RFI 1: Do we need to submit any ISRs (Individual Subcontract Reports) that are mentioned on page 5 last paragraph at bottom. I combed through the announcement again and could find no requirement to provide this other than the reference on page 5.



RFI 1 RESPONSE: No.



RFI 2: The RFP (top of page 7) states for key personnel resumes: cite a minimum of 2 recent (within the past 5 years) project-specific experience in work relevant to the services required under this contract; and indicate proposed role in this contract.

Is it acceptable to submit projects older than 5 years once the minimum of 2 within 5 years above has been satisfied without penalty?



RFI 2 RESPONSE: No projects will be accepted outside the relevant and recent definitions in the synopsis.



RFI 3: Will you require full copies of executed teaming agreements and if so how should they be transmitted (along with the SF 330 submission as a separate event?). How should teaming agreement relationships be treated within the SF330 - in the introduction or the proposed team in tabular form?



RFI 3 RESPONSE: Full copies are required and should be submitted with the SF330. Should be discussed in both areas as appropriate.



RFI 4: In the proposed team in tabular form should percentage of time committed to the team reflect work share in teaming agreements or working with the current teaming solution on other projects or time with their company? Can you clarify the desired statistic for this request?



RFI 4 RESPONSE: You will need to define how the proposed team will work on our projects.





RFI 5: Should the company tabular data from page 11 be presented in Section E?



RFI 5 RESPONSE: Section H.



RFI 6: Page 5: Introductions shall be included in Sections E and F. Please include your DUNS, CAGE, and TIN numbers in Block 30 of the SF-330. Is there a specific format for this input?



RFI 6 RESPONSE: No.



RFI 7: What is the current version of the SF330?



RFI 7 RESPONSE: Version dated 3/2013.



RFI 8: Page 7, Criterion 2 – Specialized Experience (SF330, Part I, Section F). Provide a minimum of 3 and maximum of 5 projects. Is it possible to reconsider the number of Section F’s? Typically, ten Section F’s are provided. The quantity requested in the solicitation limits the ability to demonstrate the breadth of the experiences as a team.

In particular, the G matrix will be difficult to show the team’s experience with each other.



RFI 8 RESPONSE: No. Maximum is 5 projects.



RFI 9: Eight items are listed as example of experience to be shown using the Section Fs. Is there a priority to this list of items?



RFI 9 RESPONSE: No.

RFI 1: Is this a follow-on requirement? If so, could you please provide the incumbent contract number for this opportunity?



RFI 1 RESPONSE: This is not a follow-on requirement.



RFI 2: Can the dollar threshold for Sample Projects be increased?



RFI 2 RESPONSE: Yes, project maximum size for evaluation purposes is increased from $300K to $1M.



RFI 3: Do we need to show proof of Landscape Architecture license and registration to conduct this type of business? The solicitation only states architecture or engineering.



RFI 3 RESPONSE: No.



RFI 4: Under the scenario where a base Task Order was modified and additional services were added...can the base task order be counted as a sample project without the modification? Along the same line...can a modification to a Task order be considered as a project? We are asking this because the fee for the base Task Order with the modification exceeds the $300k limit for sample projects.



RFI 4 RESPONSE: The task order as a whole is considered a “project†and must be between $50K and $1M.





RFI 5: On Page 11 of the Solicitation under Section D there is this statement, Note that all individuals listed in the organization chart are not required to have a resume, only those key personnel and disciplines listed in Evaluation Factor 2. Should this not say Evaluation Factor 1?



RFI 5 RESPONSE: Yes, changed.



RFI 6: We do not see safety ratings (EMR, DART, etc) as a requirement within the solicitation. Do we need to provide these with our response? For prime and subs or just prime?



RFI 6 RESPONSE: The Government will not evaluate safety for this synopsis. No EMR or DART is required.



RFI 7: Can a firm be a prime on one team and be a subcontractor on another team?



RFI 7 RESPONSE: Yes.
