We are proposing to team/partner with a large sub to bid this solicitation. We, as a company, do not possess permits from either the PUC or FHWA but our partner/sub does. Does this preclude us from being able to successfully bid this solicitation? Answer: Often, the analysis of the requirements of the RFP by the proposal manager and proposal team members will indicate that the company lacks the capability to provide effectively one or more elements or components of a complete product or system requ ired by the solicitation. In this situation, it is often desirable to involve in the proposal preparation effort another company that is better qualified to provide the capability that may be lacking. This job can be accomplished by a teaming arrangement. The government recognizes the validity and legitimacy of teaming arrangements, albeit with certain limitations. The government requires its prime contractor to disclose the existence and composition of any teaming arrangement formed to perform a contract, so that it may exercise its authority to withhold its consent to a particular subcontract arrangement. The government, for example, would not recognize a teaming arrangement involving a debarred or suspended teaming partner. In addition, the government r etains the authority to determine that its prime contractor is responsible, that is, it has the financial, industrial, and other resources necessary to perform the contract and is an ethical contractor. The government also has the ability to ensure that it can obtain necessary data rights, pursue policies on competitive contracting, and hold the prime contractor fully responsible for contract performance. This may include evaluation of subcontractor's responsibility as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUANTITIES ESTIMATED QUANTITIES The quantities shown by area of performance for each item in this solicitation are the Governments estimates of requirements, which may be ordered during the period of the contract. The Governments estimated maximum daily requirements, excluding Saturday , Sunday, National, State and local holidays are listed below by area of performance within each schedule. *Prospective contractors must complete the Prospective Contractor's Guaranteed Daily Capability, which must equal or exceed the Governments minim um acceptable daily capability, for all items within an area of performance for which they submit bids.
