STANDARD FORM 30 (REV. 11/2016)

Prescribed by GSA FAR (48 CFR) 53.243

Previous edition unusable

Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced in Item 9 A or 10A, as heretofore changed, remains unchanged and in full force and effect .

Q: Line Item 0001 needs to be delivered on 06/01/23, and then the rest of the Line Items will be delivered on 07/17/23. Since the solicitation lists some of the units with different periods of performance (4 months, 3 months, 2 months, and 2.5 months), can you please provide the period of performance end date for each piece of equipment?

A: The periods are estimated and will depend on the progression of the work we will be doing using the equipment.

The contractor would only be required to commit the equipment on award of the contract from the start date to the number of months (which as stated in the solicitation will be considered 4-week periods) indicated per each line item on the Schedule of items.

If work progresses more quickly than expected, the equipment could be returned early; if work is delayed, we may request an extension of the rental at the contracted rates. Any extension would be a bilateral agreement which the contractor would have the option to accept or decline.

Below is an estimate using June 1 as the delivery date for Item 1 and July 17 for the remaining line items.

As stated in the solicitation, dates are estimates and will be determined as weather and work conditions evolve.

Q: How is this contract being paid?

A: The contractor will be responsible for uploading invoices (monthly or at the end of the contract) to the IPP.gov platform for ACH payment. The payment will go to the bank account associated with the contractor’s SAM.gov account. There is NOT an option for payment by credit card or any other method.

Q: What if I can get you everything else, but not the Canycom?

A: As stated in the solicitation, we have the option to award by line item. If one contractor has the best value on some of the equipment, but not all, we could award to that contractor for those line items (pieces of equipment) that they are the best value on, then award to another contractor (or multiple) for the remainder of the line items.

Also, please note that the Canycom, Terramac, or other make/model examples are NOT brand name requirements. If you can offer another model that meets the required specifications listed in the solicitation document, it will be considered for award.
