Questions and Answers
Question # 1 – What is the timing for the work with RiverWare Model? Will most of the work be in the first year or during the option years?
Answer #1: 20% in first year, 40% year 2, 40% year 3.
Question # 2 – Are there any more details on the nature of the work with RiverWare Model?
Answer #2: Consultant will assist in reviewing RiverWare model to ensure that it accurately captures daily operations and long-term planning called for in the Proposed Action/Biological Opinion.
Question # 3: How many presentations/workshops per year to stakeholder groups is anticipated? More presentations represent additional costs and time needed to complete tasks.
Answer # 3: We have worked collaborative with current vendor and usually BOR will make presentations. Stakeholder meetings slated for 4 times per year until BiOp is done, so the first two years.
Question # 4: The referenced contract terms and conditions appear to be more suited for construction contractors than for service firms. Does USBR have contract terms that are more geared to the provision of services?
Answer # 4: This is a commercial service contract and clause 52.212-4 is a mandatory clause. The terms and conditions stated within 52.212-4 are consistent with commercial practices and are different than the terms and conditions of a construction contract. We will not be removing clause 52.212-4 from this solicitation or contract.
Question # 5: Aspects of the referenced terms and conditions appears to be uninsurable for a service company (e.g. warranties on services). Does the USBR have the latitude to negotiate Terms and Conditions for this contract?
Answer # 5: This is a service contract and the vendor will not be delivering items covered under a warranty of merchantability or fit for use.
