RFQ AMENDMENT 1: SOLICITATION QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q1: How many levels are there in the Chapel?

A1: There are three (3) main levels, plus choir lofts in two (2) of those. Floor plans were included in the solicitation as Attachment 7 for information purposes.

Q2: Am I required to submit an annual price for each year, and depending on the length of the renovation it could be less than six years?

A2: This is correct. From the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014) – Factor 1: Price, paragraph C, “Total Evaluated Price (TEP). For quote evaluation purposes, contract line items numbers (CLINs) will be evaluated as follows: CLIN 0001 + CLIN 1001 + CLIN 2001 + CLIN 3001 + CLIN 4001 + CLIN 5001 + CLIN 6001 + Six Month Extension of Services Evaluated Price = TEP (calculated on Attachment 3 – Pricing Schedule Worksheet). Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.”

Q3: What is insured under the $5,600,000 additional insurance coverage?

A4: From Perforance Work Statement(PWS) (Attachment 1), 1.2: “The Contractor shall provide additional insurance in the amount of $5,600,000.00 to cover the items identified as “High Value” in the Inventory (Attachment 2).”

Q4: Does the $5,600,000 of additional insurance cover the items designated for on-base storage locations?

A4: No, the additional insurance in PWS 1.2 is for High Value Items which will be store in contractor-provided long-term climate-controlled storage as required in PWS 1.14. The only exception to this is the Holocaust Scrolls Cabinet, Item Key TJ038, which will be moved by the contractor to the USAFA Visitor’s Center for display during renovation. This item is included in the additional insurance to mitigate risk of damage or loss incurred during packaging and transport of the cabinet to and from the Visitor’s Center.

Q5: What are the climate control parameters for long-term storage?

A5: From PWS 1.14 Long-Term Storage:

“The humidity and temperature control shall be set to levels appropriate to prevent damage to Inventory items through the life of the contract. Humidity-sensitive items such as fine art, historic artifacts, delicate paper items, and delicate fabrics shall be kept in humidity- and temperature-controlled storage through the life of the contract. All other items for which humidity is not a factor shall be kept in temperature-controlled storage through the life of the contract. Items shall not be kept in other than climate controlled environment for any period longer than 24 hours, including during transport to a storage location.”

Q6: Which set-aside code are you using?

A6: This acquisition is solicited under full and open competition, with no set-aside.

Q7: Does this contract require vendors to be GSA Schedule 48 contractors?
