Questions and Answers for 12318726Q0141, Support Services Weber Basin Job Corps

The main solicitation states that Technical Capability and Past Performance are more important than Price. However, the attached Revised Proposal Evaluation Criteria states that Technical, Past Performance, and Cost are of equal importance.

Can the Government please confirm which document controls the evaluation?

PWS Section 5.0 identifies a Purchase Order Contract Manager and a Project Coordination and Oversight Lead.

Q4: Professional / Medical Liability Insurance

PWS Section 6.1.2 references FAR 52.237-7 for non-personal services.

Can the Government please confirm whether this insurance requirement applies to the Social Services Assistant, Cook, and Maintenance Worker positions in this solicitation, or whether it only applies to clinical or healthcare-related roles?

6.1.2 Malpractice for Non-Personal Services Arrangements:

When the Purchase Order specifies a non-personal services arrangement for contract workers, the Contractor, and all subcontractors, shall meet the requirements of FAR Clause 52.237-7, Indemnification and Medical Liability Insurance, for its contract workers on the contract.

Q5: Price Submission Format

The Revised Proposal Evaluation Criteria requests that pricing show overhead, fringe benefits, G&A, and profit, along with the fully burdened hourly rate.

Should this breakdown be provided for each CLIN, and is there a specific format or template the Government would like offerors to use?

That is correct for each CLIN (EACH POSITION) – there is no template – you can price each CLIN and on a separate page provide the requested information (overhead, fringe benefits, G&A, and profit, along with the fully burdened hourly rate).
