Solicitation A‐10‐042 Amendment No. 0006

Question:

The RFP does not provide sufficient information to submit a bid for the following categories in the SOW:

‐ (CLIN0006b) ‐ Recommended Maintenance and Repairs ‐ pricing will depend on the type of maintenance needed due to property condition and property size.

‐ (CLIN0006d) ‐ Hazardous materials Removal ‐ pricing will depend on the type of material removed.

‐ (CLIN0006e) ‐ Emergency Maintenance ‐ pricing will depend on the type of emergency and type and size of property i.e. Hazmat explosion or damages from flood damage.

The requested bid from the Treasury RFP puts a small business at financial risk and could put the government at risk for an equitable adjustment.

Please explain.

Answer:

The question is not timely. However, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) feels that it is important to address the two items listed below.

The Department of the Treasury believes that Small Businesses can successfully perform the work set forth in this Solicitation and any resulting contract. Further the decision to set this requirement aside for Small Business was made in consultation with the Small Business Administration.

Treasury has no additional information to provide regarding the categories mentioned in the question above. The sub‐CLINs referenced above are cost‐reimbursement sub‐CLINS, which place the bulk of the risk on the Government and not the Contractor. The solicitation sets forth specific Section C language for these sub‐CLINs and provides additional information related to such work in some of the attachments. Treasury will not and cannot make business decisions for potential offerors. Offerors should use their knowledge of the market and their best business judgment to propose a Cost‐Plus‐ Fixed‐Fee price for each of the aforementioned sub‐CLINs.

NOTE: Treasury will not be providing answers to any additional questions received once this Amendment Number 0006 is posted. The date, time, and location of and for proposal submission remains as stated in Section L of the Solicitation.
