Questions Regarding RFQ-CTS-055-16 (CTS in Providence, Rhode Island)

Question 1: Are there any restrictions on number of pages? Specifications for font style and size? Other formatting (e.g., margins)? The List of Attachments (Section4) has a column for "Number of Pages" - this what we refer to in terms of "not to exceed?"

Response: There are no restrictions regarding the number of pages, font size, or margins for submitted quotations. The number of pages stated in the List of Attachment section refers to the number of pages that correspond with each attachment contained within the solicitation.

Question 2: Should we submit a separate budget page in addition to the cost of services pages in the

RFQ? If so, is there a format we should use?

Response: No. Please only submit pricing for the services requested on pages 4 through 11 of

Standard Form 1449 (SF-1449).

Question 3: There are more services discussed in the SOW (pg. 25) than are listed in the RFQ. To which should we refer in drafting our submission?

Response: Please draft your company’s quotation response based only on the services requested on pages 4 through 11 of Standard Form 1449 (SF-1449).

Question 4: On Standard Form 1449: re. block no. 12, what does "Discount Terms" refer to? In re. block

no. 17, do we need to fill in the "Code" and "Facility Code" boxes, or is this something you do at your end?

Response: Discount Terms refers to the percentage discount that a contractor gives to the

Government for prompt payment of monthly invoices. In addition, the Code and Facility Code boxes may be left blank as that information is generated from your company’s System of Award (SAM) profile upon award.

Question 5: Regarding the "Terms and Conditions" and List of Clauses (Section 5?), should these be included in the technical proposal as they appear in the RFQ? If so, do we need to write to each one, or can we initial or sign off as an acknowledgement of acceptance?

Response: The Terms and Conditions and the List of Clauses Section details to each potential quoter what specific contract provisions and clauses are applicable to this particular solicitation. By signing the Standard Form 1449 (SF-1449) you have acknowledge the terms and conditions of the solicitation.
