# Section/Page Clarification

1 C.3.c. p.22 The CTT chart appears to be incorrect. Please confirm that the 24 slot Landscaping trade, which is not currently taught at the center, should be replaced with the 24 slot Facility Maintenance trade that was added in Amendment 2, Question 3.

There is no Landscaping trade. This was replaced by the 24-slot Facility Maintenance trade.

2 C.3.D. p.24 Total CTS goals are listed at 1,216 for students enrolled at Sacramento and returning to the listed areas. This appears to well-exceed the throughput for Sacramento given an OBS of 414. Please confirm or clarify.

The total placement quota for Career Transition Services (CTS) has been reduced to 540. This total includes 324 graduates and 216 former enrollees per year.

3 L.6.H, p93 The proposal format table states that Graphs and charts must be at least 10 point or larger font. For the written portion, may offerors use an 8 point font for large graphs and charts, which is still readable and the typical font used for graphics?

Yes. Offerors may use an 8 point font for large graphs and charts.

4 L. 6 p. Proposal format, p. 94

The RFP indicates, “The Technical Approach, Relevant Experience, and Staff Resources narrative sections shall be bound separately.”

On pg. 93 it states 4 hard copies of OA/CTS should be submitted. Will the government allow the OA/CTS section to be combined with the Technical Approach?

Yes. The OA/CTS section may be combined with the Technical Approach.

5 L.6 Proposal format p. 94

The RFP lists one USB for each proposal section to be submitted. Will the government accept one flash drive with the Technical Approach, OA/CTS, Staff Resources, and Relevant Experience and a second flash drive that includes the Business Management Proposal?

Yes. The Government will accept one flash drive with the Technical Approach, OA/CTS, Staff Resources, and Relevant Experience in addition to a second flash drive that includes the Business Management Proposal.

6 RFP H.6.C p.49 Amendment 3 – Response #14

Response #14 of Amendment 3 pertaining to RFP Section H.6 C on Prevailing Wage/Minimum Required amounts to be proposed in accordance with BLS data, provided the following link to the BLS website:

https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_ca.htm

The link refers to salary data for the entire state of California.

BLS salary statistics for the Sacramento--Roseville--Arden-Arcade, CA area, which by definition includes the location of the Sacramento Job Corp Center, can be found at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_40900.htm.

Solicitation No. 1630J6-18-R-00001 Amendment No. 5

Please confirm which source should be referred to – the one for the entire state or the local Sacramento area.

Please refer to the website for the local Sacramento area.

7 Attachment J.1 Amendment 3 – Response #24

The response states “the fee columns in the personnel tabs should match the fees in section G.3”.

This response appears to be incorrect, or in the very least, inconsistent with clarification received in recent solicitations of similar type. Those responses indicate that this fee was discretionary and separate from the incentive fees described within the RFP. Furthermore, the response offered in #24 of Amendment 3 to this solicitation would cause for double counting of the fee within the pricing summary tab. Please consider rescinding this response and providing clarification.

The statement is hereby rescinded.

8 Amendment 4 – Response #9

The response includes “NTE amounts have been provided,” but the NTE amounts have not been provided. Please clarify the response and whether or not the NTE amounts for the CR lines should be proposed or if DOL will provide these at time of contract award.

NTE amounts will be provided at time of contract award.
