Office space is not provided, however the Logistics Readiness Squadron at each installation has agreed to provide a space for associated Missile Alert Facility-Refueler parts/bench stock/repairs.

4 Are there any historical records on maintenance at the facilities so we can gauge the relative fitness of the existing fuel systems? The Civil Engineering Squadron at each installation has data on the associated maintenance/repair actions on each Missile Alert Facility-Refueler.

5 Are the tanks at the sites fitted with Automatic Tank GauIs work to be performed on the Vehicle Identification Readers or is this handled by another contract?ging and high-level alarms? Are these systems to be maintained under this contract or is this handled by another contract? Missile Alert Facility-Refulers are not equipped with Automatic Tank Gauging or high-level arms. Each Missile Alert Facility-Refueler is equipped with high-level shutoff valves.

6 Is work to be performed on the Vehicle Identification Readers or is this handled by another contract? Vehicle Identification Readers are not currently utilized on the Missile Alert Facility-Refuelers, nor are they maintained by an external contract.

7 Are there emergency generators at each site and if so, is the maintenance on the generators performed under this contract or by another entity? Emergency generations are installed/or available on site and are considered a component of the Missile Alert Facility-Refueler and associated maintenance will be required under this contract.

associated contract employees. Any training designed from Bryant Fuels Systems should be coordinated directly with the manufacturer.

10 Can the required maintenance be performed by a single technician (at each site), or does the government expect two technicians?

15 Urgent service calls are also identified in the workload data as happening several times each month at any one site under each main base. Are these also weekends, holidays, 24/7 for standby personnel? Personnel must be available (telephone contact) 24/7 to evaluate Missile Alert Facility-Refueler deficiencies and respond as required. Response will be determined by the severity of the deficiency (determined by contract personnel).

16 Please clarify if resumes are required at the time of proposal submittal. (Reference Proposal Preparation Instructions, Part III – Technical Proposal, Subfactor 2. Manpower/Staffing Plan). Resumes must be provided for all personnel by the beginning of the contract transition period (1 Oct 18).

17 Are the present operators performing daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance, or will the contractor be responsible for this maintenance? Facility Managers (AFSC: 8SXXX) will perform Missile Alert Facility-Refueler daily, weekly, and monthly inspections.

18 What means of communication are required at each Main Base and the MAFs so site personnel are aware of a Technician’s expected arrival? Cellular Phones will allow communication with all installation numbers, to include the Mission Operations Control Center to facilitate Missile Alert Facility visits.

19 Are there any system diagrams or schematics available to gage the number of valves, gauges, meters, filter separators etc.? Please See Attached. (schematics)

20 What are the Personnel Security Clearance requirements for employees on this contract? Personnel will require installation badging and/or inclusion on an Unescorted Entry Authorization Letter as determined by installation.

21 If severe weather conditions prevent a technician from returning to home base when at one of the remote sites, will the Government provide "Rest Over Night" (RON) accommodation (e.g. a bunk in a barracks)? If personnel have been granted access and identified on the Unescorted Entry Authorization Letter for the Missile Alert Facility, members may see accommodations to "Rest Over Night" (RON).
