The paragraph states that "all facilities, systems and assets identified in this contract shall be accepted by the contractor in “AS-IS” condition. The contractor is fully responsible for all work up to and including the limits of liabilities specified”. How can any offeror other than the incumbent prepare an equitable proposal without know what the condition of systems are? Non-recurring work has a limit of liability of $2500 in direct material cost. Not knowing the status of systems puts offerors at a decided disadvantage while at the same time potentially allows the incumbent the ability to withhold repairs in order to save money. Respectfully request that repairs determined during a change on contractor allows for the incoming contractor to bill for work performed.

This is a firm-fixed-price contract and offerors should propose based on the specifications and relevant supporting attachements in the solicitation. Service order detail in attachment J-1502000-03-01 provides historical examples of types and durations of previous work; however, it may not be indicative of future work which is unknown at this time. The stated requirement does not change the Service Order LOL. The Contractor must use the information provided to perform their own risk assessment.
