Time: 09:30 AM Solicitation Number: 19GT5026Q0007

Attendees: Pedro Arizandieta – Maintenance Operations Supervisor Zayda Serech – Contracting Agent

The Contract Agent, Zayda Serech, welcomed all attendees and introduced the FAC Representant.

Agenda:

• Welcome to attendees

• Review of solicitation package

• Walking and inspection of the working areas and access

• Questions and answers

• Reminder of offer documentation and submission due date/time

Discussion of the solicitation package:

The Contracting Agent presented the solicitation package to the attendees and went section by section explaining the requirements and pointing out important data or requirements of the solicitation.

Questions and answers:

Questions from attendees were compiled during the visit. We informed the attendees that all questions and answers would be sent for review to the Residential Engineer & Project Coordinator. Conference attendees were notified that these questions and answers along with the meeting minutes would be posted in SAM.gov site so that other vendors are not disadvantaged for being unable to attend the Site Visit.

Conclusion:

Prospective offerors were reminded that doing business with the U.S. Government differs from commercial practice because the solicitation and award processes are regulated under the FAR.

Attendees were reminded that any statements made during the site visit do not change the solicitation and that any changes would be made by written amendment to the solicitation and posted on the SAM.gov site. The conference concluded and attendees were thanked for their presence and expression of interest in serving the U.S. Government.

Sincerely, Beau P. Garrett Contracting Officer
