Yes, submission may be two pages as long as the overall submittal meets the 120 page limit for the SF330 Submission.

“Each sheet of paper (front and back) in the submission will be counted as two pages.” Since this is an electronic submittal may we assume this statement does not apply?

Yes. Since this is an electronic submission, the statement does not apply.

Project Requirements stated in Factor 2 and Factor 3 Factor 2 states, “Using the A/E IDIQ Tasks included in sources sought notice, provide a description of five relevant, recent projects, with clients, for which the team members provided a significant technical contribution. Work on these projects must have been in the last five years (2016– 2021).

Indicate how each project is relevant to the A/E IDIQ Tasks described.” Contradicts with Factor 3 which states, “in Part I, Section H, provide relevant and recent (the past five years, 2016 ‐ 2021) Past Performance information for a minimum of 5 examples and no more than 10 examples of work related to the A/E IDIQ tasks listed in this request for SF330s.”.

Engineer(s) – Shall have a minimum of 10 years experience as an automatic transport designer.

Shall be knowledgeable in all phases of materials handling, automatic transport systems, specifications and costs. Shall have a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Health Care, Industrial

Management, or related field. Please define “automatic transport system” and/or identify what is being transported (raw materials, finished goods, or people). Also state the environment or application – indoors or outdoors. Automated transport is the new field of moving people via unmanned vehicles, with automated material handling an existing technology.

The term “automatic transport” is confusing as is.

The definition includes, but is not limited to, a wide range of lifts or conveyance systems that move materials and/or people that are found in or near modern healthcare environments both indoors and out. This may include elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators, patient lifts, dock levelers, autonomous cart moving or package delivery systems, vehicle maintenance lifts, pneumatic tube systems, laundry or trash chute systems, trash compactors, etc.

Human‐Machine Interface are you anticipating? Fully automated with fully automated process regulation and emergency stops? Fully automated with a human operator monitoring and regulating the process? Primarily a human

The presumption is incorrect. The types and ranges of systems may vary widely from project to project but would typically involve those found in or near modern healthcare environments and include conveyance or transport of both people and/or material. As operation with the aid of automation?

indicated in the RFI 27 response, these can range from completely autonomous, such as a robotic cart moving or package delivery system, to a traditional elevator where human beings press a button to move between floors.
