About this file

This is Amendment 0002 to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for solicitation W912WJ26RA007, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District on January 12, 2026. The amendment provides government responses to 18 Requests for Information (RFIs) submitted by potential offerors. The solicitation concerns an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) design-bid-build contract with evaluation based on a sample task order. The contracting officer is Elizabeth Glasgow, W2SD ENDIST New England KO Contracting Division, Concord, Massachusetts.

Key clarifications from government responses include: Project Manager professional registration (PE or RA) is mandatory and will not be waived; bid bonds are required only for task orders, not IDIQ submissions; DFARS clause 252.215-7009 applies only to task orders requiring certified cost or pricing data; Davis Bacon wage determinations are available at https://sam.gov/wage-determination/MA20250001/15; the sample task order will not be awarded and is for evaluation purposes only; projects must be 100% complete to meet recency requirements for past performance; a Certificate of Corporate Authority format and Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) form have been provided as attachments; an Excel spreadsheet for pricing breakdown (Attachment_A_Prime_Binding_Rates_Excel_Sheet) was posted to the PIEE Solicitation Module; and offerors should either submit representations and certifications with their proposal or ensure completion in their SAM.gov record. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Section 00 00 00 - Procurement and Contracting Requirements

The following changes have been made:

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Amendment 0002 RFls

W912WJ26RA0070002

1. Section 6.1, page 44, of the solicitation indicates a requirement for the Project Manager to hold a professional registration (Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA)). Given that this is a design-bid-build contract and design responsibility remains with the Government or its A/E partners, would the Government consider removing this requirement or consider a modification to permit substitution of relevant construction management experience in lieu of PE /RA registration and/or a formal degree?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The requirement will not be waived. The Government requires highly qualified Project Managers to ensure successful delivery of quality projects.

2.The SF1442 indicates that a bid bond is not required. However, clause 52.228-1 Bid Guarantee on page 6 of the RFP indicates a bid guarantee in the amount of 20 percent of the bid price or $3 Million.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Bid bonds are only required for Task Orders. A bid bond is not required for the IDIQ proposal submission. Per page 5 if the solicitation, "Performance and Payment Bonds ARE NOT required for the IDIQ submission. They will be required for task orders in accordance with 52.228-15 Performance and Payment Bonds-- Construction OCT 2010.

Original Bid Guarantees (Bid Bonds) in accordance with FAR 52.228-1 must be received by the Contracting Specialist on or before the proposal due date and time for submission."

3. This solicitation includes the DFARS clause 252.215-7009 Proposal Adequacy Checklist (page 7); however, there is no requirement for certified cost or pricing data, especially for a sample project that will not be awarded. We request that this clause be removed or made to apply only when required on individual task orders.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The clause would only apply to Task Orders where certified cost or pricing data is required.

W912WJ26RA0070002

4. Is there an interior finish plan and elevations that I would be able to send subcontractors for Division 10 costs for accurate pricing?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: All materials developed for the design of the sample task order have been included in the solicitation.

5. Page 1 of SF1442 section 13b. checks off that an offer guarantee is not required but on Page 5 of the Solicitation Package under IDIQ Information states that an Original Bid Guarantees (Bid Bonds) are to be submitted on or before the submission deadline. Please confirm if a Bid Bond for the Sample Task Order is required?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See response to Amendment 0002, RFI #2.

6. Attachment C Page 7 Section 8.1 Past Performance / Questionnaires can the government provide the PPQ form referenced as Attachment A?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See Amendment 0002_Attachment 1_PPQ

7. Please confirm if the government would accept a project that is nearly completed at 95% or more to be submitted and used as a reference for Past Performance?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Projects that are not 100% complete at the time of the original solicitation date do not meet the recency requirement as specified in the solicitation.

8. Please confirm if the Sample Task Order will be awarded?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: No, the sample task order is for evaluation purposes only.

9. Please confirm if there are any Davis Bacon Wages that offers should be utilizing for Task Order price?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Per page 14 of the solicitation, "For the purpose of the Sample Task Order the wage determination can be found at: https://sam.gov/wage-determination

/MA20250001/15".

W912WJ26RA0070002

10. Attachment C Page 9 Section 9.1.1 PRICES bullet #3 states that the offer shall submit a Sample Task Order Price Proposal Breakdown. Does the government have an EXCEL breakout file that they would like offers to use for submission?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The Excel spreadsheet was posted with the solicitation to the PIEE Solicitation Module as Attachement_A_Prime_Binding_Rates_Excel_Sheet.

11. The RFP states the start date of the seed project is April 1, 2026. What is the expected completion date/time? Please Advise.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See Amendment 0001, RFI #8.

12. Section 00 21 00 - Instructions includes FAR 52228-1 - Bid Guarantee; however, Attachment C - Evaluation of Offers does not require submission of a bid guarantee. Can you please clarify whether or not a bid guarantee is required?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See response to Amendment 0002, RFI #2.

13. If a bid guarantee is required, is it acceptable to include it at the end of Volume II?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See response to Amendment 0002, RFI #2.

14. Attachment C - Evaluation of Offers requires us to provide a Certificate of Corporate Authority. Can you please provide a format for this requirement?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See Amendment 0002_Attachment 2_Certificate of Corporate Authority.

15. Are we required to complete and submit Section 00 45 00 - Representations and Certifications with our proposal?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Offerers should either submit a copy with its proposal or ensure it is fully completed in its SAM.gov record.

16. Will the Sample Project be awarded?

17. Can you please provide a sample Price Proposal Breakdown?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See Amendment 0002, RFI #10.

W912WJ26RA0070002

18. Per W912WJ26RA007_Solication, Page 44,: the PM is required to have Professional registration (Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA)). This is a strict requirement for a PM. PEs and RAs typically are provided by the design firm/designer of record, or as Subject Matter Experts, not PMs. Are we allowed to substitute years of experience for professional registrations?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See Amendment 0001, RFI #3.
