MetCal Data Management System

*** 19 June 2014 *** There were some questions asked about the Statment of Requirements. Below are the questions as well as the responses provided by the country manager. Also the due date for responses has been extended by three weeks to 15 July 2014, 2 pm EDT. Question: Will AFMETCAL be revising the SOR to reflect currently available products or can we propose currently available products irrespective of SOR? Response: Re-assessing the SOR to take into account changes in current products is likely to result in further delays. If it is possible to use the existing SOR and substitute current products for obsolete, or soon-to-be obsolete items, then this would seem to be the best way forward. Question: SOR section 5.1 says "MET/Support Gold62 (Renewable Annually)" while section 5.3.10 says to provide post delivery support for period of 60 months commencing from the date of passing Test Acceptance. Does AFMETCAL want software support quoted on an annual renewal basis or quoted for single 60-month price? Additionally, due to USA accounting rules, support services have to be in a separate CLIN, and the software support pricing cannot be included into hardware/software price. Please add a separate CLIN 0004 to Schedule B, for software support pricing. Response: If we can, we would like the 60 month price quoted. There is no easy mechanism for annual renewal and it's likely to be problematic. *** 26 June 2014 *** This message is to edit a response that was provided to clarification questions dated 19 June 2014. The following question and response is edited to remove the statement that "BD Magic is no longer sold." This was an incorrect statement. BC Magic or Barcode Magician is not a discontinued product and is still an item available for purchase. Question: SOR section 5.1, how many Barcode Scanning Software Licenses do you need (i.e. 80 or 62)? Response: If barcode functionality is built into MET/TEAM then this is no longer needed. Question: SOR section 5.2 says 28 units of Model 5000-RH/T Precision Humidity Temp Data Logger w/Cable, Software and Cal Certificate. Model 5000-RH/T Precision Humidity Temp Data Logger is no longer available. AFMETCAL's Purchase Description 13-0001-FMS Rev 1 dated 4 Oct 2012 had below configuration. Is AFMETCAL interested in the following items and quantity in lieu of Model 5000-RH/T? Item Quantity 1620A-S-156 Dewk Thermo-hygrometer 16 1622-H-156 USB Wireless High-accuracy Kit 10 2627-H High Accuracy Thermo-hygrometer Spare Sensor Kit 1 2627-S Standard AccuracyThermo-hygrometer Spare Sensor Kit 1 Response: If these items provide the same functionality as the obsolete items then we would prefer the current items. Question: Please provide the installation address for the system? Response: There are six bases which would need to have workstations, the server is likely to be installed at KAAB Dhahran, or RSAF Headquarters in Riyadh. Question: Please provide address for the Basic and Advanced Met/Cal Training in CLIN 0002 and 0003. Response: Training would probably be held at KAAB Dhahran.
