due date? Currently, the proposals are due June 9th which is 3 days after the site visit that is schedule on June 6th. The solicitation also requires all questions from the site visit to be submitted in writing. I would like to propose a 4 week extension to the current due date considering the number of questions expected on a RFP of this size, time required for USACE to provide answers/clarifications/updates to the site visit written questions, and the additional time needed for contractors to incorporate those changes/clarifications/updates resulting from the site visit written questions.

When is the cut off to submit RFI’s to USACE on this solicitation?

A6. Please see Amendment 01 SF 1442 Block 13A Proposal Due Date is Extended to no later than 15:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) 15 June 2017. Please see Solicitation Amendment 01 SF 1442 Section 00 21 16 Instructions to Proposers RFI Amendment 01 – Establishes a Request for Information due date of no later than 08 June 2017 at 1400hrs Central European Summer Time (CEST).

Q7. We will have a rental vehicle for the site visit, so the vehicle details are unknown to complete the Commercial Vehicle Access Form. Will there be transportation options provided by the base/USACE onto MK Airbase for the site visit, or can we submit the Commercial Vehicle Access Form to MK Airbase security on the day of the site visit?

A7. The Commercial Vehicle Access form is not required. Site Visit Attendees will meet at the designated location illustrated on Attachment 7 Camp MK Location provided in the solicitation. Transportation will be provided from the meeting point to the site.

Q8. Solicitation, SF1442, Block 10. Block 10, Item 3, states, “Proposals are due on 09 June 2017 by 15:00 Hours Central European Summer Time (CEST).” However, as the Pre-proposal Site Visit and Briefing is to be held on 06 June 2017 additional time will be needed to fully review the information provided at the site visit and to prepare reasonable technical and cost proposals. Please advise if an extension to the proposal due date can be granted.

A8. Please see Amendment 01 SF 1442 Block 13A Proposal Due Date is Extended to no later than 15:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) 15 June 2017.

Q9. Is there a deadline for questions and what should we expect as the turn-around time for responses to questions submitted?

A9. Please see Solicitation Amendment 01 SF 1442 Section 00 21 16 Instructions to Proposers RFI Amendment 01

– Establishes a Request for Information due date of no later than 08 June 2017 at 1400hrs Central European Summer Time (CEST).

Q10. Section 00 21 00, 4.1.1.1.3 FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE, Item 1, paragraph d (page 51), states that projects considered relevant shall be completed within the last six (6) years from the date of the solicitation; 4.1.1.1.5 FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE (page 53) states that past performance will be evaluated for projects completed in the last five (5) years from the date of the solicitation. Please clarify if relevancy is five years or six as this impacts both Factors 1 and 2.

A10. Please see Solicitation Amendment 01 SF 1442 Section 00 22 00 Supplementary Instructions “Instruction to Offerors” under Factor 2 Past Performance. The language has been changed from “…the last five (5) years from the date of this solicitation….” To “…the last six (6) years from the date of this solicitation….”

Q11. Section 00 21 00, FACTOR 5: PRICE, Item 6 (page 47) states “Executed Bid Bond or Bank Letter of Assurance (to be submitted hard copy, notarized original); and a copy of the agent’s authority to sign bonds/BLA for the surety company shall accompany the bid bond/BLA.” Since submission is to occur via AMRDEC, please provide instructions on submitting the required hard copy of the Bid Bond or Bank Letter of Assurance.

A11. Please see Solicitation Amendment 01 SF 1442 Section 00 21 00 Factor 5: Price Item 6. Line six has been updated to read:

Executed Bid Bond or Bank Letter of Assurance (to be submitted hard copy, notarized original via delivery service to the address below); and a copy of the agent’s authority to sign bonds/BLA for the surety company shall accompany the bid bond/BLA. The Executed Bid Bond or BLA shall also be provided as a copy along with the electronic proposal. The hardcopy must be delivered prior to the proposal due date.

Q20. In the RFP specification section 01 45 01 Quality Control Part 3.2.1.a states that Construction Quality Control (CQC) system manager reports to the project superintendent. CQC system manager usually reports to an officer in the headquarter office not to a site personnel. Please confirm who CQC will report to.

A20. In accordnace with the specification the CQC manager should report to the superintendent.

Q21. In the Price schedule document, in item 2001CB, it is written that there are 2 Tanks 1,419M Liters / 375.000 Gallon each, whereas in Attachment A-Design Analysis report in FSC part item 2.2.1 Fuel Tanks Storage, fuel tanks are given as 2x1.893M Liters / 500.000 Gallon each. Please confirm the required fuel tank volume.

A21. The capacity of the Fuel Tanks will be 1.892M Liters / 499.985 Gallons each. Please see revised Price Schedule dated 24 May 2017 that is attached with this solicitation amendment 02. Any documents in this RFP stating the Fuel Storage Capacity is " 2 tanks at 500.000 gallons (1.893 L) each" shall be replaced with "2 tanks at 499,985 gallons (1.892 L) each. The documents will be revised in the next amendment.

Q22. Section 00 70 00, FAR 52.236-1, states that the Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 25% of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract. How is the 25% to be calculated? Is it based on the total overall cost of execution (including field office overhead) minus home office overhead, profit and bonding cost?

A22. Contract clause 52.236-1 has been included in the contract to assure adequate interest in and supervision of all work involved in the completion of this project by the Prime contractor. The contracting officer has discretion in calculating the percentage performed by the Prime contractor, however, generally speaking the calculations will be based on the number and value of activities assigned to the Prime contractor in the schedule submissions and updates.

Q23. Section 00 70 00, FAR 52.236-1. This clause states that the Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 25% of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract.

We interpret "work" to mean physical work activities, involving any of the trades required to directly place the construction required by the contract. It also includes physical activities that directly support the work, such as: (1) warehousing; (2) maintenance of equipment; (3) procurement and transportation of supplies or construction materials to the site for use by the contractor; (4) procuring, transporting and providing equipment for use by the contractor; (5) logistical activities that directly support the contractor's employees; and (6) similar activities. Please confirm our interpretation.

A23. The Government interprets “work” to be defined as labor; not to include materials or transportation costs.

Q24. Section 00 70 00, FAR 52.236-1. This clause states that the Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 25% of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract.

We interpret "on site" to mean the area within the construction limits depicted or described in the contract drawings or specifications. Activities such as transportation, maintenance and logistics that take place outside of the construction limits depicted or described are still "on the site," if in direct support of activities within the construction limits. Please confirm our interpretation.

A24. The Government defines “on the site” as on the actual construction site at Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania.

Q25. Section 00 70 00, FAR 52.236-1. This clause states that the Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 25% of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract.

We interpret "its own organization" to include, consistent with the definition of "contractor" in FAR 44.101, work performed by an affiliate to the prime contractor. Please confirm our interpretation.

A25. The Government defines “Contractor” as the awardee of the contract. Affiliates do not qualify as the “Contractor” under this clause.
