- Description
- Amendment 0001 with revised RFQ Amendment 0001 to request for quote CPSC-Q-14-0206 is hereby issued to include the following questions and answers: QUESTION 1: The statement of work contains the following: •4.5 During performance, if modifications to vehicles or other study elements require adjustment by CPSC, the resulting changes will be negotiated between the government and contractor by mutual agreement. Does this mean that the changes could be ones that required contractual/financial negotiations? That is, does Section 4.5 mean that additional funding could be negotiated after the contract is awarded if project requirements or tasks are modified or extended? ANSWER: Paragraph 4.5 will be deleted from the statement of work (SOW). Please see the revised SOW attached. QUESTION 2: We would like to propose several "Optional" items in our proposal. These optional items might include such things as measuring the bounce stiffness and roll stiffness of the vehicles in their as delivered and modified states. Is it okay for us to include optional items in our proposal? Answer: No, you may not include optional line items. Please submit a firm fixed price as noted in Volume 3: Price for the requirements in the SOW. QUESTION 3: We would like to propose an item of funding for "miscellaneous" purposes to provide a means to provide funding for vehicle modifications that would be beyond what we scope as baseline modifications. We would like to propose a baseline price for vehicle modifications, but if the actual CPSC-agreed-upon modifications cost more than what we have in the baseline pricing, we would like to have a mechanism in the contract to cover costs above the baseline price. Is this okay to include in our proposal? Answer: No, please submit a firm fixed price as noted in Volume 3: Price for the requirements in the SOW. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) intends to procure measurement and testing investigations into modifications that can be made to all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and how those modifications affect vehicle stability.
