1. Will the Embassy consider a hybrid Firm-Fixed Price contract AND time-and-materials type of contract, since services such as major vehicle overhauls may require an additional subcontractor to make major one-time repairs?
NO. Any requirements outside of the SOW of the solicitation will be handled via separate appropriate procurement mechanisms.
1. If the answer to the preceding question is no, will the Embassy allow the contract awardee at a later time to decline tasks deemed outside the scope of the contract and without penalty?
The services should be performed in accordance with the scope of work. Any requirements outside of the SOW of the solicitation will be handled via separate appropriate procurement mechanisms.
1. Will the Embassy have access to local micro-purchasing in the event services and/or repairs are needed outside the capabilities of the contract awardee?
Any requirements outside of the SOW of the solicitation will be handled via separate appropriate procurement mechanisms.
1. Will the Embassy consider changing this contract from firm-fixed price, to firm-fixed price level-of-effort? In other words, instead of allowing offerors to provide unspecified services on a single monthly charge (current solicitation format), the Embassy price asks for pricing on hourly basis. The Embassy thus pays only for actual hours worked by contractor employees instead of paying a monthly single lump-sum for indefinite, unspecified services.
No.
1. What are the required minimum qualifications and experience of personnel required for the vehicle-support related categories (i.e., education, experience, and/or language competency scores)?
The solicitation package outlines the requirements for each service.
1. How may full-time people will be required for COM 1 Chauffeur Services?
1 FTE is required
1. How may full-time people will be required for COM 2 Chauffeur Services?
1 FTE is required
1. How may full-time people will be required for Motorpool Dispatcher Services?
1 FTE is required
1. How may full-time people will be required for Driver Services?
1 FTE is required
1. How may full-time people will be required for Mechanic Services?
1 FTE is required
1. Does the Embassy have any current or former employees with the necessary competence and experience, whom the Embassy wishes to recommend upon contract award?
There is an existing contract for the subject services. As with any solicitation to renew an existing contract, offerors may be able to retain previous contractor employees. That negotiation is between the offeror and the current contract holder and their employees.
