- Description
- The purpose of Amendment 01 is to answer submitted vendor questions: Q: The Equipment Maintenance Areas identifies 4 areas located in Panhandle Texas and Southern New Mexico but the PWS identifies Kansas and Oklahoma as well. Will the Government provide clarification as to where the equipment is located? A: In accordance with paragraph 2.1 in the PWS, the specified equipment in Attachment 1 (total of eight tabs) can be located at any given BLM field office as the equipment is shared between offices. However, the majority of the equipment will reside at its assigned office location in accordance Attachment 1 within the tabs they are identified under Q: Since the Draft PWS indicates Scheduled routine diagnostic, maintenance, and/or repair services can take place at the Contractors facility Does the contractor have to have a facility, and in which state should it be if one is required? A: The Contractor is not required to have a separate facility(s), but may choose to have one or more if this will better enable the Contractor to meet the contract requirements and this is cost effective. Please state in your response what may be your approach, e.g. performing some or all of the services at either one or more contractor facilities or at one or more of the BLM's facilities in our four state region. Q: Attachment 1, Equipment Lists only indicates 18 assets but that spreadsheet does not indicate the location of those assets a. Is the list of 18 assets inclusive of the entire inventory to be covered by the program? b. Can you provide locations for those assets?

Tab 2: SOCORRO Socorro, NM; Tab 3: LC Las Cruces, NM; Tab 4: FAR Farmington, NM; Tab 5: TAOS Taos, NM; Tab 6: ROSWELL Roswell, NM; Tab 7: CARLSBAD Carlsbad, NM; Tab 8: TX Texas, Amarillo area including a small portion of Kansas (KS); OK Oklahoma, primarily the Moore and Tulsa Office locations.
