W913FT27QA001 Questions

A. SITE SURVEY AND SCHEDULE

1. Access to the site is required to prepare an accurate quote. Can the Government facilitate a site survey (in person or, if necessary, virtual) with the installation's Communications POC, and when can it be scheduled? The survey would cover the nearest fiber connection point, building entry points, cable pathways, telecommunications rooms, and the 6th- and 7th-floor demarcation locations, subject to applicable security procedures. Please identify the coordinating POC and the earliest available date. Please also confirm that a technical representative of a local telecommunications carrier may accompany the offeror during the survey, and state what advance notice, personal information, and identification the Government requires for each attendee. Yes. A site visit will be held on Thursday October 29, 2026, at 0900 AM local time meeting at the Cemi Gate at Canton Norte. All vendors planning to attend will be required to send the following information to SFC Kari Bolettieri at [email protected] No later than 4:00pm local time on Wednesday, October 28, 2026: Number of people, Name, Cedula (if Colombian citizen) or passport/photo ID that they will use to enter the installation (if US or foreign citizen). If bringing a vehicle on base, we will need vehicle plate, color, type, and brand. 2. Government answers will be issued by amendment, and the current due date is 30 October 2026. Offerors need time to obtain carrier quotations, confirm fiber availability, assess construction and permitting needs, and build a credible schedule. Please confirm that the quote due date will be extended by amendment so that offerors have adequate time to prepare quotes after the site survey is completed and the answers to these questions are issued. No extension will be considered at this time.
3. Section F shows a delivery period for CLIN 0001 from 02 Nov to 23 Dec 2026 (51 days), while Section M caps the Service Start Date at 50 calendar days after award. Please confirm that: (a) the CLIN 0001 period in Section F is the installation period; (b) the 50 days run from the date of award; (c) the Service Start Date includes completion of acceptance testing and Government acceptance, and please state who schedules the Government's participation; (d) the Section F dates will be reset per the successful quote's Service Start Date, as Section L states; and (e) the 6-month base period begins the day after installation completes.
