Los Angeles National Cemetery Q&A for Solicitation # 36C78619Q0130

“I am hoping to find out if there is an incumbent contractor currently performing these services, if similar services have been performed in the past, or if this is a new requirement. If there is an incumbent, could you please provide the contract or task order number?”

No, there currently are no contract services for this requirement in place.

This is a brand-new requirement.

“Can we get a list of companies/people that made a site visit?”

No. This information is proprietary and confidential and therefore is internal to the VA only.

“Need clarification on headstone cleaning:

We noticed a lot of headstones that had mildew, lichen, stains, etc. on them.

Are we suppose to clean off these existing conditions or just clean and dirt/mess we make on the headstones during our construction only?”

Yes. The Statement of Work (SOW) specifies two (2) approved biological cleaners which will remove mildew, lichen and grass stains. Also, per the SOW, the Contractor is to perform test methods to determine which provides the best results. Contractors should research these methods on the manufacturers’ websites to help determine the level of effort required.

“Is a Bid Bond required? Or just a bond once the project is awarded?”

A Bid Bond is not required, but a Performance Bond will be required at time of award.

“During the site visit, when we asked about the cleaning of the headstones, they told us it was just the ones we dirty during the project, since they have a active contract for yearly

All headstones in the area(s) of renovation are to be cleaned, and any additional cleaning of headstones outside of the service work area of this

contract, will be as requested by the COR and upon funding availability.

“During our site visit we asked if the project could be invoice every week for what was completed that week. they did not know the answer to that question, and advised us to ask the CO. As a SDVOSB what are the payment terms that we could request for a project this size.”

Usual invoicing terms for Grounds Maintenance contracts are monthly but considerations for weekly invoicing may considered as determined by the Contracting Officer’s Representative

(COR).
