The purpose of the site visit is to allow Offerors to see the site and to Offeror make notes of questions for submission to the Contracting Officer at a later date. Prospective Offerors are highly encouraged to attend the site visit. Remarks and explanations provided by Government representatives during the site visit shall not change the terms of the RFP. Any change to the RFP terms will be conveyed through an amendment to the RFP. Failure to attend the site visit will not disqualify the Offeror; however, the Offeror acts at its own risk and will not be relieved from complying with the terms and conditions of any resultant contract by reason of such failure. In no event will a failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after award of a contract. Offerors are limited to two (2) attendees per firm due to room space limitations. Offerors must notify the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist, by electronic mail no later than 2:00 PM CST on 26 January 2023, if attending the site visit. Include in the Subject Line: “W5168W23R0002, Site Visit.” Notification shall include full name, company, email address and phone number. If no response is received, the conference may be cancelled. No other pre-proposal conference will be scheduled. Attendance is at the expense of the Offerors. The Government cannot guarantee access to Dugway Proving Ground at any other time. Attendees must arrive on time to be included in the site visit. The visit will start promptly at 9:00 AM MST and anyone arriving after that time will be denied admission. Be advised that Dugway Proving Ground is a limited access installation, and people entering its gates are subject to entrance requirements and possible search. To gain access to DPG, attendees must complete the DPG Visit Access Form (Attachment 2), then email it to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist no later than 2:00 PM CST, 26 January 2023. Attendees must arrange their travel to accommodate for these procedures. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to gain access to the Government installation. All DPG visitors who do not possess a military identification card or Common Access Card (commonly called a CAC card and issued to government employees and authorized contractors) must undergo a computer background check of individual records through the National Crime Information Center prior to gaining entry to the proving ground. These checks are conducted inside DPG's Visitor Control Center located at the main gate and normally take no longer than 15 minutes. All visitors must also possess: 1) Driver's license; 2) Vehicle registration; 3) Proof of insurance. Since these background checks require U.S. or Canadian identification, they cannot be conducted on visitors who are not U.S. or Canadian citizens. This means that unescorted access to Dugway Proving Ground for these individuals will no longer be granted. Other foreign nationals may only obtain access to the proving ground by being always escorted by an authorized official. The Visitor Control Center is open for visitor background checks and credentialing Monday through Thursday 7:00 AM to 17:30. All attendees shall use the main gate to access the facility. Comments and/or questions are prohibited to be asked during the site visit. Offerors shall submit all comments and/or questions in writing to be answered later. This will ensure all Offerors have the same opportunity to receive a correct and accurate answer. This also removes any risk of an incorrect answer being provided verbally without first verifying its accuracy. All comments and/or questions must be submitted via a SINGLE email per Offeror, preferably in a Microsoft Word document attached to the e-mail. Submit to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist no later than 2:00 PM CST on Tuesday, 9 February 2023. At the site visit, there will be no cameras, audio recordings, or videotaping or other recordings allowed, except that done by the Government.
