SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form

The following changes have been made:

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified from:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION:

Question 1: Section C I.5.d says the Contractor shall employ a Level 3 SSHO, and C I.6 requires the Contractor's Project Manager and QC personnel at the pre-construction conference. If we team with a local subcontractor under a signed teaming arrangement, may the subcontractor's on-site foreman be designated as the SSHO on ENG Form 6282 and serve as on-site QC, with our Project Manager attending the pre-construction conference? Or must the SSHO be on the prime contractor's payroll?

Response 1: Reference the Statement of Work. The Project Manager and Quality Control Personnel shall have the authority to act of behalf of the Contractor. A subcontractor would need to meet the requirements of these positions and accept the designation. The subcontractor would also have to have the authority to act on behalf of the prime Contractor. The prime Contractor is responsible for overseeing all work and coordination with the Government.

Question 2: Section I requires commencement within 21 days of notice to proceed, while Section C allows submission of preconstruction documents within 21 days, up to 21 days for government review, and prohibits fieldwork before acceptance and the preconstruction conference. Does submission/procurement activity satisfy commencement while fieldwork awaits approval?

Response 2: Provision of submittals is considered commencement of work. Submittals are required to be provided within 21 calendar days of Notice to Proceed. Fieldwork shall not commence prior to the acceptance/approval of submittals.

Question 3: Please confirm whether the specified 8-by-8 posts and 4-by-10 rails are nominal or actual dimensions, and whether a minimum post-hole diameter or approved installation detail applies beyond the stated 3-foot embedment, compacted dense-grade fill and 6-foot spacing.

W912WJ27QA0030002

Response 3: Dimensions are nominal. Minimum diameter of holes for posts shall be 24 inches.

Question 4: Figures 1-5 show retained stumps/rocks and a utility pole. If field verification identifies an obstruction at a required post location, may the alignment or post spacing be adjusted with written government approval, or is removal/drilling at the specified location required?

Response 4: Yes, if there are any obstructions that impact the viability of post installation at a required location, the Contractor can request to install the post in a different alignment/spacing to be approved by the Technical Point of Contact. Only alternations approved in writing by the Technical Point of Contact are considered. All other work shall be completed in accordance with the Statement of Work.

Question 5: The RFQ incorporates DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020. Will performance require handling covered defense information or use of a covered contractor information system, and what assessment evidence, if any, is required before award for this specific work?

Response 5: Covered defense information is not included in this solicitation. Federal contract information is. A covered contractor information system is any computer or IT system owned or operated by a Government Contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal Contract Information. No assessment is required.

Question 6: Material Quantities: Could you please provide the estimated quantities of wooden posts, rails, and associated hardware required for the approximately 250 linear feet of guardrail installation?

Response 6: Material quantities will not be provided. The vendor/Contractor is responsible for determination of material quantities required and field verification of all measurements prior to commencement of work.

Question 7: Site Visit: Would it be possible to arrange a site visit to review the existing conditions and better understand the installation requirements?

Response 7: Instructions for requesting site visits are included in the solicitation.
