Key scope elements include transporting approximately 950 Government-packed boxes to be collected from and delivered to individual workspaces, moving six five-drawer security safes (up to 700 lbs each) with contents intact from Building 1's ground floor to Building 894's second floor, and relocating affected workspaces located on the 1st and 2nd floors of Building 1 and the 2nd floor of Building 894. The move must be executed as a single, continuous operation within five consecutive weekdays with no specific phasing required. The approximate distance between buildings is 829 feet door-to-door; neither building has a loading dock, requiring grade-level loading. Elevator specifications are provided: Building 1 has a 3500-pound capacity elevator (75"x62"x87" interior) and Building 894 has a 2000-pound or 13-person capacity elevator (61"x46"x90" interior); neither is freight-rated, but the Building 894 elevator can be dedicated to contractor use except for ADA personnel needs. Labor rates are specified at $23.50 per hour plus 38.3% fringe for Material Handling Laborers, with offerors permitted to submit SCA exemption certifications for Government consideration. Contractor means and methods are not prescribed by the Government. Personal Protective Equipment must comply with 29 CFR 1910, 29 CFR 1926, and applicable state and local requirements as determined by the contractor. Subcontractor past performance will be reviewed through SPRS, with no separate submission required from offerors.

QuesƟon 1 - Past performance of proposed subcontractor
Past performance is evaluated equally with price (subfactors: quality and delivery). Will the
Government consider the relevant past performance of an offeror's proposed subcontractor that will perform the moving services? If so, what format should offerors use to submit subcontractor past performance references (e.g., contract number, customer POC, value, period of performance, descripƟon)?

QuesƟon 2 - Elevator capacity for safes
The SOW lists six five-drawer security safes at up to 700 lbs each. Please provide the rated weight capacity of the personnel elevators in Building 1 and Building 894, and confirm whether the safes are on the ground floor or upper floors at origin and desƟnaƟon.
Answer:
Building 1 Elevator: Weight capacity is 3500 lbs
Building 894 Elevator: Weight capacity is 2000 lbs or 13 persons
Safes origin is on the ground floor of Building 1 and required desƟnaƟon is 2nd floor of Building

QuesƟon 3 - Safe contents
Will the five-drawer safes be empƟed by Government personnel prior to the move, or will they be transported with contents secured inside?
Answer: Contents of safes will not be empƟed prior to move. Safes will be transported with contents secured inside.
QuesƟon 4 – Equipment

Answer: Means and methods will not be provided by government.
QuesƟon 5 – Workspace
Which floors of Buildings 1 and 894 contain the 180 affected workspaces? Are the elevators freight-rated, and what are their interior dimensions and weight capaciƟes?
Answer:
Building 1: 1st and 2nd floor affected workspaces.
Building 894: 2nd floor affected workspaces.
Elevators are not freight-rated.

QuesƟon 8 – Labor Rates
The solicitaƟon lists an equivalent Material Handling Laborer rate of $23.50 per hour plus 38.3% fringe and also includes an SCA exempƟon cerƟficaƟon. Please confirm whether the exempƟon is intended to apply to this moving requirement or whether offerors should price labor at the stated wage and fringe levels.
Answer: The exempƟon is for offerors to fill out if they believe the requirement should be exempt from the SCA. The presence of the exempƟon provision does not guarantee the SCA will be waived.
QuesƟon 9 – PPE
Clause C-223-W002, pages 7–8: What specific PPE must the moving crews wear during performance?
Answer: Specific PPE should be determined by the company and must at minimum adhere to the requirements of 29 CFR 1910, 29 CFR 1926 and applicable state and local requirements.
