Please note if the site visit is on Tuesday, all site visit RSVPs are due on the preceding Friday. Please email the Contract Specialist your company's attendance, along with the number of subcontractors attending. In the email include the solicitation number and "site visit" in the subject line.

2. The names of individuals who are projected to attend are not necessary. The MICC is only looking for the number of individuals attending. We will be limiting groups to 10 at a time, so staggering of groups may be necessary.

3. Only one individual per firm is allowed to attend the site visit. (1 individual from the prime and 1 individual from each subcontractor’s firm)

4. Face masks must be worn by all attending parties. MICC Fort McCoy will not be providing face masks.

5. Six feet social distancing space must be maintained at all times by all parties.

6. Bathrooms are accessible before the site visit for hand washing. Contractors may return to the MICC for access to the bathroom after the site visit for hand washing.

7. Violation of these rules may be grounds for individuals to be removed from the site visit.

These ground rules are intended to be followed by all attending the site visit and those conducting the site visit. This is to ensure the safety of the entire team, including the individuals attending and those conducting the site visits.

These measures ensure all parties are following the CDC Guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If you have any symptoms or are unsure of your COVID-19 status, please do not attend the site visit. Please follow CDC Guidelines for self-isolation if you have any symptoms as identified by the CDC.

Please ensure you arrive at Fort McCoy early enough to gain access to the installation prior to the beginning of the site visit. All parties will meet at the Contracting Office, 1108 South R Street, Fort McCoy, WI, before visiting any site locations. Late arrivals will not be accommodated nor will any additional site visits be scheduled.

Please utilize the time before the site visit to review and become familiar with all the documents.

Questions will not be answered at the site visit. All questions must be emailed to the Contract Specialist by the deadline stated in the solicitation. All questions will be answered and an amendment will be posted to beta.sam.gov showing all questions received and all applicable answers.
