Pricing for each CLIN must be submitted in the proper format. The proper format consists of QUANTITY * UNIT PRICE = AMOUNT/NET AMOUNT. In the event there is a discrepancy in the calculation, the UNIT PRICE will be held to the intended price multiplied by the QUANTITY. If the offeror shows only the AMOUNT/NET AMOUNT, but fails to enter a UNIT PRICE, the AMOUNT/NET AMOUNT divided by the QUANTITY will be held to be the intended price. Failure to provide a Unit Price, Amount/Net Amount for each CLIN listed in the solicitation may result in the offeror being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for award”.
7. Question: For AIR TRAFFIC TOWER CLINs 0009 - 0010 the description is to plow at 3-6". For FLIGHT FACILITY -Groundside CLINs 0001 - 0002 the description is to plow at 2-6". Is the air traffic tower 3" correct or should they read 2-6"?
Answer: The CLIN descriptions in the Combined Synopsis Solicitation R1 are correct.

8. Question: My overview of the air base showed the ramp/tarmac to be 847,645SF.
However, the site map shows it as 1,286,298 SF. Assuming one is in error.
Please clarify which is to be used as official. It makes a huge difference in how much ramp side deicer is required. This effects the cost for CLINs 0022 & 0023.
Answer: 876,071 SF.
The Tarmac total SF is 876,071 SF and encompasses Taxiway M, the ramp itself and behind both hangers 292 and 288. Note that the 1,286,298 SF is the total SF for the JASF complete and includes all areas such as roads and parking.
