Incumbent, if submitting a quote, may provide a quote for currently installed vendor-owned equipment prorated for current usage, or may provide a quote for replacement of existing equipment. The cost of equipment shall not be evaluated to determine the successful offeror. Once installed, awardee warrants that equipment shall be maintained, repaired, and/or replaced as needed by the awardee during the period of this agreement at no additional cost to the government. Equipment replaced during the period of this agreement becomes the property of the government.

7. Facilities and equipment to be treated may be added to, changed, or removed from Exhibit A (attached) at any time during the term of this agreement to accommodate changing requirements on Fort Leavenworth.
8. Submitted quotes will be evaluated using the lowest price, technically acceptable method on the basis of the price of chemicals required for annual treatment of equipment currently listed in Exhibit A to maintain the Quality Assurance Specifications prescribed in UFGS 3.5.5 Quality Assurance Testing (see Attachment 1). Closed loop systems should be considered treated and require maintenance treatment only. Cooling towers contain approximately 8,000 as indicated in Exhibit A (attached). Acceptable quotes should indicate price per volume or weight of each chemical and estimated quantity required for each period of performance to provide appropriate treatment of 8,000 gallons under normal operating conditions.
