Call order against the BPA and the Contractor accepts the BPA Call. Period of Performance

08/03/2026 - 08/02/2031.

BPA NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT: $499,000.00

AMENDMENT ONE ISSUED FOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

o Are building 95 bulk tanks (AR and N2) going to stay in place or get removed? If they will remain in place, should we include them on the pricing spreadsheet? Please provide price quotes for the listed items only.

o Do you want the dewar fill station to be noted as a misc purchase item? We have a quote for parts and labor we can note in the spreadsheet. Currently this is not accounted for in the pricing sheet. -Please provide price quotes for any equipment and/or supplies needed to meet the statement of work which are not specified under a detailed line item under

Miscellaneous gas and supplies.

o Attachment A state¿s transportation costs are to be included in the unit price for each gas, while Attachment B includes a separate line item for a Compliance and Transportation Charge per delivery order. Should transportation be quoted as a separate line item, or incorporated into each gas price? Transportation charges can be quoted either incorporated into the price for each gas or as a charge per delivery order depending on how the vendor¿s pricing system is set up.

Can we assume annual pricing escalations are permitted ¿ since the price schedule has 5 option periods? -Yes

Period of Performance Clarification: Section

G.2 appears to contain a typographical error, as "Year Two" lists the same dates as "Year

One" (08/03/2027¿08/02/2028). Additionally, the

BPA is described as a five-year agreement but the ordering table is labeled as a Base Year plus Years One through Five. Could USGS please confirm the intended ordering periods? -

Contract will be a Base year and 4 Options

Are we to note the per dewar price or per hcf rate for this line (previously we have filled the dewars on site, topping them off and billing per hcf with the orca truck rather than swapping full dewars. If we interpret this line as a full dewar swap, that will be a matter of taking the per hcf units and multiplying by the total cf in the dewar, so a substantially different amount.
