- 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.Is this a set aside for SDVOB? This presolicitation is encouraging all types of firms to submit their SF330 qualifications for this contract, including both 8(a) and SDVOSB. As stated in the presolicitation, if acceptable SF330 packages are received from SDVOSB and VOSB firms, the government reserves the right to set-aside this contract for SDVOSB or VOSB firms, if there are enough qualified firms that submit. 2.Can 8(a) firm be qualified to apply as a prime vendor? Yes, this is open for any size firm. 3.How many firm(s) would you be selecting for this contract? As stated in the presolicitation, one firm will be selected, but the government has the option to make multiple awards. 4.When is the deadline for submitting questions regarding this solicitation? The deadline listed for submitting questions is February 9, 2010. 5.Is there a limit on length of time for this contract? The contract is for a base year, and four 1 year option periods. 6.Is there a limit on fees over the length of this contract? The limit of the contract is $7.5 Million. 7.My question is whether the VA prefers that these proposals be led by an Architect or whether we as engineers can prime? The NAICS code listed in FBO was 541310 which is for Architectural Services, but an Engineering Firm under NAICS Code 541330 can also submit as the prime firm, as long as there is an architect on the team and the criteria listed in the presolicitation is followed. 8.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. 9.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. 10.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. 11.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. 12.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. 13.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.
