2. Can you confirm if there is an incumbent performing this work or if it is a new requirement? I’ve seen the contracts that are currently in place for the grounds maintenance and base operations, is there any relation to this e ort or completely separate?

A: This requirement is separate from grounds maintenance and base operations contract(s). Work was previously performed through a Base Operations Service (BOS) contract. The contract expired on 31 July 2026 and there is currently no incumbent in place.

3. Is there any incumbent/recompete or is this a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past.

A: There is no current incumbent. Reference the answer to question 1 above.

4. The first page of the solicitation states prices remain valid up to 90 days from date of o er. The instructions section states 60 days from date of o er. Which one should we refer to?

A: Price validity has been updated to reflect 60 days from date of o er on the Combo Solicitation.

5. Diesel fuel is to be supplied by the contractor for the generator on site? If so, is there a bulk storage tank? What is the capacity of the tank?

A: The capacity of the Rehlko Model 40Reozk is 279 gallons. There is no onsite bulk storage tank(s). The generator has been at 82% since June 2025 which reflects low consumption. The system turns on automatically on Wednesday of each week for cycling. The system is refueled at 50%.

6. If the contractor is to supply the diesel fuel for the generator, is the fuel tax exempt? Will the government provide the contractor with a letter for the tax exemption?

A: The contractor is to supply diesel fuel with required taxes applied. No tax exemption letter will be provided by the Government.

7. Is lawn care required under the grounds keeping?

A: Yes, lawn care is provided by a separate grounds maintenance contract. However, it is a requirement for the maintenance contractor selected for this procurement to clear (blow o ) the Air Force Memorial grounds and parking lot areas once a day or as needed.

8. Is snow removal required under the grounds keeping?

A: Yes, snow removal services are provided as part of grounds maintenance. These services are provided under a separate contract vehicle. This facilities maintenance procurement requires the contractor to place safety signs to inform guests of safety risk during incremental weather-related events.

9. The price spreadsheet shows one (1) base period of 12 months and four (4) option periods of six (6) months each but at the top it shows one (1) year base period and four

(4) option periods of 12 months each. The previous award was five (5) years total. Will this also be the same or just a three (3) year total contract?

A: The anticipated contract will consist of a one (1) year base period and four (4) – six (6) month option period for a total of three (3) years, with one 6-month option extension (In accordance with FAR 52.217-8) – Combo Solicitation paragraph 1.10.1 updating.

Please confirm the minimum required daily on-site sta ing during the 0700-1700 operating period. Specifically, does the Government require one qualified Facility Manager plus two General Laborers physically present each day, with a separately designated qualified Alternate Facility Manager available for relief and coverage?

A: It is a requirement that daily, Monday – Friday, 0700-1700, the contractor supplies the Air Force Memorial with one (1) Facility Manager and two (2) general laborers, physically present.

• Water leaks with possible facility damage

14. Service Call Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) Pricing

PWS Section 2.3.5 describes billable service calls as Contracting O icer Representative (COR) approved work based on estimated labor hours, labor categories, and reimbursable parts. Attachment 2 nevertheless requires o erors to enter pricing for a Service Call CLIN. Please clarify how o erors should price this CLIN.

A: Pricing worksheet has been revised. The Government will fund this CLIN upon contract award.

16. Electrical Maintenance and Repair Scope

During the site visit, attendees were advised that electrical work is outside the anticipated contract scope. The PWS nevertheless requires the Facility Manager to possess working knowledge of electrical systems and contains maintenance and service call requirements that could involve electrical deficiencies. Please confirm whether the contractor’s responsibility for electrical deficiencies is limited to inspection, identification, reporting, and coordination of Government-approved service-call or subcontracted repairs.

A: Electrical work is not outside of the contract scope. If electrical work is needed, outside of the contractor’s skillset, the contractor must obtain a subcontractor with the appropriate skillset.

17. Snow Removal and Landscaping / Grounds Maintenance

During the site visit, the Government advised that snow removal, grass cutting, landscaping, and other grass-related maintenance are performed by a separate grounds contractor.

A: Yes, a separate contract services all lawn care and snow removal services.

18. Weekend and After-Hours Event Support

PWS Section 6.11 establishes normal operations Monday through Sunday from 0700- 1700. PWS Section 2.2.1 states that events requiring additional personnel, events outside normal hours, and events “on weekends” will be treated as service calls. Please clarify whether an event occurring on Saturday or Sunday between 0700 and 1700 is included within the fixed-price Event Support requirement or should be treated as a billable Service Call. Please also confirm whether events outside 0700-1700 or requiring sta ing beyond the minimum on-site workforce are billable Service Calls.

A: Outside of normal hours are billable service calls. See revised Pricing Worksheet that adds the Special Event Services CLIN.

19. Government-Furnished / On-Site Equipment

During the site visit, an exterior storage shed containing event-support equipment was identified, and an electric blower was discussed for exterior maintenance activities.

Please provide or confirm the Government-furnished equipment and event-support equipment that will be available to the successful contractor at contract start, including equipment located in the exterior shed. Please also confirm whether the electric blower is Government-furnished or contractor-furnished.

A: The contractor must furnish an electric blower and ample additional battery supply to clear (blow o ) the Air Force Memorial grounds with no required battery charging times. Special event equipment is furnished by the Government; however, the contractor is required to provide assembly and disassembly for special events. No special event equipment is provided by the contractor.

20. Historical Service-Call Volume

For proposal pricing purposes, can the Government provide the approximate number of routine and emergency service calls experienced during the most recent 12-month period, including the approximate number occurring outside normal operating hours?

A: During the most recent 12-month period, the Air Force Memorial/Government supported three (3) weekend events. Requests for weekend events are infrequent.

23. Do you have any guidance for the pricing worksheet? For example, Section 2.3.5 of the PWS states that service calls will be quoted by estimated man hours, then billed for actual man hours. On the pricing worksheet, CLIN 0004's unit of measurement is monthly. Are we estimating how many hours-of-service calls would be performed per month? If so, would this number be treated as a Not to Exceed price?

And for further clarification, are CLIN 0002-0005 our monthly estimates for each line item?

A: Pricing worksheet has been revised. The Government will fund this CLIN upon contract award.

24. The cleaning mentioned is under the “grounds" scope of work, and there does not appear to be a section describing interior cleaning.

A: Yes, contractor provided parts reimbursable by the government.

52. Section 2.3 is unclear about which, if any, of the di erent service calls listed are included in the base price or if they are billable.

A: Service calls revised and broken out into 3 separate billable CLINs Routine, Special Events and Emergency in PWS and on Pricing Worksheet. Reimbursable CLIN should not be priced by the contract. This will be provided as an NTE by the Government.

70. (6.11 Sta ing) Does “this individual" refer to an alternate facility manager?

A: Section 6.11 revised to refer to the Facility Manager.

71. (6.11) This section seems to indicate there should be two facility managers and one laborer, which contradicts the first part, The contractor shall supply one (1) facility manager and at minimum two (2) general laborer personnel daily to support the scope of work for this contract. Please clarify.

A: Section 6.11 revised. The scope of this work requires minimum of 3 personnel (Facility Manager and 2 laborers during normal weekday working hours and 1 laborer during weekend hours. Any alternate Facility Managers must meet the qualifications of the position.

72. (6.11) This seems to contradict the statement above that a minimum of 2 laborers are required onsite each day. It sounds like two facility managers are required and a single laborer. Can you please clarify if you have minimum onsite sta ing requirements for specific hours? OR, is the contractor responsible for providing sta ing that meets the performance work requirements?

A: Answered in question # 49.

73. (6.11) The duties are designated for the facility manager (e.g., 2.1.1 Communication,

What are the duties not designated for the facility manager? The PWS seems to indicate event support is the only duty, along with some non-technical service calls; what other duties require two laborers onsite daily?

A: Section 2 of the PWS describes the performance work and the responsibility of Facility Manager to ensure the performance work requirement is met. The minimum sta ing of two

(2) laborers ensures successful completion of the performance work requirements.

Historically, these minimum sta ing requirements have yielded the best performance results for success at the AFM.

74. Must the contractor provide a total of 3 people onsite during all core hours (10 hrs. a day, 7 days a week, except the 3 holidays per year)?

A: Yes, minimum 3 personnel during the weekday and 1 during the weekend.

75. Is it the government's intention that the Facility Manager will be qualified to (and will) perform maintenance and repairs onsite?

A: Yes, anything within the skillset shall be required to be repaired by the Facility Manager.

He/she should have judgement to understand what is and isn’t not within their skillset.

76. If "laborers" are expected to perform these services, shouldn't the General Maintenance Worker wage category 23370 apply instead of Laborer wage category 23470?

If custodial services are required, will the Janitor 11150 wage category apply instead of laborer wage category?

A: Contractor should select the best laborer wage category to ensure performance work success.

77. (WD 2015-4281) Revision 38 was issued July 30. Will the new version be incorporated into the award or will revision 37 remain active until a new WD is incorporated for option period 1?

A: The newest WD will be incorporated upon award.

78. (Price Sheet) Can you please describe the PWS sections that should be included in the price for each CLIN?

A: All sections of the PWS should be addressed/priced in the first CLIN with the exception of Sections that are addressed separately on the pricing sheet (i.e. Pest Control, Facility Manager, etc).

79. All CLINs have a QTY equal to the POP, and unit of months, which typically indicates fixed prices invoiced monthly. Are all these CLINs expected to be billed monthly as fixed price services, equaling the annual price divided by the number of months for work covered under the base contract?

A: See revised Pricing Sheet.

80. Can you please indicate the services that are included on this CLIN or provide other general guidance, so that the government is able to clearly compare the prices of di erent o erors?

A: Unclear on what CLIN is being referred to.

81. How should o erors distribute the labor over the CLINs (e.g., what types of work should this CLIN)?

A: PWS describes what is required for each CLIN.

82. At the site visit, o erors were told that the contract included indoor custodial services, but there is no scope related to custodial. If custodial services are required, will the price be listed on this CLIN on the price sheet?

A: There will be no indoor custodial services for this requirement.

83. Should this price include the cost of the subcontractor and a portion of the Facility Manager labor to supervise the subcontractor? If not, what should be included on this CLIN? Is it billed in equal monthly payments on a firm fixed price for entire POP divided by the number of months (even though the services may be scheduled at various time throughout the POP)?

A: Supervision of sub-contractor work is expected to by part of pricing for Facilities Management.

84. The term “service manager" does not appear in the PWS. What goes on this CLIN? Is this for the cost of Facility Manager(s) described in the solicitation? Please clarify what should be included in this CLIN (e.g., labor only for the services described in section 2.1 Facility Manager?

A: CLIN 0002 revised to Facility Manager in accordance with PWS.

85. "The price sheet calls for pricing 12 months of service calls. Is this CLIN for reimbursable service calls? If so, there is no way to price reimbursable service calls in advance without knowing how long each will take. Can the government please provide the price for this line based on its estimated need for the services, so the contractor can bill approved work against it?

A: Revised price sheet reflects max number of service calls per category, per year.

86. (2.3.5 Billable Service Calls) If this CLIN is for reimbursable billable service calls, the monthly pricing does not make sense for the CLIN, as the costs cannot be determined by o erors, since there is no quantifiable data to price. The scope describes billing for actual hours worked, but the CLIN should have hourly rates and a quantifiable number of hours.

Please clarify how this CLIN will be billed and how the price will be evaluated. It appears the terms of the contract will require the government to pay for actual hours worked on billable service calls, so if the amount of approved reimbursable service calls exceed the amount on this CLIN. Will the gov. add additional funding to the CLIN when it is exhausted or is the contractor responsible for additional hours without reimbursement when the CLIN is exhausted?

A: Revised price sheet reflects max number of service calls. Reimbursable CLIN is Not to Exceed (NTE). To be used for reimbursable expenses from service calls or other reimbursable items/expenses. The Government will fund the reimbursable CLIN.

89. If materials are not reimbursable, as the PWS says in section 2.1.12, Why is there a CLIN for "reimbursable materials"?

Please advise.

90. The contractor must estimate the cost of non-reimbursable materials to be covered in the fixed price portion of the contract, to be billed monthly. Is it your intention for this to be where o erors put our estimated monthly fixed price for non-reimbursable materials? If this CLIN indeed refers to reimbursable "parts," does the contractor need to fill out CLIN 0005? Or will the government provide a budget for this CLIN?

92. On the prior solicitation FA706023R0002 for O&M at this site, the price sheet for these two CLINs had a QTY of 1 and a price of NTE. If these CLINs are for billable work, can the government provide a budget number for these two lines, since the o erors have no basis to estimate these unknown services that may be required in the future POP that will be billed as reimbursable services are approved and completed? If these two CLINs are supposed to be billed monthly in equal installments, will you revise the scope to reflect that the services will not be billable; they will be included in a monthly fixed price CLIN instead.

A: If referring to the reimbursable CLIN, answered in question #68.
