SOLICITATION: 36C79123Q0026

REQUIREMENT: Commercial Third Party Automobile Insurance Policy

PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT:

The purpose of this amendment is to make the following changes to the solicitation:

1. Post questions and answers received in regard to the current RFQ 36C7923Q0026 Commercial Third Party Automobile Insurance Policy.

The answers are in red.

Post questions and answers

1) Is this contract replacing one that will soon expire? If so, who is the incumbent and what is the contract number?

Incumbent is: RESURGENS Risk Management.

Contract Number: 36C79118C0014.

2) Will the government sign standard commercially prepared insurance documents, to include applications and policy delivery notices?

Government will prepare Form 1449/Terms and Conditions for an awardee/contractor to sign that contractor shall abide by the terms and conditions provided by the Government. It is advisable that Interested vendors read the solicitation documents in its entirety to understand Government requirement and to provide quotes in accordance with the solicitation. Not reading the entire solicitation document is not an excuse for incomplete quote.

3) Insurance is paid in advance, will immediate pay via Tungsten be available?

Payment will be available via Denver Logistic fiscal department. However, because of our newly implemented Integrated Financial and Acquisition Management System (iFAMS), reimbursement may be delayed.

4) Automobile insurance is subject to annual review and renewal. Premiums may change based on factors such as loss rates, interest rates and overall economic conditions.

Your proposal will be evaluated with the base year and 4 twelve months option year prior to award. As soon as the proposed price is accepted and awarded by the Government, the terms and condition of the contract shall remain full and in effect for the life of the contract.

When a subsequent option year is to be renewed, will the VA accept option year price modification based on these factors. This review will take place each year. Such factors are difficult to predict and what is submitted now may not be valid in the future.

This is a Firm Fixed Priced contract. There will be no price change after contract award.

5) It appears that both the SF-1449 page 5 and SF 30 page 1 (3 of 3) both have header and footer overprint from the previous pages. Is it possible to get these pages refreshed and replaced?

The overprint does not affect the contract terms or conditions or affect the solicitation procedures set forth in the document, we will not be revising.
