Contractors may only utilize the performance of another entity for which they’ve included a signed letter, however the 8(a) contractor must submit at least one (1) project and indicating their own experience under the technical criteria. Contractors shall not make any changes, modifications, and/or outside arrangement(s) that change the composition of the parties as submitted in the signed letter without the Contracting Officer’s approval.

II. The following are responses to submitted Pre-Quote Questions (PQQ).

1. Can GSA provide a site map of the area that will need to be covered for Grounds Maintenance?

Government Response: There are currently no site maps available for the current grounds maintenance. The site visit was utilized to cover most of these areas.

Government Response: No.

3. Can you please provide the # of windows needed to be cleaned for window washing.

4. Can you please provide the sq footage of areas that need to be cleaned within the federal building and courthouse.

Government Response: Please see Exhibit J1: Building Information Sheet.

5. For solid waste management/recycling, what is the frequency of services for trash and recycling (i.e. 2x a week) and size of containers currently being used onsite (i.e. 8 cu yd container / compactor)?

Government Response: Solid waste management/recycling frequencies vary based on the Government’s contract (separate) with the Los Angeles City and County.

6. What is the current annual value of the contract per month ?

Government Response: Please utilize usaspending.gov for any questions regarding current contract pricing.

7. What is the current amount for the base year and all option years per year?

Government Response: See PQQ #6.

8. Has the scope of work , under the new solicitation, remained the same , decreased or increased compared to the current Solicitation contract ?

Government Response: This is a Request For Quote, not a solicitation. The PBSOW has changed under the current RFQ. Quoters should submit a quote package based on the requirements issued in RFQ

47PK0222Q0008.

9. In the last five years has the scope of work changed?

Government Response: Yes. See PQQ #8.

10. Does the previous contractor compete this solicitation contract?

Government Response: We do not share this information.

11. What is the current contract term (1 base year and 4 option years)?

18. Do you have the new Collection Bargain agreement for 2022 Government Response: The current CBA is uploaded on the Sam.gov website.

19. We only have 2 projects currently with the over 500k square footage mentioned. Will the GSA consider a teaming agreement (prime has two and sub has one) meeting the 3 required projects? Or is there a work around? Such as we have over 1 million sq. feet will it count for two? Or a combination of other projects?

Government Response: The technical criteria requirements remain unchanged. See Amendment 0002 Section I, subparagraph 2.

20. Is Exhibit J6.1 (CBA Agreement), the correct one for this solicitation? The CBA lists employee wage rates for solely engineers. Solicitation 47PK0222Q0008 is a Custodial & related services at Edward R. Roybal, which I believe do not require any engineers, but rather janitors, and perhaps tree trimmers.

Can you confirm if this is in fact the correct CBA agreement?

Government Response: The incorrect CBA was originally uploaded on the Sam.gov site but was replaced with the correct CBA on 03/24/2022.

Government Response: Please see PQQ #17.

24. If there is an incumbent, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

Government Response: Please see PQQ #17.

25. In our experience, many respondents overlook FAR 52.208-9 and provide quotes that include commercially equivalent products, which adversely impacts the Federal Government's mission of supporting manufacturing agencies who employ people who are blind. How would you recommend to ensure products made by people who are blind are supplied?

Government Response: FAR 52.208-9 is included in the RFQ and therefore a requirement of the PBSOW.

Quoters are required to ensure their quote packages meet all of the requirements of the RFQ.

26. We do not have three contracts that are over 500,000 gsf. Any chance you can change the requirement to two of the three projects being for buildings over 500,000 gsf? This will allow us to bid on this contract and perhaps other small businesses as well.

Government Response: The technical criteria requirements remain unchanged.

27. Section M mentions we need 3 projects in the last five years of 500,000 sq. feet, we only have two. Is there a work around this requirement?

Government Response: Please see PQQ #26.
