The closing date for questions has not changed.

The Solicitation closing date has not changed.

Question 1: While the site survey is recommended, is it mandatory?

Response: No, attendance at the site visit is not mandatory. Quoters are eligible for award and may submit a quote package in response to this Solicitation without attending the scheduled site visit. However, offerors are highly encouraged to attend. In accordance with FAR 52.237-1 (Site Visit), quoters are expected to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award. Again, The site-visit will not be available at any other times prior to the bid due date.

Will the Government provide all vendors with a site-visit attendance list, site visit Question 2:

answers, photographs, or any additional technical information gathered during the site visit?

Yes. Following the conclusion of the site visit, the Government will issue a formal Response:

solicitation amendment on Sam.gov. This amendment will include the official site visit sign-in /attendance sheet, any official Government-provided photographs (if authorized for release), and the compiled written Questions and Answers. Any independent technical data, measurements, or signal readings gathered by individual vendors during the site visit are considered proprietary to those specific firms. The Government will not collect, synthesize, or distribute technical data gathered independently by prospective offerors.

Access and Badging. Beyond photo ID at the gate, are there any additional access, Question 3:

escort, or check-in requirements for the site visit itself?

No. Vendors will be escorted during this site visit. Intersted parties will meet at the Response:

front entrance of MEARNG Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ) Building and will be allowed to enter

W912JD26QA0160001

by Government personnel. Please enter in the door in the corner behind the flagpoles in the front of the building. A member of the MEARNG behind the security desk will check photo I.D. and issue guest badge.

Question 4: Installation access requirements. For planning purposes, are there any base specific requirements for the eventual installation crew, such as background/security vetting, escort requirements, badging, or advance registration for contractor and subcontractor personnel?

Response: Yes. See PWS section 1.4.5 and accompanying subsections on AT-OPSEC, iWatch training. These requirements are also listed in Technical Exhibit 2 "Deliverables Schedule" (page 17 of PWS).

Question 5: Existing DAS Documentation. Will the Government provide existing DAS build diagrams, riser diagrams, floor plans, antenna layouts, cable schedules, headend drawings, splitter /coupler details, and any prior commissioning or closeout documentation from the previous DAS solution?

Response: No. The current system was not part of the original building plan and therefore not documented as it should have been.

Question 6: Existing Passive Infrastructure. Can the Government provide the known quantity, type, location, and condition of existing antennas, coax/fiber cabling, splitters, couplers, taps, connectors, jumpers, grounding/bonding components, and related passive DAS equipment?

Response: Can only offer very limited information on the current system. This is the reason the Government is offering a site visit.

Question 7: Existing Coverage/Test Data. Does the Government have any recent benchmark testing, grid testing, walk test data, trouble reports, or carrier performance data showing the current service failures by carrier and by area of the building?

Response: No. The Government does not have any of this information.

Question 8: Passive Infrastructure Replacement Allowance. Since the PWS requires the contractor to include the cost of any required passive component replacements in the Firm-Fixed- Price proposal, can the Government confirm whether offerors should price a defined allowance for unknown damaged or non-compliant passive components, or should all risk be included in the base price?

Response: The Government will not provide a defined allowance or contingency fund for these components. Offerors should utilize their technical expertise, site survey (if conducted), and historical data to estimate and price these requirements within their totally proposed firm fixed price quote. During the performance, any differing site conditions are encountered. The Government my choose to address these unforeseen issues via bilateral contact modification issued by the Contracting Officer.

Question 9: Current Signal Source. Is the existing system operating as an off air repeater system, a carrier fed system, or another architecture? Please identify the current donor/source method for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, and if the current solution has all three carriers already.

Response: The current solution supported all three.

Question 10: 95% Coverage Requirement - Please confirm whether the 95% coverage requirement applies to the entire approximately 100,000-square-foot area as a single total area, or whether each floor, zone, room type, or critical area must independently meet 95% coverage.

Response: Overall 95% coverage.

Question 11: Critical Areas. Are there specific mission-critical rooms, operations centers, conference rooms, secure areas, stairwells, mechanical rooms, basements, or other locations that must receive priority coverage?

Response: No, there are no priority areas.

Question 12: Public Safety DAS / LMR / In Building WiFi. Is the requirement limited to commercial cellular coverage only, or are public safety DAS, LMR, emergency responder radio coverage, In- Building WiFi, or E911 location services included in scope?

Response: Limited to commercial cellular coverage only.

Question 13: Electrical Power. Can the Government provide available power information at the existing headend location, including voltage, available circuits, panel capacity, grounding, UPS availability, and whether new electrical work is anticipated?

Response: New system will need to use similar power requirements as the current system. No new electrical work is anticipated.

Question 14: Will the Government allow attendees to take photographs, measurements, signal readings, and notes during the site visit?

Response: Notes are permitted. Measurements are permitted. Signal readings are permitted.

Limited photographs permitted and will have to be reviewed before vendor leaves site visit. The vendors can ask for permission from the escort prior to taking a picture.

Question 15: Section 1.4.5, 1.4.5.2, 1.4.5.3, 1.4.5.4, 1.4.5.5. Do all of these trainings need to be done before the site visit on Wednesday July 15th? Or is this just for when the bid has been won and before work begins.

Response: Not necessary for the site visit. This training is only necessary to be completed after award, but prior to the start of the site-work. The only site-visit requirement is to register by July 10th and arrive with a photo I.D.
