Dedicated Recruiter for

Manassas National Battlefield Park (MANA)

AMENDMENT 0001:

The purpose of this amendment is to respond to vendor questions, #1-6:

Question #1:

Please provide the SCA occupation code for the recruiter role.

Response: The occupation code is not listed in the wage determination. See pages 13 and 14 of Attachment 3 for the conformance process under Request for Authorization of Additional Classification and Wage Rate Standard Form 1444.

Question #2:

Should offerors provide insight on how many hours are required by quarter or month?

Response: Yes, if it makes the bidding process easier to understand. However as this will be a non-consecutive/intermittent work schedule it may be useful for the breakdown to be understood as total hours required by the 13 weeks of work, and not as a quarterly/monthly breakdown for the year. (i.e., hours required for 13 weeks of work vs. hours required over the actual period of performance).

Question #3:

Is the plan to have all 13 work weeks completed consecutively?

Response: No, work will be intermittent, and will be performed as recruitment needs arise. For example, the park hires seasonal employees for the Summer and Winter seasons. We would like to prepare far in advance to promote the jobs ahead of time and during the open periods to increase the applicant pool.

Question #4:

Are the monthly reports only required during that specific month when the contractor works?

Response: Yes, only provide reports for the specific month when work is completed.

Question #5:

What is considered a “centralized community location”?

Response: Since Prince William County extends from I-95 – I66, any location within that corridor (and within the North/South confines of the county boundary) would be considered a “centralized community location”.

Preserving unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.

Question #6:

Please clarify required proposal contents (i.e., pricing, resumes, and reps and certs; OR pricing, resumes, technical approach, and reps and certs; OR other).

Question #7:

Response: N/A.

Question #8 Is this a recompete or is there an incumbent?

Response: No, this is the first contract of this type for the NPS.

Question #9:

Response: Travel to job fair, local high schools, universities/colleges, or other facilities to instruct on resume writing and how to apply on USA Jobs, may be required.
