4. TORFP Pg 1 Para 1 The Period of Performance (POP) is

250 from date of contract award.

Yes

TORFP SOW

p. 1, SOW 3.0

The Period of Performance (POP) is 250 from date of contract award.

Preventive maintenance for 3 years or 3,000 operations hours or whichever comes first will be included.

It appears that the TORFP anticipates a project POP of 250 days from contract award. However, the preventive maintenance being required in the TORFP SOW is 3 years or 3,000 operations hours, whichever comes first. Should the milestone project schedule reflect the 250 days or the 3 years of preventive maintenance?

Reflect 3 years of maintenance.

6. TORFP Pg 1 Para 1 The Period of Performance (POP) is 250 from date of contract award.

Project Schedule depicts that the project is 250 days from contract award. The preventive maintenance requested in the TORFP SOW is 3 years or 3000hrs. Is the QC plan requirement a period of three years or 3000 hours or only the Period of Performance (POP)?

QC plan is required for the period of performance (POP).

7. TORFP Pg 1 Para 1 The Period of Performance (POP) is 250 from date of contract award.

No, the QC plan is required for the period of performance (POP).

8. TORFP SOW

3000 – hours total for all machines/sites.

10. Q&A published 28 April

Page 1, question 2, and Page 4 question 1

In the answer to the second question on page1 the government states “The customer has local contacts that can perform this service. Once awarded, the offeror may meet with these local technicians.”

The answer to the question on page 4 the government states “There is a local distributor of these systems in San Salvador, after award the offeror can be introduced to a local POC.

Perhaps these items are already in existence.”

As this is a lowest priced, technically acceptable award, this information may present an unfair advantage to an incumbent awardee. Will the government provide the contact information for these “local contacts” and “local distributor” to all offerors prior to proposal submission?

No.

12. Q&A published

28 April Page 4, answers to question 1 and 2

The government’s answer to question 1 on this page included the statement “There is a local distributor of these systems in San Salvador, after award the offeror can be introduced to a local POC”. The answer to question 2 includes the statement “I can say that these will be the first such systems in the entire country.”

The government’s statement in the answer to question 1 seems to contradict its answer to question 2.

Please clarify if this is the first such system in the country of El Salvador or if the Hospital currently possesses a technically acceptable make and model SCBA Filling System.

The Q&A published on 28 April has only 2 pages.
