(PWS) Section C Sec. 1 Item 1 and Sec. 4

Question/Comment PWS Section 1 (Scope), Item 1 requires that the 100 rooms be located "within 5 miles of 427 Commercial St., Boston, MA 01209."

PWS Section 4 (Place of Performance) requires that "All lodging accommodations shall be located within a 0.5-mile radius of the geographic midpoint between 118 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02116 and 73 Tremont St, Boston, MA 02108."

Which location requirement governs for technical acceptability: the 5-mile radius from 427 Commercial St, or the 0.5-mile radius from the midpoint near 20 Somerset St?

Gov't Response Within 5 miles of 427 Commercial St., Boston, MA 01209.

Question/Comment PWS Section 1 (Scope), Item 5 states: "Complementary on-site parking is required to accommodate 100 vehicles or if contracting an off-site parking location, shall be within a 15-minute walk."

The Period of Performance (06 July 2026 to 17 July 2026) overlaps with the FIFA World Cup 2026 Boston matches, the July 4 Independence Day and Revolution 250 celebrations, and SAIL 250 (July 11-16, 2026). Hotels within the 0.5-mile radius are predominantly valet-only with limited parking inventory, and complimentary on-site parking for 100 vehicles is not commercially available during this window.

Will the Government accept paid parking at fair-market rates as compliant if complimentary parking for 100 vehicles is not available, and may parking be split across multiple off-site garages within the 15-minute walk?

Parking is removed from PWS Section 1, Item 5

3 70Z08426QDL950019

Question/Comment

The RFQ does not specify whether the contractor's quoted nightly lodging rate in Schedule B should be inclusive or exclusive of state and local lodging taxes. Boston-area hotels are subject to approximately

16.45 percent state and local occupancy tax.

Will the Government provide the awarded contractor with a federal tax exemption certificate (such as Form ST-2 or equivalent) that can be presented to the hotel, and should offerors quote the nightly lodging rate inclusive or exclusive of state and local taxes in Schedule B?

The United States Government, including the U.S. Coast Guard, is a tax-exempt federal entity and does not pay state or local taxes. The Government will provide the awarded contractor with the necessary federal tax exemption documentation upon award.

Therefore, offerors must quote the nightly lodging rate exclusive of state and local lodging taxes in Schedule B.

Question/Comment

Section B references lodging within five miles of 427 Commercial St., Boston, MA, while the PWS says lodging within a 0.5-mile radius of the midpoint near 20 Somerset St., Boston, MA 02108. Please confirm which location requirement controls for award and technical acceptability.

Within 5 miles of 427 Commercial St., Boston, MA 01209
