About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) Answer Sheet for USCG Station/Aids to Navigation Buffalo generator maintenance services, Amendment 00001, dated September 22, 2026.
The document addresses eight clarification questions from potential offerors regarding the solicitation 70Z03026QCLEV0106. Key clarifications include: corrective maintenance labor shall be priced at 20 hours per 12-month period (not 40 hours); SF-1413 has been uploaded to the SAM.gov solicitation page; Davis-Bacon wage determination does not apply, and the correct Service Contract Act wage determination has been uploaded; a bid guarantee is not required; load-bank testing is not anticipated as a separate requirement if facility load is sufficient for the generator's rated capacity; site visits are not mandatory but highly encouraged and may be conducted by local subcontractor representatives; pricing must cover all five years (one base year plus four option years) with a detailed breakdown provided in the quote and an overall total on the SF-1449; and the Kohler KG200 generator serial number is 34DRGMMK0008 (model and serial number for the automatic transfer switch were not provided in the answer). The answers establish that the Service Contract Act applies to this maintenance services requirement rather than Davis-Bacon prevailing wage provisions.

70Z03026QCLEV0106; USCG STA/ANT BUFFALO GENERATOR MAINTENANCE,
USCG STATION / AIDS TO NAVIGATION BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
AMENDTMENT 00001
RFI ANSWER SHEET
DATED 09/22/2026
Question: Corrective maintenance labor: The PWS appears to reference a 20-hour annual cap, while another section references pricing 40 hours. Should offerors price 20 or 40 corrective-maintenance labor hours per 12-month period?
Answer: 20 hours of corrective maintenance per 12-month period.
Question: SF 1413: The RFQ references submission of an SF-1413, but that form does not appear to be included in the posted attachment package. Is SF-1413 required with the quote, and if so, can you please provide the correct form?
Answer: SF-1413 has been uploaded to SAM.gov solicitation page.
Question: Wage determination: The package includes Davis-Bacon Wage Determination NY20260050. Please confirm whether that wage determination applies to this maintenance services requirement and, if so, to which work classifications/tasks.
Answer: You are correct. Davis-Bacon WD does not apply to this solicitation/contract.
The correct Service Contract Act WD has been uploaded.
Question: Bid guarantee: FAR 52.228-1 appears in the solicitation package, but I did not locate a stated bid-guarantee percentage or amount.
Please confirm whether a bid guarantee is required for this RFQ.
Answer: A bid guarantee is not required for this RFQ.
Question: Load-bank testing: Please confirm whether a separate annual load-bank test is required in addition to the generator run/operational testing and ATS transfer testing described in the job plans.
Answer: I would expect no load bank testing to be required. It depends on what the facility load is relative to the generator's rated load, but the facility load should be sufficient. If it isn't we can address this using corrective maintenance funds, but I don't anticipate this being the case, assuming the generator was sized suited to the building.

RFI ANSWER SHEET
DATED 09/22/2026
Question: Site visit: Please confirm whether a site visit is optional rather than mandatory for quote eligibility, and whether a local subcontractor representative may attend on behalf of the prime offeror.
Answer: Site visits are not mandatory but highly encouraged and do play a role in pre-award surveys. Local subcontractor representatives may attend on behalf of the prime offeror/contractor.
Question: PWS Section 5.12 requests pricing for the base year and four option years, while Section B and the SF-1449 show one base work item. Please confirm whether to price all five years and how those amounts should be entered into Section B and the
SF-1449.
Answer: Yes, please provide a quote with a breakdown of all 5 years. On SF-1449 please provide overall total.
Question: Please provide the serial number for the Kohler KG200 generator and the model and serial number for the Kohler automatic transfer switch.
