Kristine Stout

CONTINUATION PAGE

1. on Page 34 of the solicitation it notes a Monetary Wage Fringe Benefit of $24.17. What is this referencing? It does not match none of the attached Wage Determination Benefit Documents.

a) This is the statement of equivalent hire for FAR clause 52.222-42, and is not part of a wage rate, but is informational. In accordance with 22.1016(b) “(b) Procedures for computation of these rates are as follows: (1) Wages paid blue collar employees shall be the basic hourly rate for each class. The rate shall be Wage Board pay schedule step two for nonsupervisory service employees and step three for supervisory service employees.”

2. Will there be a minimum number of trips per awarded contractor?

a) No, the minimum guarantee for each contractor is stated on page 21, and is a total of $10,000 for the life of the contract.

3. The contract states multiple awardees, which is assumed all will be sharing the estimated trips on each CLIN, is there a number of awardees that will be chosen ( ie: 3 or 4 companies).

a) As stated in 52.216-27, the government anticipates awarding three to five contracts.

4. How will the work be distribute to the different companies?

a) The trips shall be distributed among all awarded companies in an even manner. It is anticipated that each contractor should receive similar quantities and types of runs, but this could be limited by fleet size, and runs needed in a given day.

5. What is classified as an emergency transport?

a) There is no request for emergency transport in this requirement. As noted on the second amendment answering questions, most runs will be requested the day before, and some will be needed each day, within a 45-60 minute response window.
