Question 1: If we are a sub to the prime do we also need to have a Bona Fide Office in SBA

Region IV?

Answer 1: No, the prime is the only one under contract with the government so they are the only entity required to have a bona fide office in the region.

Question 2: Could you please clarify the bid bond requirement? I understand the Bid Bond is

20% of the offered amount. I assume that is the amount of the First Task Order?

Answer 2: No, the bid bond should be 20% of your proposed TEP for the basic 5 year contract, with a magnitude between $10-25M.

Question 3: What are the overall bonding requirements for this project? Since the magnitude is between 10-25 Million total, I assume that means 2-5 Million per year. Therefore, if a company has an aggregate bonding capacity of at least 5 Million with an individual capacity of at least 2.5

Million, would that be sufficient bonding capacity?

Answer 3: The overall bonding i.e. payment and performance bonds will be based on the total ceiling price by year which is anticipated to be between $2-5M a year. Bonding will need to renew upon exercising of an option for that particular year.

Question 4: One more item - there is an error on Appendix A: Past Performance Project

Information - In the main paragraph, an HVAC & Lighting RFP is referenced instead of this

Demo IDIQ.

Answer 4: Corrected.

Question 5: I have been unable to locate any drawings which indicate the first task order. Can you advise if there are any?

Answer 5: There are no drawings for the first task order.

Question 6: Is there an Asbestos survey report for this? All we need is a ruff sq ft and type of asbestos.
