Joshua Kovar Contracting Officer

Questions:

1. PWS states that "Normal routine services will occur once a week on Wednesdays during the following timeframes: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. It is expected that the Contractor be on site and perform work on these days and hours." Can the Government confirm whether the technician is required to remain on site for the full 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. window each Wednesday, or whether routine service may be completed at any time within that window?

A. Service is to be completed within that window of time.

2. The PWS for this solicitation reflects a significant expansion from a structural IPM program to a full campus wide IPM program, including the addition of mosquito control, an extensive list of bird species and wildlife trapping (groundhogs, gophers, snakes, and rabbits) - none of which were included in the previous PWS. Can the Government confirm whether this expanded scope of services was factored into the market research conducted for this requirement?

A. Yes, the expanded scope of services was factored into the market research conducted.

3. Can the Government confirm that CLINs 0002AA, 0002AB, and 0002AC (and their option-year equivalents 1002AA-AC, 2002AA-AC, 3002AA-AC, and 4002AA-AC) are sub-CLINs under CLIN 0002 (Additional Services, Normal Business Hours)?

A. CLIN 0002 is a non-priced primary line. The quantity of months is for the period of performance, not the quantity of services requested.

5. Can the Government confirm that CLINs 0003AA, 0003AB, and 0003AC (and their option-year equivalents 1003AA-AC, 2003AA-AC, 3003AA-AC, and 4003AA-AC) are sub-CLINs under CLIN 0003 (Additional Services, Nights and Weekends)?

6. If so, can the Government confirm that CLIN 0003 is a non-priced primary line, and that the quantity "12.00" and unit "MO" should be removed so that pricing is entered only at the sub-CLIN level?

A. CLIN 0003 is a non-priced primary line. The quantity of months is for the period of performance, not the quantity of services requested.

8. Can the government provide how many bird service requests have occurred in the past 12 months?

Management Services?

A. Yes, the pest bird management is inclusive in the fixed pricing.

Can the Government provide the approximate square footage or acreage of the areas requiring mosquito surveillance and larval control?

A. Approximate acreage is approximately 31 acres, we have no retention ponds. Additionally,

17. Must the SDVOSB prime contractor independently hold a current Michigan pest-control business license at the time of quotation submission, or may this requirement be satisfied through a properly licensed Michigan pest-control subcontractor?

A. The PWS requires that the prime and any/all subcontractors performing pest control duties to hold a current Michigan pest-control business license. This cannot be satisfied solely by a subcontractor’s license.

18. May the requirement for the prime contractor to “directly employ” a licensed and certified pesticide applicator be satisfied through personnel employed by a proposed major subcontractor?

19. May a properly licensed local subcontractor provide the on-site staffing necessary to meet the weekly service schedule, two-hour emergency response requirement, and eight-hour non-emergency response requirement?

A. A subcontractor may provide this staffing, as long as (a) the subcontractor independently holds current Michigan pest-control business licensing as required by the PWS, (b) the prime's directly-employed applicator identified in Question 2 maintains the required oversight/certification role, and (c) the prime remains the responsible party for ensuring all response-time and schedule requirements in the PWS are met.

20. May the three required past-performance references or PPQs include relevant contracts performed by a proposed major subcontractor, or must all three references belong directly to the prime offeror?

A. Past Performance is evaluated as a predictor of the prime contractor’s ability to manage/perform and be accountable for performance, not merely as a predictor of technical performance.

Subcontractor references will not be accepted as substitutes for the prime’s own record.

21. Could you please let us know if a site visit can be arranged before the proposal deadline and provide your available dates and times?

Site Visit Information

It is strongly suggested and expected that the offeror inspects the campuses to be serviced to fully understand the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. In no case shall failure to inspect the campus constitute grounds for a claim after contract award. A site visit is not a requirement to offer a quote. The Government has allocated the following Date/Times for site visits. All prospective quoters shall check in with Police Services to obtain a visitor’s badge. All prospective quoters shall follow Covid Protocols as directed by VA / CDC guidance. All times below are EST.

22. Can you please confirm whether a small business that is not an SDVOSB or VOSB is eligible to submit a quotation?

The Veterans Preference evaluation factor was added to this solicitation in error. Under the Administrative section of the Quote Preparation Instructions, a deliverable — Veteran-Owned Business Status (if applicable) — required SDVOSB and VOSB concerns to submit documentation confirming current SDVOSB/VOSB status for purposes of Veterans Preference. Because this requirement is set aside for SDVOSB concerns, Veterans Preference does not apply as an evaluation factor.

The Government is hereby removing all references to Veterans Preference as an evaluation factor from the Quote Preparation Instructions, FAR 52.212-2 (Evaluation — Basis of Award), and any other clause or section of this solicitation where it appears.

This requirement remains an SDVOSB set-aside. Small businesses that do not hold current SBA-certified SDVOSB status are ineligible for award.
