Question and Answer Sheet for QEI Test Witnessing

Question: Is this a brand-new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could a current/previous contract number be provided?

Answer: New contract; can only answer questions about current project; and cannot give away past projects, past vendor awardees, or IGE’s.

Question: (Regarding section 1.13 Insurance) I have never had E&O or liability insurance and it has never been required before.

Answer: This section was added in error. This solicitation does not meet the full prescription of FAR 28.309 and FAR 28.130, thus the clauses at FAR 52.228-3 and FAR 52.228-5 will not be inserted. Section 1.13 will be removed from the SOW and the solicitation will be updated.

Question: For section 1.13 in SOW (proper insurance). If our firm is using a subcontractor, are we able to use their insurance?

Answer: This section was added in error. This solicitation does not meet the full prescription of FAR 28.309 and FAR 28.130, thus the clauses at FAR 52.228-3 and FAR 52.228-5 will not be inserted. Section 1.13 will be removed from the SOW and the solicitation will be updated.

Question: I noticed that you have listed the work as Cat 1 testing… Answer: The solicitation should include Cat 5 as well. This is a typo in section 1.1 of the SOW. Section 1.1 will be edited to include mention of the Cat 5 test witnessing. Sections 2.1 and 2.2 did already mention Cat 1 and Cat 5 correctly.
