10. Page 37, section (f), bullet point 2, requires complete pricing information for CLIN 0001- CLIN3001AU be included in Vol. II-Contract Documentation…however, on the same page, in the same section, bullet point 4 requires ‘All pricing information must be included in the section of the bid designated as Price Volume [Vol. I-Pricing]….Under no circumstances shall this information be documentation included elsewhere in the bid.” Please clarify where pricing should be located in the proposal. Attachment 2 needs a detailed cost breakdown.

11. Is Paint reimbursable for all CLIN SOWs or only in relation to signage? If Paint is reimbursable across all line items then Contractor costing should only reflect indirect labor, direct labor, incidental materials/tools and Supervisions/GCs. Is this an accurate interpretation? Paint is reimbursable for all CLINS. All Materials. Labor is not included as a reimbursable. Reimbursable cost will be decided on each task order. Do not worry about Reimbursable cost on the Base Contract.

12. Sign Blanks: Page 20 of SOW calls for 200 Sq. Ft./year. Attachment 2 Blank Estimate line item 1AP lists 12 sq. ft./year. It’s difficult zero in on volume pricing with this large of a delta. 200 is a low number. KTR needs to price out attachment 2 spreadsheet.

13. Is the intent for Sign Blanks to be manufactured from raw materials within the Sign Shop, or is Sign Shop and equipment provided for Coating/Letter Application only? Contactor should purchase metal and vinyl and charge it under reimbursable CLIN and put sign together in shop.

No. KTR needs to price out attachment 2 spreadsheet.

18. Is contractor to include Supervision and other direct overhead to be carried in each line item within IDIQ pricing or will these costs be carried within individual task orders? Read revised attachment 2. LPTA will be based on total cost.

19. What line items are to be totaled at the bottom of each sheet for following: Projected Interior Paint Costs and Projected Exterior Paint Costs? Read revised attachment 2.

20. For Sheet Option Year 3: What is the intent of Guaranteed Minimum?

Whichever company(ies) get awarded the base contract the Minimum Guarantee means that you will be awarded at least a minimum of $2,000.

21. Does it cover rentals on lifts and pressure washers? Contractor shall provide pressure washer.

Rental lifts will be based upon approval from Contracting Officer Representative through a reimbursable approval. Most exterior painting will be done by ladder.

22. Does line1AN (pressure washing) pertain to line 1AA (exterior painting) or will there be additional pressure washing on the exterior prior to painting? They are separate clins. Price out separately.

Window frame – 1 HM frame)) Square Feet only.

28. ITEM # 0001 AD - Please differentiate what Offerors are to price between Walls, Base and crown mold, Door frames and Doors. Walls will be Interior painting, but Door Frames/Crown mold should be same as interior trims. Wall is considered (paint interior). Base, Doors, Door Frames/Crown mold are (partial interior and trim).

29. ITEM # 0001 AB – What are substrates to be coated (I.E., CMU, Stucco, Wood or Metal siding)?
