At this time, no PRE-SOLICITATION CONFERENCE is planned for this Solicitation. If the Government does elect to hold a Pre-Solicitation Conference, either the Pre-Solicitation Synopsis, or the resulting issued Solicitation, will be adjusted accordingly.

KNOWN PRICE SCHEDULE ALTERNATIVES: The resulting Solicitation will include the following known DECUCTIVE ALTERNATES: 0001 BASE BID ITEM. This will include the full scope of work for a single firm fixed price. 0002 DEDUCT-ALT-A.

This will include the adjusted scope of item 0002, with the Replacement of Doors Omitted, as a further price reduction. NOTE: The priority will be to award item 0001 for the full scope of work. If the availability of funds will not permit award of item 0001, award will be made based on Deductive-Alternates A or B, in that order of priority. If the Deduct-Alt Schedule is changed, prior to release of the Solicitation, then the Pre-Solicitation Synopsis will be modified accordingly. If the Deduct-Alt Schedule is changed, after the resulting Solicitation has been issued, then the Solicitation will be Amended accordingly.
