ATTACHMENT 12 - SITE VISIT

a. If the Vendor has not visited the site, it is strongly urged to do so. However, visitation is neither required nor a prerequisite for quote submission, and will not be considered a factor in the evaluation. However, it is considered impracticable to determine, without inspection, the exact nature of the work and the condition of the site under which the work is to be performed. The site visit will provide Vendors the opportunity to inspect the government furnished property; equipment, facility, and site which services are to be performed; and the general and local conditions that may affect the costs and performance of the prospective order, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable.

b. In no event will failure of the Vendor to inspect the Government-furnished property, equipment, facility, and site which services are to be performed; and the general and local conditions of the site relieve the Vendor from assuming all responsibility for properly estimating the price, difficulties, and the conditions, including safety precautions, that may be encountered during performance, nor will failure to inspect the building and site constitute grounds for a claim after order issuance.

c. Questions will not be answered at any time during the site visit. Vendors must submit their questions in writing to Kevin Schumacher, at kevin.schumacher@nara.gov, no later than 4:00 PM CT on July 13, 2016. Subsequent to the site visit, if required, an amendment containing an abstract of the questions and answers will be issued.

d. Vendors are cautioned that, notwithstanding any remarks or clarifications given at the site visit, all terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged unless they are changed by a solicitation amendment. If the answers to site visit questions or any solicitation amendment create ambiguities, it is the responsibility of the Vendor to seek clarification prior to submitting a quotation.

e. In order to access the facility, Vendors should be prepared to show a Government-issued photo identification card, and if driving, proof of automobile insurance and registration.
