Solicitation No. 2018-N-67782, Operations and Maintenance of National Institute of Occupational

Safety and Health Sites at the Pittsburgh PA, Morgantown WV, and Spokane WA Research

Facilities

1. RFP Section B CLIN 0003 SCRM Mine Support Pittsburgh, PA – are the quantities and periods of performance correct?

Yes.

2. RFP Section L. 6 (Proposal Format) and L.8 (Business Proposal Instructions) – there is a significant amount of administrative information requested for the Business Proposal Volume. Can the 25 page limit be relaxed for this volume, or can the administrative data be attached and not included in the page count?

Section L.8 has been removed and replaced in response to question 5.

3. RFP Section B CLINs – CLINs are established in Firm Fixed Price (FFP) unit prices of months or a year. Can all units be established as months to support consistent invoicing?

Yes. CLIN “units” will be displayed in months.

4. RFP Section B CLINs and undefined expenses (examples SOW Section C.3 – Minor Alterations and C.15 –

Replacement Parts Programs & Acquisition of Supplies) – this is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with

FFP CLINs. CLINs are established for consistent service delivery. There will be situations where expenses for unique events such as minor alterations and parts replacement have not been accounted for in the normal service delivery. Can an additional CLIN be added for each location to accommodate any individual and as-needed items similar to a purchase order rather than a CLIN modification to current delivery?

Please see the updated Parts, Materials, and Services.

5. RFP L.8.c Cost Data Information – the requirements for the proposal pricing appear to be more appropriate for a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) or Award Fee (CPAF) rather than a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) request. Can the Section B CLIN schedule be completed with a price development discussion rather than the level of pricing detail typically reserved for a CPFF or CPAF contract bid?

Section L.8 has been updated in light of this question. Please review.

6. Can the work Order History for each Site for previous 12 months be provided as a reference?

Please see attachment J.21.

7. The RFP indicates Travel to other mine/site locations may be needed in support of SRCM activities. Is travel to other mine/site locations reimbursable?

Travel will no longer be required.

8. Can the Asset Inventory be provided in Excel Spreadsheet format?

Please see attachment J.23.

9. Is there currently a CMMS utilized at each of the facilities?

CMMS is utilized in Pittsburgh and Morgantown but not currently Spokane.

10. The format of Section B does not appear to be aligned with a firm fixed price contracting vehicle. There are no CLINS for hourly labor for reimbursable regular and overtime work.

This is a firm fixed priced contract. There will not be any cost reimbursement. The solicitation has been updated in section L.8 for the amount of overtime to price into the FFP clin’s per site.

11. CLINS 0003 for corresponding options. The CLINS would appear to be inconsistent with the C.17 requirement for two (2) FTE's. Please clarify.

The SCRM requirement has been updated.

12. The period of performance for CLINs 00304 and 00305 do not appear to be in sequence with CLIN

00303. Please validate the period of performance.

These period are correctly listed.

See Attachment J.17 Major Subcontractors List.

14. C.3. Is test and maintenance of the fire detection and alarm system, the water-based fire suppression system, the non-water-based fire suppression system, and the portable fire extinguishers governed by the NFPA standards?

20. C.3. Is assistance in motor pool operations required in Morgantown? If motor pool operations are required in Morgantown, please provide the annual labor hours expended.

No. It is not.

21. C.3 Assistance in warehouse services appears to be limited to Morgantown in one paragraph. In a subsequent paragraph assistance in warehouse operations (inventory and moving materials between warehouses and local buildings) includes both Pittsburgh and Morgantown. Please clarify the warehouse services requirement and provide the annual labor hours expended at each location.

Section C.18 describes the limited scope of activities specifically detailed for Morgantown, WV.

General Maintenance Workers in Morgantown may assist the federal FTE’s in this function, and the incumbents in Spokane perform the functions. Examples – tear down, put up a wall. Install a new receptacle, install a new door…etc.

23. C.3. The current specification for Minor Alterations is too open-ended for the firm fixed price portion of the contract. We recommend that Minor Alterations be assigned to the reimbursable portion of the contract. If fixed pricing is desired, please define the labor categories involved and establish an annual or monthly limit to the hours the contractor is expected to expend.

See Above. With the additional recommended Parts, Materials, and Services budget FFP CLIN format, these would be on an as needed basis and approved in advance by the engineers. These actions would come from this budget.

24. C.3.I versus J.13. C.3.1 provides that"** Preventive Maintenance and repair shall exclude items covered under the CDC NIOSH energy efficiency and upgrade project. A list of equipment excluded shall be provided as an attachment in section J." J.13 specifies that the contractor is responsible for maintenance of equipment installed under the various ECMs of the ESPC. Please clarify the responsibility for maintenance of the ESPC equipment.

Inland Elevator does there annual service and after all discrepancies are corrected.

33. C.5(3). In Pittsburgh and Spokane, is central station monitoring of the elevator telephones required? If so, please identify the current monitor, and who is responsible for the phone lines?

This is performed by the site security contractor.

34. C.9.a. Will the contractor be reimbursed for replacement of GFE equipment?

This should be counted against the supply budget. The contractor may request that the Government purchase equipment. If the contractor is requesting any equipment to begin the contract that it wishes the Government to purchase at the start of the contract, it should include it in an assumptions area of the proposal. GFE request is at time of proposal only and will be considered during proposal evaluation process.

35. C.9.a. If it is approved to rent tools and equipment for a specific requirement, will the cost be reimbursed to the contractor?

The current contractor utilizes GSA fleet vehicles. As a FFP contract is considered, that will not be an option. The Government does provide two electric vehicles, a Kubota and, a Jeep Patriot as GFE.

38. C.15. We have several questions regarding this paragraph:

a. Are parts, materials, and supplies necessary for maintenance and repair provided by the government or reimbursable to the contractor?

Please see section L.8. The proposed budget for parts, materials, and supplies should not exceed the stated amount per year for both Pittsburgh and Spokane sites.

b. If not, does the $3,500 threshold establish a limit to the contractor's financial responsibility for parts, materials, and supplies? – See Above.

c. If the $3,500 threshold establishes a limit to the contractor's responsibility for parts materials, and supplies, is the contractor reimbursed for the total amount of parts, materials, and supplies, or just the amount over the $3,500 threshold? – See Above.

d. Is there any limit to the contractor's responsibility for labor under the contract? For instance, should a centralized air conditioning system need to be replaced, and the work has to be performed after hours, will the contractor be reimbursed for the OT labor? Is there any point at which the contractor's labor is reimbursed?

Please review the updated section L.8 to see the NTE OT hour budget amount. Once the OT amount has been used, a supplemental modification would be considered. In the example above, the Government would most likely contract through another vehicle for work of that nature. This would be discussed with the contractor and COR.

e. Similarly, if repair or replacement requires a specialty subcontractor, is there any point at which the contractor will be reimbursed for the subcontracted labor.

This is a firm fixed priced contract. The Government reserves the right to purchase services, equipment, or materials, and supply these to the Vendor or negotiate a modification increase to the Parts, Materials, and Services budget.
