About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation 140P4226Q0024, addressing contractor inquiries regarding irrigation system maintenance and repairs at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The document clarifies several key contract requirements: inspections shall occur 26 weeks annually rather than weekly as initially stated, with reduced frequency acceptable during winterized off-season periods. The material ceiling is $2,500 monthly ($12,500 annually), and once reached, additional repair needs should be deferred pending additional funding or contract modification, with the contractor continuing inspections and reporting only. For repair work requiring prior approval, a one to two-week turnaround time for Contracting Officer Representative (COR) authorization is acceptable, particularly given the contractor's need to inspect other park areas. The government indicated it will attempt to locate and post as-built drawings and system maps as an amendment to assist contractor planning. System verification will occur during initial walk-through inspections rather than being pre-verified by the government. This Q&A document does not contain pricing terms, response dates, award dates, or set-aside information, serving instead as clarification of the scope of work and procedural expectations for potential contractors.

140P4226Q0024 INDE Irrigation Maintenance Contractor Q & A
1. The scope requires weekly inspections (52 visits annually). Should inspections continue at the same frequency during the winterized/off-season period, or is a reduced frequency acceptable once systems are shut down?
Sorry for the typo but that should have been 26 weeks.
2. Regarding the annual material ceiling of $2,500:
· Once this limit is reached, should additional repair needs be deferred pending additional funding or modification?
· Should the contractor continue inspections and reporting only at that point?
This should be a monthly cost of $2,500 and an annual of $12,500
3. For repair work requiring prior approval, is there an established process or expected turnaround time for COR authorization to minimize delays in addressing system issues?
A week-two-week repair time would be acceptable especially with having to inspect other areas of the park
4. Are as-built drawings, system maps, or documentation of the irrigation systems available for contractor review?
I can check with our design and construction team to find all the parks drawings on our systems. If found, they will be posted as an amendment.
5. Has the government verified irrigation systems at all listed locations, or should the contractor expect to identify system presence during initial inspections?
This can be verified on the day of the walk through.
