Instructions to Offerors,
Sec. H (p. 144)
The proposal submission instructions direct offerors to use the email subject line "36C78625R50104_Company Name." That solicitation number differs from 36C78626R50120 shown in Block 5 of the SF 1449. Please confirm the correct subject line format for proposal submission.
Answer:
Amendment 0006 revises Instructions to Offerors to state the correct solicitation number: 36C78626R50120
FAR 52.212-2, Factor 1
(pp. 145-147)
Factor 1 subfactors are lettered 1a through 1f and then "1j" for CLIN 0007. Please confirm the intended subfactor lettering. Please also confirm that no technical subfactor is assigned to CLIN 0008 (MOH Pool Pump System), i.e., that CLIN 0008 is priced but not technically evaluated.
Answer:
Amendment 0006 revises Instructions to Offerors to state the correct subfactor alphanumeric to “1g.” CLIN 0008 does not have an evaluation factor.
FAR 52.212-2, Factor 1
(pp. 145-147)
Page limits are stated per subfactor and total 130 pages. Please confirm: (a) the limits are per subfactor rather than cumulative; (b) whether the draft Quality Control Plan (PWS 1.8.1), draft Grounds Management Plan (PWS 4.1.2), equipment list (PWS 4.1.16), compost/soil amendment/fertilizer list (PWS 4.1.6), certifications, licenses, and the Site Manager resume and letter of commitment (PWS 1.8.20) count against those page limits; and (c) required font, point size, margins, and whether the proposal must be submitted as a single PDF.
Answer:
(a) Each subfactor, if stated, has its own page limits. (b) If a subfactor requires a specific plan, that plan will be included in the page limit. (c). Font size is 11. Margins are 1.” Due to VA network file size restrictions, the offeror may send multiple email messages for their proposal. Please clearly label the subject line to include 36C78626R50120. Also, please communicate in your email how many emails you plan to send.
PWS 1.8.20 (p. 25)
PWS 1.8.20 requires a one-page resume and a letter of commitment for the Site Manager and ends with the notation "Add to the source selection." Please confirm whether key personnel qualifications are an evaluated element and, if so, under which Factor 1 subfactor they will be evaluated.
Answer:
PWS 1.8.20 requires offerors to submit a one-page resume and a letter of commitment for the Site Manager, accompanied by the notation“Add to the source selection.” This notation affirms that Site Manager qualifications are an evaluated element of the proposal.
