Forklift Rentals N32253-22-Q-0093 Questions and Answers as of 10/26/2022

Question Answer

1. Is this to replace the current forklifts that are there now?

The current contract is to replace the current forklift contract, N32253-22-P-0014.

2. What is the Period of Performance? The period of performance is 11/22/2022 through 11/21/2023. It’s stated on page 4 of the solicitation.

3. Can you provide the number of times tire repairs and tire replacements were required during the current contract in the past 12 months?

The maintenance/service performed this year:

1/3/2022: VT4031 – replaced battery 6/3/2022: VT4032 – oil seeping out of front/right tire hub 6/22/2022: routine maintenance inspection of all lifts 8/18/2022: VT4031 – took battery to shop to charge and replaced ignition 8/30/2022: VT4030 – nails in both rear tires 9/14/2022: VT4027 – repair lever to adjust steering wheel column and top-off brake fluid

4. In your response to the questions, you stated, Period of performance was for one year. But in the pricing sheet, you have us quoting for 48 months on. CLIN 0001 and 24 months on CLN0002. Can you please clarify?

The period of performance is a one year period, 11/22/2022 through 11/21/2023.

There are 2 CLINs. Both are for a 5,000lb – 6,000lb forklift rentals, but different specifications.

CLIN 0001 was for four (4) pneumatic tire type with diesel or propane fuel.

CLIN 0002 was for two (2) cushion or solid tire type with propane fuel.

5. In the solicitation, you listed hours of operation. Are you looking to rent the forklift only and Pearl Harbor staff will operate it? Or are you looking to rent the forklift with staff included to operate them? It is unclear given the title of the solicitation is Forklift rental.

We are looking to only rent the forklifts.

6. Is the form 1149 Schedule going to be updated to show the year requirement or should I just change the 48 and 24 mo requirements to 1 year on my own?

The solicitation is for a total of 6 each forklifts for the one year period of performance – 4 each forklift with pneumatic tire type with diesel or propane fuel and 2 each cushion or solid tire type with propane fuel. The reason why the quantity is at 48 months and 24 months, respectively was due to invoicing purposes. The current forklifts are being serviced and invoiced on a monthly basis. So there is no need to change the 48 months and 24 months to the one year duration.

7. For the environmental and OSHA requirements - 1) are there any specific documentation requirements to submit? 2) If documentation is required for OSHA and the environment requirements, is there any template or preferred format?

No documentation is required for the environmental and OSHAL requirements. If the forklifts leak or have a unexpected event that results in a spill (like hydraulic cylinder leaks and results in a fluid spill) will require documentation to be submitted for the spill. The equipment would need to be repaired or replaced per the contract expected turnaround time.

The documentation would be filled out by C530, we might request information to fill out the report like the SDS of the hydraulic fluid used in the forklift etc.
