Amendment 1
140R4025R0017 Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility Yard Piping and Flow Measurement Upgrade- Phase One
Question and Answer
1. Will existing site plans, as-built drawings, SCADA diagrams, and system specifications for the SW, PW, and CW systems be provided to assist in preparing Phase One submission, alongside clarification on the design deliverables/extent of design responsibility.

Pursuant to FAR 36.303-1, Phase One evaluations are strictly limited to evaluating an offeror's technical qualifications and high-level technical approach. Detailed design or specific technical proposals are excluded from this phase. Therefore, the requested existing site data, utility layouts, SCADA diagrams, and detailed system information will not be released during Phase One. The Government will provide comprehensive site data, reference drawings, and applicable technical specifications exclusively to the shortlisted offerors selected to advance to Phase Two. Offerors are advised to base their Phase One submissions on the high-level project scope and objectives outlined in the current Phase One Request for Proposals (RFP).
The successful Phase Two contractor will be required to submit standard design-build deliverables (e.g., 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% Issued-for-Construction drawings and specifications), which will be fully detailed in the Phase Two RFP. The site-visit will be conducted in Phase Two.
The last day to submit questions for Phase One is Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Phase One Qualifications are due Friday, November 6, 2026, at 4:00PM MST.
