RFQ# 19PM0725Q0013 – NEC - Chancery Window Cleaning Service

Question and Answer

1. Can we work with high-rise saddle equipment? It's not the same as hoof lifts.

Answer: No, this kind of equipment required certify anchor that are not installed in the building.

2. I just have a question about the DBA Insurance. Does this insurance have to be of a minimum amount? Example x % of the total services? or any amount per collaborator? and it just includes life insurance?

Answer: Since DBA is an insurance related to the risk of the activity, the country to perform and the number of direct workers doing the service, this insurance could vary depending on your company.

3. Our Insurance Advisor isn't asking if the DBA INSURANCE requires a specific amount or special wording?

Answer: No, DBA insurance companies analyze different factors from your company and set an amount depending on the information you share to them, for example the country of service performance, service risk, manpower and so on.

4. I would like to ask you which email address should we send the financial proposal to, or should we do it through a platform?

Answer: All the information regarding this solicitation is posted in SAM.gov, if you would like to participate, please check the requirements in the following link:

5. We are writing to ask you to please provide us with a list of BDA insurance companies, as this is the only requirement we need to complete. We have attempted to contact several insurers we found online but have not received a response. Additionally, we would appreciate it if you could tell us if the insurance must meet a specific amount or any other specific requirement.

Answer: The offeror may obtain insurance directly from any Department of Labor approved providers at the DOL website at: http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm

No, DBA insurance companies analyze different factors from your company and set an amount depending on the information you share to them, for example the country of service performance, service risk, manpower and so on.
