J--Sol Amendment #1 Miami HVAC Repair/Replacementview on SAM.gov

Continued... Continuation page from block 14. The purpose of this amendment is to respond to the questions received for Solicitation No. 1333MF26Q0109. Combined Synopsis Solicitation: 1333MF26Q0109 Response to Questions: Q1 - Could you please confirm whether bid, performance, and payment bonds are required for this solicitation? A1 - The winning vendor must be licensed and bonded in the state the work is to be performed. The attached wage determination is for services not construction as we are considering this work to be repairs and maintenance not construction. Q2 - Could you please clarify whether we may use a subcontractor that is licensed and bonded in the State of Florida to satisfy this requirement, or whether the licensing and bonding requirements must be held by the prime contractor?¿ A2 - The government has no privity with a subcontractor therefore all requirements fall upon the primary contractor.

If so, can NOAA provide the applicable valve sizes, types, and quantities? A6 - The government does not have documentation of the valve sizes, types, or quantities for these assemblies, and no as-built or submittal data is available. The scope of Task 8 is limited to inspection at the three locations identified and replacement of only those assemblies found leaking or non-operational. For pricing purposes, offerors shall assume one strainer/check valve assembly at each of the three locations, serving fan-coil equipment. Offerors should state any pricing assumptions in their quotation. Any condition materially different from the above will be addressed by the Contracting Officer. Q7 - Please confirm that offerors should provide one firm-fixed price for CLIN 0001 covering the complete 60-day requirement.
