Q&A

Questions and Answers from presolicitation number M62613-21-Q- 0025 are provided below.

[Q.1] Ref.SOW Section 1-a-i & ii

Which manufacturer is the original of the existing shelves?

A: I found a small label on the bottom of the white shelves in the back room (see attached).

[Q.2] Ref.SOW Section 1-d-i

The SOW says “Contractor must submit a copy of the product data sheet(s) of shelves for review to the Contracting Officer”. What exactly do you need?

We will submit a strength statement for new mesh shelves and detailed drawings for replacement shelves, what else do you need?

A: The strength statement (load capacity) for the new mesh shelves, drawings (include all details, cut sheets), and possible calculations that prove how much weigh it can handle.

[Q.3] Ref.SOW Section 1-h-i-9 & Section 1-h-ii-9

The stanchion structure of the existing storage shelving's body units are designed for flat shelves, not for mesh shelves, but only the load capacity per shelf is described in SOW, and the strength of the stanchions are not mentioned.

Do I need to submit a calculation sheet to see if the stanchions are strong enough to withstand the load, even under maximum load on all shelves? Also, if the strength is insufficient, should we remodel the main body as well?

A: To protect both parties it would be best if they submit a calculation sheet that shows the upright new load capacity. The current statement of work is for the shelves to hold equal to or greater than the current max load. Therefore, the contractor will need to prove to us how much weight can put on those shelves and also re-label them to state the new max load on the shelves. We are willing to compromise if the new load is shy of the existing so that they don’t have to replace them. But we all need to agree with the amount.

And there is Couple of issues from one vendor as follows, Wire mesh waterfall type decking is a safety decking. It is rated at either 2200lbs per level or 2700lbs per level in the HD form. It is used primarily for pallet racking applications where the only use if for safety. Example. If someone miss places a pallet and missed the back beam. The waterfall decking would catch the load and prevent it from falling to the lower area. It is in no way used to "support" a constant load.

Yes it also meets fire codes because water can fall through levels in a situation where the fire sprinklers go off.

Your exsisting bulk racking has beams. Think of it as mini pallet rack. Those beams are what establishes the capacity of each shelving level, not the solid insert decking you have in now, nor the wire mesh decking panels you are requesting.

Therefore your statement of having a decking panel that establishes the loading is not accurate in the solicitation.

Wire decking usually comes in a hot dipped galvanized finish. Having it color matched is very expensive and really not the here in the US because it is primary used in a very competitive type commoditization market with pallet racking where price is kept very low.

So with that said what I am going to try and accomplish is get you what you want, but be advised that these wire decking panels will have to be custom in size and also painted finish.

The below is answer for the above (Couple of Issues) There is no painting requirement for the wire decking, so if the contractor wants to used hot dipped galvanized steel unless you or the KO wants it to be painted.

Per the SOW Section 1.h.i, New wire mesh shelving for type 47d storage shelving units shall:

Per the SOW Section 1.h.i.2, Be made of corrosion resistant steel such as stainless steel, powder coated, or galvanized steel. Powder coated steel wire decking shall be uniform in color for all type 47d shelves.

Per the SOW Section 1.h.ii, New wire mesh shelving for type 47e storage shelving units shall:

Per the SOW Section 1.h.ii.2, Be made of corrosion resistant steel such as stainless steel, powder coated, or galvanized steel. Powder coated steel wire decking shall be uniform in color for all type 47e shelves.

The only painting requirement is for support beams in Type 47e racks and even then it can be can be changed as long as it’s agreed by either you or the KO that either galvanized or stainless steel supports can be used.

Per SOW Section 1.h.ii.7.a, Support structure(s) shall be powder coated to match the current white color of the shelving unit frame as shown in Enclosure #2 unless otherwise approved by Contracting Officer or his/her duly authorized representative(s)

I don’t believe there is a specific requirement anywhere for wire mesh per se, just that there are evenly distributed openings that exceed 50% of the surface area.

I don’t see any necessity to have the decking painted or otherwise “color coordinated” and galvanized or stainless is probably best in my opinion. Any supports can also be galvanized or stainless or painted appropriately.

I don’t agree with Marvin’s assessment that these shelves are “mini pallet racks” and that the load is supported by the cross beams, not the decking. Unlike pallet racks which are designed for standard sized pallets that always straddle cross beams for support, these shelves are meant to accommodate a wide variety of different sized boxes that would seldom (if ever) be supported by two beams. The shelf has to support the weight of the boxes with the load transferred to the pillars via the cross beams.

Q: What’s the smallest size box that would ever be stored on the shelves? I think this needs to be defined before we get wire meshes that are super spaced out.

A: The narrowest dimension (width and/or depth) would probably be about 20 cm. If we had anything smaller it would be put into a larger box or tray.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (AUG 2020)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision;

and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager;

head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: The Government will award a contract resulting from this request for quote to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is determined to be Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer with acceptable past performance and the performance schedule. The government intends to evaluate multiple award opportunities with the possibility of awarding a single contract or to award multiple contracts under this solicitation.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are . (Contracting Officer state, in accordance with FAR 15.304, the relative importance of all other evaluation factors, when combined, when compared to price.)

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
