Attachment 7 - Question and Answer.docx

Q&A 1

1) With regard to the carpeting projects, what materials will be purchased by the Government and what will the contractor be responsible for purchasing?

Response: Upon award the contractor will be responsible for purchasing all materials and providing labor related to the carpet project. Once the install is completed the contractor will submit an invoice for payment. The contractor will have to purchase some of the materials through mandatory vendors at pre-negotiated rates in accordance with solicitation’s attachment 5, USAF Carpet Program Ordering Guide. The remainder of the materials not covered there will have to be procured by the contractor from vendors of its choice.

2) Will the carpeting be selected and purchased per the existing USAF contracts in place now? How do the samples requested per the Solicitation correlate with the USAF contracts?

Response: Yes Response: The USAF contract is carpet and adhesive only. The IDIQ contract has the ancillary items to execute the project such as installation, rubber base, vinyl reducer etc., and other flooring materials not on the USAF contract ( VCT, LVT, Rubber Flooring, and Porcelain Tile). The samples requested are only for items not covered under the existing USAF contracts in place now.
