SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1). The Amendment states: "2.2.3 Bottled Compressed Nitrogen, 6000 psi. Bottle size 488 cubic ft. Vendor shall deliver increments up to 2 bottles per delivery once per week or as requested by ordering point of contact (POC).

NOT TO EXCEED 6 bottles per 12-month period."

QUESTION (1.1) The quantity listed is "10". Can you please confirm if this is a monthly or annual quantity? Confused on the frequency and total required weekly, monthly, annually?

The Amendment states: "8.1.5 Tank Level and Auto-order functionality. Contractor installation and monitoring of tank level sensing and automatic delivery system. System will be government owned once installed."

QUESTION (1.2) Is telemetry, remote monitoring of the bulk LN2, a requirement of the contract or an option? Typically, the telemetry unit is specific to the vendor supplying the LN2 and is a monthly rental. It would be vendor owned.

ANSWERS for 1 (both 1.1 and 1.2):

The Quantity listed of "10" is a Not-to-Exceed annual quantity.

Telemetry and remote monitoring of bulk LN2 is an option. Any items or equipment that require the permanent modification of existing government owned equipment of which the removal would cause the government owned equipment to deviate from the pre-installation state and quality would need to be installed as government owned equipment. Any items that can be affixed to the government owned equipment, i.e. the LN2 tank, without incurring permanent modification/damage to the government owned equipment upon its' removal may remain vendor owned and be a monthly rental.

2). QUESTION: Would multiple awards be possible; e.g., one for the Bulk LN2 and the other for the Bottle

Compressed Nitrogen as described in section 2.1 of the solicitation?

ANSWER: Per HQ M-2-0001, all units of all items will be awarded to “One Offeror”. This requirement cannot be split.

3). QUESTION: If the answer to our question #1 is no, then if awarded, could be subcontract out the

Bottle portion?

ANSWER: Yes, subcontracting is acceptable.

4). QUESTION: Our company invoices in 1000 FTS, which translates to 1000 Standard Cubic Feet. Therefore, although our bid price per gallon would be X, the price on our invoices would both be in 1000 FTS. Would this be accepted in WAWF if we provide a conversation table on our invoice?

N0025319Q0003

ANSWER: Due to the fact that the quantity of bulk LN2 is listed in gallons in the contract, both the bid price and invoices from the vendor that this contract is awarded to would need to be in those same unit of issue and that is gallons. Also because of system constraints, we want to be consistent with using the same unit of issue.
