This significantly hinders our ability to search and review the document effectively. In accordance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d), which mandates federal agencies to ensure that their electronic and information technology is accessible to individuals with disabilities, we kindly request that you provide an OCR-readable version of the RFP.

However, section M.2.3 states that a minimum of three (3) years of experience is required for the Project Manager, Site Supervisor, and the CMMS Manager. This appears to be inconsistent with the qualifications outlined in sections H.15.2.1 and H.15.2.2.

Could you please clarify which experience requirements will be used during the evaluation process for these key personnel positions? Specifically, should the proposed Project Manager and Site Supervisor meet the 5-year experience requirement as per section H.15.2.1 and H.15.2.2, or the 3-year requirement mentioned in section M.2.3?
