SUMMARY OF CHANGES

A. REVISIONS TO THE TASK ORDER ANNOUNCEMENT/SPECIFICATIONS/DRAWINGS

1. Please replace the language on the Task Order Announcement, Page 4 for “Price Proposal Closing Date” from “WEDNESDAY, JULY 09, 2024, AT 2:00 P.M. PST, Seattle Washington.” to “TUESDAY, JULY 16, 2024, AT 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time, Seattle Washington.”

2. Please add the following FAR Clause to the Task Order Announcement, CLAUSES/PROVISIONS

FAR 52.229-2 NORTH CAROLINA STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAX (APR 1984)

(a) "Materials," as used in this clause, means building materials, supplies, fixtures, and equipment that become a part of or are annexed to any building or structure erected, altered, or repaired under this contract.

(b) If this is a fixed-price contract, the contract price includes North Carolina State and local sales and use taxes to be paid on materials, notwithstanding any other provision of this contract. If this is a cost-reimbursement contract, any North Carolina State and local sales and use taxes paid by the Contractor on materials shall constitute an allowable cost under this contract.

(c) At the time specified in paragraph (d) of this section, the Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer certified statements setting forth the cost of the materials purchased from each vendor and the amount of North Carolina State and local sales and use taxes paid. In the event the Contractor makes several purchases from the same vendor, the certified statement shall indicate the invoice numbers, the inclusive dates of the invoices, the total amount of the invoices, and the North Carolina State and local sales and use taxes paid. The statement shall also include the cost of any tangible personal property withdrawn from the Contractor’s warehouse stock and the amount of North Carolina State and local sales or use tax paid on this property by the Contractor. Any local sales or use taxes included in the Contractor’s statements must be shown separately from the State sales or use taxes. The Contractor shall furnish any additional information the Commissioner of Revenue of the State of North Carolina may require to substantiate a refund claim for sales or use taxes. The Contractor shall also obtain and furnish to the Contracting Officer similar certified statements by its subcontractors.

(d) If this contract is completed before the next October 1, the certified statements to be furnished pursuant to paragraph (c) of this clause shall be submitted within 60 days after completion. If this contract is not completed before the next October 1, the certified statements shall be submitted on or before November 30 of eachyear and shall cover taxes paid during the 12-month period that ended the preceding September 30.

(e) The certified statements to be furnished pursuant to paragraph (c) of this clause shall be in the following form:

I hereby certify that during the period ______ to _____ [insert dates], ____ [insert name of Contractor or subcontractor] paid North Carolina State and local sales and use taxes aggregating $______ (State) and $______ (local), with respect to building materials, supplies, fixtures, and equipment that have become a part of or annexed to a building or structure erected, altered, or repaired by _________ [insert name of Contractor or subcontractor] for the United States of America, and that the vendors from whom the property was purchased, the dates and numbers of the invoices covering the purchases, the total amount of the invoices of each vendor, the North Carolina State and local sales and use taxes paid on the property (shown separately), and the cost of property withdrawn from warehouse stock and North Carolina State and local sales or use taxes paid on this property are as set forth in the attachments.

(End of clause)

B. ANSWERS TO OFFEROR QUESTIONS:

PPI 003

Is FAR 52.229-2 North Carolina State & Local Sales & Use Tax applicable to this RFP?

Answer: Yes, FAR 52.229-2 North Carolina State and Local Sales and Use Tax, is applicable to this Solicitation. The Task Order Announcement is revised to include the subject FAR clause.

PPI 004

Is this project tax exempt?

Answer: This project is not tax exempt.

PPI 005

Page 3 of 21 of the Task Order Announcement states that all Questions shall be received no later than 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST), Seattle, Washington on Monday, July 01, 2024. With the Bid Date being set at July 9, this only allows for (3) three business days for the government to review, evaluate, and respond to the questions submitted and no time for the bidding contractors to review and incorporate any responses. With the question cutoff date being so close to the bid date, there is also insufficient time allocated for follow-up questions to the government’s responses if needed. We respectfully request a minimum two-week time extension to the current Bid Date to allow for sufficient question, response, and follow-up time needed to responsibly bid this project.

Answer: This Amendment is extending the closing date from July 9, 2024, to July 16, 2024. Please see this Amendment for TOA revision language.

PPI 007

Page 4 of 21 of the Task Order Announcement states that the Price Proposal closing date is Wednesday, July 9, 2024 at 2:00PM PST. First item is July 9, 2024 is a Tuesday, not a Wednesday. Second item is that the week including July 9 is a very popular vacation week for most all of our industry partners. We are receiving feedback that if the bid stays set on July 9, many of our trusted industry partners will not be able to submit proposals due to the holiday time off on the Thursday and Friday prior and the already schedule vacations of that week. Also, many of our suppliers and vendors have extended closures around the 4th of July Holiday which will also diminish the response from suppliers and manufacturers for pricing as well. We respectfully request a minimum two-week time extension to the current Bid Date to substantially improve market response and industry participation for this project.

Answer: This Amendment is extending the closing date from July 9, 2024, to July 16, 2024. Please see this Amendment for TOA revision language.

PPI 010

TOA states funds are not presently available. Can you elaborate on when funding is expected?

Answer: An exact date when funds will be made available is not currently known.

PPI 011

Please confirm this TOA is just for the Large Business pool?

Answer: Proposals will only be accepted for this opportunity from the NMACC III Pool 1 Contractors.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. The Proposal due date IS EXTENDED. Offerors are reminded to acknowledge receipt of this amendment in response to the subject TOA.
