1. For house/apartment lodging, does the Government anticipate any unit turnovers (move-outs/move-ins) during the POP that would require interim cleaning, or should we assume the same occupants remain assigned for the full period (aside from field/fire absences)?

One set of occupants - no turn over.

2. Approximately how much time do you anticipate between award and the 04/18/2026 POP start? If award is delayed, will the POP start date shift accordingly, or is 04/18 firm? Is there a minimum mobilization/setup period the Government will allow for apartment/house arrangements?

There could be flexibility on start date - seasonals start on 5/3/26. An April 26 date could be accommodated.

3. The SOW states ‘2 of the beds must be in their own unit with at least 1 full bathroom’ and also describes an ‘acceptable compromise’ where the two beds have ‘their own bathroom separate from other beds… for privacy.

Please confirm which interpretation the Government will accept:

A) The two beds must be in a separate standalone dwelling unit (e.g., studio/1BR with a dedicated full bath), OR B) The requirement may be met within a larger apartment/house if the two beds are in a private bedroom/suite area with a dedicated full bathroom separated from the other occupants’ sleeping areas.

B, larger dwellings with shared living spaces.

4. For beds other than the two-bed privacy requirement, does the Government allow two occupants to share one bedroom (i.e., two separate beds in a single bedroom) as long as the overall layout maintains no more than four (4) occupants per full bathroom? If yes, does this allowance apply regardless of whether the occupants are co-ed, or are there any additional co-ed restrictions on bedroom sharing?

Yes, two separate beds in a single bedroom is expected/allowable. Occupants will be separated by gender.

5. Are all units required to be within one facility/complex in each city, or may the requirement be met using multiple units (e.g., multiple apartments/houses) as long as each is within the 25-mile radius and all other requirements are met?

Multiple units within the 25-mile radius is acceptable.
