Amendment 1 – Questions/Answers and Proposal Due Date Extension/Site Visit
The purpose of this amendment is to:
1. Provide questions and answers for this solicitation.
a. Can the government define diversity and if diversity is access or path diversity? Example, two vendor provided premise devices or two carriers providing different paths.
For our purposes, diversity would be path diversity.
b. Can the government confirm the service addresses with a full postal address?
Service address: 2395 Kirkbridge Drive, Building 317, Niagara Falls ARS, NY, 14304
c. Does service terminate at a single central location, 2720 Kirkbridge Drive, Niagara Falls, 14304, and the local communication unit will distribute from the central location?
The service currently is DMARC’ed at 2720 Kirkbridge, but should be terminated at 2395 Kirkbridge in the future. (Unknown timeframe)
d. Will the government consider physical site surveys to support the firm fixed price quote.
We can support Site Surveys with advance notice of five business days.
e. Regarding objective 1.2, are the additional 500 DID #’s required to be within the 716-236- XXXX Exchange or can an alternative exchange block be assigned.
500 additional DIDs is acceptable, preferably in the 236-XXXX range. We will accept an alternate exchange if required.
f. One single circuit for both local and LD calling can be used- Is this acceptable? If not, do you have dual entrances? Do you want both circuits in active active design or primary back up?If active active do you want 50 concurrent paths on each circuit?
Our end goal is to have one line for local and LD. We are looking for Active~Active. And for load-balancing, 50/50 is correct.
g. For accurate pricing, please confirm the DMARC address.
Our DMARC in the future is 2395 Kirkbridge Drive. Until Building 806 is demoed (ETIC Unknown) it is currently 2590 Kirkbridge Drive.
h. Is 15 days after contract award a firm date? Realistically, the standard interval to engineer, provision, turn up a circuit and port DIDs is approx. 90-120 business days after the order is submitted- Is that acceptable?
90-120 days is acceptable.
2. Extend the date which proposals must be submitted from 9 July 2025 at 1:00PM EDT to 23 July
2025 at 1:00PM EDT.
All references to proposal submission date and time in the Solicitation are hereby revised to 23 July 2025 at 1:00PM EDT.
3. Set up a site visit prior to the proposal submission date. The site visit will take place 15 July 2025 at 9:00AM EDT at 2395 Kirkbridge Drive, Building 317, Niagara Falls NY 14304.
