Question and Answer

W91ZLK-20-R-0012

UPDATED 6/18/20

5/27/20 1--The Performance Work Statement alludes to "Attachment 1" and "Attachment 2," but there are no attachments inside the Word file. So, does this notation actually refer to the Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 equipment lists that are contained inside the Excel file?

A: 1. The PWS should include attachment marked as equipment list. The original PWS included both attachments it was merged into one and labeled as equipment list.

2--The instructional text displayed on BETA SAM itself (not inside any of the attached files) refers to a "Vendor Bid Schedule Attachment." Can you please clarify if the "Vendor Bid Schedule Attachment" is the on-screen text itself, or if this is a missing file that will be uploaded to BETA SAM later on?

A: Vendor Bid schedule was also a separate document however it was determined to structure the CLIN's in a simplified manner verses multiple CLINs. This is also something that should have been removed prior to posting the Vendor Bid schedule is the CLIN structure.

3--This seems to be a contract that would be covered by the Service Contract Act (SCA). Some agencies opt to upload and attach the SCA Wage Determinations file to the RFP notice inside BETA SAM, but I don't see one there right now for solicitation #W91ZLK-20-R-0012. My company knows how to look up the Wage Determination inside BETA SAM anyway, so it is okay; we just wanted to mention this, in case you want to upload the SCA Wage Determinations as an attachment with the RFP notice while you are looking closely at the file structure anyway.

A: SCA Wage Determinations as determined by Federal law.

Q1. Upon reviewing the referenced solicitation I noticed that in the bid pricing section there are only two CLIN's. In the first CLIN it looks like you want a price for all maintenance, both Preventative and Remedial for the items in Attachment # 1. It also appears that there are two types of Remedial Maintenance, Regular and Emergency. If I understand this correctly, how many hours of Regular and Emergency remedial maintenance should I include in my bid for this CLIN?

A1. Regular maintenance includes both attachments, Attachment 1 and Attachment 2. (based upon historical data) 485 hours annually.

Emergency maintenance both attachments, (based upon historical data) 40 hours annually.

Q2. Attachment # 2 lists machines that are subject to remedial maintenance only. I assume this maintenance will be at an hourly rate. Where do I enter my bid for this hourly rate?

A2. No, The cost for this requirement is addressed in the answer to Question 1.
