Questions and Answers

A. This amendment form is a part of the solicitation documents and amends the project solicitation as noted below. You must submit a signed copy of this amendment with your offer. Failure to do so may subject your offer to be disqualif ied. Amendments to the solicitation are as follows:

Question 1: Upon site inspection on March 23rd, we discovered that most generators with underground tanks are also equipped with a smaller Day Tank inside each generator house.

Should we include the fuel polishing services of these tanks in our quotation?

Answer 1: No, we don’t need the small day tanks fuel polished.

Question 2: Fuel sample test results typically take up to 14 days to be returned to us from the time each sample is mailed to the lab. Will this be acceptable?

Answer 2: We will give the contractor 15 days to get the fuel samples back due to the slow shipping processes right now due to COVID-19.

Question 3: My company is a small business that employees Veterans but is not a Veteran

Owned Company. It's my understanding that other fuel polishing companies are not

Veteran Owned Either. Will you still accept our bid?

Answer 3: No, under the current solicitation, the requirement to bid is that all contractors must be a SDVOSB.

Question 4: Normal working hours on the facility is 7 am to 4:30pm. Will we be allowed to work on site from 7am through 7pm if necessary?

Answer 4: Yes, you can work from 7am-7pm as long as they work it out with the COR 24 hours prior to staying late to make sure VA personnel is on site with contractor.

Question 5: Do we have an estimate of amount of fuel needed for each site?

Answer 5: No, we do not know the fuel estimate because it depends on the water content removed and how much fuel we have currently in the tanks.

Question 6: To what percentage of capacity will each tank need to be filled?

Answer 6: If capacity of the fuel tanks is less than 80%, then they need to be fuel to 80% after centrifuging and polishing. If tank is having more than 80% at the time of centrifuging it may not need any fuel unless it drops below the 80% statue after water is content is removed and tank polished.

Question 7: Can we get a copy of the last fuel samples for each location and tank?

Answer 7: They are included.

Question 8: Can we extend the days for the lab reports from 5 days to 10 days? These all have to be sent ground shipment only.

Answer 8: We will give the contractor 15 days to get the fuel samples back due to the slow shipping processes right now due to COVID-19.

Question 9: Can we get a list of the filters that each tank to replace after the polishing is complete?

Answer 9: No filters are need because the generator contract replaces all of them every year on their annual Preventative Maintenance.
