Don Weerasinghe Solicitation 36C262-19-R-0174 Questions from Interested Parties

Q1. Please clarify of we’re bidding on just one unit or multiple. It is helpful to understand the true need as a 10/1 move in date means we must prepare our property partners of a real/estimated number of units. A one-week turnaround is not feasible.

A1. The current need is for one (1) two bedroom / two bath unit. Units are expected to be move-in ready within thirty (30) days of contract award.

Q2. We are unable to provide firm rates for the renewal years, this is driven by the properties and the market climate at that time. Can we submit a rate range based on our experience of market rent changes over the years? California Fair Housing requires/allows a 60-day notice of rent increase.

A2. No. This procurement is being awarded as a Firm-Fixed Price contract, firm option pricing must be presented as a set price to be evaluated prior to contract award.

Q3. Please note, in response to Page 9, Section 8, Site Inspection, California Fair Housing requires a 24-hour notice to all residents prior to entering the apartment, unless an emergency.

A3. The contract language will be changed to reflect this requirement.

Q4. Form SF1449, Block 10 states this is a 100% set aside for small business, please confirm. Do we need to provide an official certification?

A4. Yes. This solicitation is set aside 100% for small businesses. This is verified through the SAM registration.

Q5. Page 68: Section2, Item 2-iii – please confirm you mean price schedule in section B2.
