QUESTION #1 – Clarification on square footage of storage/warehouse space used to store VA’s furniture assets is requested. The square footage is listed as 48,000 ft2 on the Price/Cost Schedule Item Number 0001 (pg. 4). Statement of Work paragraph 5A (pg. 27) states “the square footage of storage space required for new and existing furniture will vary between 2,000 square feet and 4,000 square feet.” Paragraph 5G (pg. 27) states “the current VA contracted warehouse space is estimated at 1,200 square feet.” Which square footage amount should be used for pricing? The pricing for 48,000 ft2 is vastly different than for 2,000 - 4,000 ft2. Is this solicitation requesting bidders base the square footage price on 48,000 ft2 but there actually is only 2,000 – 4,000 ft2 worth of product that needs to be inventoried?

ANSWER #1 – The winning bidder is not expected to store 48,000 ft2 of VA furniture assets at one single point in time. The 48,000 ft2 is a 12 month sum total estimate of the maximum square footage amount required. In other words, 4,000 ft2 is the estimated maximum and not to exceed (NTE) amount of space required per month.

Estimated Maximum & NTE Amount 4,000 ft2 (Monthly) x 12 Months = 48,000 ft2

This is a Requirements contract for services and the quantities specified in the Schedule are estimates only (subsection C.5 on pg. 19). Bidders should determine their Unit Price quote with the full understanding the VA may not require the monthly maximum of 4,000 ft2 during anytime of the contract’s entire period of performance. The Unit Price is per square foot. The Amount price is the Unit Price multiplied by 48,000 ft2; it represents the yearly maximum and NTE amount.

The square footage of space used to warehouse the VA’s inventory shall be measured and determined precisely on the fifteenth day of each month. That measurement shall be used to invoice the VA for the square footage of storage space for the month the measurement was taken.

The 1,200 ft2 amount is mentioned for situational awareness – the winning bidder must move, store, and inventory 1,200 ft2 of VA furniture assets within 30 days of award.

QUESTION #2 - Are Item Numbers (CLINs) 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002, and 4002 in the Price/Cost Schedule intended to represent the cost of warehouse staffing?

ANSWER #2 - Those CLINs represent the yearly amount total of furniture storage, inventory, moving and installation services to Yuma, Casa Grande, Tucson, Green Valley, Sierra Vista, and Safford performance sites. We will use CLIN 0002 on page 4 as an example to clarify this point. CLIN 0002’s Unit Price is the sum of 0002AA, 0002AB, 0002AC, 0002AD, 0002AE, and 0002AF Amount prices. Bidders shall first determine the individual subCLIN (0002AA-002AF) hourly Unit Price and then the individual subCLIN Amount prices. The subCLIN Amount prices are calculated by multiplying the Unit Price with the corresponding Quantity hours.
