REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGISTER

Question Regarding proposal preparation and submission: the solicitation doesn’t appear to include the necessary Exhibits required for past performance (I.e. Exhibits A-E). Please post the required exhibit forms.

Answer The Exhibits were uploaded to FBO.

Question Regarding Air National Guard equipment, furniture, or other items in the building: will the Government move all items not scheduled on the drawings prior to the start of work? Will the Gov’t move all items into temporary admin spaces provided by the contractor under spec section 015000? Please confirm.

Answer The Government will remove all items not scheduled on the drawings prior to the start of work.

Question Section 014500.0010, Quality Control: Paragraph 3.4.2 indicates that the CQC Manager may also be the Site Superintendent, however, in the solicitation, page 24, 3.4.3.12, the language clearly identifies key personnel as including a Quality Control Manager and Site Superintendent. On a project of this size and complexity, it is beneficial to have both duties separate and the added layer of oversight is beneficial to both the Contractor and the Government. Please confirm that the Quality Control Manager must be a separate individual from the Site Superintendent.

Question Solicitation section 00120 outlines the proposal evaluation criteria and basis for award. From this information it is clear that Volume 2, Part 1 Subfactors 1 and 2 are rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”.

if Part 1 is rated “Acceptable” the price is evaluated. As stated in 00120,2.2.1, if the price is reasonable and realistic Volume 2, Part 2 for the lowest priced proposal is evaluated starting with the lowest reasonable/realistic price proposal. If Part 2 for the low price proposal is rated “Substantial Confidence” the award will be made. If Part 2 for the lowest price is not rated “Substantial Confidence” then Part 2 for the next lowest priced proposal is evaluated and this continues until a proposal is rated “Substantial Confidence” allowing for an award. According to paragraph 2.2.1 if no proposals are rated “Substantial Confidence” then the SSA will make a best value assessment using the tradeoff process described in FAR 15.101-1. The FAR states in part that “When using a tradeoff process, the following apply: (1) All evaluation factors and significant subfactors that will affect contract award and their relative importance shall be clearly stated in the solicitation. The solicitation is unclear what selection criteria will be utilized if no proposals are rated “Substantial Confidence” and the tradeoff process is utilized. How will the best value determination be made for the proposal selected for award under the tradeoff process scenario?
