N -- INSTALLATION AND MODIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR TWO CARGO TRAILERS SOL RFP-7241 DUE 091098 POC Karen Smith (202) 324-8808 This is a modification to combined synopsis/solicitation RFP-7241, a previously announced procurement action. This modification shall serve as Amendment #1 which incorporates the following six questions and answers from vendors into RFP-7241. Question 1 -- Is the 45 days ARO a fixed time? After speaking to some vendors, this would be a tough time to meet. Answer -- The 45 day time frame is fixed. The contract time frame will be modified if the manufacturer is out of stock on the mast and/or the low profile pan and tilt, or, if Government Furnished Equipment is unavailable. The contractor shall advise the contracting officer as soon as possible concerning the above, as well as give an estimated date of delivery. Question 2 -- Will this be a Time and Materials task? There are many unknowns at this time. A T&M effort would be better suited for the Government and Contractor. Answer -- No, this shall be a firm fixed-price contract. Question 3 -- Are any drawings available? The level of detail in the synopsis led me to believe that a great deal of thought went into this effort and some preliminary sketches should be available. Answer -- There are no drawings available. The government has synopsized their minimum mandatory requirements. It is the contractor's responsibility to meet these requirements in the most efficient and expeditious way possible. Question 4 -- Can you provide a list of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), with part numbers? Answer -- Generator is detailed in synopsis. Statpower, Model number Prosine 2.5 Sine Wave Inverter. Marinco Power Inlet -- Model 301EL-B. Transfer Relays -- Magnetec 30A -- Model ATS-30R. Question 5 -- What type of design reviews, if any, do you anticipate? Answer -- It is the contractor's decision on the design; however, the contractor shall meet the government's requirements as synopsized. As stated in the synopsis, the government does require a wiring diagram. Question 6 -- Is there a required location for the generator remote start unit and harness assemblies? Answer -- The required placement is above the wire trough between the inverter and the load center. Posted 08/28/98 (W-SN243257). (0240)
