This Amendment clarifies offeror proposal submission details as follows:



PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRES:



The requirement that offerors must use the form provided by the solicitation and submit the completed questionnaire through the reference is being relaxed to include contractor submittal of previously completed past performance reviews (any format) along with their proposal. If the offeror chooses this route, they must include contact information (name, title, company, phone, email) for the reference so we are able to contact them.



BID BONDS:



The bid bond has traditionally been submitted as an original hard copy. While it is perfectly acceptable to submit a hard copy bid bond, we are of the understanding that we can now accept electronically submitted bid bonds per the procedures outlined in FAR 28.101. This means a hard copy is optional, not required, and electronic copy will suffice.



ELECTRONIC PROPOSALS:



Per the solicitation instructions you are authorized and encouraged to use email (instead of hard copy) for submission of your proposal (or revision).



Offers are reminded that it is their responsibility to verify receipt of the electronic proposal (or revision) which must reach the specified email inbox (Alanna_Gardner@nps.gov) before or by the exact due date and time stated on the SF-1442 or most recent Amendment thereto.



EMAIL FILE SIZE LIMITATIONS:



The external email size limit is 10MB per file, and no more than 25MB for the entire email. Emailed proposals can be sent in a succession of emails (identify Solicitation number and indicate Email 1 of 2, 2 of 2, as appropriate) to break up the overall size of attachments if necessary.



NPS SECURE FILE TRANSFER (ACCELLION):



If your files are too large to send via regular email, the National Park Service Secure File Transfer (Accellion) is also available at http://secure.nps.gov/ and it can handle single files up to 2GB.



Offerors can use the National Park Service Secure File Transfer (Accellion) to send files to NPS employees upon invitation. To use this service in response to this solicitation, you must first request an invitation from Alanna_Gardner@nps.gov (via email preferred) providing your name, email address, and subject solicitation number (P16PS02133).



Once invited, you will receive an email with a New Account Invitation. To accept this invitation and register for your National Park Service Secure File Sharing account, click on the link provided in the invitation email. The invitation link is only valid for 168 hours. Beyond this timeframe, please ask Alanna_Gardner@nps.gov to send a new invitation email. You will be prompted to create a login and password as part of the authentication process.



Once you have created an account you will be able to type up a secure email at the secure.nps.gov site. There's a spot for the To/CC/BCC email addresses, a subject line field, a message body area, and attachment button. The attachments and message goes through securely to whoever is on the recipient lines, which should be Alanna_Gardner@nps.gov. This is all available at the site after you login.
