Questions and Answers:

3. The requirement requests “updates” to the CCURE software. That may require a full system upgrade. Should we include the necessary costs to upgrade CCURE to new versions each year?

Answer: The system should be updated with the latest software version each year.

4. The requirement calls for on-site repairs within (8) hours of a VA call, however the CLINs do not allow us to respond with the costs to meet this requirement. Please verify if on-site support is a requirement.

Answer: Upgrades should be installed at the beginning of the period of performance. One time annually within 30 days after of receipt of award. A separate CLIN for services outside the scope of the contract will be added. Refer to Solicitation Amendment 002 Question 2.

5. Please clarify the requirement in Section 8: Over and Above Repairs. Will the contractor be responsible for fixing hardware such as control panels, readers, door devices, etc.? Should the necessary costs be included in this response?

Answer: The contractor is not responsible for fixing hardware and any hardware repairs will be performed inhouse. The contractor is responsible for software only. Refer to Solicitation Amendment 002 Question 2.

6. The requirement calls for inspections. Please clarify what the expectation of the inspection is for this scope of work.

Answer: Sentence will be removed from Statement of Work. The contractor does not perform inspections.

7. The CLINs note a total of (8) hours per year for the system updates and upgrades. This amount of time is inconsistent with the overall requirement and level of effort needed to respond to the solicitation. Please clarify the CLINs.

Answer: It should only take 8 hours to perform annual software upgrades and updates.
