Q1. How do I access the files/documents for the Project?

A1. See, Sections 4.4, 4.5 & 4.7 of the FBO Vendor Guide available for download in PDF format via the Federal Business Opportunities / FBO Home Page. See also, Section 00100 of the Solicitation.

Additionally, to view and/or download Export Controlled Materials, a company must be certified (via an approved DD Form 2345) by the Joint Certification Program (JCP) administered by the DLA Logistic Information Service (DLIS). This certification establishes that a company is a U.S. or Canadian contractor eligible to receive unclassified technical data that is under the control of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or the Canadian Department of National Defense (DND). Questions about this program or DD Form 2345 should be addressed to U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office, DLA Logistics Information Services (DLIS), Federal Center, 74 Washington Avenue North, Battle Creek, MI 49017-3084. The Joint Certification Office may be contacted by telephone at: 1-(800) 352-3572; or email: jcp-admin@.dla.mil.

Q2. I am trying to access the [export controlled] packages and have a number as assigned on DD Form 2345 but cannot get the packages to open. Our DD 2345 Number is ####### expiration ##/##/2015.

A2. The U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) office reported to this office that once a company is certified with the JCP office (normally 7 to 12 business days), the company should contact FBO to have them add their JCP number to their FBO account. The FBO help desk (Federal Service Desk) reported to this office that companies need to make sure that they are registered and login as a Vendor to FBO. When the Vendor click's to open an export controlled package/document, they should be asked for their MPIN. After entering the MPIN, the export controlled package/document should be viewable/downloadable by Vendors that have gone through the JCP process. If a Vendor still has problems, the Vendor should check to make sure that their CCR registration and MPIN are valid and up-to-date. If problems still persist, the Vendor may call the FBO help desk at 866-606-8220, selection option 2 for FBO issues, and ask for troubleshooting assistance.

Q3. Please help me access the locked documents for solicitation W912J6-15-R-0007.

A3. Reference answers A1 and A2 above. After your firm contact and submits a DD Form 2345 to the Joint Certification Program (JCP) which is administered by the DLA Logistic Information (contact information provided in A1) your firm can send proof of this application and submission via a copy of the email receipt from the JCP or DLA personnel that your certification is in process to manual.llanes.mil@mail.mil and copy to julianne.j.cooper.ctr@mail.mil . Pending receipt of the proof that your application is pednding certification the Contracting Officer may make the locked files directly available to your frim via AMRDEC SAFE. This access will not be granted if your firm does not apply for certification and follow the above mentioned instructions in A1 and A2.

Q9. Refer to bid item 1000 (KNMD112001 Base Bid Minor Construction. What’s included in this item 1000? Does item 1000 have separate items to be priced other than options (option 1 thru 4) or item 1000 is just the sum of option 1 thru 4 (item 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004? AN101 and AN102 indicate the same area for item 1000 (minor construction), 1002 (Option 2) and 1003 (Option 3).

A9. The drawings and specifications for project KNMD112001 clearly note/define which scope and items are to be included in item. Please review the solication. CLINs #1001, #1002, #1003, and #1004 are not included in item #1000. See question #10 and associated response to address last item in this question.

Q10. Refer to bid item 1002 (option 2 mezzanine area 1) and item 1003 (option 3 mezzanine area 2).

What’s the difference between these two options? AN102 points out the same area.

A10. Drawing AN102 notes “Options 2 and 3 For Mechanical Platform see Structural Drawings”.

Structural Drawing S-102 and associated reference other structural drawings address limits of the incrementally partitioned mechanical platform.

Q11. Note in L-101 and L-201 states that “ALL WORK ON THIS SHEET IS DEFINED AS MINOR CONSTRUCTION”. Therefore our assumption is that item 3000 (KNMD112006-base bid minor construction) is just the sum of bid item 3001 (option1) and 3002 (option 2). Correct?

A11. No. Sheets L-101 and L-201 are each to be addressed separately.

Sheet L-101 Note states “Installation of screen soil, Bermuda grass, and temporary irrigation system is defined as repair work. All other work on this sheet is defined as minor construction. So, part of this sheet’s scope and costs will be allocated to CLIN 4000. In addition, the minor construction shown on L- 101 is broken into three allocations, base bid items (CLIN 3000), option 1 items (CLIN 3001) and option 2 items (CLIN 3002). Drawing L-101 notes for each item on the drawing – which allocation it belongs in.

Sheet L-201 has two general notes. One note states “All work on this sheet is defined as minor construction.”. The second note then describes the portions of construction on this sheet that is allocated to the base bid (CLIN 3000), the portions of construction on the sheet which is in option 1 (CLIN 3001) and the portion of construction on the sheetwhich is in optin 2 (CLIN 3002).
