Sue Saucier, Supervisory Contracting Officer

The purpose of this Amendment 0003 to RFQ GS-10-P-17-LS-C-0002 is to provide answers to the questions GSA received on May 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017 (answers are in blue font).

Questions and Answers

Q1. I have a couple of quick question regarding the survey reporting requirements as outlined in the subject solicitations. Specifically, the PWS includes the need to prepare an “Annual Fire Safety Survey” worksheet for each building surveyed. The PWS indicates that worksheet is attached. Are we correct in assuming that this requirement is actually referring to the NFPA’s “Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) worksheet for Business Occupancies” that was included with the solicitation package? We just wish to ensure that another specific document was not included with the solicitation package;

since the worksheet name included in the solicitation does not match that which was included in the package.

[A1] Refer to the attachment titled “7. Fire Safety Survey Worksheet” in Amendment 1.

Q2. Secondly, given that a newer edition (2016) of NFPA 101A exists, the Guide whereby this worksheet resides, are we to continue to utilize the 2013 edition of this worksheet; as this was the edition included in the package for each solicitation, or should we plan on utilizing the most recent edition published by NFPA? I thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

[A2] Offerors shall plan to utilize 2013 edition of NFPA 101A.

Q3. Answer A1b in Amendment 1 stated that “the offeror must have a minimum of 10 years as a registered fire protection engineer or a minimum of 10 years experience in the 0804 series within the Federal Government.” Does this mean all individuals performing the survey must have ten years of experience AFTER obtaining their FPE license? For example, one of our registered fire protection engineers is in their tenth year of experience, but only five of those years came after the individual obtained their license. Would that person satisfy the experience requirement?

[A3] All individuals performing the surveys must have a minimum of 10 years experience after obtaining their FPE license.

Q4. I have some questions about level of detail to which these surveys are taken, and seeing an acceptable previous example may answer those instead of me submitting another bunch of RFIs.

● PWS Paragraph 5.2.4 states that “A copy of a previous Fire Safety and Environmental Survey Report or Fire Safety Survey Report will be made available upon request to use as an example of what is expected for the written report.” Please provide a copy of a previous Fire Safety Survey Report.

[A4] Due to the proprietary nature of the report, a copy of the previous Fire Safety Survey Report will only be provided to the Awardee(s) after the award(s) is(are) made.
