2. The page limit for Factor B – Past Performance specified in sub-paragraph 4.2 under the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 has been changed to “No Page Limit.”

3. To provide answers to below questions.

i. Question 1: What is the degree of QC related to QCM have? (in PWS, 7.1.5.1)

Response: Engineering License (기사) or Educational degree in Science or

ii. Question 2: What QC programs should QCM have? (in PWS, 7.1.5.2)

Response: QCM shall have experiences in establishment and implementation of a Quality Control Program and QC performance monitoring and evaluation to ensure quality performance on similar projects.

iii. Question 3: What is the difference among SSHO, QP, and CP?

Response: SSHO is the superintendent or other QP/CP who is responsible for on-site safety and health.

The Contractor shall employ a minimum of one CP at each project site to function as the SSHO (primary), depending on job complexity, size, and any other pertinent factors.

So there should be one or several SSHOs working as a CP or/and QP depending on degree of hazard and probability of risk.

• Competent Person: one who can identify existing and predictable hazards in the working environment or working conditions that are dangerous to personnel and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them

• Qualified person: one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated his/her ability to solve or resolve problems related to the subject matter, the work, or the project.

➢ Examples of Competent/Qualified Personnel

• Excavation

• Scaffolding

• First Aid/CPR

• Electrical

• Confined Space

iv. Question 4: Can Key Personnel be replaced by QP/CP instead of SSHO?

Response: See above response to Question 3. We need one designated SSHO as a purpose of proposal evaluation.

v. Question 5: Should QP/CP receive 30 hours of OSHA training as well as SSHO?

Response: SSHO=QP and/or CP. SSHO shall have 30 hours of OSHA training.

vi. Question 6: In accordance with 4.2-page limitation on page 49 of 61, Factor-B-Past Performance is limited to 20 pages, and Attachment C – Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) consists of 4 pages. Does it mean that the offeror can submit a maximum of 5 projects for Factor-B-Past Performance?
