This is a Questions and Responses document for federal solicitation W50S9H-26-R-A011 (also referenced as W912J2-26-R-A011) for Repair Airfield Lighting System at Volk Field Air National Guard Base in Camp Douglas, Wisconsin. The document addresses clarifications on technical specifications, proposal submission requirements, and project scheduling through 16 questions submitted by interested contractors, with responses provided by the Government through July 24, 2026. Key clarifications include: roof insulation specifications calling for two layers of 2.6" polyisocyanurate (not blanket mineral wool); liquidated damages clause information available on sam.gov under document "MFR Liquidated Damages YAQF192039"; Experience Modification Rate (EMR) reporting period corrected to 2021-2025 (not 2015-2019); Appendix G evaluation criteria revised to reference Air National Guard or Air Force airfields, commercial electrical work on airfields, and electrical vault construction; resumes included in the 10-page limit for Volume 1 experience submissions; removal of the option to submit experience cut sheets in lieu of resumes; clarification that "contract requirements" refers to solicitation requirements; guidance on omitting prime contractor points of contact when experience projects involved subcontracting to competing prime contractors; and confirmation that predecessor company references are only required if relevant past performance is unavailable. Several technical questions regarding pipe casing dimensions, EIFS system specifications, concrete mix design, phasing schedule, and high mast pole heights remain under research with responses pending Government review.

Solicitation W50S9H-26-R-A011 Repair Airfield Lighting System Questions and Responses dated 7/24/26

1. Please provide clarification regarding the roof insulation for the standing seam metal roof at the vault. Sheet AS-311 Detail 1 calls out (2) layers of 2.6” iso, Detail 2 on AS-311 calls out 6” of rigid insulation. Additionally, the standing seam spec talks about flexible faced blanket mineral wool with R-40. If we do the 2 layers of 2.6” iso, that will give an R30 and will be 5.2” thick and doesn’t align with the other detail or specifications. Can you provide clarification and direction on the desired insulation system at the roof of the vault?

Government Response:

1. Roof deck insulation thickness is not noted on Details 1 & 2/AS-311. Insulation thickness is noted on the Overall Roof Plan, Detail 1/AS-101 which states the insulation shall be (2) layers of 2.6” polyisocyanurate.

2. Blanket insulation specified in section 07 61 42 – Steel Standing Seam Roofing is incorrect. Provide polyisocyanurate roof deck insulation noted on the drawings.

2. Subject: FAR 52.211-12 Liquidated Damages.

Solicitation W50S9H26RA011 and Attachment A Gen & Tech Spec. ?: Please provide the FAR 52.211-12 Liquidated Damages clause information.

Government Response: The estimated LDs are uploaded to sam.gov solicitation notice under document labeled, “MFR Liquidated Damages YAQF192039 Repair Airfield Lighting “. Fill-in clause FAR 52.211-12 has been added to the solicitation in Amendment 0001.

3. Subject: Experience Modification Rate (EMR) Requirement The solicitation requests Experience Modification Rates (EMRs) for the years 2015 through 2019. Please confirm that the requested reporting period is correct and that EMRs for 2015–2019 are required.

Government Response: Reference Appendix G, EXHIBIT A, PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY QUESTIONNAIRE AND COMPANY SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE. The government is most interested in recent experience. The Experience Modification Rate (EMR) Requirement is corrected to a reporting period of 2021-2025 on sam.gov.

4. Subject: Appendix G, Paragraph D, Part 1 Appendix G, Paragraph D, Part 1 references 'construction projects for corrosion control, fuel cell hangars, and flight simulators or equivalent cities.' Please confirm whether this language is applicable to this acquisition or if it was inadvertently carried over from another solicitation.

Government Response: Reference Appendix G, Exhibit A, Part 1, Paragraph D has been modified to, “…Note that your description will be evaluated for similarity of the construction methods, particularly in construction projects for Air National Guard or Air Force airfields, commercial electrical work on airfields, electrical vault construction or equivalent facilities with similar characteristics to those identified in this solicitation…”. See document labeled, “APPENDIX G - EXHIBITS 22JUL2026” uploaded to sam.gov.

5. Subject: Proposal Instructions The solicitation contains conflicting information regarding resumes. One section indicates resumes are included in the page count, while another indicates they are excluded. Please clarify whether resumes count toward the proposal page limitation.

Government Response: See, “Amendment 1 Solicitation W50S9H-26-R-A011 SF 1442”. Section 00 21 00, paragraph 3.1.1.3.1 is corrected to state that resumes ARE included in the 10 page limit to Volume 1, Sub-Factor 1: Experience & Capability.

6. Subject: Experience Cut Sheets The solicitation requires submission of Experience Cut Sheets. Please clarify whether these are intended to be project profile summaries prepared by the offeror or whether a specific Government format or template is required.

Government Response: The solicitation did not require cut sheets. It required resumes or cut sheets. For the purposes of this solicitation, the option to submit cut sheets in place of a resume has been removed. Please refer to Amendment 1 Solicitation W50S9H-26-R-A011 SF 1442”. Section 00 21 00, paragraph 3.1.1.3.1 for updated terminology.

7. Subject: Section 3.1.1.2 Section 3.1.1.2 states that the Government will evaluate 'the offeror's experience with complex multidisciplinary project management and execution and how the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the contract's requirements taking this experience into consideration.' Please clarify whether 'the contract's requirements' refers to the requirements of this solicitation or to the contract associated with each submitted experience project.

Government Response: ‘the contract’s requirements’ is ambiguous terminology and Section 00 21 00, paragraph 3.1.1.2 has been updated in Amendment 1 to ‘requirements of this solicitation’.

8. Subject: Section 6 – Submissions Section 6 states: 'Offerors discouraged from providing points of contact with another contractors' facility, i.e., in case an offeror (or one of his/her team members) is in a subcontract with another contractor who has submitted a proposal on the same requirement. Offerors shall provide and submit the prime contract number and all Governmental agency POCs in lieu of subcontract numbers or prime contract POCs in situations described above.' Please clarify the Government's intent regarding this requirement. Specifically, if an experience project was performed as a subcontractor to another prime contractor that may also be submitting a proposal, should the offeror omit the prime contractor point of contact and provide only the Government point of contact and prime contract number?

Government Response: Yes, omit the prime contractor point of contact and include the Gov’t POC and prime contract number. This prevents the government from checking a reference and notifying a competitor of your planned proposal submission.

9. Subject: Section 3.1.2.5 Section 3.1.2.5 requests three references for a predecessor company. If the offeror does not have a predecessor company, please confirm that no additional predecessor company references are required beyond the references submitted for the offeror in Exhibit D.

Government Response: Solicitation, Section 00 21 00 Paragraph 3.1.2.5 is only applicable if relevant present/past performance experience is unavailable and your firm plans to submit information regarding predecessor companies. If a firm believes relevant past performance exists through Exhibit D, no additional predecessor company references are required.

Question Document 2.0 ends here Question Document 3.0 starts here and questions are currently being researched by AE and BCE. Responses will be provided on sam.gov once responses have been reviewed by the Contracting Officer.

10. On taxiway C and taxiway D they are calling out an 8"ID Casing pipe with 5-2inch pipes in it, and those 5 pipes will not fit in an 8" casing pipe. Please advise.

Government Response:

11. On Taxiway B the drawings show 4-2" pipes inside an 8" casing pipe, and that will not fit either. The outside diameter of 2" pipe is 2.35" that will exceed the 8" inside diameter of the big pipe getting bored. Please advise.

Government Response:

12. EIFS section 07 24 00 calls for a Class PM System (extruded polystyrene hardcoat system). According to our Dryvit supplier, Dryvit does not make a PM System, which is extruded foam with a thicker stucco basecoat over it 1/4".

If there is no reason why the extruded hardcoat system is preferred, would it be possible to use a more common EIFS system, which uses expanded polystyrene foam (Dryvit Outsulation Plus MD system)?

Government Response:

13. Do you have a summary of quantities for the electrical pipe and wire?

Government Response:

14. Subject: Phases 1 & 2 Phasing Sheet GC141 in Attachment B Design+Draws… REVISED 6-30-26. Phases 1 and 2 show occurring in FALL 2026. A Winter 2026/2027 phase is not shown. Is Winter understood to be a non-working shut-down period? If through no fault of the Contractor work cannot start in Fall of 2026 will a recovery schedule with winter work be required, not required, or recommended?

Government Response:

15. Subject: Phase 4 Phasing Sheet GC142 in Attachment B Design+Draws… REVISED 6-30-26. Are the provided Phase 4 dates of June 21 to August 31, 2027 (71 cal days) for the full runway closure constrained? Or will this runway closure be limited to 71 cal days and the hard dates listed will be negotiable?

Government Response:

16. Subject: Concrete Mix Design Please clarify the required concrete psi strength and corresponding mix design (p-610 or other approved mix) to be used for this project's airfield lighting systems.

Government Response:

17. Subject: High Mast Pole Height Plans do not specify height of the high mast poles, can the height please be provided for the existing high mast poles?
