W912P826RA0070002

1. Will there be a pre-proposal or pre-bid meeting? If so, please provide the date, time, and meeting link.

No.

2. In Section L, Proposal Submission, Subsection 2.A.b, the solicitation requires that the Prime Contractor shall have employed at least eight (8) of the proposed QAR III's within the last 10 years. Our recruiting services are able to successfully recruit and hire these roles rapidly, but they will not have worked for us in the past. Would the Government consider removing the requirement for at least eight QAR III's to have worked for the Prime in the past?

3. On page 106 of the Solicitation document, item D. Volume IV requires the following documents:

Section A Standard form 33 Section K- Representations, Certification and other Statements of OƯerors Can you please provide or let us know where to access these?

Section A – “Standard Form 33” has been revised via this amendment to stated “Standard form 1449”, which is page 1 of the solicitation.

4. Will a separate and full scope of work or Performance Work Statement (PWS)/Statement of Work (SOW) in Section C, for specific projects, tasks, or locations where services will be performed (e.g., within the New Orleans District or elsewhere) be issued?

No. Reference Section C, paragraph C.1.3 Authorization and Performance of Work.

5. What does "FTR" stand for as a unit (e.g., in additional mileage or per diem lodging)? Is it "flat rate," "per trip," or something else, and how should it be interpreted for pricing?

Federal Travel Regulations. It’s the flat rate determined by the GSA. No pricing submission required.

6. For per diem items (lodging and meals), should rates be based on the current GSA per diem rates for the performance location(s), and will they be adjusted annually per FAR 52.222-43 or similar clauses?

The CLIN for per diem lodging does not require an estimated amount.

The CLIN for per diem meals is not required to be based on the GSA rates.

As no estimate is required for the per diem lodging CLIN, no contractual adjustments will be necessary.

7. What are the detailed qualification requirements for key personnel categories (e.g., QAR II, QAR III, QAR V, Certified Welding Inspector, NACE Coating Inspector)? Are specific certifications, years of experience, or education levels required beyond what's implied in the schedule?

Reference Section C, paragraphs C.3.1 Personnel Requirements and C.4.1.d Field Personnel.

8. How should the price proposal be structured?

Should oƯerors fill in unit prices on the provided schedule for all line items (including straight time, overtime, and Sunday/double time), Reference PROPOSAL SUBMISSION (Section L), Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders, VOLUME II – Cost/Price beginning on page 105.

and will the evaluated price be based on estimated quantities times unit prices, including options?

Reference Evaluation Factors for Award (Section M), Volume III: Cost/Price

9. What are the specific evaluation subfactors under Technical Capability and Past Performance, and what is their relative importance? For example, are resumes, management plans, or subcontractor qualifications weighted?

This procurement is a Best Value - Lowest Price Technical Acceptable procurement, not a Best Value – Trade OƯ procurement. Reference Evaluation Factors for Award (Section M).

10. How will Past Performance be evaluated? How many references should be provided, what forms (e.g., CPARS or questionnaires), and will relevance to similar USACE construction QA/testing work be considered?

11. Are there page limits, font requirements, or specific volume structures for the proposal (e.g., Volume 1: Technical, Volume 2: Price, Volume 3: Past Performance)? The instructions mention a Table of Contents and Summary, but clarification on overall limits would help.

Reference PROPOSAL SUBMISSION (Section L), Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders.

12. How will answers to submitted questions be distributed (e.g., via amendment on SAM.gov)?

Answers to submitted questions will be posted via AM0002 on SAM.gov.

13. For electronic submission, is there a file size limit, required format (e.g., PDF with searchable text), or portal (e.g., PIEE or email only to evan.g.woitha@usace.army.mil)?

Electronic submission should be made in PDF for all volumes other than Volume III: Price.

This requirement is a 100% Total Small Business Set-aside.

17. For lab testing items (e.g., ASTM standards for soils and concrete), are there specific accreditation requirements for the oƯeror's lab, or can third-party labs be used?

19. On page 5 of SECTION C DESCRIPTION/ SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK of the Solicitation Package, under item C.3.1.2 Specific Qualifications, the table lists 15 positions. While on page 103 of the Solicitation Package, under A. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION (Section L) Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders, item b.

StaƯing Plan and Qualifications notes that there should be a minimum of 15 QARs, and five (5) additional resumes for the disciplines listed. Between the two lists there is overlap but there are also positions that only appear in one place vs. both. Please clarify how many resumes should be included in the OƯeror's proposal and for which positions.

Provide the personnel information requested in PROPOSAL SUBMISSION (Section L), Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders.

20. As a follow up question, should the OƯeror provide full resumes or just the information listed under b. StaƯing Plan and StaƯ Qualifications?

Project does not need to be completed at the time of submission.

22. As a follow up question, can the procurement team clarify if the $1M is the contract (OƯerors Fee) or construction value (Project Value)?

Contract Value.

23. On the Past Performance Questionnaire, please note that between pages 4 and 5, questions #13 and #14 are missing, and the last question is not labeled, thinking that it should be question #20. Can an updated PPQ be released prior to the release of all responses to the questions, so that the OƯerors can send it to our clients in a timely manner?

Apologies for the outdated PPQ. The correct fillable USACE PPQ template has been uploaded to SAM.gov for your use.
