Additional Questions/Answers

As of 25 Sep 12

Question 1: Will there be a new SF 1449 Continuation Sheet sent with all the CLINs and a revised schedule B Attachment 4?

Answer 1: Yes, posted to FedBizOpps

Question 2: We have just started going through the changes to the solicitation as outlined in Amendment

0001. We are asking for some clarification. On page 2 and all subsequent pages when you make the change in the CLIN from what it was to reserved, we understand we change the description to Reserved.

However you tell us to delete the Unit of Issue but you do not tell us to eliminate the Estimate Quantity or the Unit Price. You tell us to delete EST but there is no EST in the CLIN document. There is Estimated

Quantity and Estimated Net Amount. Please clarify. If we eliminate the number of Units do we still provide a Unit Price? It appears all we have eliminated is the description of the Unit but not the number of units nor the Unit Price. I believe I know the answer but do not want to make any assumptions.

Answer 2: CLINs which have been changed to read “Reserved” are deleted in their entirety and will no longer be used. Therefore no pricing should be proposed for “Reserved” CLINs.

Question 3: Lastly, are you going to issue an amended Attachment 4 for the base period and all options?

Answer 3: Amendment 4 has been issued. Another amendment will be issued to include all additional questions/answers, along with the appropriate revised solicitation documents.

Question 4: Reference CLINs 0003AH, 1003AN, 2003AN, 3003AN: Amendment 0001 to solicitation.

DCF Full Food Extended hours: 4 Lines. Extended service for emergency or special events at full food service facilities when four serving lines are requested in accordance with the performance work statement and its attachments.

Answer 4: SF 1449 has been corrected for CLINs 0003AH, 1003AH, 2003AH AND 3003AH; it now reads, “Extended service for emergency or special events at DCF facilities when four serving lines are requested in accordance with the performance work statement and its attachments”.

Question 5: UTA weekends building 10810, Live Oak Inn, paragraph 1.12.d.3, page 10 of the PWS sentence 6 indicates (1) weekend per month. However, page 36, Technical Exhibit 2 Notes under Live

Oak Inn indicates (2) weekends per month which is correct.

Answer 5: Page 10 of the PWS is correct, there is one (1) UTA weekend per month. In addition, Technical Exhibit 2 now states, “one (1) UTA weekend (Saturday only) per month for the Live Oak Inn, bldg 10810 and one (1) UTA weekend (Sunday only) per month for Mesquite Inn, bldg 10175 is the new requirement.

Question 6: Can a revised full Section B that includes the changes made with Amendment 0001 please be provided? Since Section B, is only provided in PDF format, offerors cannot incorporate the changes that were made in Amendment 0001.
