MORE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM POTENTIAL OFFERORS AND THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS (Q) AND ANSWERS (A) ARE PROVIDED FOR USE BY ALL COMPETITORS: A. (Q) ARE GUARDS ENTITILED TO HEALTH AND WELFARE (BENEFITS)? (A) THIS IS NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT ACT CONTRACT UNDER WHICH AN ANNUAL WAGE DETERMINATION, INCLUDING HEALTH AND WELFARE ALLOWANCES, ARE INCLUDED. THIS IS A COMMERCIAL PURCHASE ORDER WITH FIR M FIXED PRICED COMMERCIAL GUARD SERVICES ARE BEING ACQUIRED FOR A ONE YEAR PERIOD ONLY. THE PURCHASE IS COVERED BY OTHER LABOR STATUTES THAT REQUIRE OFFERORS AND POTENTIAL CONTRACTORS TO PAY A LIVING WAGE WITH APPROPRIATE BENEFITS. IF DURING THE GOVERNME NT'S EVALUTION, AN OFFEROR APPEARS TO BE TOO LOW IN HIS/HER PRICING, THE WAGES WILL BE EXAMINED AND QUESTIONED. B. (Q) GUARD ACCESS TO VENDING MACHINES, ETC. (A) AS STATED IN THE LAST AMENDMENT, 0002 PARAGRAPH a-1 AND AVAILABLE AT THE WEBSITE https://wwwproc.redstone.army.mil/acquisition/amcom_main.html: BATHROOOM AND OTHE ACCOMMODATIONS WILL BE MADE FOR THE GU ARD PERSONNEL IN OR NEAR THE TEST SITE OFFICE. C. (Q) DO THE RESUMES OF TWO GUARDS NEED TO BE PRESENTED WITH THE OFFER OR BEFORE WORK: (A) RESUMES HAVE NEVER BEEN A SOLICITATION REQUIREMENT, BUT THE PRESENTATION OF VALID AND CURRENT SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCES, VALID BACKGROUND CHECK AND BEING OF USA CITIZENSHIP MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH THE OFFER. D. (Q) MUST AN OFFEROR HAVE VALID SECURITY CLEARANCE ON PROPOSED GUARD PERSONNEL (COULD BE EXPENSIVE) PRIOR TO CONTRACT PERFORMANCE? (A) IT IS THE PREFERENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT THE OFFEROR BE IN POSSESSION OF VALID AND CURRENT SECRET CLEARANCES FOR TWO GUARD INDIVIDUALS AT THE TIME OF OFFER SUBMITTAL. BECAUSE THE TIME BETWEEN GOVERNMENT EVALUATION, CONTRACT AWARD AND CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE WILL BE A VERY SHORT WINDOW, ESTIMATED AT 2 WEEKS OR LESS, THE GOVERNMENT HAS LITTLE-TO-NO FLEXIBILITY IN ALLOW ING A PERIOD OF TIME FOR SECRET CLEARANCES TO BE PROCESSED AFTER AWARD. AS A TRADEOFF - THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT REQUIRE THAT THE OFFERORS PROPOSE SPECIFICALLY NAMED GUARDS AND THEIR CREDENTIALS THEREOF AS DEDICATED TO THE BRANDYWINE AIR FORCE FACILITY JOB SITE. THE SOLICITATION ONLY REQUIRES THAT THE OFFEROR PRESENT EVIDENCE OF HAVING (AT LEAST TWO) SUCH INDIVIDUALS ALREADY ON STAFF. THIS COVERS PART THE GOVERNMENT'S MINIMUM NEED WHILE ALLOWING OFFERORS TIME TO GET MORE QUALIFIED STAFF ON-BOARD, IF NECES SARY. 3. QUOTE SUBMISSION DATE REMAINS JANUARY 26, 2006.
