Questions
| Question # | Reference | Question Category | Question | Responses |
| 1 | N/A | General | We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number? | BPA # 2031ZA21A00011 |
| 2 | RFQ Section H7, Page(s)__11___, Attachment 1, Section 1.6.8 and 1.6.8.1 | SF1449 | We have interpreted that [contracor] personnel will not be required to access the BEP facilities and therefore background checks will not apply. If the [contractor] team needs to have background check, which provision applies - H7 and the PWS conflict as to when the application is to be submitted - at time of quote or in accordance with H7? | The contractor personnel will not be required to access the BEP facilities. Section H7 and PWS section 1.6.8 has been removed. PWS Section 1.6.8.1 has been modified to remove background check requirements. |
| 3 | RFQ Section _ Attachment 1 – PWS, TECHNICAL EXHIBIT 2 – DELIVERABLES | Performance of Work: Active Vehicle Barrier Maintenance | The PWS requires that the Contractor shall submit Certificate of Destruction (3 copies) no later than 3 days after destruction of securities to the COR and the submit the Weigh-in and Weigh-out Receipts on the day of destruction to COR. We typically will provide to the BEP personnel a hard copy of the Certificate of Destruction and the Weigh in/out receipt when the work has been completed. Will this practice satisfy the requirement or does the BEP require a separate submission. | The deliverables have been updated to reduce required copies to one (1) at the completion of work no later than the close of business on destruction day. |

The bid instructions seem to indicate that the QCP is to be submitted with the proposal as subfactor 4 in technical approach. I assume given the page limitation that the proposal should contain a summary with the full QCP plan submitted after award? Please confirm. | The RFQ has been updated to clarify that the QCP submitted with the qoute as subfactor 4, is a summary QCP. Full QCP is is to be submitted within 30 days of award. |
