- Description
- Questions submitted: 1. As published on the web at Fed Bus Ops, there are two (2) documents, 1. the Combined Solicitation and 2. Amendment to Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. A review of these documents indicates that they are identical. What is the purpose of the amendment? The first amendment was submitted to show the change in the date and time for question deadlines and the change in time and date for the closing of the announcement. 2. CLIN 1001, 2001 and 3001 indicate "(OPTION)". We assume that you are referring to option years 1, 2 and 3, although that is not indicated in the item (CLIN). The Option year was indicated under each CLIN. 3. Paragraph (vi) indicates a requirement for pick up and delivery on an as needed basis, i.e. indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, however, a CLIN is not provided for these services. As this solicitation does not specify a specific number of pickups and deliveries per month, a CLIN should be provided for these services, as they cannot be included in the CLINs for the storage space. Although this number is on a solid number, over the last year the average 4 to 6 times per month. (see amendment two for the adding of this CLIN) 4. Likewise, since warehouse handling of the items into and out of the warehouse will be required, a CLIN should be provided for warehouse handling. Please refer to amendment two for the adding of this CLIN 5. The last sentence of paragraph (vi) states, "Palletized storage is not acceptable.", (emphasis added). Since palletized storage, the placing of the wrapped stored items into a closed container, provides much superior protection than does just sitting the items out on a concrete floor, we do not understand this prohibition. The palletization of household goods (furniture) and office furniture is a standard within the industry. Please explain why this is not acceptable. The equipment is not your standard office desks and chairs, but rather different pieces that create a workstation. If items are palletized and a certain piece is needed, items would have to be unwrapped and unpellatized quite often. Each separate project requires any one of several hundred pieces to be put together to make a workspace. Storage on shelving is more feasible due to accessibility to equipment. 6. A review of the solicitation does not reveal a stated liability of the warehouseman. Do you intent to carry your own liability coverage for loss or damage or do you want coverage at one of the warehouseman's available coverage?s? The warehouseman can provide coverage at 60? per pound per article, $1.25 per pound per article, full value-depreciated or full replacement value. What is the warehouseman's liability? The liability will be provided by the vendor. The warehouse's liability will equal the cost of the equipment/furniture that is being stored. This determination is calculated by the Inventory System that will be in place for this equipment/storage.
