CONTINUATION PAGE

The following addresses questions regarding solicitation: 36C25821Q0248. These questions and answers are not incorporated into the solicitation and are only to clarify the procurement.

Q1 Also, can you provide any information that is pertinent to this solicitation that will be useful in putting a proposal forward?

A:1 All information pertinent to the solicitation is located in the solicitation.

Q2: The information on the link indicates that the incumbent contractor’s contract was for only one year, but the new contract requirements far exceed one year and the sow mandates battery replacements on option year 1&3 as well as a requirement for annual inspections and antifreeze exchange. Can you please provide the SOW for the current contract?

A2: The SOW for the current contract will not be provided.

Q3: We are looking for an explanation on the term "base". If you look at the southern AZ group, the battery section says "base, oy1,oy4" and the coolant change section says "base, oy4". We can't find what "base" means in any descriptions.

A3: Base means the first year of the contract. OY1 means the first option year of the contract, OY2 the second option year, etc.

Q4: How do we go about scheduling site visits for each of the facilities?

A4: See following pages for a site visit scheduled on 8/12/2021 for each of the three facilities.

Q5: NVAHCS site are missing “KW” rating, can we get an updated list?

A5: Updated Equipment list included in this document.

Q6: All site are missing battery info making quoting battery replacement a “best guess” scenario, can we get battery info?

A6: All relevant sites have updated battery info per generator in equipment list.

Q7: Lastly coolant replacement quote is based off unit having standard radiator, if unit is equipped with remote radiator we would need to know to properly quote it.

SAVAHCS: Tucson does not have remote radiators.
