16. Can you please provide a list of the equipment on site that require maintenance for the RFP/ soliitation?

See response on question 12.

17. The instructions to offerors, under Part II – Technical Capability Submission, states, “Limited to no more than fifty (20) pages..” Please clarify the page limit.

Correction should be: no more than twenty (20) pages.

18. We do not read Part III - Past Performance Information Submission to mean submission of questionnaire’s by customers as mandatory, but this section states, “The Government highly recommends the submission of completed questionnaires prior to the solicitation closing date and time.”

As there were 30 or so bases put out for bid under the previous IDIQ contract and over 100 more that could potentially come out individually, the requirement for customers to fill out and send questionnaires for each base can be overwhelming.

As at least 17 bases have already gone out to bid with this PWS, we respectfully request consideration for any bidder for whom customers are unable to make the additional time to reply.

The Government will remain with, ‘highly recommends the submission of completed questionnaires prior to the solicitation closing date and time.”

19. The PWS does not include information on the locations, makes, models, and quantities of the barriers. Please provide a breakdown by gate of the quantity of barriers installed at each gate by make/model and whether the SDDCTEA Safety Scheme is installed at each respective gate, including overspeed, wrong way detection, etc.

See response on question 12.

20. APPENDIX F: BARRIER SYSTEM RATING CRITERIA of the PWS indicates that a significant amount of existing equipment is either inoperable (red) or in need of repair (yellow). Please confirm repair of this equipment will not be included in the firm fixed price for preventative maintenance and if repair will be requested as additional in-scope work or outside the maintenance contract.

APPENDIX F: BARRIER SYSTEM RATING CRITERIA is a reporting guidance.

All Barriers on this contract are operational (green).

If any repairs are identified they will fall under the additional in-scope work.
