AMENDMENT 0004

SP3300-20-R-5007

Amendment 0004 is hereby incorporated into solicitation SP3300-20-R-5007.

Amendment 0004 is issued to:

I. Extend the date for the submission of proposals from 18 June 2020 to 25 June 2020.

On 23 June 2020, the contract specialist will initiate the process to have https://safe.apps.mil send out an automated email containing the web link necessary for the upload of offeror proposals.

II. Incorporate a revised Attachment 3 – Schedule of Supplies.

III. Incorporate Amendment 0004 – Drawings Zip File.

IV. Provide answers to contractor questions.

1. Question: There is uncertainty regarding the collection of potentially applicable taxes or duty fees by Korea. These added fees may be applied to in-bound shipments from private US manufacturers destined for a US Military site in Korea. It would be helpful if the Government make a determination regarding duty or any taxes or fees. We are not able to learn a clear answer on this subject from OCONUS freight forwarders and agents. These amounts could be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

1. Answer: The Government has established a separate CLIN for applicable taxes or duty fees assessed by Korea in a not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of $180,000. This is a Government provided amount. Vendors may not change this amount in their price proposal. Any taxes or duty fees assessed will require the vendor to provide payment receipts with their invoice for verification. Vendor will be reimbursed the actual costs based on the receipts. If these costs exceed the NTE amount on this CLIN, it is the vendor’s responsibility to notify the Government as soon as they are aware and an increase to the CLIN will be made.

2. Question: The payments clause currently cited in the solicitation requires all invoices to be based upon delivered materials. Since this project is in Korea, many of our suppliers are unwilling to extend credit beyond the traditional 30 days since delivery to Korea after production can require 75-90 additional days plus time unloading and inspecting at destination. Parallel to this, manufacturers are requiring down payments with our purchase orders. These amounts after often 50% upon order entry due to the custom nature of this equipment. Often 100% payment is required prior to OCONUS shipment. On a project of this size, financing of this equipment will be significant. There are other advance payments options that can allow the contractor to invoice for equipment at the time of order entry. Payments can also be issued for “Ship In Place” contract financing. We https://safe.apps.mil/ raise this issue prior to the opening date to ensure timeliness. We encourage the Government to consider alternate payment methods it may offer in the contract payments provisions other than a traditional invoice submittal after delivery.

2. Answer: The Government has considered this request, and determined that payment will only be made once the Government takes acceptance of the material. However, a revision to the Partial Payment language in the solicitation is stated below:

Partial Payments:

a. Partial Payments IAW Far 32.102(d) are authorized under this requirement as specified below:

Payment 1: Actual cost of materials delivered and accepted by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) to be validated with supplier invoices. Payment 1 may be multiple payments. The Government understands that there will be multiple shipments of materials and agree that vendor may invoice as each shipment is delivered and accepted by the COR.

Payment 2: Installation of material and verification by the COR that the system is functional. The total value of the partial payments shall not exceed 70 percent of the total dollar of the purchase order.

b. All material and work covered by the partial payments shall, at the time of payment, become the sole property of the Government, but this shall not be construed as: (1) Relieving the contractor from the sole responsibility for all material and work upon which payments have been made for the restoration of any damaged work; or (2) Waiving the right to the Government to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the contract.

c. Final payment of the contract shall be made upon final acceptance of all deliverables by the Government and completion of final operational test.

The final payment shall be the total price less Payments 1 and 2.

3. Question: Could you please provide a drawing with building columns so we can make sure there are no obstructions or interferences with the equipment?

3. Answer: See drawing and png zip file (Amendment 0004 – Drawings).

4. Question: Could you please provide the Floor to floor dimension so we can determine the vertical travel required for the vertical lifts and the height of the spirals?

4. Answer: From the floor slab on the first floor to the underside of the floor slab on the second floor : 9900mm(FB: 900mm)

- From the floor slab on the first floor to the top of the floor slab on the second floor: 10200mm

- Floor thickness: 300mm

5. Question: Should the conveyor fed by the sorter diverts be zero pressure live roller accumulation?

5. Answer: The Government’s statement of work provides the overall system requirement’s specifications. Offeror shall engineer and design what will become a fully functional system. The offeror’s technical proposal should provide a complete narrative with supporting technical data to include catalog cuts, drawings, and other technical information to illustrate how the offeror understands the requirement and intends to provide a fully functioning system.

6. Question: What is the dock height where ALOC pallets are being unloaded?

6. Answer: Dock is nominal 1219.2mm high.
