QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Questions and Answers

1. Question: Typically, when a rental is made, equipment, such as helmets, goes with it. However, helmets are not mentioned in the RFP. Will you need that, or do you guys already have those items?

The RFP also mentions block heaters and rear heated grips. While I understand they are listed, four-strokes with a block heater have to be added to the machines, and they don't have them on them typically. A four-stroke starting at - 60 is not an issue. I also am having a problem with the rear heated grips. I will clearly state all this in my submission unless these are critical failures on the RFP.

Answer: We can make do without the rear heated grips and the block heaters. They are preferred, as even the 4 strokes struggle in -60 from time to time, but we can do without. We have our own helmets, so they also won’t be needed.

2. Question: Alaska is a giant State and it is well publicized that the Marines work with the Air Force to transport the snowmobiles to remote and rural Alaska. Like any off-road vehicle, snowmobiles require constant maintenance and repairs.

Here is an excerpt from the Solicitation:

SNOWMOBILE RENTAL

1.0 General Information.

1.1 Scope. The US Government requires the rental of (8) snowmobile machines for a period of 18 days. The Contractor shall provide all management, supervision, personnel, equipment, materials, supplies, parts, maintenance and repair services required to furnish the machines for Government personnel usage for the time period and location specified. Fuel supply is not included in this contract; machines will be returned with the same fuel level as they were delivered to the Government.

1.2 Delivery Date. December 1, 2024

1.3 Period of Performance. December 1, 2024 to December 18, 2024 (18 days total)

1.4 Location. Anchorage, AK

If the snowmobile rentals require repairs, maintenance or replacement would that be performed in Anchorage?

With 8 engines and machinery for 18 days, there will be repairs and maintenance, is the contractor expected to provide these services in remote Alaska locations or imbed with the project?

Answer: The repairs, if needed, would be performed in Anchorage. If, for example, the machine would fail to start when we receive them, the vendor would be expected to repair the issue or provide a similar machine before we leave.

There should NOT be any repairs needed, if the machines have been properly maintained and a pre-season service has been done prior to execution. This will be our third year renting, and we have yet to have a four-stroke machine that has been properly maintained require any maintenance/repairs while executing.

M6786125Q0003

3. Question: Can you confirm if this is acceptable? We have the Expedition Sport Ace 900 available that does not have rear heated hand grips and they do not have block heaters. We were told no four stroke Snowmobile comes with a block heater and they will start at no problem at -60.

Answer: Yes, the rear heated grips and the block heaters are preferred, but not needed.
