\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 1 – Tender Specification – point 7.2.3 Specific Turnover. Since the tender is published with a date of January 12, 2016, it is asked whether the years of the five-year period to be referred to, in relation to specific turnover, are understood to be 2011 \/2015. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 1
The five-year reference period for both specific turnover and global turnover is for the period 2010\/2014, as prescribed in the tender documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 2 – With reference to the call for bids regarding the setting up of “Corporea,” we are hereby requesting a clarification regarding the division into the 2 functional lots. In detail, which services refer to the first or second lot? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 2
The proposal of how to subdivide the lots is at the discretion of the firms, and therefore the work will also depend on what the project provides.
– The first functional batch must be able to function without the second.
– The construction work of the second lot should not reduce the functionality of the first lot, it is recommended that the areas of the lots be delimited in such a way that no overlapping and intertwining of space and function will result.
– It is also permissible to use the building entrances to the different floors with temporary solutions that, at the end of the construction of the two lots, must in any case provide a single logical\/functional\/spatial design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 3.1 – With regard to the procedure described in this question, we ask whether the procedure involves only a tender for supplies and services or is there also work involved.<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 3.1
The contract is turnkey. The bidder is required to propose the best design solution in view of the specifications set by the Contracting Authority. The contract is mixed and supply is the prevailing component <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 3.2 – If so, please specify the amount of work and any SOA category required and the amount of supplies.<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

RESPONSE 3.2
The amounts of construction work are estimated to be below the \u20ac150,000 threshold for the SOA requirement, so there is no due<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 4 – In point 7.2.3 of the tender specifications, the bidder, among the economic and financial capacity requirements, must produce a “statement certifying the specific turnover related to the sector of supply and installation of interactive exibits of scientific type in the museum field…”
The literal interpretation of the aforementioned text induces the competitor to declare that it has carried out, in the manner indicated in the aforementioned paragraph, specific turnover related to the field of supply and installation of interactive exibit in a museum context. The specification “of a scientific nature,” given the common meaning of the term, refers to concepts such as: understanding, knowing, knowledge of a certain order of facts …. Therefore, by virtue of this meaning, we ask for confirmation that the bidder can indicate as specific turnover all those services that relate to the multimedia technology required by the tender and referred to subjects also of other cultural or historical nature, therefore, not typically related to the narration of the human body. In fact, such areas, because of their specificity, are obligatorily subject to scientific validations by the various Commissions. On the other hand, the current Contracting Authority when requesting “turnkey” supply of hardware and related content related to the themes of the human body, divides a moment of mere technology with that of content narrative, of which it will be the responsibility of the bidder to later certify the relevant validation.
It is further specified that any request for exibits of a “scientific type,” in the literal sense of the term, restricts participation to only a few companies that have been active in the specific field of the human body, not allowing for widespread and maximum participation and competition.
Moreover, according to the relevant public procurement regulations, the indication of similar services must meet the need for the bidder to possess technical requirements related to the specific professionalism and qualification of the bidder (competence), the functionality of its activity (efficiency), the greater expertise resulting from having carried out the activity for a certain time (experience) and the nature of the results reported in the past (reliability).<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 4
Specific turnover refers to the creation of interactive science popularization exhibits, predominantly using “hands-on exhibits” according to the terminology used by the international science center community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 5.1 – Regarding the scientific contents of the set-up (e.g., texts for panels, for instructional videos, etc.) will these be provided by the contracting station?If such contents are not provided, will the contracting station have its own Scientific Committee that will screen the texts and documents proposed by the contractor before the set-up is put in place? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 5.1
The scientific contents of the set-up will have to be designed and provided by the contractor.
In the punctual definition phase of the project, the contracted firm will have to interface with the Contracting Authority’s Steering Committee.
For all intents and purposes, in Articles 13 and 14 of the tender specifications, the question is amply answered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 5.2 – Will the figures (individuals, entities and associations) who participated in the drafting of the “technical document” and indicated in the first pages of the same, be able to become part of groupings participating in the tender, as consultants, tutors, coordinators of the scientific aspects of the setting up? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 5.2
Article 90, paragraph 8, of 163\/2006 stipulates, “Designers may not be awarded public works contracts or concessions, as well as any subcontracts or subcontracts, for which they have carried out the aforementioned design activity; the same contracts, public works concessions, subcontracts and subcontracts may not be participated in by a person controlled by, controlling or related to the design contractor. Situations of control and connection are determined with reference to the provisions of Article 2359 of the Civil Code. The prohibitions referred to in this paragraph are extended to employees of the design assignment contractor, its collaborators in the performance of the assignment and their employees, as well as to design support contractors and their employees.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 5.3 – When evaluating individual proposals, will the scientific contributions of figures (individuals, entities, and associations) that will be proposed by the participating groupings be considered for the technical merit score?
If yes, in what way?
In the Administrative documentation “Envelope A” and\/or Technical documentation “Envelope B” are there specific attached templates for CVs ? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 5.3
The criteria to be followed in evaluating the proposed design solutions are those enumerated in the bidding documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 5.4 – Section 9.1 of the specifications provides for constituent groupings.
What type, with respect to Art. 37 L. No. 163, horizontal, vertical or mixed? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 5.4
It is possible to access all forms of grouping allowed by law taking into account that the main service is the one with CPV 92521100 as per the OJEC notice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 6 – With reference to what is stated on page 18\/19 Par. 20 PAYMENTS
“The payment of each individual SAL is, however, subject to the actual procurement of the financial resources needed for this purpose by the Campania Region according to the Rules of the Cohesion Development Fund.”
Does this mean that the payment of the SAL is suspended until the Region has collected the financial resources? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 6
Not necessarily, the suspensive effect could occur only if the resources for the liquidation of that SAL were not already available to the Foundation.
For all intents and purposes, we inform you that in the BURC of February 1, 2016, No. 6, was published in the Executive Decree No. 1 of 07.01.2016, approving the criteria and guidelines for the implementation of all interventions provided for in the APQ “Reconstruction Citt\u00e0 della Scienza”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 7.1 – For what reasons and under what terms can it be possible (if it is possible), to extend the delivery time of the complete exhibit (including designs, production, testing and assembly for both batches)?<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 7.1
It is stipulated in the specifications that “any extension of time for performance may be requested by the successful bidder in cases where the delay is not attributable to him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 7.2 – Do we interpret correctly by saying that the deadline for delivery of the outfitting is (including designs, production, testing and assembly for both lots) November 30, 2016? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

RESPONSE 7.2
The deadline is November 30, 2016, specified in the specifications for the completion of all interventions and expresses a requirement of the Contracting Authority to speed up the procedures using FSC funds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 7.3 – What is the latest date by which you assume to award the contract by signing the contracts, based on the established bidding process?<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

RESPONSE 7.3
The Contracting Authority assumes that the contract will be signed on 5\/31\/2016, which is the date to be taken into account for the purpose of preparing the specification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 8 – Is it “mandatory” in the case of an RTI being formed that one of the economic operators must belong to a foreign state?<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 8
Not necessarily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 9 – Regarding the call for bids in question, we assume our participation with the involvement of a non-Italian company. I am therefore asking if this contracting station has any declaration formats for this type of eventuality that could support us in this regard. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 9
The contracting station has not prepared a format for this eventuality. SI draws attention, in any case, to the fact that “the act” must comply with the contents of substance and form required by dlgs 163\/2006 and ss.mm.ii. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 10.1 – Is it possible to submit multiple proposals to combine the two lots?<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 10.1
The Contracting Authority is asked to comment on a single design proposal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 11 -relating to the possible participation of a foreign party in the tender in question we would like to be able to have the following information:
the availability of the tender documents in English, the manner in which foreign parties are required to prove that they meet the requirements set out in the tender specifications. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 11
We do not have any documentation in English, the provisions of the Procurement Code (dlg 163\/2006) in particular Art. 47<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 12.1 – Regarding the modalities of inspection: since we will participate in a grouping (not to be formed yet) with several partners including a University, I ask you, regarding the latter, if they can delegate the inspection to a person belonging to another of the companies in the grouping or if one of their representatives\/employees must necessarily come. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 12.1
If the grouping is being formed, it is possible to delegate a person belonging to another of the companies that are part of the grouping<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 12.2 – Concerning the parties allowed to bid: a firm of architects not formally established as an associated firm will also participate. So the question is: can there be co-partnership of firms and professionals? And also: can the firm’s professionals also be in a “temporary grouping being formed” (thus not yet formed) at the time of application? And finally: do all the professionals in this “sub-grouping” have to carry out the inspection or can they delegate a group leader? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 12.2
Yes, it is possible for firms and associated professionals to participate, this is also in view of the fact that the call for bids provides for the design activity.
If the professionals of the firm are not yet associating, but intend to do so along the lines of the RTI costiuendi, all the professionals can delegate a single professional “from the associating firm” for the inspection. Conversely, if the professionals are not yet associating, the inspection will have to be done by each of them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 13 – Is the scoring of the evaluation parameter ” Proposed solution for the control, management, monitoring of the exhibit elements” correct to attribute it to the contents of the “technical report describing the equipment, electrical, audio-visual, mechanical, technological, lighting and whatever else is necessary for the exhibition set-up” ?
Is it correct to interpret that there is no specific score to be given to the improvements offered regarding audio video and lighting systems?<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 13
The Rup cannot comment on such questions since the evaluation process is referred to a special tender committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 14 – Confirmation is requested that in the case of an RTI being formed, the mandated companies do not have to possess a minimum percentage of the expected economic and financial capacity requirement (Section 7.2.3) as required in the amount of 60% for the mandated company, without prejudice to the overall value provided.<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 14
If the requirement referred to in 7.2.3. is possessed by the agent to the extent of 60%, the answer is yes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 15 – With reference to the call for tenders DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EXHIBITION CONTENTS OF “CORPOREA, VIRTUAL MUSEUM OF THE HUMAN BODY,” and in particular point 7.2.3 concerning the specific turnover required for participation, we ask whether it is possible to indicate as similar turnover also relevant services that are in progress and not yet completed. Invoices and possibly also accounting documents showing that payments have been made by the client will be submitted for verification of the participation requirements. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 15
It is possible as long as the turnover of services still in progress refers to the period stipulated in the tender specifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 16 – With regard to the call for tenders in question, we would like to know whether “architectural design” services contribute to the demonstration of possession of the specific turnover referred to in Article 7.2.3 of the Tender Specifications, considering that they also appear to be the subject of evaluation. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 16
The specific turnover referred to in Article 7.2.3 of the tender specifications must refer to the field of supply and installation of interactive (hands-on) scientific exhibits in museums. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 17 – We noticed that the Tender Specification in paragraph 7.2.3 last point, asks competitors to comply with Article 37 paragraph 13 of Leg. 163\/2006. However, Suddetto article appears to have been repealed by Law 80\/2014 in effect since May 2014. We therefore ask how to interpret said prescription. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 17
Let this provision of the lex specialis be regarded as not affixed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 18.1 – On pages 38\/39 of the ITD (technical explanatory document), chapter II.2.b, “The entrance to the islands,” what is meant by the development of footage that will be subject to a stand-alone procedure? Will they be subject to a new call for tenders? Are they the only footage that is not part of this tender? Since the museum is to be delivered on a turnkey basis, how will this specific content be handled with respect to the timeline of the chronogram? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

RESPONSE 18.1
The making of the films related to the post called the substance are beyond the scope of this competitive bidding process. It will be the responsibility of the contracting station to provide the successful bidder with the ten films, related to the ten chapters of the story, which will be of standard format. And again, the awarded firm will be required to prepare its own timeline independently of the aforementioned footage, which again will be in standard format. In any case, in accordance with Article 13 of the tender specifications, said timeline is subject to adjustment at the bid detail stage. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 18.2 – Regarding lots 1 and 2; we understand that they are divided at our discretion but in any case must both be done by 11\/30\/2016 because of FSC funds. Should we exclude the possibility of a possible extension by paying the fine of \u20ac1,000 per day? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 18.2
With regard to the application of penalties, there is no possibility of a waiver of this requirement of the notice, albeit through an extension, if the contracting station, as per faq 7.3, reaches the conclusion of the contract by May 31, 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 18.3 – Regarding the ANAC payment, should the \u20ac140.00 payment be made for each lot or is \u20ac140 the total of the two lots? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANAC RESPONSE 18.3
As stipulated by Anac a payment of \u20ac140 should be made for each lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 18.4 – On pg. 7\/19 of the DDG (tender specifications); what are the “globally considered requirements” that are mentioned in the specifications that in any case must be of the principal? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 18.5 – On p. 7\/19 of the DDG; can you confirm us that, in case of a “forming Consortium” (i.e. having signed Annexes 2 and 3), if one of the Consortium companies has 60% of the economic financial requirements in 7.2.2 and 7.2.3, the other Consortium companies may not have specific turnover (7.2.3) provided that the sum of the Consortium’s economic requirements reaches \u20ac3,000,000 and \u20ac6,000,000? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 18.5
On this point the tender specifications are absolutely clear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 18.6 – DDG Item 9.3 – we would like to know whether Envelope C should contain only the completed Annex 7 in all its items and whether “List of Supplies” means the list in Annex 7, i.e., the quotation breakdown by lots and islands. <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 18.6
YES, as stipulated in the tender specifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 18.7 – Item 9.3 of the DDG, since there are in fact cost items that could involve the 2 lots can we provide in Annex 7 an expenditure chapter regardless of the lots? If not, can we predetermine the order of execution of the lots at our discretion? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

RESPONSE 18.7
It is clear that the entry of a cost, already incurred on the first lot and “useful” to the second lot can only be charged to the first lot. The order of the lots is as established. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 19.1 – With regard to the call for tenders in question, we would like to ask the following questions concerning the other exhibition spaces (point II.3 of the “Technical Illustrative Document,” pp. 40-41): What is the quantity of parking areas?<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

RESPONSE 19.1
The number and size of parking spaces are part of the design proposal. There is no requirement (qualitative or dimensional) for this. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 19.2 – What is the size of the space available regarding the outdoor park? What target audience should be considered? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

RESPONSE 19.2
Outdoor interventions are not required; they may possibly be provided in the vicinity of the entrance as an approach to the museum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 20 – We would like to confirm that in the case of the use of the institute of outsourcing, the auxiliary party is not obliged to carry out the inspection, and that the same obligation remains with only the auxiliary party declaring that it avails itself of the requirements necessary for the auxiliary economic operator to participate in the tender.<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 20
The auxiliary party is not obliged to carry out the inspection while the obligation remains with the auxiliary party<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 21.1 – There are three companies that are part of a constituting consortium, two of which alone fulfill the turnover requirement while the third has no specific turnover. Can the latter, without specific turnover, be submitted as part of the consortium or should it be put as a subcontractor? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 21.1
Yes, in the case of RTIs, the requirements prescribed by the specifications are cumulative, unless exceptions are provided for in the same specifications.
Taking into account the requirements prescribed for the mandated company, this company could still participate in the tender, obviously in the capacity of mandator.
Please note that in the case of RTIs not yet formed, admission to the tender is still subject to the certificate of inspection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

QUESTION 21.2 – On pages 40-41, point II.3.a and point II.3.b, of the Technical Illustrative Document, there is mention of two spaces dedicated to the “History of Medicine of Naples” and “Active Space.” Are the design, implementation and supplies of these areas included in the call for proposals? <\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

ANSWER 21.2
Yes, they are included.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
