Questions & Answers for Solicitation # 36C26018Q0007

1. Would VISN 20 consider adding two or three additional days on to turn-around time for specialty lenses due to lost time in receiving shipped frames and the complexity of production due to Rx needs associated to these lenses? Unable to start job until the frame is received and complex Rx's take longer to produce. VISN 20 OFL will agree to add up to 3 additional days for a total of 10 days for the turn-around time due to additional shipping time.

1. Would VISN 20 extend the due date one week to February 7th?

1. Justification:

0. Questions can still be submitted until noon MT on Friday, January 26th with answers potentially not being published until Monday, January 29th (next business day)

0. Building the accurate bid responses and additional pricing requirements based on your response to questions requires additional time for preparation, review and submission.

The close date will remain unchanged. Quotes are due January 31st 2018 by 4:30 pm PST.

NOTE: All questions noted below are referencing the Pricing Spreadsheet and valid for both tabs (Specialty and Regular)

1. If all jobs are edged and mounted is there a need to provide separate pricing for Edging and for Mounting? All line items are to be priced

1. Can the price sheet be modified further to address the following?

1. Delete on both tabs the following line items as they have been added to the body of the pricing sheets These items will be deleted from the section 12 of each price list. Please use the attached revised price worksheet.

0. 06D - Round Segment

0. 06E - DD Lenses

0. 06F - DD Glass lenses

1. Correct the listed materials for the following lenses VISN 20 OFL will not correct these materials. If the lens does not exist do not bid on it.

1. DD Lenses are only manufactured in Plastic and Glass

1. RD24 lenses are only manufactured in Plastic

1. If you want a Glass Round Segment Lens I would suggest adding an RD25 which is only manufactured in Glass.

1. Could you expand the main pricing section and add Digital Freeform PAL as a new section with the list of materials you want this bid in. This is an add-on cost already included in the schedule.
