- Description
- Updated QPS Enclosure 3 Amendment 5 3/30/2016 Amendment issued to address the following question: The following question has been asked concerning the milestone payment: Question: Enclosure 3 Quotation Pricing Sheet ("QPS"): The QPS details out 3 milestone payments. In the description of Year 2 and Year 3 Milestone Payments, the QPS references reporting requirements around maintenance, diagnostic and performance as the deliverables in 2017 and 2018. However, the requested "Cluster Price" and the "Optional Compute Node" pricing appear to be one price that is all-inclusive of the solution (including the required maintenance). What do the year 2 and year 3 milestone payments directly correlate to, and how should the responses break out the pricing between the 3 milestones? Answer: In the Enclosure 3 Quotation Pricing Sheet ("QPS") there is a section where we ask the offerors to provide the total cost of the cluster system. Additionally we stipulate the milestone payments required for the cluster system only. Essentially One Third year one, One Third year two, One Third year three. Please reference attached updated pricing sheet. Milestone Payments: Year 1 One Third Delivery, Installation and final acceptance test, accepted by BSA at BNL as in accordance with the SOW. Year 2 One Third Receipt and acceptance of report to include but not limited to maintenance, diagnostic and performance Reports shall be received on or before April 1, 2017. Year 3 One Third Receipt and acceptance of report to include but not limited to maintenance, diagnostic and performance Reports shall be received on or before April 1, 2018. We also have requested pricing for the Optional Compute Nodes, which should be quoted independently of the total cost of the cluster system. Amendment 4 3/29/2016 Amendment issued to address the following question: Question: Can the cluster management Switch and the out-of-band switch be combined into one switch using a VLAN to segment them? This would reduce the number of switches per rack and reduce cost? Answer: Yes, both switches can be physically combined, segmentation via VLANs is acceptable. Amendment 3 3/24/2016 Amendment issued to extend the solciation date to 4/15/2016 and to address additional questions and provide a layout diagram for the system. Please reference new attchments. Amendment 2 3/18/2016 Amendment issued to address the following question: Question: If a BNL Quality Assurance Requirement does not apply, can we the Offeror incoporate our own quality Document in lieu of your plan? Answer: No, if a QA requirement doesn't peratin to your product then only those that apply would be required. Amendment 1 3/18/2016 Amendment issued to remove "Draft " water mark from the RFQ document. Additionally to address the following questions: Question: Will BNL accept a Supermicro configuration? Answer: No Question: Is it acceptable if the Offeror responds directly to this solciation or does BSA prefer this solicitation goes through a small business? Answer: That is up to the discretion of the Offeror, keeping in mind that the SOW and qualifying criteria needs to be met. ********************************************************************* Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (herein known as "BSA"), operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) under a Prime Contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) herewith solicits your quotation for the purchase, install, configure and support of a high performance linux cluster with an option to purchase additional compute nodes.
