Change #4 ADD the following Questions and Answers:

1. MONTHLY RENTALS: Please confirm that all cylinder rentals are MONTHLY and not DAILY as Section 8.0 on PG 9 of 67 explicitly requires “monthly rental of contractor-owned cylinders” in the section heading and in the first bullet; however, the line items for the (4) rental groupings provided include “per day” for the cost requirement. Contradicting information is included within the same section with the VA instructing Contractors to assess “monthly” and “daily” rental charges. Please confirm that rental charges will be assessed on a monthly basis.

Answer: Correct this is a monthly rental charge. All references to daily charges are deleted and change to monthly charges.

2. LOSS OF USE FOR CONTRACTOR-OWNED CYLINDERS: What are the procedures to account for Loss of Use (LOU) costs for contractor-owned cylinders lost while in the VA’s possession? There is no language notating this inevitable occurrence (Loss of Use), nor is there a CLIN provided to instruct HOW the GOV will ensure payment is provided (e.g., paid for via separate purchase order?). Restated, how will the vendor arrive at payment procedurally and be reimbursed in a timely manner for contractor-owned cylinders lost while in the GOV’s possession?

Answer. For each contractor-owned cylinder lost or damaged beyond repair while in the Government's possession, the Government shall pay to the Contractor the replacement value, less the allocable rental paid for that cylinder. These cylinders shall become Government property. If any lost cylinder is located within 30 calendar days after payment by the Government, it may be returned to the Contractor by the Government, and the Contractor shall pay to the Government an amount equal to the replacement value, less rental computed in accordance with SOW. This will be a demurrage charge which will be negotiated and issued on a separate Purchase Order.
