LMIS RFP Questions and Responses Version 2.xlsx

All Questions

The response, below, seems to indicate that the smallest material moving through the system is 7”x10” which changes the design of the Consolidated Freight Sorter (CFS) significantly. This information contradicts the MTBH table included as Figure 3.31-4. N/A N/A The 7x10 package should not change the spec of the CFS in the RFP document. Government response to question 72 applies. Referenced table in question will be updated in the revised EDC Technical Specifications posted to BETASAM to reflect a minimum package size of 7"x10"

72 What is the percentage of product under 9”x9”? product under 9”x6”? product under 6”x6”? Will DLA consider alternate means to handle products that are smaller than 6” x 6”? 3-381 Att. 5, 3.31.1.2 Yes. The DLA will consider alternate means to handle shipping containers smaller than 6" x 6" (length x width)

3.31.1.2 Identifies CFS (CCP) package sizes with a minimum length of 6" and a minimum width of 2". CFS packages will be processed through Centralized Packout Stations where a minimum shipping package size of 7" x 10" will be utilized to facilitate MIL STD 1348 label application. CFS package form factors include cartons, manufacturing inner-pack boxes, and Jiffy Pack type envelopes. Heavy items create nonevenly distributed loading and sagging in envelopes during transport. Package form factors are not suitable for typical roller conveyor transport. Transport in totes and trays are being eliminated to facilitate a steam-lined distribution system.

2 Is there a prevailing wage in effect for the decommission/install and electrical work needed for the Pool 2 RFP? N/A N/A There is not a prevailing wage in effect for the decommission/install and electrical work needed for the Pool 2 RFP. This is because the exact location for work to be performed is not known at this time and can potentially be performed globally. The applicable wage determination will be provided at the Delivery Order level when the location of work to be performed is known. The following clauses address wage requirements and are included in the Request For Proposal; 52.222-6 Construction Wage Rate Requirements and 52.222-41 Service Contract Labor Standards. For the sample Delivery Order please utilize the Attachment 38 - Davis Bacon Act Wage Determination, and Attachment 39 - Service Contract Act Wage Determination.

3 We would like to formally request an extension for the DLA LMIS RFP (Solicitation No.: SP3300-20-5002) due date. The reasoning behind this request is that we do not feel we would be able to submit a response to Pool 1 until the end of March as Questions and Answers were just released this week with Amendment 0004, and our full team was able to do a site visit today that closed a lot of our engineering and facility questions. We would greatly appreciate it if the Government would consider an extension to Tuesday, March 31, 2020. N/A N/A The Amendment 0005 posted to beta.SAM.gov on 11 February 2020 extends the due date and time for proposal submission to 2:00 pm eastern local time on 16 March 2020.

4 Below is a written list of the photos we needed: • Serial Number on Hytrol Conveyors – (Photo’s would be helpful) • Photo of installation practices – (overhead hangers, mounting attachment practices to building) • Photo of Tri-Wall Orienters • Photos of any support structures needed for scanning, printing, etc. • Photos of electrical installation. Examples of conduit or tray, motor disconnects, plug and play wiring, etc. N/A N/A Some of the photos requested were provided with Amendment 0004 posted to beta.SAM.gov on 21 January 2020 and Amendment 0005 posted to beta.SAM.gov on 11 February 2020. The Government will not be providing the Serial Number on Hytrol Conveyors. Rationale the Hytrol Conveyors are not specifically required per the SOW.

5 We request the existing panel drawings. Please provide those to us in AutoCAD format. N/A N/A The Government doesn't have the AutoCAD drawings to provide offerors. Photographs of the existing panels have been provided.

6 I’m looking for clarity regarding the type of parcels that will be moving through pieces NPS-004, NPS-005, NA3-007 and NA3-008. In the RFP, items are defined as parcels but want to be sure that parcels includes boxes and bags. N/A N/A Specifications are provided in the sample task order. Boxes and Jiffy Bags. No paper lunch bags.

7 we would appreciate clarification regarding Section 4.9 Offeror’s Compliance, in Attachment 33 (Amendment 0004 edition). Section 4.9 reads:

4.9 Offeror's Compliance

Offeror’s must indicate on a paragraph by paragraph basis whether or not they comply with the technical requirements of this specification. Enclosed in the specification is a prepared form entitled "Offeror's Statement of Compliance". The left hand margin of this form lists, in order, the numbers of all paragraphs in the specification, containing requirements which must be addressed by the Offeror. To the immediate right of each paragraph number, are two blocked spaces headed "Comply" and "Noncomply". The entry of "X" or a check mark is required in one of these two blocks. In the event an Offeror checked a noncomply block, an explanation of what is being offered as an equal or better alternative to the specification is required. Any additional prints, brochures, etc. submitted for clarification is recommended. Offeror’s are advised that the checking of the "Noncomply" block for any paragraph will result in rejection of the offer unless the explanation provided is deemed acceptable by the customer. Space provided for explanation on the form is limited. If additional space is required, a separate sheet may be used to continue the explanation. If such a continuation sheet is used, it must refer to the paragraph number being explained. In the lower right hand corner of each page is a signature block. Each page of the form must be signed by the Offeror or their designated representative.

However, there is no accompanying form with that title or description. Can the Government please clarify how they wish Offeror’s to proceed?

N/A N/A The AMHE Compliance Check List is being provided as Attachment 37 to this Request For Proposal SP3300-20-R-5002. Offerors are to complete the document as detailed in section 4.9

8 For our pool 1 technical / management response, with regards to the EDC Modernization PWS and associated drawings and layout, in order to properly plan the potential need to modify fire suppression / sprinklers, we need to understand the ‘as is’ rack elevations for the high bays for both bin and bulk storage. Can this be provided? 45 Factor 3 DB and DR original installation drawings were included in the RFP attachments. See directory: “Part 5 – Facility Req - Attachments\5.5.1c_Record Drawings\Material Handling Equipment\MHE Misc\MH-R00S Rack Bin Active Item Structural.” DB drawings are MH-ROOS-202.TIF through MH-ROOS-225.TIF. RFP does not request proposal for DR rack mods so the sprinklers shouldn’t be changed in DR area.

9 Should vendors price out the cost for the future replacement by a COTS software product (SAP WMS)? N/A N/A Vendors should not price out the replacement by a COTS software product.
