- Description
- Amendment to Solicitation The purpose of this amendment is to: 1) Include Questions and Answers 2) Upload an updated solicitation document with a revised statement of work and instructions to offorers. Questions and Answers: 1.Do you have preferred dimensions? We work with a format that we like that is 8 ¼ x 9 ¾ inches, 210 x 250 mm that does not fit your parameters exactly (as it is ¼ inch wider than your listed maximum of 8 wide). Would this still work? Let me know you think of this and if you have and other preferred dimensions in mind. The range of acceptable trim sizes are defined in Section 2: Scope. 2.We usually print our books in China or the Far East. Do you anticipate any problems with this? We can also print in Europe but it may affect pricing. There are no restrictions on where the books are printed. 3.My understanding is that the closing date for our response to this solicitation is October 17th, 2018 by 10.00am Eastern; but please confirm. Solicitation closing time is October 17th, 2018 at 10am Eastern 4.Can you please confirm/clarify the total number of copies of the Work that we must quote for producing? In Part C. Section 2. Scope, the solicitation says the awardee must produce 250 hardcover and 3,000 paperback copies of the Work; but in Part C Section 4.1 Schedule, 4.11 the solicitation mentions that the awardee should deliver 125 hardcover and 1,000 softcover copies to the Jay I Kislak Foundation in Florida, and in 4.12 deliver a further 125 hardcover and 3,000 paperback copies of the Work to the Library of Congress' Landover facility. This makes a total of 250 hardcover and 4,000 softcover/paperback copies to produce and deliver. Please advise required quantity of copies of each edition that we should quote on. Total number of copies: 250 hardcover and 3,000 softcover. Statement of work has been updated. 5.Re. Section K - Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors or Respondents: I am slightly unclear as to exactly which paragraphs of this provision we should complete, as we have an active up-to-date entity registration in SAM until May 30, 2019. It looks like I should only complete paragraph (b), but do we also need to complete any additional paragraphs (c) through (u) that might be applicable for the purposes of completing this solicitation only? Section K does not need to be completed if there is a Registration in SAM. Please identify registration in proposal. 6.Since _X__ (46) 52.225-1, Buy American--Supplies (May 2014) (41 U.S.C. chapter 83) has been applied to the contract terms of this solicitation in Section I Contract Clauses on p. 12, and we are a foreign entity and will be producing the finished copies of the Work outside the United Sates. Can you please advise, or give examples of which Foreign End Products we should list in (f) (2) on p. 20, if any? No action is required for 52.225-1 compliance 7.Finally, as part of completing and submitting our proposal in the format outlined in Section L, should we also complete and submit information in the relevant blocks on pp. 1 and 2 of the solicitation (Standard Form 1449), as well as in the relevant/applicable parts of Section K? Please complete the relevant blocks on the 1449
