Question and answers. FA4419‐17‐Q‐0031 Natural Gas Leak Dectection Survey

1. As part of Attachment 1: Pricing Schedule, the line items appear to repeat. What is the difference between the line items on the pricing schedule (ex: 0001 vs 1001 and 0002 vs 1002, etc).

Please clarify.

Answer‐ The CLIN information is just a standard way of formatting for a multiple year contract. 0001 and 0002 Will be the base year. 1001 will be the next option year. 2001 will be the year after.

2. Can you please provide any historical reports documenting gas leaks onsite?

Answer‐ We do not have any historical reports documenting gas leaks. However, the last inspection found 12 leaks in the system. Ten were on service lines and 2 were on main lines.

3. On page five of the SOW in section 1.6, follow‐up survey for repairs is discussed. Approximately how many follow‐ups have been necessary in previous years?

Answer‐ Our previous contracts have not included this service and it was ususally funded by another method. This service would only issued as needed.

4. It is stated that the follow‐up repairs include all travel, per diem and first eight (8) hours of labor for service. Should we assume that each follow‐up will be a maximum of eight hours? If we were to return to the base and work for four days (for example) inspecting repaired leaks would we be paid for thirty‐ two hours or only eight?

Answer‐ The follow‐up service is for 8 hours of work only. If we have a case of multiple repairs that need to be re‐inspected, we would request a "estimate" of the amount of time needed to complete the reinspection. If required, additional quantities of the line item may be funded.

5. Approximately how many leaks were found during the last survey?

Answer‐ The last inspection found 12 leaks in the system. Ten were on service lines and 2 were on main lines.
