- The due date and time has passed for submission of questions regarding the subject solicitation. No further questions or clarifications can be entertained. Attached is a consolidated list of questions and answers regarding the fitness center procurement and walkthrough. Please remember the due date and time for proposals is May 9, 2006 at 3:00 p.m. EST. QUESTIONS FOR FITNESS CENTER Q. What is the size of the center (in terms of square footage)? A. The Fitness Center is 6,545 sq. ft. including the work-out area, fitness floor, lockers, storage, and office. Q. What is the capacity of the facility? A. Capacity currently stands at 112 Q. What is the eligible population for membership? A. Current eligible population is 2,000. This figure does not include potential contract personnel at approximately 500. Q. How many members do you currently have? A. Membership stands at 220. Q. What is the current utilization (members per day)? A. Current utilization stands at 55 – 65 per day. Q. How do you collect dues - is it through payroll deduction? Is the contractor responsible for the associated costs of EFT or payroll deduction? A. Dues are currently collected via a drop box located in the fitness center lobby and are payable by check. We are transitioning to a Web Based system as the primary vehicle for collection but will not have this in place until the fourth quarter (Q4) of this year. Q. Do you already have software for membership management? If so, what kind? A. The software is supplied by the current manager, Federal Occupational Health (FOH), a component of US Department of Health and Human Services. Q. Do you desire a formal personal training program (individually paid trainers versus individual programs provided by on-site full-time staff)? What is the current financial arrangement/agreement for this program? A. This has not been called out in the SOW and is not a current service offered. If your firm wishes to provide such service, please include it in your proposed firm fixed price solution. Q. The RFP requests a minimum of 5 group exercise classes per week. How many classes per week are currently offered? Do you desire a combination of on-site staff and part-time instructors teaching classes? A. There are currently 10 classes per week. TSA leaves it up to each vendor on how it wishes to staff for this firm fixed price procurement. Q. Will the government provide a computer, phone, e-mail, and Internet connectivity for the fitness center staff? A. We will provide a computer, phone, e-mail and connectivity in the fitness center office to personnel once they have successfully gone through the Security Background process. Q. Who incurs the cost for the background investigation of team members? A. The contractor incurs said cost(s). Q. Are towels supplied for the members to use or do they have to bring their own? A. Towels are not supplied. Q. At the moment, the government pays for TSA employees while contractors pay a price of $78.00 per quarter. But, in the future you would like the fitness center to be self-sustaining by using non-appropriated funds? A. The government does not pay for any membership dues; all members pay the quarterly fee of $78.00. Our goal is to be self-sustaining. Currently contractors are not allowed to use the facility due to FOH rules. Q. Have you given consideration to family membership for an additional price? There are pros and cons to this idea. A. Family membership is not an option due to the Security Access issues with our facility. Q. How does the person who is overall in charge of TSA feel about the fitness center? Does He/She use the center? Does He/She support it? A. We do not believe the Administrator of TSA uses the facility for whatever reason he has. Management supports providing the facility. Q. Are TSA employee and contractors given time during work to use the fitness center? If so, how much and, i NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (05-MAY-2006); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
