The document addresses questions and answers for RFQ 70Z08125QELIZ0029, clarifying several key areas for potential contractors. It specifies that pricing for both base and option line items should be provided as separate lines within the same quote. Regarding past performance, there are no recency requirements. The document clarifies that no part of the site for the work needs to maintain flight operations, and therefore, no clearance lights or safety flags are required. It corrects an interpretation of evaluation criteria, stating that a contracting officer's knowledge is one means of evaluating past performance, not a basis for changing criteria. The document also provides clarity on the 'any other reasonable basis' for past performance evaluation, referring to available sources of information. Furthermore, it states that the RFQ is under FAR Part 13 (simplified procedures), not FAR Part 15, and a class deviation to FAR Part 36 removes the requirement for disclosing the magnitude of construction projects. Finally, it confirms that due to time constraints, no rescheduling of the mandatory site visit is possible.
