- Modification / Amendment 0001 to Pre-Solicitation: The purpose of this modification is to answer requests for information and update the pre-solicitation notice. This amendment also revises the estimated solicitation release date to state, The solicitation will be issued on or about 11 December 2014. 1. Question: We have also followed the track of this solicitation and have noticed that an US construction company have asked you on December 2013 if the solicitation requirements could be satisfied by having these categories made available through a written agreement with suitable companies through the Italian process of quote mark avvalimento quote mark as per D.P.R. 207/2010 and D.L. 163/2006 art. 49. Since 2010 a new D.P.R. 207 was issued which supersedes the D.P.R. 34 of January 2000, and you have answered that the U.S. does not acknowledge that method as a means of qualification. I am wondering if since then has been changes on the origin of this answer and if actually a partnership with Italian companies which satisfy the requirements could be valid for qualification of the JV. Answer: The U.S. Government will allow the qualification by means of the avvalimento procedure. As such, the U.S. does acknowledge that method as a means of qualification. 2. Question: The Pre-Solicitation Notice states that interested offerors may fax, hand deliver, or mail their Pre-Qualification packages. Could the pre-qualification documents be e-mailed? In the case that the U.S. Government may still require hard copies, please specify submittal requirements (number of copies that are required, etc.) Answer: The Government will allow one (1) copy submission of fax, email, hand deliver, or mail the requirements of all Italy pre-qualifications due by Thursday, 04 December 2014 at 1500 hours Central European Time (CET). However, the offeror must provide one (1) hard copy of all original Italy pre-qualifications in response to the solicitation or your firm will not be considered. Only those offerors who meet the requirements of the prequalification phase are allowed to enter into the solicitation phase. 3. Question: Referring to presolicitation No. W912GB-15-R-0003, the undersigned company asks for clarification on the following point: Are we allowed to COMPLETELY SUBCONTRACT the OG3, OG6, OG12 categories and then absorbing the relative amounts with the main OG1 category? If it is allowed, in the pre-qualification phase, is the name of the subcontractor the only thing to be specified? Answer: The prime is required to pre-qualify in the prevailing category OG-1. However, if the prime is not pre-qualified in all minor categories, the subcontractor is required to be qualified in the remainder of the minor categories in order to pre-qualify for the S.O.A. requirements. The Offeror has to provide a teaming arrangement that shows how they will meet the S.O.A. requirements and letters of commitment for the proposed subcontractors. ****************************************************************************** This Pre-Solicitation Notice provides the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District (USACE EUD) intent to award one (1) Firm-Fixed-Priced (FFP) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Job Order Contract (JOC) for the purpose to provide real property repair, maintenance, minor construction, and/or asbestos abatement.
