The following have been added by full text:

QUESTION & ANSWERS

FABRICATION IDIQ QUESTIONS

1. In regards to Section B – Supplies or Services and Prices

a. Price Schedule for IDIQ– If an offeror does not participate in field activities, is pricing required for items numbered 0001 through 4004?

Addressed by amendment. Field activities not part of IDIQ contract.

b. Notes for Contracting Line Item (CLIN) Schedule – Sentence 3. Is the intent that the hourly rate for each category of labor shall remain fixed as quoted for the life of the MATOC regardless of the number of hours in the period?

Each category of labor shall remain fixed as quoted for the life of the contract.

c. Notes for Contracting Line Item (CLIN) Schedule – Sentence 4. Is the intent of the Government to award each resultant order based on the number of man hours quoted or the extended amount?

Amount

d. Notes for Contracting Line Item (CLIN) Schedule – Second paragraph. Is it the intent of the Government for each Delivery Order request to have a MATOC awardee provide vendor quotes for raw materials, subcontractor quotes for outsources material and labor, and labor hour quotes for each CLIN? If this is the intent, what will be the evaluation criteria?

No. This is just a materials cost.

e. Due the extensive level of detail that would be required per d. above, what is the anticipated time that will be allowed to prepare a quotation? How long will the Government require to evaluate and make an award?

The amount of time given to prepare a quotation and evaluate to make an award will vary depending on the complexity of the work. Each RFP letter will have the date/time due for proposals. It also has a statement that if an extension is needed the contractor can make a request in writing.

f. Price Schedule – BBF Bulkheads – Is pricing in this section purely for fabrication?

This is for fabrication and delivery to the project. Offloading of delivery truck to be accomplished by the Government.

g. Price Schedule – BBF Bulkheads – Does the Government require pricing for each category listed in each Item? If so, what are categories Project Manager, Superintendent, and Site Safety Officer includes as these are normally associated with site work as opposed to off site work in a fabricators facility?

No. You only need to list the category if that category is involved in the proposal for that specific delivery order. You may have a proposal that none of the categories in the base contract are applicable.

h. Price Schedule – BBF Bulkheads – As a Small Business Contractor, internal price estimates and costing are not broken down as identified in the solicitation. Estimates are prepared and broken down into three categories only. Fabrication Labor, Machining Labor, and Materials (including outsourced labor). Would this breakdown be considered acceptable?

Yes.

2. The scope of the resultant MATOC as defined in Section 2, paragraph C-2.0 is defined as “consists of furnishing all labor and equipment necessary to fabricate and/or rehabilitate structural operating equipment…”

a. Will offers be considered if a Company does not do field work?

Yes. Field work is removed via amendment.

b. If an offeror is a build to print fabricator with all of the other qualifications but does not do field work, is off-loading of fabricated equipment at site a requirement.

Whether or not off-loading is required will be specifically identified on each individual delivery order.
