SUMMARY OF CHANGES
SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE
The following have been added by full text:
AMENDMENT 0005
This amendment includes the following changes:
Replace Section C ANNEXES with Section C ANNEXES rev 1 Replace Section F ANNEXES with Section F ANNEXES rev 1 Replace J-0200000-11 ELINs Clean.rev 1 with J-0200000-11 ELINs Clean rev 2 Revise Section B.22 of the solicitation PPI Responses.
The below includes responses to submitted PPI’s.
PPI Q&A
Q.1 1502000, para. 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, Spec item 2.3.4 states that the manager should be an employee of the prime contractor and spec item 2.3.3 states that the contractor can provide either in-house or contracted staff with necessary qualifications. Is the manager in 2.3.3 the same individual as the project manager listed in 2.7.1.1 or can the "manager" in 2.3.4 be a separate and contracted key personnel (e.g., operations manager)?
A.1 Please reference updated Section C ANNEXES. Rev 1, as the specs were incorrect.
Q.2 Under previous contracts, the ELIN spreadsheet included a column for number of units. With this column included, the Navy was able to see the monthly cost of one system (unit). This allowed each activity the flexibility of adding/removing equipment units at option period renewals knowing what the exact cost per unit per month would be. Please advise whether the ELIN spreadsheet will be modified to include this number of unit column.
B11.c states that the unit price will be the basis for any deductions, however, without the unit price for each individual system, there is no unit price for each system upon which to base any deductions.
A.2 The ELIN spreadsheet will remain as is. The Government understand how to extract the unit price per equipment from the unit price per month.
Q.3 The G5:G6 originally asked question was in regards to system outages for construction projects and modifications to fire protection equipment being performed by separately contracted companies outside of this forthcoming contract. However, the Navy referred us to Spec Item 2.6.7 which addresses Service Interruptions for work the contractor would have to complete for maintenance/repairs under this forthcoming contract. Please advise if the contractor will be required to perform system outages for other contractors for separately contracted construction work. If so, where should we include the per outage cost for this service.
A.3 It is the Government’s position that any services performed on the fire protection system would be part of the PM or repair performed by the contractor or their subcontractor. As such, there should not be any outage cost for services rendered by the contractor unless the in the event such as an Act of God or proof on vandalism.
Q.4 The ELINs spreadsheet under Naval Station Norfolk HFC 227 systems show (10 EA), however, the J-1502000- 03 Inventory shows 11 units. Please advise whether 10 or 11 units should be calculated on the ELINs spreadsheet.
A.4 ELINs Updated
Q.5 Per 1501000 Fac Management Section F Deliveries: the contractor is required to provide updated ICAP information to the Navy annually. Can the Navy provide example templates or the report format for what the contractor will be required to fill out/complete as part of this contract requirement?
A.5 The Government does not have a specific format for ICAP submittal. However, the contractor shall provide the rating condition per inventory equipment utilizing the Direct Conditioning Rating Guidance per J-1501000-03.
Q.6 The attachment shows rating guidance for panelboards and meters, however, these components are not part of this maintenance contract. Please advise whether the contractor is required to utilize these documents for any reason under this contract.
A.6 The Direct Conditioning Rating Guidance applicable to for Fire Protection shall be used in conjunction with the equipment inventory as applicable.
Q.7 Amendment 0001 B.22 lists CLINS and ELINS. CLINS 0003 and 0005 indicate ELINS B001 through B032 and C001 through C032; These ELINS do not exist on the pricing spreadsheet. Should B.22 read ELINS B001-B009 and C001-C009? Please confirm/ revise accordingly.
A.7 see amendment 0005
Q.8 Per 1501000 Fac Management Section F Deliveries: the contractor is required to provide updated ICAP information/report to the Navy annually. Yet the CLINs/ELINS pricing spreadsheet lists this cost item being spread out over 12 months each year and billed in monthly increments. This is a one-time deliverable each year, so shouldn't the Quantity/Unit of Measure be "ONE EACH"?
A.8 They shall invoice 1/12 the annual cost to perform ICAP services.

B.23 DBIDS INFORMATION:
Access to Installation: All Contractor personnel shall obtain access to the installation through enrollment and registration into the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS).
The Contractor shall provide the KO with the name of their designated Service Contractor Administrator (SCA) for enrollment in DBIDS. Once enrolled, the Contractor must provide the DBIDS Registrar with an approved employee list and then direct their employees to register into DBIDS.
DBIDS Program: DBIDS is an enterprise identity management and perimeter installation access control solution in which Contractor personnel who enroll, and are approved, are subsequently granted access to the installation for a period up to three years, or the length of the contract, whichever is less, and are not required to obtain a new pass from the Base Pass and Identification Office for each visit. There are no fees associated with obtaining a DBIDS credential.
The Government performs background screening and credentialing. Throughout the year the Contractor employee must continue to meet background screening standards. Periodic background screenings are conducted to verify continued DBIDS participation and installation access privileges. DBIDS access privileges will be immediately suspended or revoked if at any time a Contractor employee becomes ineligible.
DBIDS Credentials: Contractor employees shall furnish a completed copy of the SECNAV 5512/1 form to obtain the required background check and visit the local Navy Installation Visitor Control Center to obtain a DBIDS credential once approved. The SECNAV 5512/1 form and additional information about DBIDS can be found at:
https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html .
The Contractor may initiate the adjudication process when a background screen failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS and the Contractor employees do not agree with the reason for disqualification. The Contractor may also apply for a waiver when a background screening failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS. The Commanding Officer will be the final waiver determination authority.
The Contractor shall immediately collect employee DBIDS credentials and notify the KO in writing:
(1) That an employee has departed the company without having properly returned or surrendered their DBIDS credentials.
(2) That there is a reasonable basis to conclude that an employee, or former employee, might pose a risk, compromise, or threat to the safety or security of the installation or anyone therein.
DBIDS Paper Passes: In the event that a visitor, vendor, or Contractor employee elects not to participate in DBIDS, the individual will be issued DBIDS paper pass from the Base Pass and Identification Office in order to access to the installation. The time standard for the validity of a pass to access an installation will be not more than thirty (30) days and may be further restricted based on local policy or by Federal, DOD, Navy, and CNIC guidance.
The Government will not be responsible for any cost or lost time associated with obtaining paper passes or added vetting or inspections incurred by non-participants in the DBIDS credentialing process.
