A. Amendment 0004 is hereby issued to revise requirements and answer additional questions submitted by offerors. Offerors may return a signed Amendment 0004 via e-mail to Debby Abraham (debby.abraham@hq.dhs.gov)

B. SOW Section 14.2.2 is hereby deleted in its entirety replaced with the following:

Contractor shall immediately provide fully operational substitute/ secondary means of communications when primary equipment furnished by the Government is temporarily inoperable. When determining the means of communication to be utilized the contractor shall take into consideration the challenges posed by the parking garage.

C. EXHIBIT 8E- Contractor- Provided Communication Equipment is hereby deleted and replaced with the attached EXHIBIT 8E.

D. Please note that the answer to question I2 in amendment 0003 is hereby revised as follows:

Answer: Yes, contractor must provide a secondary/substitute means of communication.

E. The following question and answer are hereby provided for informational purposes only and does not amend or change the solicitation. If there is any conflict between the solicitation and this document, the solicitation controls:

41. Paragraph I10 regarding PSO travel time to/from posts – Neither of the internet sites referenced in the Government response provides locations for any of the posts identified in the Post Exhibit, any information regarding the proximity of one post to another, or even the location of the roll call area. There is no information with which to estimate the walk time between posts and the roll call area. Apparently this information is only available to the incumbent, providing them with a distinct advantage. In order to provide equal opportunity for all bidders, request the Government provide an average walk time all bidders can use in their price calculations. Upon award, the actual time can be measured and the price adjusted accordingly.

Answer: Currently, a number of the posts are located in the Coast Guard building and surrounding area (e.g. Visitor Center) as well as perimeter posts to secure that side of the complex where the Coast Guard HQ is located. The CSOC posts are also located within the Coast Guard building. Offerors have been provided links to information regarding the size of the contract site as well as a map. The Agency may order services up to the ceiling limits contained in the solicitation and the PSOs may be posted anywhere on the compound. Also, post locations identified in the post exhibit contained in the RFP may be relocated during the course of the contract. FPS understands that this places risk on the contractor in that walk times to posts may change or vary. FPS expects offerors to price this risk into their proposals. There will be no price adjustments after award related to increased/decreased walk times resulting from new/changed post locations.
