If offers are received after that time, they will be late and will not be considered. b. Read the entire synopsitation document. It is very specific. c. Call attention to - the first and last paragraphs of the "INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS" within the Synopsitation. Read the requirements carefully. QUESTIONS/ANSWERS (Q&As): Q: What is the distance (rise) from the bottom floor to the top floor? A: 24 FT Q: What is the capacity? A: 4000 Q: Is the equipment room on the bottom floor and close to the shaft? A: Yes, it is on the bottom floor and close to the shaft. Q: Is the bottom floor easily accessed from the outside of the building? Will it be easy to get our equipment to the elevator at the bottom floor? A: Yes. Yes Q: Is this a plunger lift? A: No, it use to be a plunger lift but it is now a capital elevator. Q: Is there a bid estimate available for the work? A: No. Q: The synositation states that this is a small business set-aside what happens when you get a large business offer? A: Large businesses can submit their bids/quotes but once we determine that they are not a certified small business, we will discard their bid/quote as unacceptable. Q: Being that this is a small business set-aside, will "women-owned", "HUBZone", etc., take preference over a small business? A: All quotes/bids will be viewed as small-business only since that is what we determined the set-aside to be. No preferential treatment will be given to vendors that have other than small business classifications. Q: This is a high security Bldg, will vendors have access to it? A: Yes, vendors will have access but we ask for a 24 hour notification prior to work so that we can prepare the customer for the visit (i.e.: escort service) Q: Is an escort required? A: Yes, at all times. If two vendors are present, two escorts will accompany them, especially when the two vendors will need to be in separate locations. Q: Who is responsible for the phone lines and smoke detectors? A: The Government is. Q: Will vendors be following the 2005 year code? A: Yes. Q: Who came up with the specifications for this job? A: An independent inspector and the current base elevator contractor. Q: Will we accept bids from vendors that DO NOT perform elevator work? A: If the vendor's classification codes (i.e.: NAICS, SIC, PCS and/or FSC) are not elevator trade related and they are not technically capable of performing the work, they are not considered. For this reason, we are again asking that vendor's provide their CAGE Code on their quote package prior to submittal. Q: When do we (the Government) expect work to begin? A: Anywhere from two to ten days after contract award. Q: What is the Government's expected completion date? A: Completion date is expected around mid December. // SIGNED // Deanna E.
