Vendor Questions
RFQ 47QSSC27Q0027 (Olsun 300 kVA Pad Mount
1. The RFQ lists a requested DARO of 8 days and provides a field in Section 2 for an extended lead time and reason. Will a quote stating an extended lead time be evaluated on the same basis as quotes meeting 8 days, and is there a latest acceptable delivery date? Should the stated lead time reflect delivery at destination, including factory testing and transit?
The 8 Day DARO is an office policy that does not work for all acquisitions. Please state your actual DARO and the reason for the extended lead time. DARO should be the date of delivery at destination after the order is placed.
2. Will the Government require submittal or approval drawings before the unit is released for manufacturing? If so, what review time should vendors plan for? Spec data sheets with drawings are acceptable. Standard approval for Government is 14 days, but we should be able to turn it around quickly.
3. Delivery location (pages 1 and 13): Page 1 lists shipment to Naval Base San Diego, CA 92136, while the amended requirements specify delivery to the East Miramar Marine Corps Base storage facility across from the East Miramar Fed Fire Building. Please confirm the delivery location, receiving hours, any base access requirements for the carrier, and that offloading equipment suitable for the unit's weight will be available on site.
The requirements information on the Amend RFQ "East Miramar Marine Corps Base storage facility across from the East Miramar Fed Fire Building" is the correct updated delivery destination. Additional details will not be available until after award. 4. Testing (page 13): The amended requirements state that factory test results will be required, while the original RFQ and the brand name justification referenced certified testing post shipping. Please confirm that standard IEEE/ANSI factory production test reports provided with the unit satisfy the requirement, and that no witness testing, field testing, installation, or startup services are required. IEEE/ANSI factory production test reports is what will be required. The Customer is unsure of the timeline for installation so post-installation testing will not be required. 5. Primary configuration (page 13): The amended requirements describe a "Radial Feed-through Design with 6 x 200A Bushing Wells," while the original RFQ and the brand name justification list radial feed with three 200A bushing wells.
