Certified HUBZone Small Business Concerns, Small Business Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and Women Owned Small Businesses Concerns providing 2 or more qualified contractors in each category present conforming offers and are awarded a MATOC.

ADDENDUM #3

MATOC – W912PQ-15-R-0006

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

*** NOTE – THERE WAS A MAIL CONVERSION AT THE 109TH – THE NEW 109TH

BOX ADDRESS IS: usaf.ny.109-aw.mbx.msg-msc@mail.mil

Q.1. Seed Project Bldg. 1 – Specification section 012900, 1.1.D indicates the use of “CAPI” for invoicing. Please advise as to what CAPI is.

A.1: A CAPI is a form we use for Construction Payments and it would be used only when a task order is awarded and after performing services on a Task Order

– it has absolutely bearing on the MATOC award.

Q.2: Seed Project Bldg. 1 - Specification section 013300, 1.3.A.1/2 and 1.3.E.7.A indicate the use of an internet based web site submittal software program such as Newforma of Submittal Exchange. Please confirm that this type of system is required and will be utilized by the Gov’t, A&E, and Contractor.

A.2: The use of a software system for submittals has absolutely bearing on the MATOC award. Systems for submittal exchanges may be used after a task order is awarded. All submittals can be filed through e-mail with the AF Form 3000 (after a task order is awarded).

Q.3. Seed Project Bldg 1 – Numerous specification sections indicate the requirement for LEED compliant products, however, a specification for LEED/Sustainable Design is absent from Division 01 of the specifications. Please confirm whether or not the Seed Project is LEED compliant, and if so, please provide a Div 01 specification accordingly.

A.3: Building 1 will not be LEED certified; however we are encouraging the firm selected for this project, to obtain as many points as possible.

Q.4: Drawing C-200 directs you to "SEE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS FOR WALL AND STAIR DESIGN". The architectural drawings do not contain this information. Structural drawings indicate stairs are to be precast, but no other information is provided. Please provide.

A.4. Drawing C-600 , Detail 7 shows details for the stairs with rebar placement.

Q.5. Is there a detailed description of each scope of work including each CLIN and what is to be included in each task order item number on the MATOC Proposal Form included in the Notice of Proposed Task Order Proposal?

A.5. There are two sets of CLINS – the first set of CLINS found on the MATOC.

CLINS listed on pages 3 – 8 (0001 – 3003 of the RFP) – DO NOT ENTER PRICES IN THESE CLINS – they are for the Contracting Office’s use ONLY and will be used to award task orders subsequent to the Contract awards being made.

Exhibit E is the ONLY place you will enter pricing for the MATOC.

Exhibit E contains the 5 Line Items applicable to Bldg. 1, that ALL interested firms MUST price.

REQUIREMENTS SHALL GOVERN.

1.01 SCOPE)

a. The Contractor will be held responsible for all requirements described in the contract documents and Task Order documents and all work including that of his Sub-contractor, if any, shall be done in accordance with the contract documents and/or Task Order documents. Failure to familiarize himself with their requirements will not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to comply.

b. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement of the drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among Sub-contractors or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.

1.02 WORK SCHEDULING:

a. Normal base work hours for the Contractor will be between the hours of 7:00 AM through 4:30 PM; excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. If the Contractor desires to work during periods other than above, he must notify the Contracting Officer three (3) working days in advance of his intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces and for notification of fire, security and safety. When the Contracting Officer determines that they are reasonably available, he may authorize the Contractor to perform work during periods other than normal duty hours/days. However, if inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty hours/days solely for the benefit of the Contractor, the actual cost of the inspection, at overtime rates, will be charged to the Contractor and will be deducted from the final payment of the Contract amount. (Note: If applicable, at time of award this paragraph will be modified to the negotiated schedule for this project).

When relocating to new sites, returning to sites for follow-up work on a phased work plan, notification to the Contracting Officer’s Representative is sufficient. Notification should be by personal contact; however, advance notification may be by telephone, or in writing, and should be accomplished sufficiently in advance to allow scheduling of inspection forces. The purpose of the above precautions is to ensure construction inspection and recording of work proceedings.

e. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement of the drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among Sub-contractors or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.
