SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been added by full text:

BASIS OF AWARD CHANGE SUMMARY:

The following highlighted languages reflects changes made to the first paragraph of the Basis of award section.

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, based on the following evaluation factors listed in descending order of importance: Company/Project Team Experience; Past Performance; Technical Approach; Key Personnel;

Small Business Participation and Price. All evaluation factors other than Price, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for all non-price factors (Factors 1, 3, 4 and 5) and at least “neutral confidence” for Factor 2. Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price proposal offered.

REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION AND GOVERNMENT RESPONSES

1. For Factor 1 – Company/Project Team Experience, the RFP requests that we submit excerpts from the project specifications as well as PDFs of plans and cross-sections.

Are these items included in the 130 page limitation?

RESPONSE: Yes.

2. Volume II – Factor 5 Small business Participation Plan, it is our understanding that a Small Business Subcontracting Plan is not required as part of the proposal submittal.

Please verify that this is correct.

RESPONSE: Contractors are not required to submit subcontracting plans with their proposal. If the potential awardee is a large business, s subcontracting plan will be required prior to award.

3. As a self-perform contractor, we have a limited need for subcontracted services on this project, and, therefore, a limited opportunity for SB participation. We own the vast majority of equipment required and the amount of materials required for the project is limited. Therefore, we respectfully request that you consider lowering the Total Small Business Participation Goal of 20% of total contract value or realign the goal to be a percentage of subcontracted dollars.

RESPONSE: The Government will not lower the participation goal. The Small Business Participation Goal of 20% is based on the Total Contract Value of the offeror’s proposal. Market research was conducted by means of past history on similar dredging projects to determine a challenging, yet attainable Small Business Participation Goal for this solicitation. The dollar values that are proposed in the Small Business Participation Plan shall be reflected in the Subcontracting Plan.

4. For Factor 6 – Price, the RFP proposal requirement states, “This volume shall consist of all information, required to support proposed prices.” Can you please provide more specifics on what the Government’s expectations are for this requirement i.e. what we should submit as support documentation?

RESPONSE: Offerors are not required to submit any supporting information for their proposed prices. If the offeror does chose to provide supporting information, the information shall be placed in Volume II. Volume I shall not contain price information.

5. Paragraph A, Basis of Award. Please confirm that the offeror must receive an Acceptable rating for all non-price factors (Factors 1, 3, 4, and 5 versus Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4).

RESPONSE: Please see Basis of Award Change Summary.

6. We did not see a due date for clarifying questions on the RFP, can you please provide one?

RESPONSE: We request that all Requests for Information be submitted within 10 days for the date that proposals are due.

7. In the Note Block on Sheet C-101 of the plans it states that the “Contractor shall use the electronic data supplied by GOV (target elevations, bathymetric survey, and dredge area AutoCAD files) for its dredge plan preparation.” Those files are not provided in the Solicitation #1. Can you please provide those files?

RESPONSE: All electronic data was posted on FBO as part of Amendment 0001.
