4 Representative and Certification shall offeror, who has already completed annual representations and certifications in SAM; submit the R&C paragraph (b) only completed FAR 52.204-8 with the proposal?

Representative and Certification shall be submitted with your proposal IAW the instructions in the solicitation W91QVN-21-R- 0039. Page 76 of the RFP will change FAR 52.204-8 to FAR 52.212-3.

5 When shall the offeror submit the FEP and Financial Resource, either on the time of the proposal or later when selected?

If the offeror is selected for award. No.

6 The offerors shall submit the certified financial records and documents to include a minimum of three years as of the closing date. If it has not been more than 3 years since an entity was established, is it available for the entity to submit the relevant documents from the establishment date although the covered period would not be more than 3 years?

Yes No.

7 The offerors shall submit the ROK Certificate of

Business Registrations (사업자등록증) that represents "Special Security Guard Services

Please submit as part of the proposal. No.

(특수경비업무). If available, please confirm officially whether the offerors shall submit the Certificate of Business Registrations as part of the proposal.

8 Please provide us with more detailed work descriptions of personnel including Contract Manager, Area Guard Commanders, ER Guard Supervisors, ER Security Guards, and NER Security Guards. It would be a great help for us to assign a work force and make an accurate price schedule.

Duties and responsibilities for the Contract Guards are outlined within Part-2 and Part-5 of the PWS and the stated references (Part-6).

No.

9 In the last bid (W91QVN-19-R-0062), MPS was pre-distributed for each Area and base, so we were able to calculate the exact labor cost. When will the MPS for this bidding be distributed?

The Master Post Schedule was published on 10 May 21 in amendment number 0003 to solicitation number W91QVN-21-R-0039

No.

10 Is there a minimum required vehicle quantity? Contractor shall determine the number and type of vehicles required to meet the PWS requirements i.e. personnel movement and RIT Teams.

No.

11 Does the contractor shall be provide Gas for vehicles?

Contractor is responsible for all associated cost to operate and maintain contractor provided vehicles

No.

12 You told us on the site visit that we shall not alter the Attachment 1. Offer breakdown.

However, there is no cell to input the above elements such as Monthly Basic Wage, etc.

Apart from the Attachment 1. Offer breakdown, shall an offeror submit its own additional offer breakdown that can include the elements?

Offerors may submit additional offer breakdown if needed.

No.

13 There is no attachment with guard force work schedule provided by the US government.

Could you please upload guard force work schedule onto beta.sam.gov?

US government cannot share current contractors work schedules/information. Direct your attention to amendment number 0003 to W91QVN21R0039 posted on 10 May 21.

No.

14 Could you please tell us what is the lead-time of training, how often will you provide the class, and how many people allow to attend each class?

DBIDs training is an annual requirement for the Guard Force. Initial DBIDs training will be coordinated through the COR during the Phase-In period. With the COVID environment, training maybe limited to 15-20 personnel at a given time.

No.

15 There is no FAR 52.204- 8 Offeror Representations and Certifications in this solicitation.

Page 76 para 1.3 will change from FAR 52.204-8 to FAR 52.212-3.

Yes.

16 In my experience, speaking 120 is impossible-to-achieve goal for security guards.

Speaking of English can't be improved in half a year. I would like to recommend you to lower the speaking score at least 100 if possible.

If you stick to the score above, I think that only 10% of current security guard may pass score 120.

Speaking and Listening are the most important factors in the performance of duties. Through a review of current files, obtaining a score of 120 is attainable. The government will not entertain the lowering of the TOEIC requirements.

No.

17 Proposals shall be submitted via beta.SAM.gov. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no function that makes proposal submission available in beta.SAM.gov.

Please confirm if there is a function for offerors to submit the proposal in beta.SAM.gov.

- If it is unavailable to submit proposal via beta.SAM.gov, proposals still shall be submitted via email by 1700 the day before the solicitation closes?

Please see Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instruction to Offeror.

18 Is it available to have the information about current work schedule of the security guard services including post locations, work hours, number of guards, etc?

US government cannot share current contractors work schedules/information. Direct your attention to amendment number 0003 to W91QVN21R0039 posted on 10 May 21.

No.

19 Are there any significant differences in work duties between English Required Security Guards and Non-English Req. Security Guards?

One example is Non-English personnel cannot work at a Visitor Center and should not be on a traffic lane without an English Required personnel. Other differences may be note upon review of the Master Post Schedule.

No.

20 Is it available to have the information about the shift working currently being operated on each post location? We would like to know how many guards need to rotate on each post location within 24 hours.

US government cannot share current contractors work schedules/information. Direct your attention to amendment number 0003 to W91QVN21R0039 posted on 10 May 21.

No.

21 It is assumed the rest of CLINs from 0008 ~ 0014 shall be filled in to Complete the format. Please confirm.
