| 1 | Is this a new requirement or is there an incumbent vendor? If available, please provide a contract number. | This is a new requirement. | |
| 2 | When will the Contractor receive the locations of the final sites (estimated at 1000 sites) | Vendor recommends a cutoff date for the final list of sites. | Final sites will be provided by April 24th. Any sites received after that date will not be the responsibility of the Contractor. |
| 3 | What happens if the Contractor is unable to gain access to a site? Will the contractor be penalized? | The contractor will confer with the property owner to gain access, if the site is not in public ownership.

| 5 | Does the estimate for the site call for Hazardous Materials? (i.e. asbestos, lead,etc.) | Yes, please include. | |

| 7 | There are 11 historical districts in Puerto Rico. FEMA only lists 9. Will all 11 be included in the requirement? | The OECH/SHPO and National Park Service terms have evaluated the Aguirre and San German districts.

| 11 | Aside from General Liability and Workers Compensation, is there any other type of insurance requirement? | Not to our knowledge. | |
| 12 | Do the cost estimates have to follow a specific formant, or be in a specific format for FEMA, or can the contractor submit his/her own format. | Yes. The format of the CLIN structure in the RFQ must be used when submitting quotes. | |
| 13 | Under FAR 52.226-3 – Disaster or Emergency Area Representation which is listed in the RFQ - will the government consider an offer if they have an SBA approved bonafide office in San Juan PR? | FEMA will consider all offers that meet the requirements under FAR 52.226-3. Contractors must represent that it has its main operating office in the disaster area declared under DR-4339-PR; and that office generated at least half of the gross revenues and employed at least half of the permanet employees (FAR Clause 52.226-3) PAGE 9 of the RFQ must be completed and submitted with the vendor quote. | |
