Under Evaluation Factor 1 ‐ Professional Qualifications, the directions state: "Submit a minimum of three (3) and maximum of five (5) resumes for key personnel A and B listed above and one (1) resume for key personnel

C and D (if applicable)." I interpret this to mean we must submit 3‐5 resumes for the CPE position, 3‐5 resumes for the CI position, 1 resume for the CMEx, and 1 resume for the Training/Hiring Personnel (if applicable).

Please confirm this is correct (as opposed to 3‐5 resumes total between the CPE and CI positions).

Correct, please submit three to five resumes for the

Consultant Project Engineer (CPE) position, three to five resumes for the Consultant Inspector (CI) position, one resume for the Consultant Management Firm Project

Executive (CMEx) position, and one resume for the

Training/Hiring Personnel position (if applicable).

This question also regards Evaluation Factor 1 ‐

Professional Qualifications. In the Draft SOW, "Project

Office Clerk" and "Project Office Assistant" are listed as positions that may need to be filled under this contract.

These two positions do not fall under C.6 Additional

Services like Contract Dispute Specialist, Scheduling

Specialist, etc., which all include language to the effect of: "Because this position falls under Additional Services, the CMF is not required to have someone who meets these qualifications at the time of the execution of the

IDIQ.". Should we include Section E resumes for these individuals?

Please refer to the Request for Qualifications Evaluation

Factors and Standard Form 330 for information on what resumes to submit for this Request for Qualifications.

The draft SOW is only for additional context for the work that will be performed in the future.

I am having trouble finding a good source of information for what the US Census Bureau considers rural; I am getting a lot of information about counties/census tracts that are "mostly urban," "mostly rural," etc. A project might be located within a large census area (like

Missoula County) that has an urban area within it, but the project itself it far outside the urban area (though still within that county).

The specific project location will be used to determine whether the project meets the criteria related to rural locations.

For Section F requirements, instead of 100% completed by the submission of the minimum qualifications of this

RFQ, can it be amended to read ‐ "all relevant experience identified shall have met the minimum requirements i and ii below between May 1st, 2018 and submission of the minimum qualifications of this RFQ."

This would allow current projects to be included in

Section F that are still underway but still currently meet the current qualifications.
