Will the Government allow any of the three Past Performances chosen come from a significant subcontractor's list of relevant experience also undertaken within the past five years?
Answer: Yes
•2. Can FRA please clarify the requirement under L.10 (PROPOSAL CONTENT), Section 2 (g) to provide a statement as to any current or potential conflicts of interest. Is this requirement specific to past or current contracts that involve the contractor's involvement in the development of a PTCSP for the 42 specific railroads? Should the contractor include a matrix of the 42 entities for which Safety Plans are required?
Answer: Yes, a matrix would be an acceptable method to identify conflicts of interest. An organization may not have current or historical contract(s) relating to a railroad's PTC project in order to provide support for the PTCSP review for that railroad.
