Willamette National Cemetery Q&A for Solicitation # 36C78619Q0355

Janitorial Services

“I was reviewing the Solicitation released on June 13, 2019 for Janitorial Services for the Willamette National Cemetery. I was wondering if you could inform me if this is a new effort or if there is a previous contractor that performed similar requirements in the past? If the latter, could you provide me with the Contractor Name, Contract #, Value

Expiration Date”.

This is a brand new FY19 requirement for the Willamette National Cemetery. No incumbent or prior Contractor information is available at this time.

“Could you please tell me if the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation posted as solicitation number 36C78619Q0355 on FBO contains requirements similar to any work performed currently or in the past, or will this be a new requirement?

If possible, can you please provide the most recent contract or task order number?”

This is a brand new FY19 requirement for the Willamette National Cemetery (see Performance Work Statement). The PWS in this Solicitation may reflect additional changes to the scope of work on any prior contracted janitorial services work performed previously at Willamette National Cemetery.

“Is there a current contract for this service?

If there is a contract in place, who is the current incumbent how much was the award amount?

Are there any changes to the scope of work for this solicitation from the current contract?”

No incumbent or pricing information is available. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) in this Solicitation may reflect additional changes to any prior contracted janitorial services work performed previously at Willamette National Cemetery.

“Who is the incumbent?” See above.

Willamette National Cemetery Q&A for Solicitation # 36C78619Q0355

Janitorial Services

“What is the annual value of the existing contract?”

See above.

“Does "daily service" mean 7 days per week” Per Performance Work Statement contained in this Combined Synopsis Solicitation, “All work will be done during cemetery’s after hours, between 5:00pm and 7am Monday through Friday, including all Federal Holidays observed during the work week, Monday through Friday.”

“Can the four volumes be consolidated?”

Please see the “Offer Format and Submission Information” on Page 4 of the Combined Synopsis Solicitation document for Volume submission requirements.

“Why is the response time for this complex bid so short” Services are required effective July 1, 2019.

“There was no mention of the basement in the RFQ but Ms. Akin walked us through that area. Please confirm if this area is to be included. Many thanks.”

See Amendment A0001. The Basement area of the Administration building at the Willamette National Cemetery, WILL NOT require cleaning under the new contract and therefore “Exhibit 9” has been removed from the Performance Work Statement and/or Attachments.

END OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR THIS PROCUREMENT.
