- Description
- Additional answers to questions received for RFP 0264489B: 1. Does the FBI have a proposed start date in mind for the initiation of the project? Immediately after award or a reasonable period of time thereafter, not to exceed 30 days. 2. Is there a particular end date for the final product that the FBI is attempting to meet? Six months from the award of the contract, to be extended at the government's convenience if needed, on the basis of unforeseen delays or good cause shown, but without an expanded scope of work. 3. The statement of work references "different types of ammunition," including explosives. Are there particular types of ammunition and explosives the FBI uses for training purposes at the indoor and outdoor range facilities that it would like the vendor to focus on? It is not necessary for the contractor to know the different types of ammunition the FBI has used, currently uses, or may use in the future. The FBI is interested in learning whether the law treats different kinds of ammunition differently and, if so, what those differences are. 4. Is the vendor expected to revierw all significant federal, US territory, state and local environmental and safety and health laws, regulations, and policies relevant to the operation or use by non-owners of firearms training facilities? Yes 5.What type of "additional guidance and direction from the Office of Integrity and Complicance personnel, the Office of General Counsel, and other relevant subject matter experts" does the FBI anticipate providing to the vendor? The guidance and direction will simply serve to aid the contractor to focus on its effort and to answer questions which arise. 6. How much time will the vendor have to prepare the Project Plan once the solicitation is awarded? A reasonable period of time, not to exceed 30 days. 7. The FBI indicates that a partner shall fill the role of the Contract Manager. Will the FBI also require a partner to fill the role of back-up Contract Manager, or may the firm identify a non-partner to fill that role (e.g. Of Counsel)? As long as a partner has ultimate responsibility for the contract, s/he may delegate to others to assist. 8. Where discrepancies are noted between the RFP Statement of Work and the electronic combined synopsis/solicitation, which document should the vendor respond to (e.g. the electronic combined synopsis/solicitation requests "resumes and references for all professional personnel" but this requirement was stricken from the RFP Scope of work via redline? Reference the Statement of work 2.5 Contract Personnel Requirements and Evaluation Factors-Factor T-1 and Past Performance Factors P-1 and P-2 located in the Description of the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. 9. We have a question regarding task description (6)(g) in section 3.2-"Outside the firing range context, have courts found other bases for liability arising out of violations of environmental of safety and health laws attributable to a mere user of a facility? If so, what factors did the courts consider compelling in such determinations? Please provide additional information as to the scope of research that is expected on this issue. As stated, the question would require the contractor to evaluate liability in literally hundreds of contexts. The FBI is interested in cases with reasonably analogous factual settings in which a user was found liable. It will be the contractor's responsibility to determine which factual contexts are relevant. The FBI is interested in case law that has precedential value or is otherwise noteworthy. 10. With regard to task description (4)(h), please describe what is the concern with regard to "dust control, protective clothing, and safe work practices" The earlier identified personnel protection concern is inhalation of lead. Is this task (4)(h) to address exposures and work practices that are unrelated to lead? If so, please identify the specific exposures of concerns. The FBI would like the contractor to identify potential risks to health commonly associated with the operation or use of a firearms training facility. 11. With regard to the state Deliverables-General Requirements in the solicitation synopsis for "hard and electronic copies using Microsoft Word in Arial 12 point font (in an) editable (non-PDF or read-only) format," do the requested deliverables requirements apply to the proposal due September 18 as well? No.
