The following question was received by interested vendors. The answer follows the question:

1. What are the Total number of assets that need to be inventoried? B.3 Price/Cost Schedule lists 16,000 assets in the description, however the number of units (quantity) states 27,000 assets. Please clarify if you would.

Answer: line items 0001, 0004, 0007, 0010 & 0013 are corrected to eliminate the words “(APROX. 16000 ITEMS)” AND READ AS FOLLOW:

1. B.3 Price/Cost Schedule lists 2,700 assets as Equipment not in the VA Asset Management System, Maximo. Is this the correct number of assets we should expect to add to the database during the inventory, or should we expect a 10% increase on total number of assets we will be inventorying?

Answer: 2700 is an estimate

1. Is there a Capitalization threshold for the assets (i.e. only assets $5,000 and above we will be inventorying)?

Answer: No

1. What is the estimated percentage of total assets that have complete information filled out and are already barcoded?

Answer: 27,000

1. Section 7-Reporting VII details doorjambs. Are scan-able, barcoded doorjambs how location information is captured?

Answer: No

1. Could you please detail the exact paperwork we must provide for a complete submission to the RFQ? Does it need to be in any particular order/format?

1. B.3 Statement of Work 2. General Requirements lists (9) locations/sites that we will be inventorying. Is the number of buildings and/or the gross SF for each site available?

Answer: The total square footage for all locations combined does not exceed 2 million square feet.

1. Could you please clarify what the quantities are in the solicitation? For the 27,000 EA, does that mean there will be 27,000 lines inventoried or 27,000 inventories to be conducted?

Answer: estimated 27000 items.

Answer: The approximate equipment groupings and amounts are: Facilities 800, high tech medical 11,000, Information technology 6,000, and general personal property 9,200.

1. What is the approximate total asset count? (we see the "27,000" in the price schedule but cannot infer if this is the approximate asset total count) Answer: The approximate asset total count is 27,000, with an estimate of 2700 items to be identified, inventoried, and barcoded.

1. Among the nine sites listed that are within the scope of inventory, what is the approximate disposition for assets at each location? (i.e. 15,000 at main building, 3,000 per auxiliary building, etc.)

Answer: No, you should not price for replacement bar codes.

1. Can a site-visit occur pre-bid?

Answer: Yes, a site visit can occur and must be coordinated with the CO and the COR.

1. if I bid on the referenced wall-to-wall inventory will my bid be considered?
