1. Question: Do we submit an electronic copy and separate CDs or select one method?

a. HHS Response: The second paragraph of Section “L.4 Inquiries/Submission” states “ The Offeror shall submit (1) original electronic copy of the technical, past performance and business proposals to the Government by way of email and or an electronic version of each proposal on separate CDs”. Therefore the preferred delivery method is email but if it is not feasible to send the proposal by email then we will accept a CD of the proposal documents at the address provided, or the offeror may send both and email and a CD copy.

2. Question: Can tables and graphs use size 10 font?

a. HHS Response: size 10 font in tables and graphs is acceptable.

3. Question: Are transcripts mandatory for the proposed personnel?

a. HHS Response: Yes college transcripts

4. Question: Is there a page limit on the length of a resume?

a. HHS Response: A page limit on resumes has not been identified however typical resumes are no more than five pages in length. Further the information presented in these resumes must not be ambiguous and shall clearly addresses the proposed staff qualifications in accordance with the requirements listed in the statement of work, so the technical evaluators can have a clear understanding of the qualifications of the proposed staff.

5. Question: Though this is a firm fixed price contract, are travel expenses to be submitted and reimbursed separately? This language is confusing.

a. HHS Response: Travel expense should be submitted on the appropriate invoice when the travel occurred. (The Government only pays actual cost)
