Attachment 2: Questions and Answers Amendment 2

Questions for Chiller

1. The combined synopsis lists the quote closing date with the year 2027 in one place. Please confirm quotes are due November 17, 2026 at 9:00 AM EST.

Answer: The quotes are due on November 17, 2026 at 9:00 AM EST. The changes have been made in the combined synopsis.

2. The cover table shows a January 1, 2027 start, while SOW sections 1.5 and 4.1 show January 7, 2027. Please confirm the base period start date.

Answer: The period of performance does start on January 7, 2027. The SOW is correct and I have made the changes in the combined synopsis.

3. The technical section asks for a signed statement of compliance with certifications "outlined within Attachments," and the rigging and weight-marking requirements cite "Attachment A." Only the combined synopsis is posted. Please post Attachment A and confirm whether any other certifications are required.

Answer: The requirements of “Attachement A” have been incorporated into section Requirements for Lifting of Equipment. When they rewrote the specification, they forgot to take out “Attachment A”.

4. Each system calls for one 60-ton (minimum) chiller. Would two smaller chillers (e.g., 2 x 30-ton) combined in one system be acceptable, or must each system be a single unit?

Answer: Due to space constraints, one 60-ton unit is required

5. FAR 52.219-14 is not listed. Please confirm the equipment may be supplied and serviced (including the 4-hour on-site response) by an equipment rental company acting as our subcontractor.

Answer: Yes, the equipment can be supplied and serviced by subcontractors.

6. Will the Government accept monthly invoices in advance, or only monthly in arrears through WAWF?

Answer: It will be billed only monthly and not before the work has been completed.

7.Delivery and setup window. How many days before the base period start date may the units be delivered, set up, and tested on site, and is there a required ready-for-use date? Answer: There is no time before the contract starts that any equipment can be delivered. To get the equipment ready for use is usually within a week once the equipment is on site. Contractor should be able to have the equipment on site at the beginning of the period of performance. 8.Base access for the rental partner's crew. Our rental partner's delivery, setup, and service crews will need DBIDS/NCACS access to Norfolk Naval Shipyard. What is the lead time and process for obtaining that access, and who sponsors the subcontractor's personnel?
