RFI 046

Question: Do you require full SF 330 qualifications package for the AE that is a team member for this MATOC or only resumes and a two relevant project descriptions that are in SF 330 format? The information normally contained in a complete SF 330 is not necessarily relevant to this procurement (20+ resumes, 10 projects, Section H Additional Information, etc.) and additional information required for Section H of the SF330 is not provided in the solicitation. Also, there is not a listing of required AE disciplines to develop the Part D organization chart or Section E Key Personnel resumes.Please clarify what the Maine ARNG requires to meet this requirement.

Answer: AS stated in section 2.2.2.2 : "AE(s) for Design Build shall provide a SF 330.". I believe there is enough information on the type of projects we are looking at performing and disciplines required on FBO.gov "List of Task Orders Awarded under Current MATOC" and in the actual solicitation to provide a complete SF 330. The intent is to evaluate the AE services being offered not for a specific project.

Question: Amended Exhibit C now includes the following line on the first page. "You are encouraged to send a questionnaire to other clients of contracts listed in your “List of 10 other projects”. Please indicate if we are being instructed to send past performance questionnaires to an additional 10 clients of contracts. Also please clarify as to where in our proposal we are to include the "List of 10 other projects".

Answer: Thank You; this somehow got inserted from an old document when amendment 002 updated Exhibit C. This line should not be included and I will update Exhibit C again in amendment 004. Also in amendment 004 the date of 30 Nov 10 is changed to 10 Dec 10 on Exhibit C.
