2) Provide questions and answers as submitted in response to the RFP.
Question 1 CONUS/OCONUS Delivery Requirements:
Per Page 41: D.21 F-FSS-200-B DELIVERY--F.O.B. DESTINATION (MAY 1991) Prices offered must cover delivery F.O.B. destination (FAR 52.247-34) to locations in the continental United States (CONUS). Yet in multiple locations in the solicitation reference is made to OCONUS delivery: Page 12, Page 17, Page 38, and Page 71. Request confirmation that these references are related to the options, (DDRH designates Hawaii, DDRG designates Guam, DDRA designates Alaska). If vendors chooses to indicate that these options are Not Available then would it be accurate to say that all items in this contract for are for CONUS delivery ONLY?
Answer Hawaii, Guam and Alaska are optional OCONUS delivery locations. If the vendor indicates that delivery to Hawaii, Guam and Alaska options are not available then the only available delivery for any awarded contract would be the continental United States (CONUS).
Question 2
INSPECTION AT SOURCE OR DESTINATION:
Page 37: D.16 552.246-71 SOURCE INSPECTION BY GOVERNMENT (JUNE 2009)
(a) Inspection by Government Personnel Supplies to be furnished under this contract will be inspected at source by the Government …….
| Page 40: D.20 | E-FSS-522 | INSPECTION AT DESTINATION (MAR 1996) |
| (a) | Inspection by the Government. It is anticipated that the supplies purchased under this contract will be inspected at destination by the Government |
Please clarify whether inspection is going to be at Source as presented in TAB H under Volume 1 or if inspection could be required at Destination?
Inspection will be required at both the source and the destination. Inspection at the source would be to determine that the products compliance to Federal Standards and the specifications of the order. While Inspection at the destination would be to ensure no damage was caused to the product during shipping.
Question 3 The Solicitation Number for Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks is QMAE-BD-140001-D. The Solicitation Number for Wreckers and Carriers is QMAE-BD-140002-D. Yet the items numbers for the Wreckers and Carriers are included in the item listing on page 33, D.8 Time of Shipment for this solicitation on Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks. Are the Wreckers and Carriers a part of this solicitation response or will there be a separate solicitation?
Answer This solicitation is for Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks only. Wreckers and Carriers requirements are being solicited under a separate Request for Proposal (QMAE-BD-140002-D).
The RFP is amended to remove the Wreckers and Carriers items from Section D.8.
Question 4 Under Volume 1 on page 67, there is a TAB I – P.L. 94-163. Please clarify what should be submitted here. Vendor looked up Public Law 94-163 Energy Policy and Conservation Act but does not know what GSA requires for this submission at TAB I. Page 69 in the solicitation describes TAB H but there is no I, it just goes into the second volume.
No information is required under Tab I. The RFP is amended to remove Tab I from Volume I submission requirements.
Question 5 The solicitation states, “AutoBid will close Friday, September 26, 2014, at 3:00pm Eastern”, however, the proposal checklist states, “AutoBid Pricing Completed and submitted by 3:00pm September 24, 2014”. Please confirm when pricing must be completed and submitted in AutoBid.
The submission due date in AutoBid has been amended. AutoBid will close Friday, October 6, 2014, at 3:00pm Eastern. The RFP is amended to reflect this change.
Question 6 The proposal checklist includes the following in Volume 1, “TAB I – Public Law 94-163 Data”, but the Solicitation “SUBMISSION CONTENT AND FORMAT OF PROPOSALS” section does not. Is Public Law 94-163 Data required?
No information is required under Tab I. The RFP is amended to remove Tab I from Volume I submission requirements.
Question 7 After viewing several of the Federal Standards I have noticed much of my information that I spent weeks inputting into Auto Vendor is incorrect or not there. I was explained because other Ford dealers (about 3 other dealers) were also bidding and do to the GSA system unable to merge all the information, GSA was only able to use one dealers information (not sure who’s it is). This is going to be a big problem with Ford not meeting or complying with the Federal Standards.
To give you an example on the attached Item 471, page 2 under components for “Rear Axle” GSA Min Std is “11,500 to 13,900 lbs.” and Ford is supplying “17,500 lbs.”….That means Ford is not complying with GSA Federal Standards. Another example is page 1 under “Gross Vehicle Weight Rating” GSA Min Std is 19,501 to max 21,999 lbs.” and Ford is supplying you with “20,940 lbs.”…It’s incorrect it should be “20,780 lbs.”. Again these are just a couple of examples. There are many more.
I can bid the Ford truck to meet the Federal Standards but it’s not going to match what is in the Federal Standards. This then could lead to other problems. One is my pricing vs. other Ford dealers. I’m pricing the unit to meet spec’s (I could lose the bid for not being low on price) and if by chance I was awarded the item it would not meet the Federal Standard as they are written today
Answer The Government has determined that the Federal Minimum Standards as reflected in amendment 001, Attachment G2 - Ford Schedule of Items, represent the Government’s requirement. It is incumbent upon each offeror to propose a vehicle that meets or exceeds the Government’s stated requirements. Vendors should utilize the Technical Exceptions Worksheet (Attachment E to the solicitation) to note any exceptions to the Government’s stated requirement.
3) Remove Wreckers and Carriers item numbers from Section D.8.
