Questions and Answers 2

1. Please verify where on Form 1449 that receipt of the Amendments is to be acknowledged.

Per the Standard Form 30, box 11 provides 3 methods for acknowledgement.

2. In regard to the Schedule of Services as per Amendment #1, Items No 001 and 002 require 2 site visits from the time frame of 7/1/18 to 9/30/18. Since not all sites will have service during this timeframe, please verify that the contractor is to determine the 2 sites that will receive service under each Item. Note that it would be extremely difficult to perform service at all 7 sites per Item 1 and 9 sites per Item 2 in the timeframe selected. It is probably best to leave the number of visits as presently listed. If the number of sites is to be changed, it should only be changed by 2 or 3 more sites per Item Dates have been updated to reflect a July-June cycle.

3. In regards to the Schedule of Services as Amendment #1, for Items 0015 - 0021 for Travel, please clarify what costs should be included in these line Items. Is it permissible to include the travel costs as a portion of the cost for items 1 -14?

Travel CLINs 13-18 should capture the travel, hotel, and incidental experiences. Travel costs should not be included in items 1-14 as there are specific CLINs for travel.

4. In regards to the Schedule of Services as Amendment #1, Items 0022 - 0028 request prices for Emergency Repairs (labor, materials). The SOW states that these costs are to be negotiated with the COR before execution. Should these costs contain the same language as Items 0029 - 0035 that these costs are "Estimate Only"?

SOW has been updated to reflect, “All travel, per diem, parts, labor, and materials necessary to facilitate an onsite emergency repair shall be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to execution.”

5. Is the Total Cost for all Items on the Schedule of Services to be listed either on Amendment #1 or the Form 1449? If so, on what line.

There is not a total cost line. However, it would be beneficial to include this information in the submission.
