Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document contains questions and answers related to the SEDS CB RFP, providing clarifications on various aspects of the solicitation.

• Badging Costs: Site lead badging costs are generally a non-reimbursable business expense. Time and travel for badging may be evaluated as a supplemental request at the Task Order (TO) level.
• Equipment Decommissioning: An OEM or certified technician is not required for decommissioning Condition Code X equipment, though may be needed for EDS networking support.
• Insurance Costs: Additional insurance rates for higher coverages (e.g., for badging or rigging) are generally considered business expenses and not reimbursable.
• Submission Format: Microsoft Word is required for Volumes I and II, and Microsoft Excel for the price proposal. Hardcopy submissions are not required.
• Shipping Notice: Shipping notice refers to the time the government provides to the offeror until the date of delivery.
• Rigging Labor: Fixed Unit Pricing (FUP) for rigging does not include sites requiring union rigging labor; third-party pricing will be submitted for approval.

• UPS Installation: UPS recapitalizations are for when UPS units are shipped and installed separately, not as part of an EDS installation. Both installation and rigging fields should be priced accordingly.
• Task Order PMs: Individual Task Order Project Managers (TOPMs) are to be bid at the individual Task Order level, while overarching program management support is included in the PM Task Order.
• Representations & Certifications: Acknowledgement of updated SAM.gov representations and certifications is accepted in lieu of offerors providing them separately.
