Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

CONTRACTOR QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Question:

Could you kindly clarify the description and the quantity of:

2001 Option - X-ray Maintenance & Support:

a. Is the quantity definition in years? I/E each Clin is asking for a price for an additional year of

Service?

Answer: Yes, a subscription to be provided for a year or completed within that period of performance.

2002 Option - X-ray Screener Training

a. Is this for an optional day’s worth of training

b. If so, when would be the anticipated time of training

i. Same as install or later date with separate travel

Answer: Yes – within that period of performance. Will add that the using organization will provide the training date request at least 30 days prior to the requested date.

2003 Option - X-ray Screener Support Subscription

a. Please define what a Support Subscription consists of?

i. Phone support for technical issues?

ii. Phone support for training issues?

b. Is the subscription quantity of 1 for a year? Or month?

Answer: This requirement is outlined in the salient characteristics – it is for expert technician (bomb experts) support for interpretation of images.

Question:

Please clarify anticipated delivery date. X-Ray manufacturers have a standard 12-14 week wait on new unit orders.

Shipping and installation may require an additional 2-3 weeks to Hawaii. Will these factors be taken into consideration for the POP Start Date and subsequent option periods?

Answer:

Yes the dates will be revised based on the quoted delivery of the equipment and final acceptance of the installation.

Question:

Please specify maintenance timeline requirements. In the event of a breakdown, parts may need to be ordered from the OEM and delivered to Hawaii, and a technician will be required to travel to the place of performance to install.

Our typical Priority-On Site Maintenance service provides a response within 24 hours, however resolution times may vary depending on part availability. Will shipping and travel time be allotted for under this contract?

Answer:

The timeline will be revised to state a normal repair time of 2-7 business days unless coordinated with the using organization and Contracting Officer.

Question:

Travel costs for instructors was not outlined in the request for quote by line item. Will submitting a firm fixed price for training that includes travel be acceptable, or will travel costs be captured under another mechanism?

Answer:

Training is conducted 1x per year and therefore it is reasonable for a company to estimate the costs for a FFP CLIN. This CLIN will remain a FFP CLIN, however, I will add that the using organization will provide the training date request at least 30 days prior to the requested date.

NOTE: Any required changes as mentioned above and extended descriptions will be corrected in Amendment 0001.

2. Price

Price: The offeror’s price submission to include options will be evaluated.
