36C10A20Q0082 Amendment 0002 May 8, 2020

Questions and Answers

1. Page 30, paragraph 2; “In 2019 there were a total of 133 service requests, which included both onsite visits and shipping IRDs to the site.”

QUESTION: Could the VAKN provide the total number of service requests in the years 2017 and 2018?

Answer: No.

QUESTION: Could the VAKN provide the breakdown and/or estimates of the service requests? How many service requests were (1) shipping of IRDs to the sites and (2) how may service requests were onsite visits? Please provide for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, if available.

Answer: (1) In 2019, there were five service requests related to shipping IRDs.

(2) In 2019, 75 were onsite visits.

Data for 2017 and 2018 is not provided.

2. Page 39, 5.3.1 PLANNING; paragraph 1, line 2: “…Contractor shall have 10 business days to contact the site POC, conduct a site survey, and deliver a Site Survey Report….”

QUESTION: Will there be a CLIN Number added to the Cost Schedule to cover the Site Survey deliverables?

Answer: The Site Survey deliverables shall be inclusive to the cost of the respective CLIN (X005, X006 or X007).

3. Page 44, 5.3.4 WARRANTY REPORTS; paragraph 2, line 1: “A master warranty report listing make, model, IRD UA number, serial number, warranty start and end dates for each site.”

QUESTION: Upon contract award, will the VAKN provide the current master warranty report to the Contractor?

Answer: The list can be provided upon contract award, with the number of IRD’s, LNB’s and their serial numbers. They have no warranty, per se. Typically, there’s a one-year warranty with purchase, however, these IRD’s were purchased 3 years ago.

4. On CLIN#0002 we will insert our monthly amount for standard service request.

CLIN#0003 is asking for a daily rate based on 5.2.1.5. Is CLIN#0003 for nonstandard service calls or is this used for all on site visits in addition to the monthly amount on

CLIN#0002? The way it reads is, if we have calls that are out of the normal service then we use this CLIN#0003 to quote our time on site for visit that goes outside of the normal scope of work for CLIN#0002. Is this correct?

Answer: The last statement is correct. If the service request requires an onsite visit, CLIN 0003 will be used. CLIN 0003 is for all onsite visits for service requests and this is in addition to CLIN 0002.

5. With regards to OSHA 10. Is this only required when the VA facility request it or is it required of all techs or only required when a facility request it?

Answer: This is required only when roof access is required. Any tech that will be working on a roof shall have the training.
