HVAC Maintenance Black Hills National Forest

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD February 15, 2022

SUBJECT: Amendment 1, Questions and Answers from potential bidders

The following questions were presented as a result of the solicitaiton. Answers are provided in consultation with FS SME’s, in the format “Q:” = Question, “A:”= Answer

Q1: Section G.2 shows a charge rate of $50.00/hr. and 0.585 cents/mile. Is this a Davis-Bacon wage or set flat rate that is required by the government? Is the milage also a set rate to adhere to?

A1: This is a flat rate required by the government. The milage is a set rate that is adhere to.

Q2: Is there a dollar amount cut off for minor repairs vs. major repairs as this is very vague in the bid language?

A2: Preventative Maintenance and Minor Repairs is spelled out in C-2 of the SOW. Major repairs are everything else. It includes system and/or component failure that are not included in Maintenance and Minor Repairs.

Q3: Is there a list of belts and filters per location already? (As this is an added expense to be taken care of by the service provider per the full-service contract bid).

A3: We don’t have a list of belt types and sizes, or filters for each location. Bidders are expected to familiarize themselves with our systems and supply requirements from the RFQ documentation provided.

Q4: Does the Metasys upgrade during year two fall on the HVAC Service Provider to provide material and labor at the providers cost?

A4: Any and all costs related to the Metasys upgrade will be the responsibility of the contractor.

Q5: After looking through the documents, I do not see a site visit. Will there be a site visit for this project? And what is the Estimated Magnitude of this project?

A5: A site visit was not scheduled for this solicitation because there are 15 different sites that are covered by this requirement, as detailed in the RFQ/att. This is a maintenance (Service; non-construction) requirement, so the magnitude was not applicable to the solicitation.

Q6: Line item 012(a) on the first option year and then all option years to follow asks for an “Emergency Repairs Materials/Parts/Labor” amount and references Note2. I believe putting an arbitrary number in this column is doing the NFS a disservice and can cause issues later in the contract period.

A6: Schedule of Items (lines 12(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)) is now a set dollar amount for all potential bidders to include in their solicitation responses. Place the dollar amount of $25,000.00 as the total amount for each of the line items referencing “Emergency Repairs Materials/Parts/Labor SEE NOTE 2”.
