RFQ FA251723Q0002 Ques�ons

1. RFQ Paragraph v: Can you change this to an open solicita�on rather than Small Business set aside?

a. For the NAICS code selected, we do not qualify as a small business. We have decades of experience manufacturing, installing and maintaining ARFF trainers (US Military, Partner County Military & Civilian). Our previous name was Kidde Fire Trainers.

Answer: Market Research indicated that the Small Business set-aside was proper.

2. PWS: Can you clarify if we are expected to include a level of repairs in our base bid? If yes, is $2499 the amount? Or will any repairs need approval before work begins?

Answer: No, repairs are typically unforeseen. Any repairs in accordance with PWS paragraph 2 will be coordinated through the COR or Contrac�ng accordingly. All repairs are required to be coordinated through the government regardless of cost. If repairs are less, then $2500 the GPC process can be u�lized. If repairs are greater then the GPC limit a contract modifica�on will be required.

3. PWS: Is a trailer required for work crews (para 2.1.1.1.24 & 2.1.1.2.21) or are we expected to have the tools and equipment we need to perform maintenance on the trainers?

Answer: The contractor is responsible for all tools and equipment required to perform maintenance on the trainers. A trailer is not mandatory, it is up to the offeror what method they choose or what equipment is required to perform the maintenance. Amendment 1 updates PWS language.

4. PWS: Paragraph 2.2 (HDPE Liner). Can you clarify the language in this paragraph? We are inspec�ng the HDPE liner, but not including repair costs, correct? Repairs require approval form COR, correct?

Answer: A�er inspec�on of the liner, and if repairs are needed, a cost es�mate will be required. All repairs are required to be coordinated through the government regardless of cost.
