QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
English Version
RFQ Number: 14971495
Question 1 Is the desired warranty the factory warranty, managed directly by the user or their contracting office with the manufacturer? Or, alternatively, should we, as the supplier, intervene in the warranty process?
Answered 1 The warranty will be managed by the end user, an Ecuadorian government entity. For any warranty request, the main point of contact for coordination with the manufacturer shall be the awarded contractor.
Question 2 The delivery timeline for the high-performance machines, considering these units will require custom configurations, there is a possibility of delays during the build process due to the need for specific components. In the event of such a delay, would it be preferable to request a modification (MOD) to the contract to accommodate the adjusted timeline, or would it be possible to request a grace period to address the delay prior to pursuing a MOD?
Answer 2 One of the evaluation criteria will be that the awarded supplier complies with the requirements specified in Item 2: Deliverables, "Estimated delivery 30 calendar days after the purchase order is awarded.".
