- Description
- New Courier Service Questions 1. Q. Time Table 1: CLIN 0001, 1001, and 2001 Daily Service: To reduce the number of trips (assuming the transported material will only be worked on during the normal business day) instead of delivery back to Ft. Meade at 6:00 PM is it acceptable to deliver the material in the morning prior to picking up that day?s material by securely storing the van overnight? A. No 2. Item #4 Product Description, paragraph #3: ?OPM may seek an equable adjustment for reduction in material.? What formula will be used to determine this adjustment? A concern is that we would be committed to providing a specific type of vehicle based on current volumes and if these volumes are significantly reduced our vehicle and associated costs will remain the same. A. At this point, OPM cannot predict the changes in technology that may cause volume reduction. 3. Q. Item #5 Security of OPM Documents, Correspondence and Material: If one cleared driver must be in the vehicle at all times while transporting material, does this mean that a minimum of two drivers are required for each trip to accommodate lunch and personal relief stops? Alternatively, is there an acceptable distance of the vehicle within which the driver must remain while not physically in the vehicle? A. Two drivers would be an option but OPM would consider any proposal in which the material would be secured/safeguarded with only one driver. B. Please reference question # 12 for distance acceptability. 4. Q. Amendment 1: Is there an error in language that requests questions be submitted by 1:00 PM on Monday, May 14, yet the following paragraph states that requests for copies of the pricing and timetables should be submitted no later than than May 17th? A. NO, Questions were due Monday May 14, 2007 by 1 PM and the May 17, 2007 by 11 AM date for the Attachments that would allow for a sufficient time for offerors to produce adequate proposals. 5. Q. Item #15 Background Investigations: Due to the lengthy process of an OPM security investigation, what provisions are available to obtain a temporary security clearance for non-cleared drivers? A. Interim access - The Government reserves the right to grant interim access to allow the Contractor to begin work on this contract. Access may be granted only after the following conditions have been met: To be eligible for interim access the applicant must receive a favorable adjudication of the SF 86, SII, FBI fingerprint and the credit report. If the OPM Adjudications Officer receives information that could result in an unfavorable evaluation at any time during the investigation, the Contracting Officer or designated representative may retract the temporary exception and withdraw access pending resolution of the issue. OPM will attempt to process the access requests in a timely manner, but cannot guarantee the timeliness of the process. The awarded contractor will be required to obtain the needed facility access at each location under this contract. 6. Q. Item #18: What is the format for the monthly reports? A. Monthly reports will be submitted in word document format that can be easily readable, that includes required information from solicitation. 7. Q. If possible, please identify the facility that is located within 2 miles of Ft. Meade that may require courier service at a future date. A. OPM is unable to identify the facility at this time. OPM would negotiate a new CLIN, if and when, it is determined the additional route will be needed. OPM?s customer has requested this additional route; however, OPM has not agreed to provide this service at this time. 8. Q. Is this RFP a small business set aside? A. NO, this is a Full and Open Competition. 9. Q. The solicitation states, ?ABSOLUTELY AT NO TIME AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE CONTRACTOR LEAVE OPM MATERIAL UNATTENDED WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION. At all times th NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (16-MAY-2007); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
