QUESTION 1:

Does the bid need to be all in one for 1st year and 4 options? Or does it need to be split up into 1st year, Option 1,2,3,4 and laid out as such?

ANSWER 1:

The quote will be evaluated by the total price. However, the quote must be broken down by CLIN.

The CLIN series is split up into the Base Year, then Option years 1, 2, 3, and 4. There is a Quote Matrix in Excel attached to this amendment that might help.

In this amendment, the instruction for quoting are updated to reflect more common practice.

QUESTION 2:

Is this a fixed price bid, as a whole, or are we bidding on a price for every time we go in and perform PM?

ANSWER 2:

Should be quoted as a whole, to provide operable equipment for the period of performance for each year.

QUESTION 3:

If a repair is to be made, will the costs of repairs be covered with our bid, or do we bill for such Repairs

ANSWER 3:

It is a fixed price, to be paid evenly on a monthly basis. Your prices should consider scheduled and unscheduled repairs to the equipment. The idea is that if the scheduled repairs are properly scheduled and performed well, there should be no or minimal unscheduled repairs.

QUESTION 4:

In regards to the "Hybrids Room"... On the sheet, the equipment is listed as Hitachi. Is there any scheduled maintenance for the Beacon Meds equipment attached to those compressors?

ANSWER 4:

A draft updated list is attached to this amendment. It has more information than the original list. If and when more updates are available, they will be posted. No further extensions to the quote submission deadline is anticipated.
