QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTION 1:

Are there any markup documents for the Primary places of performance buildings listed in Table 1 of the solicitation?

Those can be provided for each task order if needed upon award.

QUESTION 2:

Is this an ongoing project spanning multiple months/years?

No, this is task order based on small one-time service-based contract, not new construction.

It has many VA locations so I assume this would be at different VA locations.

Yes, this is a multi-campus AOR.

Do you want a total for all materials and work to be completed or do you need all line items priced as well.

Invoicing will be task order based on agreed upon B.2 Price/Cost Schedule awarded. Please provide pricing/estimates for each CLIN/subCLIN for technical evaluation.

It says The guaranteed minimum for the fiscal year in which the contract was awarded shall be $25,000.00.

Correct. See C.3 52.216-22 INDEFINITE QUANTITY (NOV 2025) (DEVIATION)

The total maximum amount of services acquired under this contract shall not exceed $2,000,000.00. Is this the SDVOSB set-aside range as well? .

BUSINESSES (JAN 2023) (DEVIATION)

QUESTION 3:

1. Is there an incumbent contractor performing this scope today?

Yes. If yes, can the government identify the firm, the contract/PO number, and award value? Contract No. 36C24821D0074, $998,529.89

2. Can the Government release historical task-order volume by CLIN line item (or by year) for the prior 24–36 months so quoters can validate the estimated quantities listed in Section B.2

Estimated quantities are listed in the price schedule of the solicitation.

Estimated quantities are not required only cost per item number. Historically the majority of work consisted of adding additional data drops in facilities. Sometimes fiber optic cabling was needed. Less often coaxial cable was needed, primarily for TVs. And seldom are other listed CLINs needed.

3. What is the historical mix of "regular scheduled" vs "emergency 24-hour response" work orders?

Historically 99% regular scheduled and 1% emergency.

4. CLIN 0001AA references "2ea data <=300' into 4-port plate with jacks/blanks" — does the quantity (e.g., 50 EA) reflect drops (each = 1 plate with 2 cables) or individual cables? Please confirm the unit-of-issue interpretation across all 0001/0002/0004 CLINs.

As described quote labor/materials for listed task. Do not quote quantities. (0001 = OP1, 0002 = OP2, etc.)_

5. For fiber CLINs 0004AA–AJ priced per "100-foot increment," should the unit price assume one full splice/termination event per increment, or are terminations priced separately?

Final adjusted invoiced quantity will be based on footage with terminations included. (eg: 400’ invoiced as: 4ea. 0004AA-AJ). Provide pricing for listed task’s labor/materials.

6. CLIN 0005 "Minor Electrical" — what is the maximum scope considered "minor" (e.g., circuit additions, panel work, voltage limit)? Will work requiring a State of Florida Electrical Contractor's license be in scope, and if so, must the prime hold it?

Minor electrical work consists of installation of conduits/pathways only, needed for additions and/or rough ins of data/voice cabling. No voltage applicable. All electrical work shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

7. Are pre-terminated trunk cables, modular cassettes, or factory MPO assemblies considered "materials" billable at cost-plus, or are they assumed included in the firm-fixed unit prices?

Invoicing under negotiated B.2 Price/Cost Schedule table should be the normal.

Deviations can be negotiated via quotes prior to start of work via quotes.

8. Are racks, cabinets, vertical/horizontal cable managers, ladder rack, and grounding bus bars within scope? If so, under which CLIN should they be priced?

The majority of this infrastructure is already installed. If not, then quotes can be negotiated prior to starting work.

9. Will the contractor be required to remove and dispose of abandoned cable per NEC 800.25, and if so, under which CLIN?

Yes, OP1=1001AE, OP2=2001AE, etc.

QUESTION 4:

1. CLIN 1001AA – CAT6A Cable Drop Please confirm that this item is intended to be CAT6A cabling, not CAT6.

Confirmed CAT6A.

Also, please confirm this line item is for two CAT6A data cables only, installed into a 4-port faceplate with jacks/blanks, and not the prior 4-cable configuration.

Confirmed. Adjusted quantity on final invoicing can be applied as needed (ex: 2ea, 1001AA if 4ea. cables are needed), etc. This is to standardize invoicing.

2. CLIN 1001AB – Expansion of Existing Cable Drop Please confirm whether the added cables under this item are to be CAT6 or CAT6A.

Additionally, please clarify how this item differs from CLIN 1001AA, since both appear to include two data cables.

One includes minor conduit <20’ rough-in; and the other does not and utilizes existing pathways. Each task may vary thus 2 different sub-CLINs. Cost for existing pathway utilization should obviously be lower.

3. CLIN 1003AA – Category 6 Patch Panel Please confirm whether this item is intended to include one 48-port Category 6 patch panel, installation labor, termination, labeling, and testing.

Confirmed.

4. Is there a preferred or required manufacturer/brand for the patch panel?

Match existing brand at site.

5. CLIN 1003AA – CAT6A Patch Panel Since multiple cable drops are specified as CAT6A, should there also be a separate line item for a CAT6A patch panel, or should bidders include CAT6A patch panel pricing under CLIN 1003AA where CAT6A cabling is required?

Provide pricing for CAT6A

6. CLINs 1004AA through 1004AF – Fiber Strand Count Please clarify whether these line items are intended to be priced as 12-strand fiber or 24-strand fiber. Since the material and labor requirements differ significantly, should separate line items be provided for 12-strand and 24-strand fiber?

Provide general average pricing. Actual invoicing may vary dependent upon quantity/type utilized for task.

7. CLINs 1004AA through 1004AF – Fiber Scope Please confirm whether each 100-foot increment includes cable, installation, termination at both ends, connectors, labeling, and testing/certification.

Provide pricing task as listed. Final invoicing will adjust quantity based on footage with terminations included. (eg: 400’ invoiced as: 4ea. 0004AA-AJ).

8. CLIN 1004AG – Air-Blown Fiber Please clarify whether this line item is intended for single mode, multimode, or either based on task order requirements. If either is acceptable, should bidders provide one blended price or should separate single mode and multimode pricing be provided?

Please provide one blended price. Single or Multimode and quantity will depend on the tasking.

9. CLIN 1006AA – RG6 Quad Shield Drop Please confirm whether this item includes full installation, termination, faceplate/adaptor, blanks, labeling, and testing for one RG6 drop.

Correct.

10. CLIN 1006AB – RG11 Quad Shield Drop Please confirm whether this item includes full installation, termination, connectors, labeling, and testing for one RG11 drop.

Correct.

11. CLIN 1009AA – Emergency Service Call Please clarify the expected scope of this line item. Is this intended to cover only the emergency service call/dispatch cost, or should it include labor, materials, troubleshooting, and repair time? If labor and materials are not included, will those be billed under the applicable contract line items?

Only the emergency service call/dispatch cost/rate. See also 12: Travel. Pg 70.

12. Section E, Submission of Quotes, Item 10(a) – Work Plan Please clarify whether the Government expects a separate “Work Plan” narrative in addition to past performance/experience documentation, or whether a combined technical approach and experience narrative is acceptable.

13. Section E, Submission of Quotes, Item 10(a) – Past Experience Recency Is there a required recency period for submitted past performance or experience examples, such as projects completed within the past three, five, or six years?

No but the most recent relevant experience is preferred.

14. Section E, Submission of Quotes, Item 10(a) – Prime and Subcontractor Experience Are quoters permitted to submit experience examples for both the prime contractor and proposed subcontractors, or will the Government evaluate only the prime contractor’s experience?

Both will be evaluated if provided.

15. Section E, Submission of Quotes, Item 10(b) – Veterans Involvement Please clarify whether quoters may also propose non-SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors, provided the quoter complies with all applicable SDVOSB/VOSB participation, limitations on subcontracting, and performance-of-work requirements.

All provided will be evaluated. Clarify in submittal package.

16. Section E, Submission of Quotes, Item 10(b) – SDVOSB/VOSB Subcontractors If a quoter does not intend to subcontract with an SDVOSB or VOSB, is a statement to that effect acceptable, or is use of SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors required?

The subcontractor does not need to be an SDVOSB/VOSB as long as it complies with the limitations on subcontracting as defined and stated in the solicitation clause C.8 VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on subcontracting.

17. SOW – Project Manager Requirement Please confirm whether resumes or named key personnel are required at the time of quote submission, or whether the contractor is only required to identify key personnel within 10 days after contract award.

Only required within 10 days after contract award.

18. SOW – On-Site Project Manager Requirement For small or short-duration task orders, will the on-site Project Manager requirement be satisfied by an on-site lead technician or alternate who is authorized to coordinate work and respond to the COR?

See para 15: Performance requirement summary. Pg. 72.

2. Do taxes apply to the materials?

Federal Tax Exemption applies.

3. CLINs 4AA through 4AF specifies a “12/24-strand” cable. Is the intent to provide a 12-strand cable with 24 connectors or (2) 12-strands (A/B paths)? Or possibly something else, please confirm.

Provide general average pricing. Actual invoicing may vary dependent upon quantity utilized for task. Please provide one blended price. Single or Multimode and quantity will depend on the tasking.

4. Why the use of LC connectors on CLIN 4AC and 4AD when all other CLINs (4AA, 4AB, 4AE and 4AF) are SC connectors?

Actual connectors will be dependent upon tasking. Provide general average pricing. Actual invoicing may vary dependent upon quantity utilized for task.

5. CLINs 4AB = OM3 and 4AE = OS1 have a quantity of 1. Were these (2) CLINs intended to be a quantity of 10, consistent with the other fiber run?

Provide blended pricing based on a 100’ run/drop.

QUESTION 6:

Site Visit / Site Conditions

1. Will the Government conduct a pre-quote site visit or site walk? If so, please provide the date, time, location, attendance requirements, and any registration instructions.

No

2. If no formal site visit will be conducted, will the Government provide representative site information, such as typical TR/IDF conditions, pathway availability, ceiling types, known access constraints, and representative photos?

Conditions vary site to site. Typical conditions can be discussed at kickoff meeting.

3. The solicitation references the Orlando VA main campus, outpatient clinics, associated clinics, and off-sites. Please provide the full list of anticipated performance locations, including addresses, building names/numbers, and clinic locations to be covered under this contract.

See page 57, Performance locations and hours

4. Are all performance locations covered by the same wage determination, or will different counties/locations require different wage determinations?

Federal owned facilities are Lake Nona, Lake Baldwin, Viera, Lakemont. Others are leased properties. See para 15 Performance requirement summary. Pg 71-76 and section C – Contract Clauses.

Price Schedule / CLIN Structure

5. Please confirm that offerors are expected to provide unit pricing for all base-year and option-year line items in Section B.2, including all sub-CLINs, Correct. and that the zero-dollar yearly summary CLINs should reflect the sum of the associated sub-CLIN extended totals.

Intended as header only. No summary needed.

6. Are the stated quantities in Section B.2 annual estimated quantities for each contract period, Standardized pricing is needed per task, quantities may vary per OP. or are they informational estimates only and not tied to actual anticipated yearly ordering volume?

Volume is always in flux. Provide pricing per task. Task order final invoicing will vary depending on task(s) and quantity(s).

7. Should offerors apply escalation independently to each option year, or is the Government expecting the same unit prices across the base and all option years?

This is a recommended good business practice.

8. For task orders containing multiple line items, will payment be based strictly on the awarded unit prices and actual accepted quantities installed/repaired/tested?

This is the intent of the contract.

9. The PWS states that the COR may request written estimates before task execution and that estimates must be firm-fixed-price based on the contract price schedule.

Correct, typical of tasks executed through this awarded contract. This is to allow for variations in pricing and or adjustments that may be need or for items not included or not in scope. Please confirm whether task estimates may combine multiple awarded CLINs/sub-CLINs to account for mobilization, pathway, cabling, testing, firestopping, and documentation requirements. Correct, combine invoice with applicable CLIN/sub-CLIN used per task order.

10. FAR 52.216-19 appears to state a minimum order threshold and maximum order limitations, including a maximum order for a single item and combination of items. Please clarify whether task orders are expected to be limited by those thresholds, and how the Government will handle work requests that exceed those amounts.

See section C – Contract Clauses

Mobilization, Site Access, and Escorts

11. Will contractor personnel require escorts to access TRs, IDFs, MDFs, ceiling spaces, clinical areas, or other restricted areas? No escort provided. All contracted/subcontracted personnel are required to obtain security clearances and badges needed to perform duties unescorted. If escorts are required, will escort delays or limited escort availability extend the required completion timeline?

12. Are lifts, ladders, carts, ceiling access tools, infection-control carts, HEPA carts, or other specialty access equipment expected to be contractor-furnished and included in unit pricing?

Contractor furnished. Can be stored on site for use when needed.

13. Are there known areas with restricted access, secure spaces, patient-care restrictions, limited working hours, or other constraints that should be priced into all unit rates?

Yes, recommend blended standard estimate. Unable to define as all sites have different unique constraints dependent upon location. Flexibility key to mission success. Some have interstitial access, some are drop lid, some are hard ceilings, most have cable tray though out. Variations and deviances can be discussed per task order.

Hours of Work / After-Hours / Emergency Response

15. The PWS states normal hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but repairs may be required after hours and/or weekends to minimize medical center impacts. Should offerors assume that after-hours, weekend, and holiday work is included in the base unit prices, or will those be separately authorized/priced at the task-order level?

Yes, recommend blended standard estimate. Unable to define as all sites have different unique constraints dependent upon location. Weekend, after hour, or holiday work is often required, flexibility is key to mission success.

The PWS specifically notes after-hours and weekend work may be required and that emergency response shall not exceed 24 hours.

Correct but normal scheduled work load is 99% of time and emergent workload is 1% of time historically that is.

16. Please clarify whether “emergency response” means arrival onsite within 24 hours, start of work within 24 hours, or completion of work within 24 hours.

Typically start within 24 hours however sooner is better if emergent response is required.

17. The line-item description appears to reference “Emergency Service Call – 24HR Response,” while the sub-line item text appears to state “Emergency Service Call >24hr response.” Please clarify the intended response requirement and whether this is a typographical error.

Intended for invoice of man hours at emergent labor rate. Other CLINs/Sub-CLINs used for task required.

18. For emergency service calls, should the unit price include only the service call/mobilization, or should it include a defined number of labor hours, troubleshooting, materials, testing, and closeout documentation?

Invoice manhours on Intended for invoice of man hours at emergent labor rate. Other CLINs/Sub- CLINs used for task required.

19. For work outside normal hours, are overtime labor premiums to be included in the applicable unit rates, YES or will after-hours work be separately priced/authorized?

See 12. Travel. (N/A) All travel shall be at contractor cost. No trip charges or fees shall be associated with any invoice.

Pathway, Conduit, Firestopping, and Existing Conditions

20. Several line items include “existing pathways” and/or “up to 20 feet of conduit/raceway.”

Please confirm that where additional pathway, conduit, raceway, wireway, J-hooks, sleeves, or rough-in beyond the included allowance is required, the contractor may price those using the applicable minor electrical/pathway line items.

Correct, or increase quantities.

21. If existing pathways are unavailable, congested, non-compliant, above capacity, inaccessible, or otherwise unusable, will the Government allow additional line items or task-specific pricing to cover new pathway installation?

This is what separate quote is intended for to allow for variances when applicable. However the standardized pricing model agreed upon should be used to fullest extent possible.

22. Are destructive investigations, ceiling tile removal/replacement, wall fishing, drywall repair, painting, patching, or architectural restoration included in the unit prices, or will those be Government-provided or separately authorized?

These will typically be government provided but sometimes may be separately authorized.

23. For core drilling/concrete penetrations, will the Government provide existing utility/as-built information, structural approvals, infection-control approvals, and penetration permits before work starts?

Yes coordinate with COR when applicable.
