Amendment 2

This amendment is to provide responses to two (2) vendor questions. The attachment has been revised as result of Question #1. All other terms remain unchanged.

Question 1: I wanted to confirm that Question #2 of the attachment "Construction+Sources+Sought+Contractor+Information+Form" is in fact a requirement:

Government Response: Question #2 of the of the original attachment (Construction+Sources+Sought+Contractor+Information+Form) was addressed on Amendment 1. The attachment was revised to remove the bonding question on the attachment. The new attachment is "Construction Sources Sought Contractor Information Form_v2".

Question 2: The Sources Sought Notice N0017425SN0008 on Sam.gov states 'Contractor employees shall be vetted before access to Stump Neck Annex and Indian Head sites.' May you elaborate on the vetting process for access to Stump Neck Annex and Indian Head Sites? 

Government Response: All contractors will require DBIDS enrollment via DBIDS link (https://dbids-global.dmdc.mil/home/).

Amendment 1

This amendment is to provide responses to three (3) vendor questions. The statment of work (SOW) has been revised as result of Question #2. All other terms remain unchanged.

Question 1: The form provided to be filled in for the sources sought notification appears to be for a construction contract (file name “Construction+Sources+Sought+Contractor+Information+Form) instead of a service contract, which of course have very different requirements.

Government Response: The bonding portion of the attached form “Construction+Sources+Sought+Contractor+Information+Form” is not required, please complete and submit the rest of the form is.

Question 2: Based on the bonding capability section of the form (typically for construction) as well as the experience reference contract size of between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, the sources sought response requirements are quite different than would be expected for a service contract with the scope required for the Indian Head and Stump Neck Annex locations.  Would the Government please clarify?

Government Response: The SOW is revised from “The experience information provided shall support that you have completed a contract of the magnitude between $5 million and $10 million.” to "The experience information provided shall support that you have completed a multi-year contract of the minimum magnitude of $5 million."

Question 3: Is there an incumbent for this effort or is this a new requirement?

Government Response: No. This is a new requirement.
