140P4226Q0050 FONE/FRHI Elevator Inspections Q & A

1. The solicitation states that the site visit will be held September 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET, with attendees meeting at the Fort Necessity National Battlefield Visitor Center in Farmington, PA. Since the requirement covers elevators at both Fort Necessity National Battlefield and Friendship Hill National Historic Site, will the site visit include both elevator locations, or only the Fort Necessity location?

Yes, if interested parties show up for the Fort necessity elevator, Jerome Kirkland will then take anyone interested to the second site (about 30 min away).

2. Section C references repair services being performed when they are “under the threshold parameters or authorized by written modification.” Could you please clarify the applicable repair threshold and identify which repairs, parts, and labor are expected to be included within the fixed-price monthly maintenance CLINs versus repairs that would require separate authorization or modification?

1. Repair Threshold would be under $500.00 and paid using CC not the IPP system but the COR must be made aware repairs are needed. Only Preventive maintenance such as the following will be required by the fixed price monthly inspections:
