Contractor Questions/Government Answers

1. Can you point me in the right direction for the bid results and previous RFP for the last time this contract went out for bid?

Government Answer – To clarify this is a Request for Quote (RFQ) in accordance with FAR Part 13 procedures. The last time the requirement was solicited, an RFQ was issued in accordance with FAR Part 13 procedures.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) indicates the procurement will be awarded following FAR Part 15 procedures AND THAT IS NOT WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED FOR THIS CONTRACT NOR THE ONE CURRENTLY IN EXISTANCE.

The previous contracts were issued in 2 separate actions one for the Bowling Campus and one for the Sousley Campus as outlined below:

On October 1, 2017, contract VA249-18-C-10314 was awarded to Johnson Controls Inc having a total contract value of $173,604.00 for services at the Sousley campus only. The contract will expire on 09/30/2022.

On October 1, 2017, contract VA249-18-C-10312 was awarded to Johnson Controls Inc having a total contract value of $270,600.00 for services at the Bowling campus only. The contract will expire on 09/30/2022.

2. Who is the incumbent contractor?

Government Answer – Johnson Controls, Inc.

3. What was the previous award amount or contract number?

Government Answer – Please see the answer to question #1 above.

4. Steven mentioned cleaning cooling towers as part of the preventative maintenance at the bowling site but said he didn’t think he added it to the solicitation. After reviewing the contract again, I do not see any mention of this. Any clarification on this matter will be greatly appreciated?

Government Answer – Cleaning Cooling Towers is not a requested service to be included in this contract and was mentioned in error.
