Question 1: Will NOAA accept a quote to provide fully furnished 1 bedroom/1 bathroom or 2 bedroom/2bathroom apartments?

Answer 1: NOAA will accept a quote for fully furnished 1 bedroom/1 bathroom or 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartments. All requirements of the statement of work must be met.

Question 2: Would you ever consider a hotel that does not have a stove top burner? They have a sink, microwave and refrigerator, suite sized and free breakfast?

Answer 2: Yes, see revised Statement of Work Question 3: The Statement of Work, Section 2, Item #15 (initial SOW) #13 (revised SOW) states “Rates shall exclude state and/or local taxes” Hotels are required to charge state and local taxes, therefore our proposal must include the cost of taxes. If we must exclude taxes will NOAA provide a tax exemption certificate for taxes charged by Hotels?

Answer 3: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 29.305 addresses tax exemption.

Question 4: The Statement of Work, Section 2, Item #5 (initial SOW) #3 (revised SOW) states the need for flexible check-in and check-out, will NOAA be able to provide 48-hour notice when the crew’s occupancy changes to assure all crew members are accommodated?

Answer 4: NOAA will give as much notice as possible for crew occupancy changes, however the mission is such that a guaranteed 48 hour notice cannot be guaranteed.

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