SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002 Q&A

Question 1: Given the number of questions we have pending clarification and the fact that this solicitation contains new requirements, we respectfully request that the Government extend the current proposal deadline.

Answer: At this time, based on questions received, do not warrant extending proposal due date.

Question 2: Solicitation, Factor 3 – Property Management Plan, end of the Factor 3 Section.

The offeror shall submit the following information with their offers:

a. A list or description of all Government Property that the offeror or its subcontractors propose to use on a rent-free basis. This list shall identify the accountable contract under which the property is held and the authorization for its use (from the Contracting Officer having cognizance of the property) (written advance notifications shall accompany this submittal);

- The dates during which the property will be available for use (including the first, last, and all intervening months) and, for any property that will be used concurrently in performing two or more contracts, the amounts of the respective uses in sufficient detail to support prorating the rent;

- The amount of rent that would otherwise be charged in accordance with FAR 52.245-9 Uses and Charges (written rental equivalent appraisals shall accompany this submittal within the Price Volume).

- If the offeror will not be utilizing Government Property from other contracts, provide a statement to that effect.

At the site visit, it was stated several times that the Government would be providing all necessary property required to prepare and serve meals, including kitchen utensils, equipment, and cookware, etc. Given that statement:

Question:

Please clarify which Government Property would be specifically identified by the offeror that would be used on a rent-free basis?

Would this include all of the equipment described during the site visit that the Government would provide?

Does the Excel Spreadsheet which was supplied with the draft solicitation include all of the equipment as described on the site visit that the government shall provide to the contractor?

Answer:

The quoted language is directed at any Government Furnished Property (GFP) provided under a different Government contract that the contractor intends to use on this Government contract. That language does not apply to the Government property listed in Attachment 0002. All of the Government property listed in Attachment 2 is accountable property and subject to all of the contract’s applicable terms and conditions, to include clause 52.245-1.

The term “Rent-free basis”, does not apply to any equipment that will be provided to the Contractor to perform this contract.

Attachment 2 includes all GFP that the Gov’t will provide. The Government will also provide all standard kitchen equipment to support the daily operations of the facility, herein reference as Government Furnished Equipment.

Question 3. PWS 5.2.8 Pest Management. The Contractor shall conduct effective integrated pest management service IAW Tri Service Food Code TB MED 530 and DPW procedures for monthly checks.

Under the referenced Tri Service Food Code TB MED 530, what responsibilities does the contract have with regard to pest control; specifically;

Is the Contractor responsible for providing pesticides, or will it be the government's responsibility?

Will the contractor be responsible for providing rodent bait stations or just for the inspection

How is pest control currently regulated?

Answer:

The Government is responsible for providing pesticides.

The Contractor will be responsible for inspections, the Government will provide rodent bait stations.

Pest Control is regulated through Contractor weekly inspections of the facility. If pests are identified, the Contractor will communicate to the COR. The COR and FPM will communicate with DPW to remove pest issues. In addition, Government Preventive Medicine personnel have a scheduled monthly inspection to assess the facility for pest.

Question 4: Are drinking water tests carried out? If so, how often?

Answer: Yes, it is part of the Government Preventive Medicine inspection conducted monthly. Inspection may be conducted quarterly if no issues are identified.

Question 5: During the phase-in period, will all of the equipment and facilities being turned over to the new contractor be thoroughly cleaned and will all preventive maintenance actions up to date for all equipment?

Answer: Yes, the Government will facilitate hand-over of equipment.

Question 6: Does equipment have to be taken over by the current operator or does everything on site belong to the US Army?

Answer: All equipment is owned by the U.S. Government.

Question 7: What modernization projects to improve the facilities are planned and by when?

Answer: Modernization of the facility is currently being discussed, no decisions have been made as to what and when this will occur.

Question 8: What is the government’s assessment of the general condition of the building and the kitchen?

Answer: Due to age, the building and kitchen, requires continuous maintenance. DFAC works closely with DPW to ensure the facility is in operable condition.

Question 9: PWS 5.1.7.2, Food Preparation and Handling Training: Will the Government provide all training requirements specified in the PWS? Will they all be web-based or at Clay Kaserne?

Answer: Yes, the Gov’t will provide this training. Training can be either web-based or Clay Kaserne and dependent on availability of training.

Question 10: Which German inspection authorities can access the site (food preparation standards, food inspection, etc.) and which German food safety laws are applicable?

Answer: No, German inspections authorities cannot access site. The Government utilizes their own inspection authority to conduct inspections. German food safety laws are not applicable to this requirement, the applicable policy that covers this acquisition is TB MED 530 (Tri-Service Food Code).

Question 11: Can an existing on-base cleaning service provider be contracted for cleaning work clothes?

Answer: This is the Contractor’s business decision on how they will meet the requirements of PWS 4.3.
