QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1) Question: Regarding Solicitation Number W912P818R0058, on Page 276 of the solicitation, am I correct in assuming that complete copies of previous work (i.e. reports) are required and not project summary descriptions?

2. History of previous work of a similar nature. Provide examples of two of each of the following in .pdf format on CD:

* Literature and records search

* Research design development

* Cultural Resource Reconnaissance, Phase I surveys, and Phase II testing projects

* Phase III data recovery (mitigation) projects (prehistoric, historic, terrestrial and underwater)

Answer: We do wish to see examples of the bulleted items as they appear in a Report, and not only a summary description of work that has included the bulleted items.

2) Question: In reference to the subject line RFP, I have a question on what the key personnel are? There are 16 required personnel listed in the solicitation; do we need to provide resumes for each of the listed personnel?

Answer: Yes, they should provide a resume for the lead person who fills each of those key positions.

3) Question: In section B, is the unit something like hour, day, page, etc.? If that is correct, are we supposed to add up the unit price for 1 unit to come up with our totals and grand totals? If so, is the maximum amount the

7.5 million divided by 5 years (1.5 million a year)?

Answer: Offerors are not required to fill in this section as this will be five-year contract with a ceiling price of $7,500,000 per contract issued. Please complete the Price Schedule with rates for each year.

4) Question: In section K, page 264 - I am not familiar with most of the items. Would you explain this part to me?

Answer: 52.212-5 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT STATUTES OR EXECUTIVE ORDERS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (AUG 2018) are additional clauses incorporated by reference and some are only applicable if checked, otherwise not applicable as the clause states. Please refer to the Federal Acquisition Regulations at www.farsite.gov for additional information and applicability.

5) Question: In section L, page 274 - is the unique identifier our DUNS number?

Answer: Yes

6) Question: In section M, page 276 – do you want a cd copy of our history of previous work in addition to the ones included in our printed proposal?

Answer: Yes

7) Question: Price Schedule-for items on the pricing schedule that cannot be estimated at this time such as Travel, do we carry over a value of “0” to come up with the TRAVEL SUBTOTAL?

Answer: Entering "TBN" (To Be Negotiated) or "TBD" (To Be Determined) is acceptable for any prices that absolutely cannot be estimated at this time. If selected, Contractor and Government will negotiate or agree on this price either before Contract Award or it will be determined during contract negotiations as to whether the item can be negotiated before the issuance of each Task Order Award.

8) Question: Price Schedule-to calculate the TOTAL, do we assume “1” for each unit for both labor categories and Special Procedures?

Answer: Entering "TBN" (To Be Negotiated) or "TBD" (To Be Determined) is acceptable for any prices that absolutely cannot be estimated at this time. If selected, Contractor and Government will negotiate or agree on this price either before Contract Award or it will be determined during contract negotiations as to whether the item can be negotiated before the issuance of each Task Order Award.

9) Question: Front pages of the submittal- are we to enter the Grand Totals per year (base and options) years in CLIN0001-0005 respectively.

Answer: No entry required by the Offeror. Price Schedule should be completed.

10) Question: Is the bid-opening public and/or will it be streamed.

Answer: There will not be a public bid opening. This is a Request for Proposal not an IFB, Invitation for Bids.

11) Question: If a project example provided has a deliverable that is other than PDF (i.e. geo database), can it be included on CD?

Answer: Format deemed most appropriate to demonstrate that this ability can be met, is acceptable.

12) Question: Is there a page limit to the response?

Answer: No page limit required

13) Question: Are there any formatting requirements for the hard copy response?

Answer: No formatting requirements exist.
