Questions & Answers

Q78. We have not been able to get the assessed value of the property at Vandenberg. Will the government please provide this information?

A78. The information requested is not available at this time – GFE listing is provided.

Q79. Reference below:

Q16. Will the contractor be doing pickup/delivery or does the customer deliver and pick up (ref:

PWS 5.7 Pickup and Delivery)? Which sites will be doing pick up and deliveries, if any? Will the Government furnish vehicles for this task? If contractor is to furnish vehicles at any site will the Government state the type and number of vehicles required since you have that data?

A16. At most locations, the customer delivers. Locations where PMEL will operate a pick-up and delivery function will be identified in location specific RFPs. In the first three locations, Wright Patterson is the only location that operates a pickup and delivery function. However, no vehicles will be provided by the government except in support of specific functions noted within the PWS, i.e. pulling test cell trailer, and travel into restricted access areas which is only at certain locations.

Q80. In response to question 16 the government indicates “none of the first three locations include a Pick-Up and delivery function”. Currently the PMEL at Wright Patterson performs pick-up and delivery. Is it the government’s intent to remove this service on the new contract? If no, will the government provide the vehicle required to support this activity?

A80. This answer was provided incorrectly and was updated as part of the response to question

40. The pickup and delivery function currently operated by Wright Patterson will continue. No vehicles will be provided by the government except in support of specific functions noted within the PWS, i.e. pulling test cell trailer on base, and travel into restricted access areas which is only at certain locations.

Q81. Currently the contractor provides the vehicles for towing the test cell trailer and transporting the TFCU equipment to the many off-base TFCU locations requiring these services.

Is the government going to provide vehicles to support these off-base functions? If no, will the government authorize the contractor to utilize a GSA vehicle lease to obtain these vehicles?

A81. No vehicles will be provided by the government except in support of specific functions noted within the PWS, i.e. pulling test cell trailer on base, and travel into restricted access areas which is only at certain locations. Our current position is GSA vehicle lease cannot be used by contractors in support of this contract.

Q82. Will the government provide a vehicle to support the extremely high volume of on-base on-site calibrations performed each year by the Wright-Patterson PMEL?
