The "19844 BLUERIDGE MOUNTAIN RD" address is the Mount Weather FEMA Complex
One of the more interesting points is the part that reads "THIS ATM BACKBONE
TRUNK IS IN DIRECT SUPPORT OF THE DOD WAR FIGHTER AND INTEL COMMUNITY CUSTOMERS
THAT CANNOT TOLERATE SUBSTANDARD SERVICE."
Also, note that the contacts for the facility are all FEMA and DHS people,
DHS phone numbers, DHS E-Mail address and so forth.
The address in Mechanicsburg, PA is the "Defense Enterprise Computing Center"
or "DECC (SMC) Mechanicsburg", which is one of the 18 national mega-computer

FEMA already has a huge computer facility up on the Mountain, so there is
no reason to tie into the systems in Mechanicsburg unless there is a military
or Intelligence function up on Mount Weather.

THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES PROVIDED IN FULL TEXT ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN:
1. BASIC TERMINATION LIABILITY - BTL: NO BTL CHARGES WILL BE
ACCEPTED. IF SUCH CHARGES ARE PROPOSED, THE QUOTATION WILL BE CONSIDERED
UNACCEPTABLE.
2. EVALUATION OF QUOTES-PRICE/SERVICE DELIVERY DATE/PAST PERFORMANCE:
DITCO INTENDS TO ISSUE AN ORDER TO THE RESPONSIBLE OFFEROR WHO'S QUOTE IS
DETERMINED TO PROVIDE THE BEST PRICE/SERVICE DELIVERY DATE/AND PAST PERFORMANCE
RELATIONSHIP. THE SERVICE DATE AND PAST PERFORMANCE FACTORS WHEN COMBINED
ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE.
A. OFFERORS SHALL INDICATE HOW SOON AFTER RECEIPT
OF AN ORDER (ARO) REQUIRED SERVICE CAN BE PROVIDED. IT IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE
THAT SERVICE BE FURNISHED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND NO LATER THAN (15 JUN 06).
FOR PLANNING PURPOSES, THE GOVERNMENT WILL ENDEAVOR TO ISSUE AN ORDER WITHIN
10 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF QUOTES.
B. THE GOVERNMENT WILL EVALUATE THE PAST PERFORMANCE
OF A CONTRACTOR IN PERFORMANCE OF CURRENT CONTRACTS FOR SIMILAR SERVICES
PERFORMED WITHIN THE PAST THREE YEARS. DITCO INTENDS TO USE ITS OWN
EXPERIENCE WITH COMPANIES IN DETERMINING PAST PERFORMANCE. IN ORDER
TO BE CONSIDERED RESPONSIVE TO THE INQUIRY, A CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE DITCO
WITH RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE REFERENCES THAT INCLUDES A MINIMUM OF FIVE
(5) TELECOMMUNICATION CONTRACTS TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION OF PAST
PERFORMANCE. IT SHOULD INCLUDE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION FOR DITCO TO
READILY OBTAIN PAST PERFORMANCE (I.E., GOVERNMENT CONTRACT NUMBER AND NAME,
PHONE NUMBER, AND ORGANIZATION OF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER/OR OTHER AUTHORIZED
OFFICIAL). DEPENDING UPON THE PAST PERFORMANCE DATA AVAILABLE, DITCO
MAY ELECT NOT TO CONTACT ANY OR ALL OF THE PAST PERFORMANCE REFERENCES PROVIDED
BY A CONTRACTOR.
C. IN THE EVENT THAT THE OFFEROR DOES NOT HAVE DITCO
CONTRACTS, OTHER GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS FOR SIMILAR TYPES OF SERVICES WOULD
BE ACCEPTABLE. IF THE OFFEROR DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTRACTS WITH GOVERNMENT
ENTITIES, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION OF COMMERCIAL SERVICES
PROVIDED TO OTHER COMPANIES. CONTRACTORS THAT HAVE NO RELEVANT PAST
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION SHALL BE GIVEN A NEUTRAL RANKING.
D. THE GOVERNMENT IS PREPARED TO PAY A HIGHER PRICE
FOR A BETTER SERVICE DELIVERY DATE AND PAST PERFORMANCE RATING COMBINATION
THAN COST. HOWEVER, THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PAY A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER
PRICE FOR A BETTER DELIVERY DATE PAST PERFORMANCE COMBINATION THAT IS ONLY
SLIGHTLY BETTER. THEREFORE, ALTHOUGH SERVICE DELIVERY DATE/PAST PERFORMANCE
IS VERY IMPORTANT, THE GOVERMENT WILL CONSIDER THE ENTIRE PRICE/SERVICE DELIVERY
DATE/PAST PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIP AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ISSUE AN ORDER
BASED ON A QUOTE WHICH WILL PROVIDE SERVICE AFTER (15 JUN 06).
3. ALL QUOTES PROVIDED IN RESPONSE TO THIS INQUIRY MUST IDENTIFY WHETHER
PRICE QUOTED IS NON-TARIFFED OR TARIFFED BY SEGMENT, AND IF TARIFFED MUST
IDENTIFY THE APPLICABLE CARRIER AND TARIFF. FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS
INFORMATION MAY RENDER THE QUOTE PROVIDED AS UNACCEPTABLE.
4. QUOTES SHALL CONTAIN ALL KNOWN APPLICABLE CHARGES, E.G., FEDERAL,
STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES AND ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS CHARGES WHICH THE VENDOR
INTENDS TO PASS THROUGH TO THE GOVERNMENT. CHARGES NOT INCLUDED IN
THE QUOTE CANNOT BE ADDED TO A SUBSEQUENT INVOICE. THE GOVERNMENT WILL
NOT PAY FOR CHARGES KNOWN TO THE VENDOR WHICH IT FAILS TO INCLUDE IN THE
QUOTE. THE QUOTES MAY EITHER ITEMIZE SUCH CHARGES OR COMBINE THEM INTO
THE MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGE (MRC).
5. THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ISSUE AN ORDER FOR THIS SERVICE TO
A COMMON CARRIER PURSUANT TO A PUBLICLY FILED TARIFF. THIS PROCEDURE
WILL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE TARIFFED CARRIER HAS RESPONDED TO THIS
INQUIRY, WHEN THE PUBLISHED TARIFF COST OF THE SERVICE IS LOWER THAN THE
COMPETITIVE COST QUOTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS INQUIRY.
6. UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND (USF) FEES SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE QUOTATION
AND INDICATE THE APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE RATE. IF THE USF IS NOT APPLIED,
THE QUOTE SHALL STATE THE REASON THE USF IS NOT REQUIRED. THE USF SHALL
BE INCLUDED IN THE MRC OR AS A SEPARATE LINE ITEM IN THE QUOTE. IF
THE USF IS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MRC, THE QUOTE SHALL SO STATE. FAILURE
TO COMPLY WITH THIS CLAUSE WILL RENDER THE QUOTE UNACCEPTABLE.
7. THE CONTRACTOR RECEIVING THIS AWARD WILL ASSUME THE ROLE OF OVERALL
COORDINATOR AND WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING END-TO-END SERVICE AND
ENSURE TECHNICAL SUFFICIENCY OF THE SERVICE.
8. TROUBLE REPORTING PROCEDURE. THE CONTRACTOR TO WHOM THE AWARD
