| Question | Answer | |
| 1 | The Market Price for Propane fluctuates and you are requesting a Firm Fixed Price agreement. How will this be addressed? | Under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) there are ways to accommodate Propane price fluctuations. Initially, the prices submitted in response to the RFQ are to be guaranteed until 6/30/2016. After 6/30/16 and until 5/31/21, the BPA holders (contractors) will submit an updated pricelist to the Contracting Officer (CO) for approval. The "Approved Pricelist" will be the basis for each successive order for Propane until superceeded by a new approved pricelist. As the market price of Propane fluctuates (up or down), the respective BPA contractors are encouraged to submit updated pricelists for CO approval. |
| 2 | Will there be an Economic Price Adjustment incorporated into the BPA to accommodate the LP Gas Price increases? | No, throughout the 5-year BPA the process described in the answer for Question One (above) will serve as the method for price adjustments. Each successive "Approved Pricelist" will serve as the basis for pricing. |
| 3 | Who owns the propane storage tanks located at Edwards Main Base, AFRL, and AF Plant 42? | All tanks are owned by the respective Government facilities. |
| 4 | The solicitation indicates that the requirement is to resupply propane storage tanks ranging in size up to 10,000 gallons. How many tanks are located at the three locations noted and can you estimate the average number of gallons used per year for each of the locations? | The number and sizes of storage tanks are as follows: Edwards AFB (10-Tanks ranging in size from 500 gl to 10,000 gl.)///AFRL (8-Tanks ranging in size from 1,000 gl to 12,200 gl)///AF Plant 42 (1-Tank at 20,000 gl). ///Average usage per year for each of the facilities: (Edwards Main Base--20,000 gl); (AFRL--51,000 gl); and (AF Plant 42--7000 gl). The maximum quantity of propane to be delivered (on any given day) is estimated to be under 10,000 gl. |
| 5 | Approximately how often is each facility resupplied? | Propane usage is seasonal and the need to resupply the storage tanks occurs primarily from October through March each year with a few propane deliveries occurring April through September. During the high usage season, deliveries occur approximately once per week with the combined quantity delivered ranging from 3,000 gl to 8,000 gl per delivery day and the number of tanks serviced per delivery ranging from 3 to 9 tanks for tanks located at both Edwards Main Base and AFRL combined. Propane delivery for AF Plant 42 occurs one or two times per year. |
| 6 | Do you expect the usage figures to go up or down in the next five years? | Usage has remained consistent for the past two years (70,000 to 80,000 gallons annually) and is not expected to vary unless the Edwards AFB region experiences an unusually warm or cold winter season. There are no planned additions or deletions of storage tanks at this time. |
| 7 | Period of Performance states a 5 year contract. Are there no yearly provisions for increases? | This requirement will be utilizing a Blanket Purchase Agreement as opposed to a contract. An "Approved Pricelist" will be utilized to accommodate price changes. See Question 1. |
| 8 | Will the successful bidder be required to actually provide propane deliveries and/or requested service or does this RFQ allow a small business that does not own, operate, or employ any propane related equipment or staff to bid and then subcontract all deliveries and service to an actual propane company? | In Paragraph 2, "DESCRIPTION OF AGREEMENT" the contractor (the company selected to enter into the BPA with Edwards AFB) is designated as the entity who will provide everything necessary to deliver Propane and provide the minor repairs as needed. |
| 9 | Who is the current contractor? | Edwards AFB has two contractors who are providing Propane to Edwards AFB and AFRL under 2 BPAs. The contractors are as follows: Merrimac Energy Group of Long Beach, CA and MDB Services of Orlando, FL. |
