Lifeguard Services FA9401-26-Q-0027: Solicitation Q&As Question Government Response

1 Option Period Discrepancy: Section (f) of the Instructions to Offerors states pricing should be proposed for "a base period plus four (4) 1-year option periods and a 6-month extension." However, the SF-1449 Schedule of Supplies/Services lists five option periods (Option Line Items 1001-5001), with Option Period 5 covering only 9 months rather than a 6-month extension under FAR 52.217-8. Could you confirm the correct number of priced option periods and whether Option Period 5 (9 months) is separate from, or is intended to represent, the FAR 52.217-8 extension?

The contract period of performance will not exceed 5 years of service and will have the RFO Clause 52.217-8 for an additional 6 months (outside of the 5-years) if required.

Base Period- 3 months Option year 1- 12 months Option year 2- 12 months Option year 3- 12 months Option year 4- 12 months Option period 5- 9 months RFO 52.217-8- 6 months.

Upon award, RFO 52.217-8 CLINS will be removed. As this is an only if required clause.

2 Pool Chemical Management: Since contractor personnel are prohibited from handling or balancing pool chemicals, who is responsible for chemical treatment and replenishment (a separate CE contractor, base civil engineering staff, etc.), and what is the expected response time if the contractor reports a water quality deficiency?

NetCentric the BMC is not prohibited from handling chemicals or performing the pool treatment . The BMC (Netcentric) contractor is responsible to manage the pools water treatment. They choose to hire a vendor(Pools and Spas) for this service.

Emergency response times are 1 hour during working hours or 2 hours during off work hours. Not sure at what point chlorine levels become emergency and should be a case by case basis.
