SECTION AND PAGE 1: Addendum No. 1, item 1, page 3, revised evaluation table in the Quick-Start Guide. TEXT: Submittal D, Technical SOQ: "Cost/Fee Structure", 10%. SECTION AND PAGE 2: Section 1.5 Definitions, page 7, "Response (SOQ)". TEXT: "The SOQ is not a price proposal and shall contain no cost or fee information." QUESTION: Addendum No. 1 adds Cost/Fee Structure as a scored criterion (10%) within Submittal D and deletes the pricing paragraph in Section 4.5, but the definition of the SOQ in Section 1.5 is unchanged. Please confirm what LAWA expects Respondents to address under Cost/Fee Structure, and whether the SOQ should include rates, fee structures or other pricing information. If pricing is expected, please state the format, where in the SOQ it should appear, and whether it counts toward the page limits in Section 3.4.

RFQ Section 3.4, page 31 Quote: """Describe approach to engaging with youth to increase awareness and exposure to STEM careers in design and construction, specifically targeting K-12 students attending Title 1 schools within the Airport Impact Area and City of Los Angeles" Q: Given that this requirement does not appear aligned with the contract’s focus on talent and organizational development, will LAWA remove this requirement from the SOQ submission?
Preference

RFQ Section 3.4, page 29 Quote: "Describe the firm’s approach to scoping and developing task orders under the categories being proposed, including how the firm will respond to both planned assignments and urgent, unplanned needs" Q: As the contract contemplated for this RFQ is a multiple award bench contract, can LAWA please confirm how firms can approach scoping and developing task orders that are compliant with procurement rules.
Scope/requirements

"RFQ Section 3.4 , page 28, and RFQ Section entitled, ""Desired Qualifications" Quote: """References should be on similar projects or services that closely match the size, complexity, and tasks described in the Statement of Work in this RFQ, and where the key personnel served in similar roles. References must be from the end-client or users of the project or service, and not from third-party consultants or the owner’s representatives." Q: Section 3.4 (page 28) requires Key Personnel references to be from end-clients or users of the project or service and excludes third-party consultants and owners’ representatives. For internal-facing Key Personnel who do not work directly on client projects, including the Financial Director or Equivalent, will LAWA accept references from other individuals with direct knowledge of their work, including third-party consultants or owners’ representatives?
