- 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.Can you please send me a copy of the RFP for VISN 5 AE IDIQ - VA-776-10-RP-0119? This is not an RFP, but a request for your firm to submit Standard Form 330 statement of qualifications. This is not a solicitation. Please follow FAR 36.6 Architect and Engineering, to better understand how we are following AE and Brooks Act procedures for this procurement. 2.The RFP is for VISN 5 which includes MD, VA, DC and WV; however the RFP only lists specific facilities within MD. The RFP notes that the A/E team must be "fully A/E qualified and licensed in those states to be considered." My assumption is that the RFP was only noting some of the facilities and that you must indeed be registered in all the jurisdictions. Could you please confirm this? Site Resources is not registered in all the jurisdictions. Would it be acceptable to immediately seek reciprocity licenses in the jurisdictions we are not licensed in or do the licenses have to be in place when the proposal is submitted? You must be licensed, however if the firm is licensed in Maryland, they can stamp drawings at Federal facilities in Virginia or other states. 3.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. 4.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. 5.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. 6.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. 7.The announcements indicate a requirement that the responder have an office within 100 miles of at least one of the facilities identified in the respective VISN. If the response includes a prime with a strategic Team of subcontractors, does the office have to be an office for the prime, or can it be an office for a Team member? The prime vendor must be within 100 miles of one of the VISN facilities listed in the presolicitation. There will be a question and answer modification to follow on FBO with an answer to this question for all to see. 8.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. 9.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.
