1. The attached cut sheet for JSN A1132 has suffix designations “A, B, C, D, E” in the title. There is no “A1132E” listed in the item description or room list. Please verify there is no A1132E required.

ANSWER: Correct, there is no A1132E.

2. PWS 3.4 states the requirement for submission of a physical sample of the artwork framing. Is there any way this requirement can be “after award”? There’s a good deal of cost involved for the framing vendors to provide these samples as they typically have to order a full length piece of the actual framing material, in addition to the labor cost of the mock-up, shipping, etc. I believe section 5 of the PWS clearly states the requirements – so there should be no confusion amongst bidders.

ANSWER: Requirements in Section 3 of the PWS are post-award work plan requirements for the successful contractor. No artwork samples are required as part of the quote submission. Please refer to the Instructions to Quoters for submission requirements.

17. Will the Government approve partial invoicing/payment for this project?

ANSWER: Partial Invoicing is not currently an option for this contract.

18. We have contacted several suppliers that will only provide price quotes if we show documented proof that we are acting on behalf of the USACE or otherwise show a GSA letter. As we are not on GSA, is there something that the Government provides that we can show to a vendor?

ANSWER: GSA Pricing and GSA Schedule does not apply to this solicitation.

19. On the initial review I notice count discrepancies from the CID doc to the Excel pricing doc. For example: Item A11321A, B, C, D, E (Equipment Rails w/accessories) is listed as QTY 1 on top of the Furniture Illustration Form (CID) and also on the Excel pricing doc. But the Detail in the Salient features represents more quantities with different accessories based on room. Should we follow the “detail” in the Salient features and update the Excel Pricing Doc accordingly? Also please note that given that there would be a variance in price per room based on the accessories. Should we represent the overall cost for the lot on the pricing spreadsheet?

ANSWER: Price on the pricing spreadsheet should represent the cost for the lot and will include all locations and accessories per location.

20. V0025 & V0030: The companies that are willing to provide me with pricing cannot offer an European plug, type F to meet the 210-240 V as requested. Is there any way to allow a convertor or adaptor for some of these equipment or would Huntsville accept another manufacturer other than the listed manufacturer, as long as we can come close to the specifications?

ANSWER: A converter is not acceptable to convert 110v to 210-240v. If a quoter is unable to provide a table with the required plug, they may include services performed by a licensed electrician to hardwire Type F plug/cordsets to the JSN.

21. Since we are quoting the bulk as specified if you can send the live versions of the illustration sheets from the RFQ it is appreciated. Unless illustration sheets are not required for the submittal. We do plan to provide product literature and product model # detail.

ANSWER: Per the Instructions to Quoters (page 12 of 41), if the quoted items are the same as the items specified in the CID, and all quoted fabrics and finishes are the same as those listed in the CID, then Furniture Illustration Sheets are not required in this quote. Instead, the quoter shall provide a narrative that states which products are being provided that are identical to the CID.

A Blank Furniture Illustration Sheet in excel is provided for your use when quoting alternate items. It is not required to use this specific format, however, all content listed in the Instructions to Quoters is required on all Furniture Illustration Sheets for alternate items.
