AMENDMENT THREE (3)



June 3, 2016



TO:



SUBJECT: RFP-010-2016 (P) Procurement and Installation of

Tsunami Warning Sirens, U.S. Virgin Islands.



INSERT: Questions & Answers



1. Section IJ. Purpose, of the Scope of Work Summary) states, “This scope includes

procurement, installation, and maintenance of new sirens.” Can you clarify that the

“maintenance” proposal is limited to maintaining ONLY the new sirens included in this

scope of work, OR should the maintenance proposal be for the entire system? I believe

that this has been an area of confusion in the past.



Answer: Maintenance proposal should only cover the 16 new sirens to be installed under this

scope of work.



2. Section II. Purpose Subsection “b. Installation Sites”. This section indicates the quantity

of sirens to be installed by area. Have the specific installation locations already been

selected, or will the successful bidder be required to perform site selection with upon

contract award?



Answer; Some specific installation locations have already been determined. VITEMA will continue

the process of determining locations for the new sirens with the intent of having the process

completed by the time the contract is awarded.



3. Section II. Purpose Subsection “c. Vendor Requirements”



a. Item “4. Training for local users on system”. Can the RFP limit the amount of

training? Often there are multiple locations and possibly multiple shifts that

need to be supported. Can more details be provided, or should we assume one

training session for up to 10 people?

Answer: The selected vendor will need to conduct two training sessions on St. Thomas and two

training sessions on St. Croix. It is anticipated that one training session would be conducted in



the morning and one in the afternoon for each location. The training would be for approximately

25 people for each location split between the two sessions.



b. Item “6. Two year service contract”. Is this for the full system, or only for the



sirens installed under the scope of this RFP?



Answer: The two year service contract would only cover the 16 new sirens being installed.



All other terms and conditions remain the same.
