QUESTIONS & RESPONSES

W15QKN‐21‐Q‐5154 – Backflow Inspection Multi PA Locations (PA050/051/052/053)

1. How many backflows are there all together? The continuation sheet shows 135 backflows but number 7 on the PWS shows there are 27 backflows. I just wanted to double check the amount of backflows needing inspection/testing to make sure we quote it correctly.

Response: The quantity of 27 as set forth in paragraph 7 of the PWS entitled “Attachment/Technical Exhibit…” matches the quantities as set forth in the Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS) on the continuation sheet for each year of period of performance of the requirement. The requirement is for a base year and four option years as identified in the solicitation and under the CLINS which have been clearly labeled. The quantity of 135 on the continuation sheet encompasses all the CLINS inclusive of the base year as well as the 4 option periods. As far as making sure you quote it correctly please refer to Paragraph 8 of the instructions to offerors section entitled “Completing a Quote for Submittal.”

2. Should the quote be for inspections and testing only then repairs later if needed?

Response: Please refer to Paragraph 5 of the Performance Work Statement entitled “Specific Tasks.” The word “repairs” have been removed from each CLIN as identified under Amendment 0001 to Solicitation W15QKN‐21‐Q‐5154.

3. Do you want quotes on the continuation sheet only or do you also want a total on the solicitation?

Response: Please refer to Solicitation W15QKN‐21‐Q‐5154 under Paragraph 8 of the instructions to offerors section entitled “Completing a Quote for Submittal.”

4. What are the backflow manufactures? (Watts, Ames, conbraco...)

Response: There are numerous manufactures in each facility. The Government offered site visit dates and encouraged offerors to take the site visit, as stated in Paragraph 6 of the instructions to offerors section of Solicitation W15QKN‐21‐5154.
