First, the Government would like to advise all prospective contractors that there is no Government technical expert for this solicitation. As such, the Government will not be able to answer every technical question submitted by prospective contractors. If you have a question, please continue to submit those, however, note that the Government may be unable to answer them. It is understood that this may make it difficult to accurately quote this project. To mitigate this reality, a site visit has been scheduled (See details below).

Questions & Answers
As stated previously, not every technical question has been answered. However, attached is a Q&A Document with some answers to contractor questions.
PWS Change
Additionally, a couple of edits have been made to the PWS for this effort. Paragraph 1 of Section 3.3 is changed from…
“Before work begins, the Contractor shall protect all workspaces with plastic sheeting to prevent dust and debris contamination.”
To…
“Before work begins, the Contractor shall protect all workspaces in the immediate and surrounding work environment that would be affected or negatively impacted during the cleaning process, to include the SE wing if that area is disturbed during the process to prevent dust and debris contamination.”
Moreover, the verbiage below was added to section 8.
“The contractor shall prevent its personnel from entering any area other than the designated work area. The contractor must be escorted by a government official at all times within our facilities.”
The updated PWS is attached.
