The following questions were received for RFQ 15JA0521Q00000026 —

Question 1. Could you please tell me if this is a new requirement, or if there is a current or previous contractor who has performed similar services? If available, can you please send along the incumbent contract or task order number?

Answer 1. This is not a new requirement. Current incumbents are the following—

Question 2. On Page 27, there is a requirement to provide a videographer. Historically, for the rare occasions the EDNC needs a videographer for a proceeding, they have issued separate DCNs to the videographer and the videographer bills EDNC directly. Is it now going to be a requirement that we have a videographer on our staff and all billings for those services will go through the court reporter?

Answer 2. If an offeror does not have a qualified videographer, they can still submit a quote without being penalized. Those offerors who cannot provide a videographer shall state in those CLINs “N/C” (no charge instead of stating zero).

In addition, please have a statement within the quote submission that the company does not have a videographer on staff and did not price for CLINs 0009, 0020, 1009, 1020, 2009, 2020, 3009, 3020, 4009, and 4020.

The videographer CLINs are labeled as "Optional" for pricing in this solicitation and won't be evaluated for purposes of technical merit.

This change will be included in Amendment 0001.

Question 3. All the contract line items ask for travel costs. However, on Page 30 for GJ Travel and Page 32 for Deposition Travel, the document clearly says that all travel costs will be IAW JTR. What travel costs are you asking for us to outline on each CLIN? Is it acceptable to simply put IAW JTR on those spots?

Answer 3. On page 27 under the Description of Services heading, it is noted that “the offerors will be expected to incorporate their anticipated cost of travel into their price proposal. Travel shall be paid if normal site location has to be moved to alternate locations outside of a 50-mile radius of original location. The Contractor shall follow all Federal Travel Regulations (FTR).” Based on this, the travel CLINs in RFQ 15JA0521Q00000026 (CLINs 0024, 1024, 2024, 3024, and 4024) do not require pricing

Grand Jury & Deposition Court Reporting Services, USAO-NCE from offerors when their quote is submitted. This change will be included in Amendment 0001.

Question 4. On Page 4, the first of the Schedule of Supplies/Services pages, it appears that CLIN 0001 has been left off. This would cover Grand Jury: Regular Transcript cost for Year 1. The document goes straight to CLIN 0002, expedited, for Year 1. Was that intentional or is it an omission?

Answer 4. CLIN 0001 is on the front page of the SF 1449. As noted on page 28 under the Pricing subheading—"Please quote based on the Grand Jury and/or Deposition court reporting services described in Blocks 19. through 24. Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001 begins on page 1 of the SF1449.”
