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

W911SD26QA0860002

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.

Hours of Operation

Non-Holiday Hours:

Mon-Fri: 3pm-9pm

Saturday: 9am-7pm

Sunday: 9am-5pm

Holiday Hours: 9am-5pm (any day)

Holidays:

Dec 26th - 31st, and Jan 1st (Winter Holiday)

Jan 19th (MLK Jr. Day)

Feb 16th (Presidents Day)

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.

Please see RFI BATCH # 2--See uploaded documents on the SAM.gov Site

1. Manufacturer Documentation

Section 1.2.3 of the Performance Work Statement references the Borvig Instruction Manual (1983 Edition) and the Multi Lift manufacturer's quality management requirements for construction, operation, handling, and maintenance. Could the Government please provide copies of these documents or advise how offerors may obtain them?

Answer: The Government acknowledges the reference in Section 1.2.3 of the Performance Work Statement to the Borvig Instruction Manual (1983 Edition) and the Multi Lift manufacturer's quality management requirements. These documents were not previously available in electronic form.

The Government has since located an original hard copy Borvig manual in the ski lift operator's historical records. This manual will be scanned and provided to all offerors as part of an upcoming solicitation update. In addition, the Government will include available historical inspection and maintenance reports for both the Borvig Triple Chair Lift and the Multi Lift Handle Tow to assist offerors in understanding past maintenance practices and current system condition.

The Government does not possess formal Multi Lift manufacturer quality management documentation beyond what is already reflected in the PWS. If additional manufacturer materials are located during the scanning process, they will be included in the same release.

2. Work Hours

Please confirm whether maintenance activities are restricted to the hours identified in the solicitation or whether work outside of those hours, including weekends, may be performed with prior coordination.

Answer: Maintenance activities are not restricted solely to the hours identified in the solicitation.

The contractor may perform work outside of those hours, including evenings and weekends, provided they coordinate in advance with the Government and receive approval prior to performing the work.

The intent is to allow the contractor sufficient flexibility to complete maintenance tasks without disrupting operations, while ensuring the Government is aware of personnel on site and can manage access, safety, and lift availability.

3. Quality Control Plan

Is there an example or preferred format for the required Quality Control Plan?

The PWS does require the contractor to submit a QCP, but no template is provided. The Contractor shall provide a Quality Control Plan (QCP) five (5) business days before contract start.

Answer: See attached for QCP template.

4. Low-Voltage Controls

The Performance Work Statement states:

"Install an additional lift start control operator into the existing electrical control box on the exterior of the bottom lift house. One-time requirement to allow lift operators to be in contact with patrons upon a restart."

Could the Government provide additional clarification regarding this requirement, including any available drawings, specifications, photographs, or existing electrical documentation?

Answer: This requirement appears to be legacy language from an older PRS or prior contract cycle.

The operator indicated that the additional lift start control has already been installed and has been in place for a long time. No additional lift start control installation is required under this contract.

The existing system already includes the exterior lift start control referenced in the PWS.

No drawings, specifications, photographs, or electrical documentation are available because no new installation is needed. I will attach a picture of the exterior lift start control.

5. Tower and Structural Painting

Is annual painting of towers and structural components required regardless of condition, or should painting be performed only where deterioration is identified?

Answer: Annual tower painting is required regardless of condition. Under PWS, painting is a conditionbased maintenance task. Government confirms that painting of towers and structural components is required. PWS states:

STRUCTURES: Check for cracks in welds and general appearance that may indicate deterioration of the structural integrity of each.

Prep, spot prime and fully paint towers as per statement, or as directed by the KO or COR:

Towers # 1, 2 & 3, during the base year and 3rd option year. Towers # 4, 5 & 6 during the 2nd. opt year. Towers # 7, 8 & 9 during 1st option and 4th option years. Prep, spot prime and spot paint all other structures. Paint shall be oil base, and color shall remain the same.

6. Chairs

Previous maintenance records indicate annual painting of carriers and replacement of wooden seat slats. Since these activities are not specifically identified within the Performance Work Statement, should offerors assume these items are excluded from the required scope unless otherwise directed?

Answer: Although the current Performance Work Statement (PWS) does not specifically list annual painting of carriers or replacement of wooden seat slats, the Government intends for these activities to be performed as condition based maintenance when necessary.

The ski lift carriers and wooden seat slats are part of the overall lift system covered under PWS 1.2.3, which requires the contractor to ensure the lift is maintained in "full and safe working order."

When paint deterioration or seat slat wear affects safety, usability, or longevity, the contractor shall perform repainting or replacement as part of normal maintenance.

These tasks are not required annually, but they are included in the scope when conditions warrant.

The contractor shall identify any needed painting or seat slat replacement during inspections and include them in the deficiency report submitted to the COR.

Offerors should assume that painting of carriers and replacement of wooden seat slats are included in the required scope on an as needed basis, and shall be performed when conditions indicate maintenance is necessary.

7. Spare Parts Inventory

Does the Government maintain an inventory of spare parts and equipment for the Borvig Triple Chair Lift and Multi Lift Handle Tow, including items such as carriers, grips, sheave wheels, liners, brake pads, or other major components?

If an inventory is not maintained, should offerors include procurement of replacement parts as part of their proposed pricing?

Answer: There are no spare part inventory and equipment for the Borvig Triple Chair Lift and Multi Lift Handle Tow. They have some parts in the lift house (see attached pictures). Offeror should include procurement of replacement parts as part of the proposed pricing.

8. Multi Lift Tow Handles

During the site visit, there were "used/new" tow handles located in the lift control house. It was explained that the existing black tow handles are to be replaced with orange tow handles.

However, the two handle types appear to utilize different mounting designs and operating configurations.

The Performance Work Statement does not address this transition. Could the Government please provide any available manufacturer documentation, installation instructions, specifications, or compatibility guidance regarding the replacement of the existing black tow handles with the orange tow handles on the Multi Lift system?

Answer: Existing black tow handles have become difficult to source. Replacement units of the original style are no longer readily available through the manufacturer or standard suppliers.

The orange tow handles were selected because they are compatible with the Multi Lift system.

These handles were reviewed and approved by the ski lift operator, who verified that they function properly with the existing equipment and meet operational needs.

The ski lift operator recommended transitioning to the orange handles. Based on availability, compatibility, and operator preference, the Government intends to begin replacing the older black handles with the newer orange units as part of routine maintenance.

No additional installation instructions or manufacturer documentation is required. The orange handles are a suitable and approved replacement. The contractor may proceed with installation using standard mounting practices consistent with the Multi Lift system.

Yes -- the orange tow handles are approved, compatible replacements for the existing black handles. The Government has reviewed and accepted their use, and the contractor may begin transitioning to the new units. See attached photos for reference.

9. Emergency Response Requirement

The Performance Work Statement states that the contractor shall "respond to emergency services within four (4) hours of notification." Could you please clarify whether this requirement refers to:

o acknowledgment or initiation of technical response within four (4) hours; or o physical on-site arrival of qualified personnel within four (4) hours?

o It also states 40 hours total. What if the required emergency response exceeds 40 hours?

If the Government's intent is for the contractor to initiate technical response within four (4) hours, would remote diagnostic support (telephone or video conferencing) to assist Government personnel suffice?

Answer: Acknowledgment or initiation of technical response will suffice. Typically, a phone call or video conference can get the issue resolved.

10. Historical Emergency Service Calls

Can the Government provide the approximate number of emergency service calls that occurred under the current or previous contract during each of the last five (5) years?

Answer:

Date Issue Description System Affected

January 7 Lift down - battery failure Borvig Triple Chair Lift

January 24 Electrical/battery issue Borvig Triple Chair Lift

January 30 Battery issue - warmer/tender Borvig Triple Chair Lift

February 3 Junior Tow down - cable came off, guide bent, shop work with metal fabricator Multi Lift Handle Tow

11. Existing Conditions and Planned Improvements

Are there any known deficiencies, recurring maintenance concerns, or planned capital improvements to the Borvig Triple Chair Lift or Multi Lift Handle Tow that offerors should consider when preparing their quotations?

Answer: No -- there are no known deficiencies, recurring issues, or planned capital improvements that offerors need to factor into their quotations beyond what is already described in the PWS. The lifts are operating normally, and the Government is not planning any major upgrades or replacements at this time.

12. CLIN 0003

Please clarify the intended application of CLIN 0003 and the circumstances under which emergency labor in excess of the base contract requirements would be authorized.

Answer: CLIN 0003 (Emergency Labor) is a Governmentdirected, asneeded emergency labor line item used only when emergency response requirements exceed the base contract scope. The KO must authorize its use prior to performance. Authorization for CLIN 0003 will occur only when the KO provides explicit direction. The contractor should not assume CLIN 0003 applies to routine deficiencies, scheduled maintenance, or any work already described in PWS (S)1.2.3.

13. CLIN 0005

Please provide clarification regarding the intended scope and use of CLIN 0005.

Answer: CLIN 0005 is intended to provide the Government with a priced mechanism for additional, non emergency labor or services that fall outside the base preventive maintenance and inspection requirements of the PWS, but do not meet the criteria for emergency response covered under

CLIN 0003.

CLIN 0005 may be used when:

The Government identifies additional maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions that are not part of the annual preventive maintenance scope in PWS 1.2.3

Work is not an emergency, but still requires contractor support beyond routine PM

The KO directs supplemental labor, such as:

o Condition based repairs discovered during inspections o Replacement of components not listed in the PWS but necessary for safe operation o Additional painting, seat slat replacement, or other condition based tasks o Non emergency troubleshooting or diagnostic labor

The Government requires unscheduled support that cannot be reasonably included in the base CLINs

CLIN 0005 does not authorize unilateral contractor action. It is used only when the KO provides explicit direction and approves the labor under this CLIN.

14. Inspection Standards

Please confirm whether annual nondestructive testing (NDT) inspections of grips are required under this contract and identify any applicable inspection standards, including whether ANSI B77.1 requirements are intended to apply where not otherwise specified within the solicitation.

Answer: The Government confirms that annual testing of chairlift grips is required under this contract. This requirement refers to mechanical disassembly, inspection, lubrication, and reassembly, not nondestructive testing. I will attach a inspection/maintenance report from 23 Oct 25 that explains the grip testing that we expect. Report states: "Removed chairs for grip testing with report attached. Grips tested were 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 92. Chairs moved back 24". Chairs 61 and 92 were cleaned and painted. Grip slip test at 240 ft lbs.

See grip test in attached inspection/maintenance report.

15. Operational Evaluation

Answer: Certain operational characteristics and maintenance conditions of the Borvig Triple Chair Lift and Multi Lift Handle Tow could not be fully evaluated during the site visit, as the systems were not observed in operation. As a result, offerors are required to make assumptions regarding the operational condition of the equipment when preparing their bids.

If additional information, maintenance records, inspection reports, operational data, photographs, or other documentation is available regarding the current condition of the lift systems, we would appreciate the opportunity to review it. This information would help reduce assumptions and allow offerors to prepare bids that more accurately reflect the intended scope of work.

Answer: The Government acknowledges that certain operational characteristics of the Borvig Triple Chair Lift and Multi Lift Handle Tow could not be fully evaluated during the site visit due to the systems not being in operation at that time. As a result, we understand that offerors may need to make reasonable assumptions regarding current equipment condition when preparing their quotations.

I will scan and attach additional maintenance records, inspection reports, operational data, or manufacturer documentation. The systems are currently operating as intended, and no outstanding deficiencies or capital improvement projects have been identified outside the preventive maintenance requirements listed in the PWS.

If any additional documentation becomes available prior to award, the Government will issue it to all offerors simultaneously through an amendment or formal communication from the KO.

Offerors should prepare their bids based on the requirements and conditions described in the PWS and the information observed during the site visit.
