Question: Is the following stating that the vendor agrees to provide these services and the maximum hours for the services are 960. The assumption is that this is not a fixed price. Instead BSEE would ask for hours for various services and the vendor would provide the hours and dollars required for the service. In other words, these are optional hours that can could be exercised from exercised from 1-960. Is this correct?

* - The Government has provided Project Manager and Consultant as the required labor category under this effort. The Contractor may quote other appropriate labor categories that are applicable to accomplish the work requirement. Categories and hours will be identified and funded on a Not To Exceed with specific consultation needs identified via a separate CLIN(s) if the task is exercised.

CLIN 01013 is a Labor Hour line item to obtain consulting services from the Contractor during the period of performance. The level of effort required to obtain commercial software support services, including system software integration, system software engineering, and system software application support. The Contractor shall provide fully burdened, fixed hourly labor rates which include wages, overhead, general, and administrative expenses, and profit. The Not To Exceed (NTE) ceiling amount will be funded on an as-needed basis up to the ceiling amount specified. If the Not to Exceed (NTE) ceiling amount, if exceeded, will be at the Contractor's own risk."

Response: Correct, for Task 4: Consulting Services, it is not a fixed price CLIN and is done on a labor hour basis. It is an optional task that can take place in the base year or the option years via CLINs 00013, 01013, 02013, 03013 or 04013. If this task were to be exercised, funding would be provided for the various consulting services and fully funded for the number of hours at the rates proposed via a modification. The optional hours could be exercised from 1-960 depending on the Consulting Services being provided.
