- Description
- 1.We are a firm with registered professional to practice AE services in the State of Florida and we partner with AE firms in Florida; however, given the existing geographic restriction of 150 miles, we cannot compete. If the volume of work is significant, we would consider opening up a field office near the PM for this contract. Respectfully request that you include all qualified firms who are located in VISN 8. RESPONSE: The VA does not anticipate eliminating any stated criteria or modifying our requirement at this time. The 150-mile geographic restriction is based on the intense collaboration efforts involved, not only with each facility, but also the VISN 8 Capital Asset Management staff who will act as the COR for this project. There are numerous scheduled meetings with senior management and staff offices to be held within specific timelines, field survey work, etc. that will be required to meet the deliverables during the contract performance period of approximately two years. ALL PROSPECTIVE A&E FIRMS WISHING TO CONTRACT WITH THE GOVERNMENT AS THE PRIME CONTRACTOR ON THIS PROJECT ARE REMINDED THAT THE LOCATION OF THE DESIGN FIRM WILL APPLY TO THE FIRM'S LOCAL (DEFINED AS 150-MILE RADIUS FROM VISN 8 CAM OFFICE) CORPORATE OR BRANCH OFFICE. ANY BRANCH OFFICE MUST HAVE A SEPARATE DUNS NUMBER FOR EACH PHYSICAL LOCATION OF A FIRM, IN ADDITION TO OPERATING AS A BRANCH OFFICE FOR A MINIMUM OF THREE YEARS AS OF THE RESPONSE DATE OF AUGUST 15, 2013. 2.Our firm is currently located outside the geographic location stipulated in the Sources Sought Notice. I would like to clarify that if we form a teaming agreement with a consultant within the 150-mile distance, with our firm as the prime, that we would satisfy the Additional Selection Criteria requirement of being within a 150-mile driving radius. As part of our teaming arrangement, we would of course secure a DUNS number and SAM registration with our consultant's location. RESPONSE: SEE ABOVE ANSWER TO NO. 1.
