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 ##/##/2018.

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 W912J6-17-R-0002.

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 russell.s.redila.mil@mail.mil . Pending receipt of the proof that your application is pending 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.

Q4. We cannot download the specification and drawing documents for the subject bid with MPIN. Is there any way we can get the export controlled documents except applying JCP certification?

A4. See Item A3 Above.

Q5. Specification Section 07 53 23 section 2.1.1 EPDM Sheet is calling for a 90 Mil Reinforced EPDM Membrane. However No manufacturer produces reinforced EPDM membrane in White to meet the SRI value, they only produce a 115 Mil reinforced Fleeceback EPDM Membrane in white that will meet the SRI value as specified. Can we use a Carlisle 115 Mil reinforced Fleeceback EPDM?

A5.Offerors need to ensure they continue reading section 2.1.1 and note, 0.090 inch nominal thickness is referred to as a “minimum thickness”. Roofing systems complying to all requirements of the specification(s) including the achievement of a minimum EPDM thickness of 0.090 inch are acceptable.

Q6. My question concerns past-performance questionnaires (PPQs) as provided in Exhibit C. We have requested references for the three project we intend to submit using the US Navy/USACE forms. These were sent to us for inclusion in recent proposals. Would the Government please consider allowing us to use these completed PPQs and send them to you, in lieu of requesting our clients complete another past performance questionnaire form?

A6. Yes the Government will allow use of these completed PPQs. They should be sent from the client directly to the Contracting Officer if at all possible.

Q7. General Note No.5 on sheet S-001 refers to Geolabs Inc. geotechnical report dated April 01, 2016.

Please provide the abovementioned report to all bidders to make them familiar with the existing soil condition.

Do you still require this to be striped if bid option #7 is not awarded?

A8. Yes this will still be required to be striped if bid option #7 is not awarded.

Q9. Sheet DT505 specifies a concrete Oil/Water separator and detail 4/DT509 specifies a steel body Oil/Water separator. Is there a particular manufacturer specified for these tanks? How many gallon capacity for each of these tanks?

Q11. We are requesting the addition of “PDQ Manufacturing” as an approved alternate manufacturer to that listed in the door schedule, and under section 08 71 00 of the specification for the following products when applicable to your project; 1) Mortis Locks, 2) Cylindrical Locks, 3) Door Closers, 4) Panic Devices with Trim.

Per FAR 36 2.02 Specifications, 11.103 Market acceptance paragraphs (a), (1), (i), (ii), (iii), (5) and

11.104 Use of brand name or equal purchase descriptions. We offer the following justification for review; test data, the material used, and certifications for the addition of PDQ Manufacturing. PDQ Manufacturing has also met all product testing, materials used, and certifications required by the UFGS and the FAR.

11.103 (a), (1), (i) - Achieved commercial acceptance

PDQ Manufacturing is a member of BHMA, the governing body for commercial contract hardware products standards and specifications. PDQ has an onsite BHMA/InterTech® certified testing laboratory to meet the requirement of recertification of all products every three years. PDQ is an architecturally specified manufacturer for many commercial projects each year.

(a), (1), (ii) - Been satisfactorily supplied to an agency under current or recent contracts

PDQ Manufacturing has supplied many projects

(a), (2) - Otherwise meet the item description, specifications, or other criteria prescribed in the public notice and solicitation.

PDQ Manufacturing meets all salient physical, functional, and performance characteristics of the brand listed, and as required by the Unified Facility Guide specifications, BHMA standards, ANSI and UL testing.

A11. PDQ is acceptable provided products comply with all specification requirements

Q12. While at the site during the pre-proposal conference, we noticed concrete duct banks being installed crossing Circle Avenue and Earl's Alley and new telecommunication manholes on both sides of Earl's alley. The conduits crossing Circle Alley appear to be terminated with risers up one of the power poles scheduled to be demolished by HELCO per CD010 and ES102. None of this new work is shown on ES102. Any new conduits crossing these recently poured ductbanks will probably need to be routed underneath to get the required cover. Can the telecom for project W912J6-17-R-0002 be routed through these recently installed conduits and manholes or must additional ductbanks and handholes be installed?

A12. Bid communication ductbank as shown on the plans. Further evaluation of the use of existing ductbank will be done during the construction phase.
