- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, the test program in FAR Subpart 13.5, and FAR Part 15, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Solicitation Number is 7TF-04-0008 and is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 01-19. This is a full and open procurement under NAICS 517110. The objective of the resulting contract is to obtain operation and maintenance of the existing frame relay circuits and one point-to-point DS1 private line circuit, at the sites listed below. Due to the remote nature of the Corps of Engineers facilities, site survey requests will not be honored. The successful offeror will be responsible for circuit installation and accessory charges if necessary. A one-year warranty from the installation date is required for all accessories. If accessories at any locations do not function during the one-year warranty, the contractor shall ship replacements overnight to those locations and a USACE employee will handle the installation. The contractor shall coordinate with required service providers to provide Frame Relay services to Corps of Engineers existing offshore locations not accessible via physical cable facilities. The contractor shall provide an assigned, dedicated Project Manager for implementation and support during life of contract, a dedicated Operations Service Manager to handle repair escalations and larger outage issues, and an assigned Customer Care Manager (CCM) that has responsibility and accountability for the accuracy of billing. These individuals must be identified in the proposal. The CCM shall ensure billing accuracy by validating every billing component within 7 days of installation. The contractor shall provide a total monthly service charge on one bill. CCM will provide first bill walk-through to ensure the customer understands the bill. Credits are to be applied for out of service conditions.
