***NOTE TO VENDORS: All responses to vendor questions are noted in BOLD RED.***

1. What's the address to "Building 79 – Specialty Clinic" or is it located on "One Veterans Drive" as well?

Building 79 is connected to Building 70, and it has the same address.

2. What is the address of "Buildings 89, 217, 222, and 224" in Fort Snelling, MN.

3. Can you provide addresses for the CBOC in MN & WI?

See attachment: Solicitation Amendment 1 – Attachment 1 – CBOC List

4. Will the relocation be to another in-state building or out of state? If so, do you have the mileage in between locations??

The relocation of items varies but is usually within each facility. Occasionally there are CBOC relocations where items will be taken out of the facility, stored, and then brought back to the CBOC, if they are not disposed of and replaced. Mileage between locations will vary as well, depending on each move, and mileage is not a billable line item on the contract. Offerors are expected to take this into consideration when submitting their quotes.

5. Can you provide the number of furniture (desks, file cabinets, furniture, bookcases, chairs/benches), miscellaneous medical equipment, and totes that need to be moved, disassembled, re-assembled, reconfigured and installed per building?

It’s not possible to give a specific number for office furniture, medical equipment, or totes as each move varies. Medical equipment is moved internally.

6. How many flights of stairs per relocation and destination building ?

There are 20 flights of stairs in the main facility. The CBOC’s are at ground level. Each move will vary depending on the facility involved.

7. What is the sq. ft. per room that needs to be boxed up? Or will everything be boxed in totes per move? If not, what box sizes are needed?

Typically, the VA employees will pack their items in totes and the contractor is responsible for relocating totes to their new destination. The totes are provided by the VA. Square footage of rooms varies depending on the situation. In the event that moving supplies are needed, the Statement of Work includes the following information:

e. Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, vehicles, supplies, and materials necessary to perform all tasks related to moving furniture and supplies. Contractor shall furnish all packing supplies and equipment to include, but not limited to:

· Boxes, tape, and wrapping (bubble and shrink-wrap)

· Furniture pads and blankets

· Hand trucks and furniture dollies

· Hand and power tools needed to disassemble and reassemble office furniture/equipment

8. Is there a schedule or time-frame on when each relocation will need to be performed?

We typically need two (2) personnel at least 3-4 days per week to be on-site to perform moves for eight (8) hours per day. Larger moves will require 5-6 personnel. The timeframe of each specific relocation will vary depending on each situation.

9. For packaging supplies like boxes, tape, and bubbles that are needed, how would you like me to submit the price? Should I create a breakdown on a word document with the cost and attach it with the solicitation, or should I add it to total crew cost and include it in the B.2 PRICE/COST SCHEDULE?

As per the Statement of Work (see excerpt below), these prices should be included within the offer when you submit it. There should be no changes to the line items included by the contracting office within the solicitation. Offerors should take the requirements of the Statement of Work into consideration when pricing for their offers.

e. Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, vehicles, supplies, and materials necessary to perform all tasks related to moving furniture and supplies. Contractor shall furnish all packing supplies and equipment to include, but not limited to:

· Boxes, tape, and wrapping (bubble and shrink-wrap)

· Furniture pads and blankets

· Hand trucks and furniture dollies

· Hand and power tools needed to disassemble and reassemble office furniture/equipment

10. For the laborer, how many are needed? It only shows hours but not the number of laborers. Some like furniture is heavy and will require more than one laborer to move. Or, should I assume it's 400 hours per laborer?

We will always need at least two (2) personnel from the moving company for every job. For example, when the Rate Table states the category of Laborer - 1600 hours, two (2) laborers would be 800 each and so on.
