This solicitation will result in the award of a best value, fixed price purchase order. One or more, but not necessarily all, of the evaluation procedures in FAR Part 14 or 15 may be used in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b). 1.4 T he Government intends to awards to the offeror(s) providing the best overall value for each group in accordance with FAR 52.216.27. This request for quote does not commit the Government to award a contract or to pay any costs incurred in technical information and quote preparation. 1.5 GSA's objective is to select the quote that offers the Best Value. "Best value" means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. It is advised that firms submit an offer that represents the firm's best terms from a price and technical standpoint since the Government intends to award this contract to the offeror possessing the overall "best value" to the government utilizing the lowest price technically acceptable source selection process (FAR 15.101). The technical evaluation factors are (1) (2) Qualifications and Experience, (3) Past Performance and (4) Price. (FAR 15.304). 1.6 The government will evaluate the quality and extent of the offeror's experience relevant to the requirements of this RFQ. The government reserves the right to consider other sources of information such as current and past procurements, other federal agency contracts, commercial sources, and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirements, when such information is relevant to the acquisition. 1.7 Technical Information will be evaluated separately from the price quotes by a technical team and should be clearly labeled as the "Technical Information". Price shall not be discussed in the technical information document. 1.8 Interested firms are cautioned to submit adequate and sufficient information to enable the Government to fully ascertain its capability to perform all of the requirements of this acquisition. The data submitted with each proposal should be complete and concise but not overly elaborate. 2.0 PRICE INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Offeror shall submit pricing on the attached SF Form 18. The contents of the price proposal shall include a breakdown of lump sum prices which shows the total level of effort for each building with all associated travel costs shown separately. Travel costs shall not exceed the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) rates for the applicable geographical location. NOTE: Price information should be submitted as a PDF separate from the Technical information. 3.0 TECHNICAL INFORMATION REQUIREMENT •3.1 Evaluation Factors: Contractor shall be either a Registered Fire Protection Engineer (PE) or shall have a minimum of 15 years experience as a fire protection engineer in the US Government in the 804 series. Offeror is required to submit certificates, and resumes, and show documentation of past experience. Note: Person may not supervise someone that is not yet qualified to do the work. Experience conducting Fire Safety Surveys for GSA is weighed heavily for qualification. •3.2 Evaluation Factor 3 : Past Performance Surveys. Each offeror shall select three (3) projects from those identified above, then request that the Owner's Representative from each project complete the questionnaire (NOTE: These are available upon Request). Completed questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. Reference signatures are not required, however, the name, telephone number, and email address of each reference must be provided so the Government may contact them, if necessary. If the offeror does not receive the owner-completed questionnaire by the RFP closing date, the offeror, at a minimum, must identify the agency to which it was sent and provide a point of contact (individual and phone number). 4.0 BEST VALUE DETERMINATION 4.1 Technical information from offerors will be evaluated to determine if they meet the stated requirements in accordance with the Scope of Work. Offers that don't present sufficient information to permit a complete technical evaluation by the Government may be determined to be technically unacceptable and may be removed from further consideration. 4.2 Award will be made based on the result of the evaluation of (1) Qualifications (2) Experience, (3) Past Performance and (4) Price. (FAR 15.304). All evaluation factors other than price, are significantly more important than cost or price. 4.3 The contract will be awarded to the offer representing the best value to the government. The government will compare the technical information and the prices to determine the most advantageous combination for each portion or geographic location. The Government may reject any offer that is unrealistic in terms of program commitments, contract terms and conditions, or an offer that reflects an inherent lack of competence or fails to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program. An offer that is unrealistically high or low in price when compared to Government estimates may also be rejected. 5.0 COMMUNICATIONS AND REVISIONS 5.1 Contractors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the instructions. Contractors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the contractor has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Communications may be conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors and the Government reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for quote revision. 5.2 The Government intends to award based on initial offers, however, reserves the right to conduct fact finding or communication sessions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If communication sessions are conducted, the means and methods (e.g., in person, telephonic, written) will be determined by the Contracting Officer. This may result in a request for revised price. If final price revisions will be required for award determination, at the direction of the Contracting Officer, the offeror shall then submit their Final Price Revision (FPR) for evaluation. Final selection and award will be made by the Contracting Officer to that offeror that provides the best value to the Government. 6.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS 6.1 Suitability Determinations: (a) All contract employees requiring routine unescorted access to Federally-controlled facilities and/or information systems for more than 6 months (Regular Employees) will be required to undergo a suitability determination before a facility identification card is issued. Prior to the time that an identification card is issued, such Regular Employees will be required to comply with normal facility access control procedures, including sign-in, temporary badging, and escorted entry, as applicable. (b) Failure of a Regular Employee to receive a favorable suitability determination shall be cause for removal of the employee from the work site and from other work in connection with the Contract. (c) Contract employees working less than 6 months (Temporary Employees) may, at the Government's option, be required to undergo a lesser form of suitability determination. Prior to the time that an identification card is issued, if at all, such Temporary Employees will be required to comply with normal facility access control procedures, including sign-in, temporary badging, and escorted entry, as applicable. (d) Temporary Employees who have not received a favorable suitability determination shall be escorted at all times while in non-public space, as directed by the Government. (e) The Government, at its sole discretion, may grant temporary suitability determinations to Regular or Temporary Employees. However, the granting of a temporary suitability determination to any such employee shall not be considered as assurance that a favorable suitability determination will follow. (f)The Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative shall provide the Contractor with required forms for obtaining necessary clearances. The Contractor shall be required to cause such forms to be returned to the Government for processing not later than 14 days following being provided by the Government. (g) The Contractor shall be responsible for planning and scheduling its work in such a manner as to account for facility access issues. Difficulties encountered by the Contractor in gaining access to facilities by its employees and subcontractors shall not be an excuse to any Contractor performance under the Contract. 6.2 Compliance with Security Requirements (a) The Contractor shall comply with all GSA and tenant agency security requirements in the building(s) where work is being performed. (b) When a controlled personnel identification access system is used by a tenant agency at a site where work is performed, the tenant agency will be responsible for providing any required access credentials. Credentials shall be displayed at all times or as otherwise required by the tenant agency. 6.3 Identification Credential (a) Upon receipt of a favorable suitability determination, e ach Regular or Temporary Employee shall be issued an identification credential (Credential) permitting regular access to the building(s) were work is being performed. (b) Regular or Temporary Employees with Credentials shall be required to comply with all applicable access security screening procedures applicable to Government or other personnel possessing similar Credentials. (c) All Contractor or subcontractor employees possessing Credentials shall visibly display their Credentials at all times while in the building(s) where work is being performed. (d) The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all identification credentials are returned to the Government when a particular Contractor or subcontractor employee will no longer be providing service under the Contract at the building(s) covered by the Credential. (e) The Contractor will notify the Government when Credentials are lost. In that event, the Contractor will be responsible for reimbursing the Government for its cost in issuing a replacement Credential. 6.4 Standards of Conduct The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining satisfactory standards of employee competency, conduct, appearance, and integrity and shall be responsible for taking such disciplinary action with respect to its employees as may be necessary. 6.5 Removal from Contract Work (a) As provided in the clause entitled "Qualifications of Employees", t he contracting officer or a designated representative may require the Contractor to remove any employee(s) from GSA controlled buildings or other real property should it be determined that the individual(s) is either unsuitable for security reasons or otherwise unfit to work on GSA controlled property. This shall include, but not be limited to, instances where an employee is determined, in the Government's sole discretion, to be incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable or otherwise objectionable. (b) A contractor employee may also be removed where the continued employment of the contractor employee in connection with the Government work is deemed, in the Government's sole discretion, contrary to the public interest, inconsistent with the best interests of security, or a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well being or operational mission of the facility and its population. (c) Where a contractor employee is granted a temporary suitability determination, and an unfavorable final suitability determination is later rendered, the Government may insist on the employee's removal from the work site and from other work in connection with the Contract. (d) The Contractor shall be responsible for providing replacement employees in cases where contract employees are removed at no additional cost to the Government. 6.6 Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) Building Information Dissemination of sensitive but unclassified paper and electronic building information shall be made on a "need to know" basis in accordance with GSA Order PBS P 3490.1, a copy of which will be made available upon request. 6.7 Contractor will be required to sign a Document Security Form at the time of award. 7.0 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items.

(h) Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Executive Order 12689 ). (Applies only if the contract value is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals- (1) o Are, o are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (2) o Have, o have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property; (3) o Are, o are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and (4) o Have, o have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126). [ The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503 (b).] (1) Listed end products.

(3) If paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause applies- (i) If the offeror does not certify to the conditions in paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) and the Contracting Officer did not attach a Service Contract Act wage determination to the solicitation, the offeror shall notify the Contracting Officer as soon as possible; and (ii) The Contracting Officer may not make an award to the offeror if the offeror fails to execute the certification in paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause or to contact the Contracting Officer as required in paragraph (k)(3)(i) of this clause. (l) Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) ( 26 U.S.C. 6109, 31 U.S.C. 7701 ).

Amendment 001 Date: 09/06/2012 Just a quick reminder- that all communication (e-mails and phone calls) should be directed to the Contracting Specialist or the Contracting Officer only at this time. 1.1 Contractor question: – Please confirm the extent of survey activities for WA7858ZZ Port of Seattle Main Terminal. Although the area is listed as 3768 sq ft, the total building area is many times this size and contains multiple occupancies and hazards, complex geometry (not multiple similar floor plans), extensive life safety features, and occupant emergency planning spanning multiple organizations. Generally it is known that a minimally sized leased area will necessitate a full building survey in order to assess the risk posed by the larger space to the Federal tenant. However, in the case of this Main Terminal, a complete survey may be cost prohibitive. A similar concern for Bellingham International Airport but recognizing the much smaller size of this facility. Please advise the extent of the survey activities for these buildings. GSA Answer: The survey form includes specific information for the building in general that would require some investigation to the building construction, type of systems provided for fire and lifesafety and if there is any hazardous activities within the building. Since this an airport, the federal employees will be located throughout the facility in addition to the space that is assigned to them, so basic information needs to be included within the report. 1.2 Contractor question:  – RFQ 3.2 Please clarify which projects are referred to when selecting Owner’s Representatives. Are these solely GSA fire and safety survey contracts, a selection of three buildings previously surveyed, or can these be any past fire protection engineering project experience? GSA Answer: Please use similar projects. FYI: If a project was done through this office (Region 10, Northwest Arctic Region) please send past performance form to the PM of the project. (NOTE: Because Chuck Koval is helping to evaluate the technical aspects of the proposals, past performance questionnaires cannot be sent to him.) 1.3 Contractor question: – Will the lease expiration date be provided prior to performing the survey? GSA Answer: Yes, the lease expiration date will be provided prior to performing the survey, and can be obtained by the GSA contact after award. 1.4 Contractor question: – Will the date of any previous survey and/or a copy of the previous survey be provided prior to performing the survey? GSA Answer: If previous surveys are available, copies will be provided to the contractor if they ask. 1.5 Contractor question: Is it necessary to obtain current water flow test data from a local utility? Is it necessary to arrange or conduct water flow tests? GSA Answer: Since these are leased facilities, copies of reports with the information from the building owner is all that is required. GSA is not requesting the contractor to conduct these tests. 1.6 Contractor question: Is it necessary to confirm the presence of or adequacy of any local fire department Pre-Fire plan. GSA Answer: Contractor will have to ask the question to the owner’s representative as to whether there is one. This will suffice. 1.7 Contractor question: –Is it necessary to test fire protection or life safety systems. GSA Answer: Testing of the fire and lifesafety systems for the lease spaces is not required. Asking the building owner’s representative for copies of the annual tests of the systems is sufficient. 1.7 Contractor question: - Please confirm this will be a single contract which will include all five building Groups, such that bidders are able to develop a cost structure to take advantage of the most favorable travel and expense options. GSA Answer: GSA reserves the right to award 5 different awards for this solicitation. Each of the building groups are situated within close proximity of each other in order to take advantage of the most effective pricing to limit expense. 1.8 Contractor question: Is the Contractor required to provide a quote for all five (5) groups of buildings? GSA Answer: No. The contractor is allowed to provide a quote on buildings that the contractor feel they can work on. 1.8 Contractor question: If the answer to #1 is Yes, can the Contractor condition his/her quote to a specific number of building groups? GSA Answer: N/A
