QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. The solicitation specifies 4 buildings to be sampled(80 samples), but no Cooling Towers which are also included in Directive 1061. Can you please clarify that this is correct?

Building 147 is the chiller plant. 04 chiller water samples and 06 Tower water samples are to be taken in building 147 for a total of 10 samples.

2. The pricing structure in the solicitation does not allow for quantifying any resamples necessary, only stating that it will be required. There is a large difference in price from retesting 1 sample site to retesting 10 sample sites. Can you please either provide a more specific pricing formula, or at least provide a history of past testing results so an average can be taken.

Sampling has been done quarterly for the span of 2019 to present. During that time, only two quarters have required resampling. In one quarter, all 10 samples from building 9 had to be resampled one time. One other quarter, one sample location had to be retested.

3. Does this work require a GSA contract?

No.
