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.

We respectfully request a 30-day extension to the proposal due date to permit all Contractors to enhance our solutions from a very well designed Gulfport Site Visit. This extension will give the USG more time to research and respond to industry questions and allow Contractors to integrate your responses into our proposals. Considering that we are all basically working remote due to the pandemic, it has been also a challenge getting the proposal team and teammates all in concert. The extension will also allow both the USG and all Contractors to have some precious time with families over the upcoming Holidays.
