The document addresses frequently asked questions regarding the W912DS26RA003 Architect Engineering Services solicitation. Key clarifications include resume submission guidelines (one page per individual, up to 50 pages total in Section E), small business participation (no specific target, but a secondary selection criterion), and project eligibility (projects completed in September 2017 are acceptable). The submission deadline will be extended. For specialized experience, new central utility plants are considered upgrades, and full design projects for Design-Bid-Build contracts are favored. Projects on resumes do not need to be construction complete. CPARS and PPQs are acceptable for past performance, with summaries sufficient; they are not excluded from page limits. Master Planner and Cost Engineer roles require a P.E. or R.A. designation, with other certifications considered strengths. Infrastructure projects can include new construction, and multiple renovation example projects of the same type are permissible. Partially designed projects will not be considered, and renovation projects must meet the $10M minimum construction cost. The page limit for Section F (10 pages, 1 per project) and Section I (85 pages) remains unchanged. Font size 9 Arial is a minimum, and other legible fonts are acceptable. A formal amendment will be issued, and the deadline for questions has been extended to November 7, 2025.
The W912DS26RA003 Request for Information (RFI) addresses questions for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for general Architect-Engineering Services for the New York District. Key clarifications include that information in Section H will not be excluded from the 85-page count limit, and the page count will not be increased. Section F is limited to 10 pages, with one page per project, clarifying previous conflicting guidance. The solicitation also clarifies that "Year Completed – Professional Services" on the SF330 form refers to the completion year of the design or professional services phase, while "Year Completed – Construction" refers to the completion year of the construction phase, if applicable. This will be the final amendment, with responses provided as a separate attachment. All submitted resumes will be evaluated, with at least one per discipline meeting professional registration requirements. Offerors can reallocate unused pages from Section E to other sections, provided the total 85-page limit is maintained. Lastly, the New York District currently has no plans for an IDIQ dedicated solely to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Program.
The RFI Responses document addresses numerous questions regarding the W912DS26RA0003 solicitation, clarifying proposal submission requirements and evaluation criteria. Key clarifications include resume submission (50 pages for 25 disciplines, allowing flexibility in page allocation per resume), small business participation goals (to be established), and project completion dates (projects completed September 2017 are acceptable). An extension of seven calendar days for submissions will be issued. The document details acceptable project types for specialized experience and technical competence, including utility plant upgrades and design-build RFP projects. It also clarifies requirements for qualified personnel, particularly regarding Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) licenses for master planners and cost engineers, though AICP certification may be considered for master planners. Past performance submissions only require a summary table of CPARS, not individual reports. Page limits for Section F projects can be increased by using Section H. The document also confirms font type and size flexibility and clarifies that a radar facility is within the scope of R&D Communications facilities. It also states that construction-complete projects are preferred, but ongoing or design-complete projects are acceptable, though they may not rank as highly. Overall, the document aims to provide comprehensive guidance to offerors to ensure accurate and compliant proposal submissions.
