4. Who is the current contractor performing this contract, and what is the yearly total value of the current/incumbent contract?
GEG Gebäudedienste GmbH , FA561318D0001/ FA560623F0112 -
5. Regarding the Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs schedule, does the sum of total area in the Quantity column represent the entire area of the facilities to be cleaned? Or Is there any facility listed twice due to different cleaning levels?
The entire area of the facilities is represented – see bid schedule
Can we get the Reference APPENDIX C - Floor Plans and Maps , because clear understanding of the total area of each section would be helpful to estimate the number of cleaners needed.
Appendix C has been posted as a 2nd amendment to the solicitation in SAM
6. Is it acceptable if the contractor has only ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, but not RAL-GZ-902 certification, given that our ISO certifications are specialized for facility management services? In case RAL-GZ-902 certification is a must can we submit within the proposal proof that acquiring the certificate is under process with a condition that certificate will be available upon award ?
ISO 9001 is sufficient – we changed PWS
7. Should the past performance form be sent directly to the Airforce by our client, or should it be attached to the proposal and sent by our company?
Instructions are listed in Attachment 2
1. Is it possible to conduct a site visit?
No
RAL-GZ-902 Certification requirement:
1. Will the Prime be required to have this certification, or may a subcontractor to the Prime only be required to have the certification?
2. Shall the RAL certification or the pending certification be valid at the time of proposal submission, or by contract start date?
3. Recently, Ramstein AB removed this requirement from a similar Custodial RFP/I, is this something that is being still discussed for this RFP prior to the submission date?
RAL-GZ-902 has been removed from the PWS – see 1st. amendment
Controlled Facilities (if any):
1. How many facilities and what area size areas will require an escort for custodial personnel to enter?
No controlled facilities - No escorts needed for cleaning
2. How long is the expected wait time to gain entrance to such facilities? Will there be a min/maximum wait time after notification of escort?
See answer above
In addition to the below questions, it is apparent to us that any expendable items usage data that you may have for: Paper towels, Toilet Paper and hand soap usage data would be beneficial for the bidders to know. Could this be provided?
1. Could you also provide clarification about the QCP? In then PWS, Page 37 it mentions this is due with the proposal.
Quality Control Plan, must be provided by Vendor
2. Hazardous Material Identification, in the PWS- page 20, it states this is due with the proposal in both English and German upon contract award. Please clarify as it is understood that the English MSDS’ are provided with the proposal and the German version MSDS’ are due at contract award (not with the propsal).
Need to be provided with Proposal – PWS will be changed.
Please clarify the working hours for each shift per building.
Cleaning only during normal working hours 0730-1630 Monday - Friday except Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility closings.
Per PWS 4.15, "The contract manager or alternate shall be available during normal duty hours to meet on the installation within 1 hour with the government personnel designated by the CO to discuss problem areas." Does this mean that the contracting manager and alternate are not required to be on-site?
That is correct.
Is there a place for washing machines to clean equipment?
No
The unions are currently seeking an increase in their rate, which could increase after the contract is awarded. How should we price this?
Can not be answered.
