See Attachment L, “Region 4 Authorizations & Unique Counts by Rurality FY15-FY18”. The Contracting Officer will only authorize pricing to be paid for this CLIN when Contractor submits documentation for the rate proposed in a Highly Rural Area or for Scarce Medical Services. “

2. RFP Section L.4.1 through L.4.4 is replaced with the instructions below with Final Proposal Revision 2:

L.4.1. The Offeror’s proposal shall consist of completed Volumes for any volumes that are changed under FPR-2, in the format and quantities described below. The Volumes shall be legible, organized and marked as indicated. Failure to submit complete Volumes in the manner described for each Volume shall be considered as a “no response” and shall exclude the proposals from further consideration. Elaborate brochures, detailed artwork, or other embellishments shall not be submitted and if submitted will not be evaluated. Proposals shall have sequential page numbers at the bottom of each page.

All pages of each proposal shall be appropriately numbered and identified with the solicitation number. Offerors’ electronic versions of their proposals must be submitted in the Portable Document Format (PDF) unless otherwise specified below.

L.4.1.1

For Final Proposal Revision 2 (FPR-2), in accordance with FAR 15.306(d)(2), Offerors may revise any portion of their proposal, or nothing at all. If a decision is made that no revisions are warranted, you must submit a written statement in a separate tab under Volume V by the deadline for receipt of proposals stating that your original proposal dated November 5, 2018 or Final Proposal Revision (FPR-

1) submitted on (XX/XX/2019) is your final proposal.

If Offerors decide to make changes, please include the submission date of FPR-2 on the front cover page and submit a complete FPR that includes all the information described herein. Since no further discussions are contemplated, it's critical that Offerors conform to these directions and facilitate understanding by ensuring traceability all the way through from the original proposal and FPR-1, to

FPR-2. It is the Offerors responsibility to mark all changes in the manner described in this memo to indicate where revisions from your last submission to FPR-2 were made.

The FPR-2 shall comply with the proposal identification requirements below. As a minimum, Offeror’s FPR-2 must show - -

(1) The Solicitation Number;

(2) The time specified in this document below for receipt of FPR-2;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the Offeror;

(4) A technical description of any items being revised;

(5) Acknowledgement of any amendments

Detailed Requirements for FPR-2 submission are:

Written: Submit a complete, stand-alone volume, impacted by any changes submitted. A complete proposal is one that includes all the information described and submitted in accordance with this amendment.

Text: (Clean) Submit one (1) “clean” copy for verification of page limitations.

Pages that contain revisions from your initial proposal shall have change bars along the outside margin next to every line that includes a change. All new text shall also be indicated with change bars. Compliance with page limitation requirements identified below will be verified using this format, which must also conform to the text, font, and binding and labeling instructions found at RFP Section L.4.3. Material submitted in excess of the page limits or noncompliance with printing parameters will be removed from both the “clean” and “line-in/line-out” copies and that material will not be considered in the evaluation and source selection decision. The “clean” version will be treated as the FPR-2 original.

Text: (Line-in/line-out) Submit (1) Line in/line-out copy. The content of the “line-in/lineout” text submission shall be identical to the “clean” submittal; but will fully indicate all edits made to the original text proposal. In addition to the bar in the outside margin showing every line where a revision has been made, the “line-in/line-out” version shall be submitted with the following edit feature settings:

inserted text--red, underlined text; deleted text--struck through in black; and changed formatting--none.

Electronic: Submit an electronic version of your complete written proposal in accordance with the instructions at RFP Section L.4.2. The content of the electronic text submission shall be identical to the “line-in/line-out” submittal, i.e., inserted text--red, underlined text; deleted text--struck through in black; and changed formatting--none. Submit the electronic version with the edit features turned on.

One (1) electronic version shall be submitted for both Clean and Line-in/Line out in Word or Adobe PDF.

Detailed Requirements for Volumes V are:

Offerors shall submit a complete pricing template (reflecting the revised prices) in the pricing template, “CCN Reg4 Pricing Template v8 04032019”, an explanatory narrative that the Offeror provides as the basis for their proposed price (if changes to the narrative are necessary to correspond or explain pricing changes in the template), and a change page indicating the narrative sections and specific contract line items and sub-line items with revised pricing. The Offeror’s completed pricing template constitutes its offer to the Government. The electronic price proposal narrative shall be in Microsoft Word, and the price proposal calculations shall be in Excel. Submitted files shall contain all formulas, calculations, and worksheet/workbook links used to compute the proposed amounts. The formulas, calculations, and links shall not be hidden for the Government to verify the accuracy of the data. Print image files or those files/worksheets containing only values are not acceptable. Submit a version of your complete Volume V if required in accordance with the instructions at RFP Section L.4. The pricing narrative shall be in word or pdf. Page limitation shall be in accordance with Table 22 and the change page will not count against page count limitations.

No part of a volume shall incorporate by reference portions of other Volumes of the proposal (e.g., Volume V, Price Proposal, shall not be referenced in Volume II, Technical Proposal).

Proposal contents that exceed the stated page limitations will not be considered in the evaluations. The following table, with a breakout of the page limitations cross-referenced to the specific paragraph of Section L, is provided for Offeror’s convenience. If a paragraph is not listed in this table, but there is a requirement for information to be submitted in the proposal, then a page limitation is not applicable.
