Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses a question received regarding repair costs exceeding $3,000.

• Question: If repair costs for parts exceed $3,000, will the additional cost be billed separately?
• Answer: If the cost of materials and parts exceeds $3,000.00, an invoice with the materials and parts estimate must be provided to the Contracting Officer (CO) for approval prior to proceeding. Once approved by the CO, a modification to add funds will be issued bilaterally to increase funds.

This amendment clarifies the process for handling repair costs exceeding $3,000, impacting potential invoicing and fund modification procedures.

• The submission due date remains the same.
• Contractors must acknowledge this amendment by submitting a signed copy of the Standard Form (SF)-30 along with their quote.

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items to troubleshoot and repair the brake system at the Shasta Dam Elevator. The Bureau of Reclamation intends to award a hybrid Firm Fixed Price (FFP), unpriced purchase order, and Time and Materials (T&M) contract.
