Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Please see RFIs for Ski Lift BATCH # 1

Question 1 -- Performance Start Date & Contractor Mobilization

The solicitation requires performance to begin September 2026. Given that qualified ski lift maintenance personnel -- including certified tower climbers, riggers, and ropeway technicians --typically commit to seasonal contracts 6 to 12 months in advance and are currently fully booked through the 2026 summer maintenance season, would the government consider adjusting the performance start date to allow adequate contractor mobilization time? If not, can the government confirm whether a phased mobilization period prior to the September 2026 start date would be permissible?

Rationale: The ski lift maintenance industry operates on a tight seasonal labor calendar. Soliciting a September 2026 contract in July 2026 does not provide sufficient lead time for contractors to mobilize a qualified, experienced field team. A delayed or phased start date would significantly expand the pool of qualified offerors and reduce risk to the government.

Answer: Yes, in the future we would consider adjusting the performance start date to allow for adequate mobilization time. A phased approach will also be acceptable. Due to the weather conditions here we typically do not start snow making until mid-December or later.

Question 2 -- Emergency Response Time Requirement

The solicitation requires emergency response within four (4) hours on all days including Federal holidays. Can the government clarify: (a) whether this four-hour response requirement applies year-round or only during the active ski season operational calendar; (b) what constitutes an 'emergency' versus a 'non-emergency' maintenance event; and (c) whether the government would consider a tiered response time structure -- for example, 4 hours for critical operational failures during ski season and 24-48 hours for non-critical issues during the off-season?

Rationale: A blanket 365-day, 4-hour emergency response requirement significantly increases contractor cost and labor burden. Clarifying seasonal applicability and defining emergency thresholds would allow offerors to price this requirement accurately and competitively.

Answer: The 4-hour response time can be a physical person or phone call. In the past some issues have been resolved over the phone and follow up visit a day or two later. A) This 4hr

W911SD26QA0860001

response requirement applies only when it is ski season. B) An emergency is anything that threatens health, life, or safety, or any issue that makes the ski lift inoperable during ski season and results in an extended closure. All other conditions fall under non emergency. C) Yes, we would consider a tiered response time structure.

Question 3 -- Contractor Proximity & On-Site Housing

Given the 4-hour emergency response requirement and the secure military installation environment at West Point, can the government clarify: (a) whether there is a minimum proximity requirement for the contractor's primary field technician during the ski season; (b) whether the government provides or permits access to on-site or near-site housing or facilities for contractor personnel stationed at or near Victor Constant Ski Slope during the ski season; and (c) what protocol the government follows if emergency response is delayed due to traffic, weather, or equipment mobilization time beyond the contractor's control?

Rationale: Guaranteeing a 4-hour response at a secure military installation effectively requires a dedicated technician to remain within close proximity of West Point throughout the ski season --representing a significant labor constraint and potential housing cost. Clarifying these requirements allows offerors to price on-call coverage accurately and responsibly.

Answer: A) There is no proximity requirement for contractor's primary field technician, as long as they are able to respond and be on site to resolve issues in a timely manner. In the past a phone call has been sufficient for the 4-hour response time. B) The government doesn't provide access to on-site housing. There are hotels and long term rentals in neighboring towns (Monroe, Cornwall, Highland falls, fort Montgomery, etc. C) Delays caused by traffic, weather, or equipment mobilization are considered unforeseen circumstances outside the contractor's control. In those situations, the government addresses the response on a case by case basis to determine the safest and most appropriate course of action. For awareness, we have not experienced any such delays in the past.

Question 4 -- Parts Availability & Lead Time Exception

The Borvig Triple Chair Lift installed at Victor Constant Ski Slope utilizes obsolete equipment for which replacement parts are available through a sole source supplier. Given the inherent lead times associated with procuring Borvig-specific components -- which may extend beyond four hours for certain critical parts -- will the government allow a documented parts procurement lead time exception to the four-hour emergency response requirement when delays are attributable solely to parts availability from the sole source supplier?

Rationale: Holding a contractor to a 4-hour response time for failures requiring sole-source Borvig parts that may take days or weeks to procure is operationally unrealistic and creates undue contractor liability. A documented exception would protect both the government and the contractor.

Answer: Yes -- the government will allow a documented partsprocurement lead time exception to the fourhour emergency response requirement when delays are attributed solely to parts availability from the solesource supplier.

Question 5 -- Major Equipment Failure Protocol

In the event of a catastrophic or major mechanical failure that renders the ski lift inoperable for an extended period -- such as a haul rope failure, bullwheel failure, or major structural damage -- what is the government's protocol and expectation for the contractor?

Specifically: (a) is the contractor responsible for the cost of major component replacement or only labor and standard maintenance parts; (b) does the government carry separate equipment insurance for major failures; and (c) what are the financial liability parameters for the contractor in the event of extended lift downtime?

Rationale: A major breakdown on a Borvig lift could potentially shut down ski operations for the entire season. Understanding the government's protocol and the contractor's financial exposure for catastrophic failures is essential to responsible proposal development and accurate pricing.

Answer: For catastrophic or major mechanical failures that render the lift inoperable for an extended period, the government's expectation is as follows:

(a) The contractor is responsible for labor and standard maintenance parts only. Major component replacement associated with catastrophic failures is not a contractor cost responsibility.

(b) The government carries its own equipment coverage for major failures and would handle the procurement of largescale components directly.

(c) The contractor is not financially liable for extended downtime resulting from catastrophic failures. These situations are addressed by the government under its equipment coverage and operational protocols.

This approach ensures that catastrophic, seasonending failures on the Borvig lift are handled appropriately and do not create unreasonable financial exposure for the contractor.

Question 6 -- Historical Maintenance & Equipment Condition

Can the government provide the following historical maintenance documentation to assist offerors in accurately scoping and pricing this requirement: (a) the most recent wire rope inspection report and certification date; (b) the date of last haul rope replacement on the Borvig Triple Chair Lift; (c) any outstanding deficiency reports or known equipment issues; and (d) the historical frequency of emergency callouts under the current contract?

Rationale: Without historical maintenance data, offerors cannot accurately price the risk of wire rope replacement, parts procurement, or emergency labor. Wire rope replacement alone on a triple chairlift can represent $100,000 to $200,000 in cost. This information is critical to responsible proposal development.

Answer: Yes - I will provide the info.

Question 7 -- ANSI B77.1 Compliance Documentation

The solicitation states that offerors must hold an up-to-date, valid, and active ANSI B77.1-1999 certification. Can the government clarify: (a) the specific form of documentation required to demonstrate ANSI B77.1 compliance -- for example, whether this refers to a state-certified ropeway inspector credential, a qualified engineer certification, or organizational compliance documentation; and (b) whether compliance demonstrated through a named subcontractor or teaming partner is acceptable for proposal eligibility?

Rationale: ANSI B77.1-1999 is a safety standard, not an individual credential. Clarifying the required form of compliance documentation will ensure offerors can accurately demonstrate eligibility and avoid disqualification based on ambiguous interpretation.

Answer: The government will accept documentation that demonstrates organizational compliance with ANSI B77.11999. Because ANSI B77.1 is a safety standard rather than an individual credential, acceptable documentation may include a statecertified ropeway inspector credential, a qualified engineer's certification, or other formal proof that the offeror meets ANSI B77.1 requirements.

Compliance demonstrated through a named subcontractor or teaming partner is acceptable, provided that the subcontractor's qualifications and ANSI B77.1 compliance documentation are included in the proposal.

Question 8 -- Ski Season Operational Calendar

Can the government confirm the expected operational calendar for Victor Constant Ski Slope --specifically: (a) the anticipated ski season start and end dates; (b) the number of operational days per season; and (c) whether the 24/7 on-call requirement applies exclusively during the ski season or year-round throughout the entire contract performance period?

Rationale: The on-call staffing requirement during ski season effectively requires a dedicated technician to remain within a four-hour radius of West Point for the duration of the season -- a significant labor constraint. Confirming the exact operational calendar allows offerors to price on-call availability accurately.

Answer: Ski slope is open mid-December through mid-March weather permitting. They are in operation 7 days a week during this time, except for certain holidays, in which they close. 24/7 on-call requirement applies exclusively during the ski season, NOT year round.

Question 9 -- Tower Climbing, Rigging & Elevated Work Requirements

The scope of work includes tasks requiring tower climbing, cable lifting, and sheave wheel changes at heights of approximately 35 feet or more. Can the government confirm: (a) the total number of towers requiring service; (b) whether the contractor is required to provide all rigging equipment, hoists, and fall protection gear; (c) whether New York State Scaffold Law compliance and associated insurance requirements are the sole responsibility of the contractor; and (d) whether the government has any preferred or approved rigging methodologies for this specific installation?

Rationale: Elevated structural mechanical work on ski lift towers is among the most specialized and high-risk work in this industry. New York's Scaffold Law creates significant insurance exposure for contractors performing this work. Clarifying equipment, insurance, and compliance expectations is essential to accurate pricing.

Answer: A) Nine lift towers, along with two turnaround assemblies located at the upper and lower terminals. All towers and turnaround structures are part of the operational system and may require inspection, maintenance, or mechanical service under this contract.

B) For tower climbing, rigging, and elevated work, the government follows OSHA standards, not New York State Scaffold Law, as this is a federal installation.

The contractor is responsible for providing -- or arranging -- all required rigging equipment, hoists, and fallprotection gear necessary to safely perform work at height.

C) The government does not prescribe a specific or preferred rigging methodology for this lift;

contractors may use any OSHAcompliant rigging approach appropriate for Borvig tower maintenance.

Question 10 -- Incumbent Contractor Transition

Will the government require or facilitate any formal knowledge transfer or transition assistance from the incumbent contractor to the incoming contractor prior to the September 2026 performance start date? If so: (a) what is the expected duration and scope of the transition period; and (b) will the incumbent contractor be required to provide equipment documentation, maintenance records, and site familiarization to the incoming contractor?

Rationale: Given that this contract has been held by the same contractor for an extended period, a formal transition period would significantly reduce operational risk for the government and allow the incoming contractor to familiarize themselves with the specific equipment configuration, maintenance history, and installation security protocols.

Answer: There will be no formal knowledgetransfer or transition period required from the incumbent contractor. However, the government can assist in facilitating contact between the incoming contractor and the previous contractor so they can coordinate any informal familiarization, documentation review, or background discussions as needed.

Question 11 -- Security & Base Access Requirements

Can the government provide detailed information regarding: (a) the CAC badging process and estimated timeline for contractor personnel; (b) the maximum number of personnel that may be registered for base access under this contract; (c) whether subcontractor and teaming partner personnel are eligible for base access credentials; and (d) whether there are any restrictions on contractor personnel access during non-business hours for emergency response purposes?

Rationale: West Point is a secure military installation with specific access requirements.

Understanding the CAC badging timeline, personnel limits, and after-hours emergency access protocols is essential for contractors to plan staffing and mobilization accurately -- particularly given the 4-hour emergency response requirement.

Answer: Contractor personnel do not require CACs or base access credentials, as the Victor Constant Ski Slope is located off post.

There is no limit on the number of contractor or subcontractor personnel who may access the ski slope, and subcontractor/teaming partner personnel are fully eligible to perform work without any additional credentialing requirements.

There are no restrictions on nonbusinesshour access for emergency response. Contractors simply need to notify the COR whenever access to the ski slope is required.

Question 12 -- Site Visit Documentation

Will the government make available to all offerors any notes, photographs, equipment condition reports, or other documentation generated as a result of the July 16, 2026 site visit? If so, when can offerors expect to receive this documentation?

Rationale: Ensuring all offerors have access to site visit findings promotes fair and competitive proposal development and allows contractors who were unable to attend the site visit to develop accurate and informed proposals.

Answer: Photos, Manuals, and Records. The solicitation is open to all Small Business Concerns.

The site visit was not mandatory.
