Amendment 1 140R4023Q0056 Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility (BGNDRF) Well No. 4 Inspection and Cleaning

Question and Answer

1. The Performance Work Statement states the following on page 2: “Submit the following using English and US Customary Units for review by the Government: (1) Submit Offeror’s safety plan, project scope and schedule. (2) Submit for each manufacturer the following: Shop drawings, product description, operational/owner’s manuals, and specifications for equipment being supplied by the Offeror under this contract.” However, in the Solicitation document it is mentioned that the technical narrative should not exceed no more than 5 pages. Can you please advise if the safety plan, and other required documents mentioned in the PWS should be included in the proposal or to be provided after contract award? If to be provided with the proposal it would be very challenging to respect the 5 page limitation.

The safety plan and other documents can be supplied in more detail after award. The technical narrative needs to state a clear plan and timeline for all work that will be performed so that there is an understanding of technical capabilities to perform the requirement. The technical narrative should briefly discuss each item outlined in the Performance Work Statement and Solicitation to provide a clear understand of the offeror’s technical capabilities if additional pages are needed to do so that is acceptable.
