As of 3/1/17 the Proposal dute date is extended from 3/6/17 to 3/17/17 at noon Eastern Standard Time. Appendices and the Batch Control Slip were added into Section J. (See Attached Solicitation). Also, the following questions are being answered: LCLSP17R0006 - Microfilm Inventory Amendment 1 - Response to Questions 1. How many inventory workstations with PCs are available to the Contractor? Response- Currently 3. Can be increased or decreased as necessary. 2. C.3.6. The 30 steps to process the microfilm through the inventory workflow are discussed in written form, but qualified/experienced vendors will need to see the process/materials or to be provided with historical throughput in order to determine the level of effort required. LOC projects/RFPs traditionally host a vendor site tour or pre-bid meeting to view/examine materials and any system applications that the vendor is to use so vendors can physically see the actual work products. Will the Library allow individual contractor visits to examine the work areas, proximity to the vault and to visually review the work products and ILS Voyager data input application in order to arrive at realistic level of effort estimates? Response- No, the Library will not allow site visits. Vendors must develop Firm Fixed Price pricing based upon the Solicitation and Amendment 3. C.4.1. Weekly Reports (historical data). What is the average number of microfilm boxes (reels) completed on a weekly basis? Response- It solely depends on the funding available for each Fiscal Year 4.
