EPOXY FLOOR COATING FOR BUILDING 235 ROOM G100 – 1333ND18QNB610385 AMENDMENT 0001

The purpose of this amendment is to respond to questions and requests for further clarifications, revise the contract line items (CLINS), period of perfromance and revise task order - ordering procedures in the request for quotation (RFQ).

The questions/answers are as follows:

1. Question: What are the expectations of dust and debris protection? During the removal process dust and debris will be created and can travel in the air is covering things acceptable or do we need to build containment?

Answer: During surface coating removal/floor preparation NIST equipment should be covered. In addition, contractor dust creating equipment should be equipped with dust collection apparatus.

1. Question: Will there be a line item added for mobilization of each task order?

Answer: The CLIN structure has been revised to add a CLIN for mobilization costs for each task order.

1. Question: We would like the range in the square foot for each task for pricing purposes remain. The amount of footage has direct affect on sq. ft. pricing.

Answer: The CLIN structure has been revised to change the square footage (SQ FT) in each CLIN.

The revised CLIN structure is as follows:

All offerors shall provide a firm fixed price quotation for the following line items:

CLIN 0001 – Base Period – Mobilization cost for each task order up to 1000 square footage (SQ FT)

CLIN 0002 – Base Period – Mobilization cost for each task order greater than 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0003 – Base Period – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – up to 500 SQ FT

CLIN 0004 – Base Period – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – 501 - 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0005 – Base Period – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating - greater than 1001 SQ FT

CLIN 0006 – Option Period I – Mobilization cost for each task order up to 1000 square footage (SQ FT)

CLIN 0007 – Option Period I – Mobilization cost for each task order greater than 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0008 – Option Period I – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – up to 500 SQ FT

CLIN 0009 – Option Period I – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – 501 - 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0010 – Option Period I – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating - greater than 1001 SQ FT

CLIN 0011 –Option Period II – Mobilization cost for each task order up to 1000 square footage (SQ FT)

CLIN 0012 – Option Period II – Mobilization cost for each task order greater than 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0013 – Option Period II – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – up to 500 SQ FT

CLIN 0014 – Option Period II- Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – 501 - 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0015 – Option Period II – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating - greater than 1001 SQ FT

CLIN 0016 –Option Period III – Mobilization cost for each task order up to 1000 square footage (SQ FT)

CLIN 0017 – Option Period III – Mobilization cost for each task order greater than 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0018 – Option Period III – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – up to 500 SQ FT

CLIN 0019 – Option Period III - Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – 501 - 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0020 – Option Period III – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating - greater than 1001 SQ FT

CLIN 0021 – Option Period IV – Mobilization cost for each task order up to 1000 square footage (SQ FT)

CLIN 0022 – Option Period IV – Mobilization cost for each task order greater than 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0023 – Option Period IV – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – up to 500 SQ FT

CLIN 0024 – Option Period IV – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating – 501 - 1000 SQ FT

CLIN 0025 – Option Period IV – Surface Preparation and Two-Part Floor Epoxy Coating - greater than 1001 SQ FT

The Period of Performance is revised for the extra CLINS:

Period of Performance and Place of Performance Line Items 0001 – 0005: The Epoxy Floor Coating of shall be from October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019. All work shall be performed at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Line Items 0006 - 0010: Option period I: The Epoxy Floor Coating of shall be from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020. All work shall be performed at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Line Items 0011 - 00015: Option period II: The Epoxy Floor Coating of shall be from October 30, 2020 through September 30, 2021. All work shall be performed at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Line Items 0016 - 0020: Option period III: The Epoxy Floor Coating of shall be from October 30, 2021 through September 30, 2022. All work shall be performed at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Line Items 0021 - 0025: Option Period IV: The Epoxy Floor Coating of shall be from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. All work shall be performed at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

The Task Order – Ordering Procedures is revised as follows:

TASK ORDER - ORDERING PROCEDURES

TASK ORDERS

The contractor shall provide goods and/or services under this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract only as directed in task orders issued by a NIST Contracting Officer. Each order will include:

1. Date of the order;

2. ID/IQ number and task order number;

3. Item number and description, quantity, unit price and fixed price;

4. Delivery or performance date;

5. Place of delivery or performance (including consignee);

6. Packaging, packing, and shipping instructions, if any;

The Contracting Officer may use oral proposals and streamlined ordering procedures.

a. Individual awards for each order under the ID/IQ will be based on price competition among ID/IQ holder, however, past performance information from previous delivery orders may be used as a screen in selecting awardees for solicitation of quotes on an upcoming order.

b. When submitting a quote, Contractor shall acknowledge and agree to abide by the delivery schedule specified in the ID/IQ Task Order for each line item.

c. Every order placed under the ID/IQ will be separately evaluated for price reasonableness by the Contracting Officer.

d. Written solicitations and required specifications (see section C: Tasks) will be sent via email to the attention of each awardee’s Project Director. Solicitations shall identify a due date and time for quotes. Quotes received after said date and time will not be considered for award.

e. Email quotations are acceptable providing all required information is included.

f. When submitting an email response, the Contractor agrees to be bound by the email authorized signature the same as if submitted under an original signature.

g. Awardees should submit their best offer in responding to individual request for quotes, as the Government anticipates making awards without discussions.

h. Following receipt of quotes and the deadline for quote submittal, the Contract Specialist and the COR shall review all quotes and award will be made to the Contractor submitting the lowest quote that is technically acceptable and if determined necessary, enter into discussions with the offeror(s)

i. If discussions are conducted, the Contracting Officer will request a revised quote Upon receipt of revised quotes, the Contracting Officer will complete evaluations.

j. Upon completion of evaluation, the Contracting Officer will issue a fixed price task order to the selected Contractor.

k. At time of award, notification of delivery due date will be specified and shall be in accordance with the performance period specified in the delivery order package used for preparation of the quote. Winning offeror shall acknowledge receipt of award notification.

l. Upon award of a task order, the contractor shall execute the task order by performing all tasks listed in the task order by the due date.

m. Awardees are not obligated to submit quotes for all requirements, nor is the Government obligated to award a task order, of any amount, to any offeror. Failure to submit a quote for one order and/or late submission of a quote for one order, will not preclude an awardee from being considered for future orders.
