A7: We expect to release a formal solicitation in July or August. Q8: Armored vehicles in Jordan are only government owned and not available for rental. A8: To our knowledge, Up Armored vehicles are allowed in Jordan. If we find out otherwise, we will update prior to the release of the solicitation. Q9: Please define New Condition of vehicles in terms of the permissible age of the vehicles in number of years. A9: Per PWS paragraph 7.0, "Although the Contractor may replace the vehicle at any time with another vehicle meeting all contractual requirements for that CLIN, the Contractor shall replace vehicles if the mileage surpasses 100,000 kilometers, the vehicle model year is 5 years older than the calendar year, or the vehicle has been returned to the Contractor three times to resolve the same or a related maintenance complaint within a six month period, provided the complaint is not based on normal scheduled maintenance issues or normal wear and tear." Q10: Please define "Force protection Features". A10: Per PWS paragraph 6.4, "CLINs specifying FP package shall have: a.) Headlight flasher positive switch system repeater with multi-pattern feature. b.) Tinted windows - Rear cargo and rear side windows shall be tinted to the maximum extent legal, per host nation laws. c.) Radio mount - Capable of securing TS-5000R - Brick model radio system or equivalent. d.) Safe mount - Dimensions measuring 4 ½' H x 9"W x 14"L. e.) Strobe / Emergency Lights - Attached inside the grille area. Q11: What are the exact quantities per vehicle type per country? This is important to know because each country has its own laws with regards to import duties, registration, vehicle insurance, and other country specific requirements which affects pricing. A11: Exact quantities will be unknown and can be subject to fluctuation. Estimated quantities will be provided upon solicitation release. Q12: Some countries impound or seize a vehicle if involved in a crime or auto accident. Would CENTCOM consider the vehicle as 'destroyed' and compensate the lease company if a vehicle were permanently seized by a host country through no fault of the leasing company? In the event of a vehicle being seized/impounded for several months due to a law violation, again through no fault of the leasing company, would CENTCOM continue the lease payments? A12: If a vehicle is permanently seized at the United States Government's fault, the contractor will be compensated for actual damages incurred. The contractor shall be responsible for providing a replacement vehicle in this circumstance if lease payments are to continue. Q13: Recommend Armor Vehicle Leases be one year term. A13: Up Armored NTV leases will be of period no shorter than one year due to the complexities in obtaining such vehicles. Q14: Will there be a reimbursable fuel line added to each contract task order to ensure contractor is reimbursed when vehicles are returned with less than ½ tank of fuel? A14: If a contractor is bringing back a vehicle with more than half a tank of fuel and it is being picked up with less than half a tank of fuel, the contractor and COR or Government representative shall document the disparity and invoice the Government for damages incurred. The Government will not pay for fuel beyond ½ a tank. Q15: Recommend adding language to create a differential for the off road package. Proper regional off road kits include suspension lift increase, bull bar, differential locks, recovery kit. A15: Will check with customers in regards to how modified they need vehicles for off-road use. Further information will be in the formal solicitation. Q16: Recommend adding specific language on negligence and damage to off road vehicles as the contractor or government need to be clear on who is responsible for damages and under which circumstances. A16: PWS paragraph 9.1, Insurance Policies discusses the details of what needs to be covered by the contractor. Q17: In regards to insurance policies, recommend additional time to complete this requirement and or specify the countries in which the translation will be required. A17: Insurance policy will be required upon award of any call order in a specific country. Policy will not be required prior to a contractor receiving a call order in a specific country. Q18: Will contractor bill once per month for the contract or per task or call order? A18: Invoices shall be completed at the call order level. Q19: Recommend removing SSangyong Rexton, Mazda CX9, Ford Edge from Mid-Size SUV due to class size confusion. These vehicles are not same category as others listed. A19: Those vehicles, along with the Kia Sorrento, will be removed as they do not fit the category. Q20: The US Government's definition of Fair Wear & Tear includes tires, Scratches and Dings. However, it must be noted that in our experience on an NTV contract, vehicles have come for service with damaged tires and rims (not flat tires) as a result of the vehicle that has hit a curb, or driving off a curb or from a certain elevation that could damage the tire and rim cannot be considered as fair wear and tear. Similarly, dents and scratches (in this case major abrasions/scrapes) on vehicles cannot be considered as normal wear and tear, as a Police report for such damage is mandatory in order to claim insurance and perform any denting and painting work on these damages. A20: Damaged rims are not fair wear and tear. Tires hitting a curb will be considered fair wear and tear and will need to be replaced at the contractor's expense. Whether a police report is required for scratches requiring paint (not dents) or not, these damages are to be expected and will be repaired at no additional cost to the Government. Q21: The US Government requires that all vehicles need to be equipped with above highlighted requirement at all times. However, we have noticed in situations where a tire has been damaged but, due to non-availability with the manufacturer, it can only be replaced by another brand/manufacturer matching in similar size, speed and load bearing standards. Please let us know if this is acceptable or would the contractor have to change all five tires to the new brand/manufacturer? A21: Make and model of tire do not need to match as long as the tire meets manufacturer's standards for speed and load bearing standards. All tires must be identical in size. Q23: After checking with the dealerships in the region, most have stated that a recall report can be provided every 60-90 days. Please let us know if this is acceptable by US Government? A23: The Government finds this acceptable and will update the PWS to state quarterly recall reports. Q24: (In reference to PWS paragraph 9.0) The above verbiage does not state the following: The contractor shall accept for insurance purposes a police report from the country in which the vehicle is operating for any vehicular damage that occurs "off post". Please Clarify. A24: PWS will be updated to state off post. Q25: Is this opportunity open to all including Afghan Company's? A25: Yes. Q26: Is DBA Insurance an requirement? A26: Contractors will be responsible for ensuring all employee requirements are met. Q27: For locations such as Dubai which "do not" require Base Access, "will the government allow (or reimburse) the contractor to charge per diem"? A27: All BPAs will be firm fixed price. Per diem will need to be built into pricing. Q28: For Hazard and Hardship locations such as Afghanistan, "will the government compensate for Hazard 35% and Hardship 35% pay? A28: All employee pay needs to be built into firm fixed price CLIN prices.
