Heavy Equipment Rental Questions & Answers

1. It states in the provided documents that the contractor will provide Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) replacements and refilling in required equipment. We would have a person onsite, but can we provide a tank onsite for the operators to fuel the equipment themselves?

Answer: We will have a fuel truck on site that will be fueling the equipment with diesel. We are requesting the contractor only provide the DEF refills for the equipment when needed.

2. Under item CLIN 0004 it states Two (2) Single Drum Vibratory Roller, CAT Model CS12, or equal with a quantity of 4. Are you wanting 8 of those pieces of equipment under that item or just 4?

Answer: We want a total of two Single Drum Vibratory Rollers, CAT Model CS12 or equal.

However, we want one of the rollers for four months and the other roller for only one month.

6. Can only Small Business entities submit bids for your rental needs at the 819th Red Horse Squadron? If we’re able to bid this for your consideration, can it be submitted via email?

Answer: The government is requesting quotes, as opposed to bids and the quotes shall be submitted via email In Accordance With (IAW) the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation dated 16 mailto:deivid.baez.co.@us.af.mil mailto:deivid.baez.co@us.af.mil

March 2023. Under the current Small Business (SB) set-aside solicitation, I can only consider SBs. However, that does not prevent you from submitting a quote.

IAW FAR 19.502-2, if the contracting officer receives no acceptable offers from responsible small business concerns, the set-aside shall be withdrawn and the requirement, if still valid, shall be resolicited on an unrestricted basis.

Your quote won’t be considered for FA489723QC007, but can be used as information to determine what an acceptable offer is.

Additionally, our rental needs are not at the 819th Red Horse Squadron. Please see the place of delivery on page 1 of the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation dated 16 March 2023 and the specification sheet dated 19 Dec 2022.
