Reservations are required and must be provided to the contracting officer by COB Thursday, 05 Feb 98. An itinerary and map of the meeting location will be faxed when each reservation is confirmed. The Industry Day will be utilized to address any questions concerning the subject A-76 Study as well as the following subjects: Request for Information -- Tinker AFB is interested in industry comments regarding the following subjects: 1) Length of Contract -- The government is considering several alternatives for the length of contract. One of the prevailing alternatives is a 90-day orientation, one-year basic period and four one-year options. However, it may be possible to increase the number of options available. We are seeking industry comment on preferred length of contract. 2) Government Furnished Property/Equipment (GFP/GFE) -- It has been determined in the PWS that approximately 10M dollars worth of GFP/GFE can be turned over to the contractor if services go contract. Industry comments are solicited as to whether contractors would prefer government furnished property or to furnish their own tools and equipment. 3) Award Fee -- It is anticipated that some form of award fee will be included in any resultant contract. We are considering two different alternatives, or possibly a combination of the two. The first alternative is strictly the use of a monetary award fee to be available for each contract period. The second alternative is an "Award Term" award fee. This means that if the contractor successfully meets award fee criteria, additional option periods could be awarded to increase the overall length of the contract. Industry comment is requested regarding the proposed approaches and suggested amounts for each alternative as well as any other proposed approaches one might consider. 4) Transition Workforce -- If award goes contract, it is anticipated that the government will maintain a small transition workforce for approximately one to three months after contract start date to ensure a smooth transition from a government to contract workforce. Request industry comments regarding your preference on the number of people and length of time required. 5) Service Contract Act versus Davis-Bacon Rates -- Technial Exhibit 2B paragraph 7.1 identifies the number of work orders not expected to exceed 50 man-hours and paragraph 7.2 identifies the number of work orders expected to exceed 50 man-hours. These work orders are for alteration of real property and could require employees covered either by the Service Contract Act or the Davis Bacon Act. For purposes of the upcoming solicitation, the government intends to use the work orders projected in paragraph 7.1 to represent those requiring Service Contract Act rate employees and paragraph 7.2 projections will represent those requiring Davis-Bacon rate employees. Request industry comments on the intended approach as well as any other ideas the contractors might have regarding this subject. See Note 26. No telephone requests. Only written or faxed requests received directly from the requestor are acceptable. All responsible sources solicited may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered. (0029)
