- This is a modification to combined synopsis/solicitation number RS-ADM-03-161. The combined synopsis/solicitation number RS-ADM-03-161 is amended as set forth below. NOTE: THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY AMENDMENT TO THE COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION. A WRITTEN AMENDMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The above numbered combined synopsis/solicitation is amended to: (1) extend the closing date and time for receipt of proposals while responses to questions are being prepared and (2) establishes a vendor walk-through (site visit). Therefore, the closing date and time for receipt of proposals is EXTENDED from 12:00 noon, local time, on March 12, 2003, TO 3:00 P.M., LOCAL TIME, ON MARCH 28, 2003. In addition, the NRC will conduct a walk-through (site visit) on March 13, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. Offerors are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. The walk through will provide the opportunity for the Offerors to visit and observe the NRC Commission Hearing Room, video set-up, and cabling location. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award. (1) .General Instructions- a) Each Offeror must submit to the NRC CO (e-mail address is DAK1@NRC.GOV) via e-mail or other electronic media the name, title, company name, telephone number, FAX number, and electronic mail address of the persons who will attend the Walk Through. b)The Walk Through will be given at the following location: Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852-2738 (across from the White Flint Metro Station at Marinelli and Rockville Pike). There is limited parking, therefore, if possible take the Metro. If you must drive, no more than one vehicle per offeror. Note that due to security restrictions, vehicles may be subject to random inspection. Photo ID is required regardless of whether you take the Metro or drive. There is metered parking on the street. Offerors shall report to the above location to sign-in, badging, and to meet the escort. c) Offerors will be escorted on guided tours by NRC personnel. d) No more than 2 people per Offeror Team may attend. e) All questions concerning the conduct of the Walk Through should be submitted via e-mail or other electronic media to the Contracting Officer no later than 8:00 a.m. the day preceding the Walk Through.

FAILURE OF YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT, TO BE RECEIVED AT THE PLACE DESIGNATED FOR THE RECEIPT OF OFFERS, PRIOR TO OR ON THE DATE AND HOUR SPECIFIED, MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF YOUR OFFER. (7)Nothing follows.would recommend thirty (30) to sixty (60) minutes "extra time" for mail handling, due to heightened security measures around government buildings. QUESTION#3: The announcement states that "proposals shall not exceed 30 pages" and that "any pages beyond the first 50 will not be considered in the evaluation." Can you provide the precise page limit? Do we correctly assume that page limit applies only to the Technical Proposal and does not include the pricing information in the Cost Proposal? RESPONSE#3: Proposals shall not exceed 30 pages, inclusive of the past performance references (if both sides of a page are used, each side is counted as one page). Any pages beyond the first 30 will not be considered in the evaluation. All charts, graphs, and other information, inclusive of past performance information, will be counted in the page limitation. Foldouts and sales brochures are prohibited. The page limitation applies to the technical proposal only. QUESTION#4: Will price be evaluated for the initial year only or will price evaluation also include the four option years? RESPONSE#4: Pricing for the base plus all four option periods will be evaluated. QUESTION#5: Does NRC have a preferred format for response to the RFP? RESPONSE#5: The offeror must submit the following material which will constitute its offer: (a) Part 1 - Solicitation Package/Offer - Vendor transmittal letter signed by a duly authorized company representative which constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions of the contract. (b) Part II -PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS -- TECHNICAL -- Submit one (1) original and two (2) copies of the "Technical Proposal which addresses: CORPORATE EXPERIENCE: The offeror shall discuss how well its proposal demonstrates corporate experience. Describe, in general terms, corporate qualifications and experience in performing the same or similar work as required in the SOW Section of this solicitation the firm and any of its proposed subcontractors have performed over the past five years. Include the number of years the firm has been in business and company growth history (personnel and dollars). List any current commitments with other organizations, Government and/or commercial, for the same or similar effort. PAST PERFORMANCE: Offerors shall provide past performance information that includes recent and relevant information for a minimum of two contracts performed over the past five (5) years for efforts accomplished in similar size and scope to the NRC's effort. This information shall include contract number, dollar value, point of contact with a current telephone number and a brief synopsis of the services performed. (c) Part III - PROPOSAL REQUIREMENT - PRICING - Submit one (1) original and two (2) copies of the "Cost Proposal which includes completing the pricing schedule. An offeror's cost proposal shall reflect all costs necessary to perform the work reflected in this effort. The offeror shall submit an overall cost proposal for the entire period of performance (base period and option periods). (d) Part IV -REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS - Offeror must include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3 (October 2000) Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, with its offer. QUESTION#6: Is there a particular standard form on which we should complete the provision at 52.212-3? I've noted at www.arnet.gov/far what language must be included, but didn't know if there's an actual form to use or whether we should generate the elements of a form ourselves on our own letterhead, for example. RESPONSE#6: The format for the certification is in FAR 52.212-3. There is not a separate form for this. Most offerors print a copy of the clause FAR 52.212-3 and complete the certification questions on the printed FAR clause. The marked-up FAR clause is submitted as the certification. For example see paragraph (b) Taxpayer Identification Number of the clause. You will note that item number (3) Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) shown below leaves a place to write in the TIN or circle the statement that applies. "o TIN: _____________________. QUESTION#7: Are there any forms or representations that we need to provide with our proposal that relate to FAR 52.212-5 and the additional applicable clauses, or to the INS compliance? Or would any such forms or representations be required following award of contract instead? RESPONSE#7: There are no forms to complete in relationship to FAR 52.212-5. By your firm submitting a proposal in which you do not take any exceptions to clause FAR 52.212-5 indicates that you are accepting the Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders- Commercial Items. There is nothing additional to submit with your proposal. QUESTION#8: Regarding RS-ADM-03-161, modification 4, amendment 2, there seems to be a minor discrepancy involving CLIN 0017 and Option Period One. CLIN 0017 is a repeat of CLIN 0016. There is no CLIN under Option Period One for "CONVERSION of an NRC meeting from a VHS-tape into ARCHIVED format on an URGENT basis within 4-hours for each full half-hour of the actual meeting that was held." Since such a CLIN exists in Base Period and Option periods Two, Three and Four, it would seem that a CLIN for such a service should be under Option Period One as well. RESPONSE#8: See item number 1) of this amendment. (3) FAILURE OF YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT, TO BE RECEIVED AT THE PLACE DESIGNATED FOR THE RECEIPT OF OFFERS, PRIOR TO OR ON THE DATE AND HOUR SPECIFIED, MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF YOUR OFFER. (4) Nothing follows. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (20-MAR-2003). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 05-MAR-2004. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
