SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Question and Answer, W911N2-18-Q-0020 – Fire Extinguisher Maintenance Q1. Will the Government provide a list of all make and model of fire extinguishers for this solicitation?

A1. Amerex B456, 456, 411, 260, Buckeye 10HI, Kidde Pro 10, PRO20TCM-5, General 15RH, WS900 Badger 10-MB-8H, Ansul FE13, MX30D, FE36

Q2. Will the vendor only be required to provide testing and recharge for extinguishers and parts for extinguishers are acost plus to the government? Not all extinguishers will require the same parts during the time period of this contract.

A2. Note 4 on page 3 of the solicitation and paragraph 5.3 of the PWS on page 7 of the solicitation address this question.

Q3. Will there be a pre-bid meeting for this Solicitation? I did not see any requirements for the Technical proposal, is there one?

A3. There will not be a pre-bid meeting for this proposal. Technical requirements are listed on page 78 of the solicitation, there is no specific outline.

Q4. In talking with our fire extinguisher service company, they asked the question of who the manufacture is of the fire extinguishers. For example an Amerex extinguisher costs much less to service than an Ansel Extinguisher costs to service. This information would help us to provide the most cost effective price to the Government.

A4. See answer 1.

Q5. Is the Government expecting a complete inspection including replacement parts? Example CLIN 001 is asking for Hydrostatic testing of 105 10lb ABC fire extinguishers. Are we to include costs for just the hydrostatic test, with any replacement parts being billed on an as needed basis? Or include all the parts that go along and are required to do the test?

A5. Same as answer 2.

Q6. Can you give more parameters of when we will be called out to the site to pick up and drop off exinguishers? We need this information to be able to estimate a reasonable amount of time for the CM/CQCM and SSHO that we will be providing. In addition to the yearly inspection will we be expected to come out once a month or 3 to 4 times a year?

A6. This is a requirements contract, as such, quantities are estimated and this contract will be utilized as needed.

The government anticipates requiring service 1-3 times per month, but it could be more, less or none at all as need dictates.

Q7. Hopefully this is the last question of the day! There is no bonding information with this RFP, all Government contracts that I have submitted bids on have their own specific bib bond sheet and we need to provide a bond for 20%. Please advise if this is not a bonded contract?

A7. This is a service contract, bonds are only required on construction contracts not service contracts.

Q8. Unless I am reading page 78 wrong it does not provide an outline for us to follow to put our technical proposal together.

A8. There is no specific outline for the technical proposal.

Q9. I also did not see any size limitations or most importantly where the bid is to be delivered to or who it is to be emailed to.

A9. Size limitation are listed on page 1, block 10 of the solicitation. The bid may be delivered electronically to the contract officer or specialist, mailed to the address on page 1, block 9 of the solicitation or faxed to the fax number on page 1, block 9 of the solicitation. Technical proposal format has been answered in questions 3 and 8.

Q10. Please let me know where and how the bid is to be delivered and what format we are to use for our technical proposal.

A10. See answers provided in Q3, Q8 and Q9.

Q11. Sorry to clog up you in bin, do you have a past performance evaluation form you would like us to use?

Or just provide 4 references? ( as called out on page 78 1Bb).

A11. See answers provided in Q3 and Q8.

Q12. On page 79 1b states it’s the end of the addendum, that terminology is confusing. There is no place to sign or indicate it is an actual addendum. Please clarify A12. The addendum referenced on page 79 is in reference to FAR 52.212-2, which is included to explain the technical evaluation factors requested by the government. Signing the solicitation indicates acceptance of all the terms and conditions in the solicitation.

Q13. One other question, the wage rate information in the RFP is not correct. The project is in Franklin county and the closest WD for that county isPA20170114 according to the website that is referenced.

A13. The Wage Determination referenced in the solicitation is specifically for Franklin County, PA and is correct.

Q14. Please clarify that you are looking for a CG to perform the roll of CM/CQCM/SSHO who will work with a company to perform the filling of fire extinguishers on base.

A14. ALL work will be performed at the contractor's place of business. The contractor will be required to pick up the fire extinguishers here and return them using the same pallet (or whatever method was used to send them out).

Q15. When you say 10# hydro test price for example are you looking for a total price to hydro test the 10# extinguisher (inspection, hydro test, valve stem, agent, seal) or they just looking for the price of the hydro only? The difference is immense, so as you see that could make or break a bid, we may either be too high or too low depending on how everyone reads into it. We want to be apples to apples and that applies to all extinguishers and types.

A15. We would be looking for Inspection, Hydro test, valve stem, agent and seal.

Q16. Do we know the brand of extinguishers as this will effect pricing as some brand parts are more and some are less with regards to agent and valve stems.

A16. See answer 1.

Q17. I see you want a price for halotron's, water mists, pw and FE-36 hydros, 6 years and recharges, you do not list a size so I am unsure how to price these as the price is based on how many lbs. of agent is needed?

A17. Halotron’s 5lb, Water mists, 2.5 Gallons, PW 2.5 Gallons, FE-36 13.5lb

Q18. I am unsure what you are asking with maintenance/parts as well, my thoughts are maybe like I mentioned above, you only what the price, and this maintenance/parts is to be the remaining parts that make up the cost of the service such as valve, inspections, agent, seal)??

A18. See answer 2.

Q19. I am unsure what contractor manhour reporting is, are they looking for just what we charge per hour with regards to labor rates?

A19. Paragraph 5.30 of the PWS on page 8 of the solicitation fully explains CMR and what is required.

Q20. On the amendment you are looking for Hydrostatic testing, Recharge and annual testing for 2.5 lb.

CO2 extinguishers. It is more cost effective (cheaper) to buy new 2.5 lb. CO2 extinguishers then to preform the hydro testing, recharge and annual tests. Would this be a suitable substitution?

A20. Market Research conducted by the Government determined it would be more cost effective to perform testing and recharging of the 2.5lb Co2 extinguishers than to purchase new 2.5lb Co2 extinguishers. Therefore, offering new extinguishers would not be an acceptable substitution.

Q21. For all the fire extinguishers listed except 2.5 lb. CO2 you are asking for pricing on Annual Testing.

Annual testing is a requirement for all other extinguishers. Will you be adding new CLIN's for annual testing?

A21. This solicitation does not ask for pricing of annual testing on all of the extinguishers, it only requires annual maintenance for the 2.5lb Co2 extinguishers. No additional CLIN's will be added for annual testing of the other fire extinguishers.
