| On Attachment 8 the following LI’s are described as “for work above 12' H" (0002, 0004, 0006, 0008, 0010, 0012, 0014, 0016, 0024, 0037, 0039, 0041, 0043, 0045, 0047, 0049, 0051, 0053, 0057, 0059, 0065, 0067, 0069, 0071, 0073, 0075, 0077, 0079, 0081, 0083, 0085, 0087, 0089, 0091, 0093, 0095, 0103, 0105, 0119, 0123, 0125, 0133, 0135). On Attachment 9 references to Attachment 8 Work Item #’s are described as “work above 12' H (RS Means +25% for equipment)”. Please clarify, are Attachment 8 and 9 LI’s 0002, 0004, 0006, 0008, 0010, 0012, 0014, 0016, 0024, 0037, 0039, 0041, 0043, 0045, 0047, 0049, 0051, 0053, 0057, 0059, 0065, 0067, 0069, 0071, 0073, 0075, 0077, 0079, 0081, 0083, 0085, 0087, 0089, 0091, 0093, 0095, 0103, 0105, 0119, 0123, 0125, 0133, and 0135 to include necessary equipment for working at elevations above 12FT? This cut-off is not reasonable: equipment cost for work on a 14’ interior wall or ceiling will be significantly less than equipment cost for exterior work at 20’+, or in unique areas, such as the dome roof/ceiling over F/30001 train rail area. Please consider allowing equipment and equipment related expenses to be priced with a separate coefficient when negotiating individual task orders, which could be priced/determined prior to the IDIQ program award? | Yes. Quotes will be in accordance with the equipment required to perform the work. Quote should reflect all costs whether interior or exterior project. |
| Please clarify the following language in window LI’s 0070, 0072, 0074 on Attachment 8/9: “Use window square footage"? On Attachment 9, what actual quantity of window frame should be included in 742SF? How many LF of window frame? | Total sqft of windows was calculated by taking total height x width, we did not subtract any amount for the glass. |
| Please clarify Attachment 9 LI#0070, are the frames steel, and what is the extent of “prepare window frames”? Are the steel frames rusting through which would require steel/welding modifications, or is preparation limited to cleaning off dirt/dust? | Preparing window frames should include removing loose paint, prep surface for paint. They will not be repairing any frames. |
| A pattern is noticed as I am developing a pricing scheme for the Attachment 8 Call Sheet: LI 0001 “prepare wall surface for painting…” vs. LI 0003 “remove loose and flaking paint on wall surfaces…”. This is repeated at LI’s 0009/0011 for ceilings, at LI’s 0036/0038 for exterior wood siding, at LI’s 0046/0048 for exterior stucco, concrete and CMU, at LI’s 0052/0054 for metal wall surfaces, at LI’s 0060/0061 for roof surfaces, at LI’s 0078/0080 for fascia/trim, at LI’s 0088/0090 for pipes, and at LI’s 0096/0097 for stairs. Is the intent for the combination of LI’s indicated here, that the first line “prepare surface” should be priced as a typical light wipe down/wash where the second line “remove loose and flaking paint” should be priced for a heavier scrape, sand and clean? There are many nuances to take into consideration when evaluating surface preparation which is not addressed well in Attachment 8 Call Sheet. Couple Examples: A: LI 0001 can be priced to repair imperfections left by wall hangings, dings, dents, scratches, gouges, etc., or LI 0001 can be priced as a simple wipe down prior to paint. By limiting task order scopes to LI’s from Attachment 8 Call Sheet, both the contractor and government are unable to apply the most effective Call Sheet scope lines to the specific work. B: LI 0046 can be priced using as a typical pressure wash of an exterior wall, but if CMU walls requires block filler or concrete walls are required to be rubbed out, or if there are other repairs to be made, the Call Sheet LI may not cover the true cost of preparing the wall surfaces “as specified by the Government for painting”. | The break-out is by types of surface and heights. |
I went through the 07JUL20 updated solicitation and wasn’t able to find that the bidder had to be located in Ohio.
