Manchester Construction SATOC - 36C24124R0058
According to paragraph 13.3.1 Factor 2 offers shall submit a minimum of 2 CPARS. According to paragraph 13.3.4 offers shall submit a minimum of 2 PPQ’s. Please clarify whether the offer shall comply with paragraph 13.3.1 or 13.3.4?
Contractor to submit minimum of 2 PPQ’s; VA to follow up by inves�ga�ng contractor’s CPARS.
In the Line-Item Unit Prices paragraph on page 6 of the Statement of Work it is stated: “Unit prices include considera�on of direct material, labor, and equipment costs, but do not include indirect costs and profit. Indirect costs and profit are in the coefficients.” Please provide a comprehensive list of indirect costs that should be included in the coefficient.
As the en�re solicita�on is based on this coefficient, it is contractor’s responsibility to determine what costs they may incur above and beyond RS Means unit pricing, and to subsequently minimize that coefficient so as to be as compe��ve as possible.
According to page 4 of the Statement of Work, Hard Copy of Means: “The contractor shall provide one (1) hard copy of unit price data to consist of the R.S. MEANS® cost data books listed below.
Contractor shall provide the latest edi�on of these books to the Chief of Construc�on a�er 1 January and no later than 15 January, for the life of the contract.” Please confirm whether this shall be considered a unit price item to be included in the first Tast Order of the year or as part of the coefficient?
This requirement, though confusing, is meant to ensure that every party is consistently using the most up-to-date RS Means data available. Disregard the requirement to submit hard copy unit price data.
Page 5 and 6 of the Statement of Work, paragraph F states: “The offeror must include a coefficient cost for work to be performed during standard and premium working hours; the appropriate coefficient will be applied to each task order issued under the contract.” Please provide an updated Price Schedule with CLIN’s for both standard and premium working hour coefficients.
This solicita�on is compe��ve based solely on this coefficient, applied directly on top of relevant RS Means line items. In order to be as compe��ve as possible, VA will compare each offeror’s coefficient and select the one that gives the best value to the government.
