Prospective offerors are advised that the site visit will be held solely to allow offerors an opportunity to gain the best possible understanding of the working environment and specific work items to be addressed under contract in order that they may prepare an accurate and complete price quote. All prospective offerors are advised that at the conclusion of the site visit, unless this solicitation is amended in writing, it will remain unchanged and, that if an Amendment is issued, normal procedures relating to the acknowledgment and receipt of any such amendment shall be applicable. Quoters are strongly encouraged to attend, as failure to attend does not relieve the quoter of accuracy of their proposal and the quoter's responsibility that it has investigated and satisfied itself as to the general and local conditions which can affect the work or its cost. The complete solicitation package with the Statement of work will be posted on or about December 06, 2020. The drawings referenced in the Statement of Work can be provided to interested contractors upon written request to the Contracting Officer.
