- Description
- This is a list of questions that have been submitted for this presolicitation, along with answers for each. Continue to use the modified presolicitation posted on 1/27/2010 for the requirements. 1.When will this presolicitation become a solicitation? This presolicitation will only become a solicitation issued to the highest rated firm at the end of the FAR 36.6 Architect and Engineering, and Brooks Act procedures. This current presolicitation is only asking for Standard Form 330 Statement of Qualifications from interested firms. 2.Is it required that an Architect firm prime this, or may an alternate firm prime it as long as they do business under NAICS 541330? A firm under NAICS code 541330 can be the prime for this as long as they meet all of the criteria listed in the presolicitation, and have an architect on the team. 3.Do you by chance have an estimate of how many contracts the NEBC plans to issue under this IDIQ? The NEBC will award one IDIQ off of this presolicitation, and reserves the right to issue multiple awards. The NEBC does not have a set number of projects in mind to issue off of the awarded IDIQ? That amount is open over the base and options years of the IDIQ, and the dollar amount of $7.5 million. 4.We are reviewing the presolicitation are wondering if the Response Date was still February 15, 2010, as it is a Federal Holiday. The date has been changed to February 16, 2010, and the last day for Technical Questions has been changed to February 9. These changes were posted on FBO on January 27, 2010. 5.Will our partner's SDVOSB status help meet potential set-asides should you elect to set-aside this work to SDVOSB firms? The SDVOSB status will not help as a sub. 6.Do you want the following 3 criteria ESTIMATING EFFECTIVENESS, SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, MISCELLANEOUS EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITIES to match with projects listed on individual's resumes instead of the Section F projects we profile? If so, can it be a representative sampling of the projects on the resumes? Yes, a representative sampling from those resumes would be appropriate. We just wanted to see more than the traditional ten projects that are listed in section F. 7.Do all the consultants on a team need to be within 100 miles of a VISN listed hospital? Additionally, do all of the consultants need to be within 100miles of the same hospital? The prime firm needs to have either their main office or a branch office within 100 miles of one of the medical facilities listed on the presolicitation. The consultants do not have to be within 100 miles of the same hospital. 8.Separate announcements were issued for over 20 individual VISNs. If our firm wants to submit SF330 information for more than one VISN, can one SF330 be submitted with an indication of the VISNs we are proposing to support, or will a separate SF330 be required for each VISN? Since there are 21 VISN's and 21 presolicitations I would have to say I will take one SF330 for each individual VISN. If you are interested in three VISN's then I would want to see three separate SF330's. I am not trying to cause more work, but I am doing this from a logistical and tracking sense so I will be able to distribute everything accordingly. 9.So that we can identify the distance of our office locations relative to your facilities, are VISN maps in vector file format (i.e., Illustrator, either AI or EPS file) available that show the location of your facilities? This link will provide a map and links to each VISN for the specific locations: http://www1.va.gov/caresdecision/page.cfm?pg=31. 10.In the text it mentions the Small Business Size Standard is $4.50 million gross annual revenue but on the side it says no set aside. Do we need to be a small business to submit? The posting does mention the Small Business Size Standard, and also mentions that if enough qualifications are received the government reserves the right to make this a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Set-Aside. Again that is only if enough qualified firms submit. We encourage all types of firms to submit for this AE IDIQ.
