Questions to RFQ 36C25622Q1421

1. What was the cost of the final full option year of the previous contract?

The overall total of the previous contract was $173,250.00. However, there is a change in services requested. The previous contract was for M-F 8:30a-4:00p. This contract is for after normal business hours, as needed.

2. How many drivers/vehicles are currently used to service the current contract?

Possibly one or two drivers using the same vehicle; not certain.

3. What is the vehicle size currently servicing this location?

The vehicle is a mid-sized sedan.

4. What are the approximate number of trips/approximate yearly total for all on-call trips between all facilities (STAT runs)?

The approximate number of trips is 900 per year.

5. Do you accept CPARs evaluations as additional Past Performance information?

Per the solicitation, is it required that Past Performance References and Past Performance Questionnaires be submitted to the Contracting Officer, via email, on or before the due date/time.

6. Will this RFQ’s due date be extended? Due to the amount of requirements and short turnaround time.

The RFQ due date will be extended through 09/02/2022.

7. Regarding specific employees information: It is common practice for small businesses that the drivers, cars and other equipment used for a contract are not sourced until after an award has been made, for cost effectiveness and to reduce loss. However, we will be forwarding our standard Training Certificates-Procedures for your reference, is this information acceptable?

Yes.

8. Regarding evaluation factors for the price Volume: we usually like to provide a “Pricing realism” cost break-down, to include SCA minimum per year, the number of drivers, hours and miles that are estimated to be required for performance, and other costs. Is it acceptable that we forward this Pricing Realism chart with our Price response?

The government cannot take a position of advising an offeror on what it should or should not include in their quotes.
