- Description
- Amendment 001- GSA's answers to contractors questions. Amendment 001- Please acknowledge this amendment at the time of proposal submittal. Amendment 001 Date: 09/06/2012 Just a quick reminder- that all communication (e-mails and phone calls) should be directed to the Contracting Specialist or the Contracting Officer only at this time. 1.1 Contractor question: – Please confirm the extent of survey activities for WA7858ZZ Port of Seattle Main Terminal. Although the area is listed as 3768 sq ft, the total building area is many times this size and contains multiple occupancies and hazards, complex geometry (not multiple similar floor plans), extensive life safety features, and occupant emergency planning spanning multiple organizations. Generally it is known that a minimally sized leased area will necessitate a full building survey in order to assess the risk posed by the larger space to the Federal tenant. However, in the case of this Main Terminal, a complete survey may be cost prohibitive. A similar concern for Bellingham International Airport but recognizing the much smaller size of this facility. Please advise the extent of the survey activities for these buildings. GSA Answer: The survey form includes specific information for the building in general that would require some investigation to the building construction, type of systems provided for fire and lifesafety and if there is any hazardous activities within the building. Since this an airport, the federal employees will be located throughout the facility in addition to the space that is assigned to them, so basic information needs to be included within the report. 1.2 Contractor question: ­­ – RFQ 3.2 Please clarify which projects are referred to when selecting Owner’s Representatives. Are these solely GSA fire and safety survey contracts, a selection of three buildings previously surveyed, or can these be any past fire protection engineering project experience? GSA Answer: Please use similar projects. FYI: If a project was done through this office (Region 10, Northwest Arctic Region) please send past performance form to the PM of the project. (NOTE: Because Chuck Koval is helping to evaluate the technical aspects of the proposals, past performance questionnaires cannot be sent to him.) 1.3 Contractor question: – Will the lease expiration date be provided prior to performing the survey? GSA Answer: Yes, the lease expiration date will be provided prior to performing the survey, and can be obtained by the GSA contact after award. 1.4 Contractor question: – Will the date of any previous survey and/or a copy of the previous survey be provided prior to performing the survey? GSA Answer: If previous surveys are available, copies will be provided to the contractor if they ask. 1.5 Contractor question: Is it necessary to obtain current water flow test data from a local utility? Is it necessary to arrange or conduct water flow tests? GSA Answer: Since these are leased facilities, copies of reports with the information from the building owner is all that is required. GSA is not requesting the contractor to conduct these tests. 1.6 Contractor question: Is it necessary to confirm the presence of or adequacy of any local fire department Pre-Fire plan. GSA Answer: Contractor will have to ask the question to the owner’s representative as to whether there is one. This will suffice. 1.7 Contractor question: –Is it necessary to test fire protection or life safety systems. GSA Answer: Testing of the fire and lifesafety systems for the lease spaces is not required. Asking the building owner’s representative for copies of the annual tests of the systems is sufficient. 1.7 Contractor question: - Please confirm this will be a single contract which will include all five building Groups, such that bidders are able to develop a cost structure to take advantage of the most favorable travel and expense options. GSA Answer: GSA reserves the right to award 5 different awards for this solicitation. Each of the building groups are situated within close proximity of each other in order to take advantage of the most effective pricing to limit expense. 1.8 Contractor question: Is the Contractor required to provide a quote for all five (5) groups of buildings? GSA Answer: No. The contractor is allowed to provide a quote on buildings that the contractor feel they can work on. 1.8 Contractor question: If the answer to #1 is Yes, can the Contractor condition his/her quote to a specific number of building groups? GSA Answer: N/A
