Questions and Answers 7 Feb 2011

Q: The Summary of Changes (Amendment 0003), clearly states that “The number of copies required has decreased by 2 from 3 to 1” However, the attachment still states that “three (3) complete copies” of Volume II are required. Which is correct? Is there to be one (1) copy of each volume?

A: The number of copies for the PRICING Volume (Volume I) has changed from 3 to 1 because the offer schedule is so large. 3 copies of the PAST PERFORMANCE Volume (Volume II) are still requested.

Q: The statement, “Request Volume II be submitted 15 calendar days prior to proposal due date” has been added to this attachment (Amendment 0003). With the proposal due date of 11 Feb 2011, this is not possible. Is the Volume II information to be submitted along with the Price Volume on 11 Feb 2011? Or will the proposal due date be postponed to accommodate the needed time?

A: The statement “REQUEST VOLUME II BE SUBMITTED 15 CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO PROPOSAL DUE DATE” was not added by amendment, this statement was included in the original solicitation issued on 7 Jan 11, however, we will accept past performance volumes until the proposal due date.

Q: Are base passes required in order to deliver the offer in person? What arrangements are necessary?

A: If you are submitting the proposals in person, you will need to drive to the visitor’s center outside the Berkeley Gate. If you call this office (919-722-5421), a contracting representative will pick up your proposal at the visitors center.
