During contract performance, are offerors required to provide Project Managers/Onsite Supervisors at both locations simultaneously? Section C.1.2.2, Authority

Answer No, Refer to C.1.2.2 Authority

The way we understand the RFQ, the requirement for bidders to provide resumes for all supervisory positions and be forced to hire these employees seems unusual since offerors are not allowed access to incumbent personnel under after award. If bidders propose new supervisor staff, a vast amount of institutional knowledge walks out the door with incumbent staff departure. This makes it infeasible for the awardee to vet the current, knowledgeable incumbent supervisory staff prior to award to determine whether they need to search for more qualified or experienced personnel. This seems counter-productive to providing the best possible service for the buildings. Will the Government consider the resumes as minimally acceptable qualifications, as stated in Factor 1(a), however, permitting the awardee to vet the current staff before making changes to existing incumbent supervisory team? This would allow the awardee to change Key Personnel after award if incumbent personnel are qualified and acceptable.

Factor 1a. Management Approach

Answer This answer is addressed in the amendment revising section C.1.2.1. of the work statement.

During the Pre Proposal Conference, some discussion revolved around whether the contractor should replace personnel who are out for vacation/leave or sick. The Government representatives indicated the contractor would not have to backfill for these types of absences (vacation/leave or sick); however, Paragraph L.12.a (2) indicates offerors must maintain “full staffing levels at all times during employee vacations and other absences.” Can the Government clarify the intent of this paragraph?

Section L.12.a(2), Management Approach
