Solicitation 12010920R0001_StreamCrossingImprovements Questions and Answers

No information given on this document amends the solicitation.

Question 1: It appears as though we would be putting in a lump sum price for all the projects, identified as a ceiling price in the packet?

Answer 1: The prices aren’t a lump sum per job. Section B (right after B-4): The schedule in this solicitation is different from what folks have seen in the past. The schedule of items will include two types of rates.

a. fully loaded hourly rates for the listed labor categories. These labor categories are taken from the DOL Wage Determination and were chosen as the most likely labor categories that will be used by the contractor in performing work on Task Orders.

b. Hourly rates for different types of equipment with operators.

Contractors who are awarded IDIQ contracts will use these rates when calculating task order pricing. Since each job is different, other direct costs such as mobilization or materials/supplies will be priced at the task order level. The rates contained in the schedule are not to exceed rates – contractors may use rates less than the rates contained in the schedule when calculating task order prices.

Question 2: Does a company have to submit a proposal on every task announcement?

Answer 2: No. Your company can compete for select task announcements or all of the task announcements that are advertised.
