1. In the Synopsis a 2hr response time is mentioned, where do we have to respond to in 2hrs?

2 hours from the location that you check on page 12 of the Solicitation.

2. Do you know if fitness equipment (cardio, strength, selectorized, weights, training accessories) will be included in this requirement as sometimes is under a construction contract?

Fitness equipment would have to be purchased after construction and with different money. So fitness equipment wouldn’t apply to this solicitation.

3. Section 00110 Submission Requirements and Instructions paragraph 2.2.4. states that “offerors lacking Past Performance experience may submit information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement if such information is relevant to this acquisition.” In the case of our company being a newer company and lacking the 6 projects, it is our understanding that we could list projects that the owner performed with his previous employer to make up for the lack of experience as the new company. Is this a correct understanding?

Yes as long as they are key personnel and the experience is relevant.

4. It appears that as of 1050 MDT on 16 APR 13 there were no exhibits posted on FBO for us to fill out. Can the WYNG please provide all the exhibits referenced in the RFP?

Exhibits are now attached.

5. I had noticed that there is a walk through at your Wyoming National Guard project on May 1, 2013 but I did not notice a time for that. We are a boiler rep for Wyoming and we would like to attend, can you please let me know time frames so we can be sure to get out there and attend the walk through?

Please see Section 00100 1.5.1 (Page 14).

6. I just wanted to confirm whether this MATOC includes Design-Build opportunities.

Please see Section 00100 1.1 (Page 13).

Please see page 12 of the solicitation for locations.

8. Reference SF 1442, Block 13A – The proposal due date and time are blank on the SF 1442. Please confirm that the proposal is due on May 17th at 7:00 AM Mountain as listed on the FBO advertisement.

Yes, proposals are due the date and time stated on the FBO advertisement.

9. Are you looking to hire 9 contractor’s total or 9 contractors for each location, Cheyenne and Guernsey?

We will attempt to award to 9 contractors total to cover both locations listed in section 10.

10. With the required 6 past-performance evaluations, if more than 6 come in, are some thrown out?

We will only look at 6 past performances.

11. What happens if no past-performance is submitted?

It is the contractors responsibility to ensure we receive the past performance questionnaires. If no past performance is received we will look in CCASS. If past performance cannot be evaluated, past performance will be rated as neutral.

12. What are the due dates?

Questions are due 10MAY2013 and past performance and proposals are due at 2:00pm on MAY 17th, 2013.

13. Are you looking for a list of subs that we might use in the future or just who we are partnering with?

We need a list, Exhibit B, of the contractors used in your proposals no matter if you partner with them or use them for bids. You are not required to use these subs if awarded a MATOC. The list is for proposal purposes only.

14. Is it more important that we show the dollar threshold or how technical the work was?

They are both relevant.

15. Please clarify the nature and the scope of bid options?

Include all bid options in the base bid on Exhibit E.
