RFP No. 693JF24R000013 Amendment No. 0001
Question No. 1: RFP Section D.2 Proposals are limited to 25 pages and must be received within forty-five (45) days of the publication of this RFP. Is the cover page and table of contents (or other non-technical elements, such as resumes) excluded from the 25-page limit?
Response No. 1: The cover page and table of contents is included as part of the total 25 pages.
Question No. 2: RFP Sections A, B how the applicant would conduct any research in-house as well as in collaboration with members and subrecipients (if applicable); how the applicant would announce, evaluate for selection, and fund research projects conforming to identified research areas; identify additional funding sources that could be procured to support the work of the Center; and, any other information the applicant deems necessary to justify the proposed Center. Does acting as the Secretariat preclude the Center Administrator to participate as a researcher as well?
Response No. 2: If qualified, there is no reason why someone in-house could not participate in the research.
Question No. 3: RFP Section D.6 "The limit to indirect (overhead) costs is 25% of the $500,000 being allocated to the formation of the Center and any project management-related costs." If we have a Government approved negotiated indirect cost rate letter, and our rate is above 25%, can we apply the full negotiated rate to the $500,000 referenced under "Funding Restrictions"?
Response No. 3: If you have a negotiated indirect cost rate, you should be able to apply it.
Question No. 4: Since we are rapidly approaching the proposal due of July 17, 2024, would DOT consider extending the proposal due date such as an additional week?
Response No. 4: The proposal due date of July 17, 2024, will not be extended.
