FA5709-14-R-0013 One Year Reefer Maintenance Service Solicitation

Interested Bidder Question and Answers

Question #1

Under CLIN 0002, we are required to submit a price for "parts for reefers as needed". Are we required to enter any pricing under this CLIN?

Answer #1

Yes, you are required to provide a price under all CLINs, for the base year and all options. Pricing should come from your company’s historical data from similar work as described in this solicitation. If your company doesn’t have any historical data, then I would advise you to refer back to a Reefer manufacturer for an estimate on various parts and repair cost.

Question #2

Shall we provide any pricing for CLIN 0003, Service calls? If yes, please clarify the content of the service required, and also what does quantity "12" stand for? Does it mean 12 service calls annually?

Answer #2

As stated in question one, all CLINs should have a price included in them. The service required is outlined in the PWS under paragraph 1.2, and the “12” stands for 12 service call per Reefer unit, annually.

The content of the "Service Call" will vary. Service Calls are included in this contract to provide repairs for unexpected failures of the refrigeration equipment. The quality of Preventative Maintenance (PM) being performed on the Reefer's will directly impact the type and frequency of Service Calls. If PM's are being completed as per manufacturers recommendations (as defined in the contract), Service Calls should be minimal.
