STATEMENT OF

WORK (SOW)

Sec 2.ii

Section 2.ii says "The Contractor shall assist PRAD on the technical programming and evaluation of work performed with the ME Legacy PIMS model, including but not limited to Technical Assistance requests from Capitol Hill and assistance on the PRAD report deliverables". Does it mean to support and maintain both ME Legacy PIMS model as well as Excel based ME model?

Per page 8 of the Solicitation, "the current SE PIMS and ME PIMS models in conjunction are referred to as Legacy PIMS." The Excel-based ME model is current and, consequently, as far as ME, that is what the Contractor will support and maintain.

2 General a) Whether a "Key Personnel" be part time? The question is relevant since RFQ has put a ceiling on total hours for each period.

b) If allowed, whether a "Key Personnel" can work on some other contract?

Key Personnel are permitted to be part time and work on other contracts, as long as those personnel are available to work when called upon by PRAD and don't have conflicts of interest on their other contracts. ME technical assistance work can be very sporadic and time sensitive; PRAD would require any Key Personnel to be available when called upon without much advance warning.

All other terms and conditions of the solicitation number 16PBGC20Q0036 remain in full force and effect.
