AMENDMENT 01

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

QUESTION 1: Proposal Submission requirements (Section 2. M of 002100) refer to a Factor 4 - sample task order.

The other parts of the solicitation do refer to Factor 4 as price and a Technical approach to a sample task order is not addressed. Please clarify.

A. ANSWER 1: Solicitation, Page 6, m. – Delete “Factor Four (4) – Sample Task Order (Technical approach Only).” Volume 1 is comprised of only 3 technical factors (Experience, Past Performance, and Management Approach).

QUESTION 2: BLG Clause on page 58 requires the submittal of a BLG in the amount of 10 % of the anticipated contract value after award of the contract (US $5,000,000 as 10 % of the total contract value for base contract and all options). The BLG will have to stay in place until expiration of the warranty period. Since the contract period with all options is three years and the warranty period for the last project performed in Germany ends four years after final acceptance of this project, the total period in which the BLG has to be maintained would add up to approximately 8 years. It seems that the amount of the BLG may only be reduced from 10% to 5 % after final acceptance of the last project. Warranty periods of projects completed and accepted within the base year would end approx. after five years from the beginning of the contract. BLA and BLG of the said amounts incur considerable cost, even more due to the very long duration of the complete contract/warranty period. We consider the security which the Government is asking for to be relatively high as the amount to be provided is 10% of the total contract volume, a number which will only be achieved at the end of the contract. Would the Government consider to replace the current security requirement by an approach that reflects the real awarded sums with their respective execution and warranty periods?

A. ANSWER 2: The BLA and BLG amount shall remain 10% for each.

QUESTION 3: The BLA/BLG shall be submitted for 10% of the anticipated maximum contract value. Is it possible to submit the BLA in EURO instead of USD?

A. ANSWER 3: Yes. The BLA/BLG can be submitted in EURO instead of USD. For purposes of the BLA/BLG, €4,000,000.00 would be considered 10%.

QUESTION 4: On page 8 of the solicitation a range for experience up to $1,250,000 is described. Attachment 2 only shows a range up to $ 1,000,000. What is the correct range?

A. ANSWER 4: Attached is a revised version of Attachment 2 indicating the range is between $50,000 (€40,000) and $1,250,000 (€1,000,000).

W912GB-16-R-0023

QUESTION 5: Attached to the Solicitation is the UPB 2015 and a Supplement to the UPB. The solicitation refers only to the UPB. Shall the Supplement be part of the UPB and the wording includes both?

A. ANSWER 5: Solicitation, Page 1, Block 10, Attachments – Reference is made to both the 2015 Germany Unit Price Book and Supplement as documents pertaining to the subject procurement.

QUESTION 6: Will award be made to one contractor only? Or is it possible, that more contractors will be awarded?

A. ANSWER 6: Award will be made to only one (1) contractor.
