Questions Response

1.

Can you tell me how many cases of the 1 liter Extended Shelf Life water that would be needed for replenishment in DC's Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and Moffett

A minimum of 18,000 liters and maximum of 150,000 liters of water per delivery order; See Para IV of Extended Shelf Life SOW

2.

Would you please consider adding to the Specific Requirements?

Primary Container: (box, pouch. 12 oz recyclable can or similar biodegradable package) suitable for water consumption. Vendor:

Britt's Industries, Inc

The water shall be packaged in a 1-liter re-closable and biodegradable packaging (box, pouch or similar biodegradable package) suitable for water consumption. The container shall not contain any sharp edges that could possibly injure the user.

I was wondering the method of payment from FEMA for the solicitation of bottled water # HSFE70-17-R-0019

4. Please advise if country of origin (Panama) will be accepted Yes, per the Trade Agreement Act.

5.

Can we obtain an abstract of the last awarded bid/price for the items on this bid/ pre-solicitation along with the brand awarded? If archived, is there a site we can obtain the abstract

No particular brand mandated. See FPDSNG for contract information

6.

In several sections, it references sending a sample by the deadline of the RFP due date. I can’t find in the RFP were there are instructions on where to send that sample, or how it needs to be labeled. Can you advise on the section in the RFP or the attachments provided where it gives these specific details?

RFP Page 52: Offerors shall submit extended shelf life water sample to: Federal Emergency Management Agency, ATTN: Jonathan Igwebueze; 500 C Street SW, Washington DC Samples are due on 12 noon EST, Friday, June 30, 201720472

Is there any way of accessing previous water proposals and/or awards to use as reference models?

https://www.fpds.gov/fpdsng_cms/index.php/en/ and https://www.fbo.gov/?s=main&mode=list&tab=list

9.

Once the Emergency Site Zone is designated, is there a common drop point or does it vary based on the specific location of the emergency?

There will be a specific drop off location, however if there is change in location, diversion rate will apply accordingly

10.

Regarding Past Performance, this is our first proposal, so we have no specific history. Our supplier (subcontractor) supplied water during the Katrina disaster, but it was as a subcontractor for another prime.

Can we use that history on our proposal? Would he or the prime have been given a performance evaluation?

The Offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably if it lacks relevant past performance. See page 54 of the RFP

11.

We are planning on bidding on all 4 Option Years. If we do not win this current award, when is another bid opportunity scheduled to come up?

No date has been determined at this time for future RFP

12.

We are assuming that Attachment 2 is a mandatory part of this proposal. Is that correct?

Attachment 2 is the SOW for Bottled Water. All offerors are required to submit a proposal for bottled water

13.

."Training" is mentioned in several places. Can you tell us what training that refers to? See Attachment 2 paragraph V(c) for the details

14.

Assuming that we are bidding on just the items that are identified as Bottled Water or Extended Shelf Life Water, how do we select only the pertinent Unit #'s in the left column?

Offerors must propose for the Bottled Water. Extended Shelf life is optional

15. In the "Unit" columns, what does 'LT' stand for? Liter

16.

DC-Guam, Alaska/Hawaii, Caribbean/Puerto Rico: Does DC indicate a common drop point? We assume that we are responsible for shipping off continent? Is that correct? Yes: DC means FEMA’s distribution centers

17.

When we submit the Extended Shelf Life Water packaging samples, is it correct to assume that they are empty? Just the sample water not an empty packaging

18.

We are not sure about how to submit the Quality Control or the water source information. To be determined at Delivery Order level See RFP page 39

19.

3052.212.70 Is this applicable to us as a domestic small business?

We are confused about how to complete this section Applicable to large business only
