This solicitation will be issue to 8(a) Firms on a Competitive Basis for Certified Program Participants within the SBA District of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Island only.

All interested firms (local and non-local) need to ensure proper consideration of all required for successful completion of all work avoiding delays due to not being able to obtain personnel, equipment or materials.

A. This section is filled in the released solicitation.

5. Q. We also need the prevailing wage sheet attached.

7. Q. According to the Bid document (excel spreadsheets), we have three (3) items: marked as 0001AK, 0001AL, and 0001AN Elevation Setup. Could you define or explain what the quantity column means? Because of the Bid document (Solicitation IFB- W912C323B0001, PDF document), Section 01 11 00, page 58, you define as: "The unit EA (each) for line items associated with “Elevation Setup” is indicative of one (1) use per each Task Order", but in the Spreadsheet the quantity has a number, what does that number mean? but that use (each) means days, weeks or months.

A. The number in the quantity column corresponding to “Elevation Setup” means the total amount of times an elevating method can be used. This quantity will not be counted in days, weeks, or months, but rather per building of each Task Order as need arises.

0001AP, and 0001AQ, Provide Water Tank and Provide Generator respectively;

12. Q. Will all square footage be consumed entirely in any given one-year option?
