Questions: RFQ # 72066824Q00045 – Kitchen Equipment

1.) I hope this message finds you well. We are writing to express our interest in collaborating on Solicitation No. 72066824Q00045 and to seek clarification on a couple of important points regarding the project requirements.

Firstly, could you kindly clarify whether the kitchen equipment specified in the tender needs to be warehoused at the destination site, or if there is flexibility to store it centrally before delivery?

USAID Response: No, if you are in the US, you will send your consignment to US Dispatch Agent in New Jersey for onward shipment to post. Otherwise, all other shipments are door-to-door to South Sudan Juba/warehouse.

Secondly, we would appreciate confirmation on whether the specified compliance standards such as NSF and UL are mandatory for all equipment, or if there are circumstances where equivalent international standards may be deemed acceptable.

USAID Response: These are mandatory as per Section 1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCE

2.) I am preparing a quote for above request and was wondering if we could ger drawing for Panel walk-in?

USAID Response: We assume the questions is asking if the vendor could get drawings for the Walk-in cooler. There are not drawings for the Walk-in Cooler. However, we have provided the Equipment cut sheet for guidance and additional information.

3.) Document 11 KITCHEN EQUIPMENT SECTION 11 40 00:

a) Under 1.02, A. Description of work it refers to site drawings – do you have a copy of the site drawings you’d be able to provide?

USAID Response: These drawing are specific to the Kitchen construction works. The specifications for the required equipment have been provided with the RFP. For further guidance and details please refer to the Equipment cut sheet.

b) Reading through the document, there are several mentions of the Divisions, i.e. 11, 21, 22, 23, 26 etc. – can you please provide a copy of the Divisions?

USAID Response: The RFP is for supply and delivery of Kitchen equipment whereas Divisions 11, 21, 22, etc., refer to the installations of the equipment which shall be done by a separate contractor. These Division are not applicable to the scope of this RFP (See Sections 1.02 and 2.03).

c) Will you accept equivalent items to those specified, or only the make and model listed?

USAID Response: USAID prefer similar equipment as per the specification provided and/or superior model. Power rating and dimensions are very important as it will affect the space planning and the power rating of the designed kitchen.

d) Some of the Items mention the Plan Sheets FS1-FS21 and Cut sheets. Are you able to provide us with those documents?

USAID Response: The Cut Sheet is attached.

4.) Would it be possible to extend the due date on this solicitation to the 12th of July? With the large amount of equipment, we will need to reach out to several manufacturers for quotes and these quotes can take some time, we will also need to coordinate container costs and shipping and with the Federal Holiday coming up on July 4th that could add a delay with folks being off before and after which could hinder our ability to meet the quote deadline.

USAID Response: The closing date is extended to July 12, 2024 at 2300 (CAT).

5.) In the Solicitation Document, the Kitchen Equipment list shows 93 Items, but in the document Section 114000, the specifications are provided only till Item#87. Please provide us the specifications for the balance items (88,89,91,92 & 93)

USAID Response: Please refer to the List Provided with the RFP. Specification is also provided therein in the second column. That is the power rating, dimensions, weight, capacity, etc.

6.) Would you accept delivery to IKUN LLC, NJ – 08902

USAID Response: YES

7.) The requirement is for Supply only of Kitchen Equipment’s, right?

USAID Response: YES, successful contractor will provide complete installation manual.

8.) Will there be an extension for bidding Kitchen Equipment for US Embassy Juba, South Sudan?

USAID Response: See response under question 4 above.
