Questions from 08/17/2016

1. PWS does not indicate any requirement for the installation or relocation of electrical power outlets. Is electrical work omitted from the scope?

It is anticpated that some electical rework is required but not listed in the performance work statement as the contractor will determine the best way to provide the proper power to the system.

2. PWS provides limited description of furniture size and specifications (both desk/table and chair) -i.e. color, height, load bearing tolerances, cable management, drawers, etc. Can the furniture be of local Japanese make? Other than being able to place the monitors and PC equipment mentioned in the PWS, are there any other specific technical requirements for the furniture?

The furniture has no specifications other than it will need to be able to fit in the room to accomidate 30 workstations. The contractor will bid what funiture they are going to provide for this project and will be accepted by the government before award.

3. Asbestos testing or abatement is not mentioned in the PWS. Yokota AB is known to have bldgs that contain ACM. Are there available test results for B714, or is contractor required to test and abate as necessary?

The attached asbestos report showing where asbestos will be an issue. The area to focus on in the report is “USFJ-55” as that is where the work will be accomplished.

4. Page 4 of the Solicitation indicates a delivery date of 15 November 2016, which is only 83 calendar days after proposal due date. Should the Government award within 14 calendar days, this still only allows for approximately 70 days for performance. Given the scope of this project – confirm site conditions post award, procure materials, potentially test/mitigate ACM, and execute removal and installation works to include programming, testing and commissioning of new VTC system – would the Government allow for a longer performance period common with projects of this type?

We can adjust timeline as required.
