# Question Government Response

Could I please have the current return dimensions for the offices requesting only hutches? (Rooms 2001, 2002, 2003) I have found for the new proposed desk – the hutches are a bit larger than the return, interfering with the height adjustable desk. I want to confirm if I need to provide the item # specified or if I need to adjust the width of those hutches by a couple of inches.

Room 2001 Commander’s Office: Delete the requirement for the Overhead Storage (hutch).

Room 2000 Deputy’s Office: The requirements call for a 60” Return and the Overhead Storage should be changed from a 64” to a 60” Overhead Storage (hutch). The light and tackboard should also be adjusted.

Room 2003 Admin (Executive Suite): The existing returns measure 6’-11” x 2’-5”. The Overhead Storage 64” x 14” x 42” should be changed to 83” x 14” x 42”. The light and tackboard should also be adjusted to match the adjusted size of 83” x 14” x 42”.

Is the Contractor responsible for moving pre-existing furniture? For example, in Rooms 2007 and 2019. If so, where will it go? (Will affect bids)

The contractor is not responsible for moving pre-existing furniture.

Does Building 696 have a loading dock where the furniture can be directly shipped, or will the Contractor need to have the furniture shipped locally and then brought on base?

Building 696 does not have a loading dock for the furniture to be directly shipped to and be stored. The Contractor will need to have the furniture shipped locally and brought on base.

How long in advance may the furniture be delivered? Is there anywhere in the building it can be stored before installation?

There is nowhere for the furniture to be stored in advance.

Is there any preferred time of day for this furniture to be installed? Ex. During the workday, after-hours, on the weekend..

Normal business hours Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1600.

JSI Finish calls for Studio Teak. This is not a JSI finish. Please advise if standard laminate finishes are to be priced or upgrade to premium.

The intent is to match the exiting furniture. The Contractor is to upgrade to a premium if required to match the existing furniture.

Please submit a sample of the Studio Teak for verification prior to manufacturing/purchasing.

While we can certainly provide past performance, is Technical Approach necessary?

In order to sell JSI, Sit On It and Darran to the government, we are required to be a dealer of that product which indicates our proficiency with those products.

By “Minimum Technical Requirements”, IAW FAR 13.106-2 (b), the Contracting Officer only needs to ensure that what is being offered is acceptable IAW the Civil Engineering Group. That is the only technical requirement for this solicitation.

SOW states work is to be completed in 30 days.

This is not realistic as the casegoods products are made-to-order and not stocked.

Manufacturing lead time is generally 8-12 weeks.

Due to casegood products being made-to-order, the SOW will be amended to state that work is to be completed within 120 calendar days of award.

The AF Seating BPA is no longer in effect. This product would be quoted on GSA contract.

Concur.

The part numbers given call for thermally fused laminate(M), however the finish specified is TSTV Studio Teak Walnut which is a premium veneer. We do have a MTW Studio teak for TFL. Should I proceed with this instead of premium veneer?

Please provide the following finishes as specified:

Room 2001 Commander’s Office: TSTV Studio Teak Walnut Room 2002 Deputy’s Office: TSTV Studio Teak Walnut Room 2003 Admin Area: TSTV Studio Teak Walnut Room 2007 Office: Studio Teak Room 2019 Office: Studio Teak

The specs call for ledge edge, which is not available in TFL, but is available in premium veneer.

Proceed with premium veneer if this is required to meet the edge detail specified.

We are able to match JSI, should we quote as an alternative for JSI or are the manufacturers to remain as is? (Question from Darran)

The manufacturers are to remain as specified.

The overhead console, tack board, and light sizes in the furniture specifications call for a 64W desk, which cannot be accommodated due to the height adjustable desk. I have updated the sizes to match the return for room 2002, however rooms 2003 and 2001 I am not sure how to proceed due to existing furniture being paired with these overheads. Should these add Ons be 64W or should I match room 2002 at 60?

Room 2001 Commander’s Office: Delete the requirement for the Overhead Storage (hutch).

Room 2000 Deputy’s Office: The requirements call for a 60” Return and the Overhead Storage should be changed from a 64” to a 60” Overhead Storage (hutch). The light and tackboard should also be adjusted to the 60” overhead if required.

Room 2003 Admin (Executive Suite): ): The existing returns measure 6’-11” x 2’-5”. The Overhead Storage 64” x 14” x 42” should be changed to 83” x 14” x 42”. The light and tackboard should also be adjusted to match the adjusted size of 83” x 14” x 42”.
