Amendment 0003

Question # Contractor Submitted Question Government Answer

1. We cannot determine whether the space available as noted in the RFP is available for bidders to use for day to day operational services to the perform Preventative Maintenance Services as well as the estimated remedial repair requirements listed in the scope of services at approximately 3,650 labor hours for remedial repairs to include approximately $160K in reimbursable materials expenses as well as Monthly Battery Maintenance Services.

Furthermore the RFP states under 18.0 Government Furnished Property and Support Services that work space will be made available. However the RFP does not provide a layout of that space as well as provide any in place equipment and other utility lines to support in place maintenance functions as well as available equipment for Load tests as required in the RFP. It is critical for us to know what space is available as it is quite possible that current equipment may be used to meet these requirements as minimal cost to this effort. Furthermore it is not clear whether the area has sufficient power and other access points to provide power to the necessary tools and equipment (to include air compressor's, lifts for ) that may be needed to meet the contract specifications.

We respectfully request that the Government please reconsider their decision and offer a site visit so bidders can get a better understanding of the available government furnished property and support services as listed in Section 18.0 and the full capabilities of this space and offer the most cost efficient solution to your requirements.
