Additional VAM Q&A 1/13/21

QUESTION 21

The J-2 Pricing Sheet issued as part of Amendment 6 is only allowing for profit on the Other Costs for CLINs 0004, 0005, 0008, and 0009. Please confirm the requirement is now to price each hour for shoreside support positions and each day for crew billets inclusive of profit. Is the profit formula correct?

Answer: See amended J-2 pricing spreadsheet.

Under the tab titled “Rates for CLINs 4,5,7” the instructions state that “Pricing for all Base and Option Period rates (Labor, Expenses, Indirect Costs, General & Administrative Expenses) -including profit percentage - shall be provided by the Offeror and locked in at time of award; not subject to future adjustment.”

Under tabs for CLIN 4 and CLIN 5, the profit percentage now applies to labor rates as well as “expenses, indirect cost and G&A.” Per the instruction for labor rates tab 4,5,7 stated above, the labor rate does not include profit.

For CLIN 8 and 9, per section L in the solicitation, “In pricing crew costs for vessel custodial services, CLINs 0008 and 0009, offerors are instructed to use fully burdened crew daily rates currently in effect under CBA…” Therefore, the profit formula is correct for CLINs 8 and 9 which only applies to other direct costs, indirect costs, General and Administrative Expenses [G&A].

QUESTION 22

The pricing sheets for the individual CLINs 0001, 0002, 0003 are locked down and only allow input in the yellow highlighted cells. Please either provide the password to unlock these sheets, provide this file with those sheets unprotected, or confirm that you do not require any supporting detail for these CLINs.

Answer: As indicated in the instruction for tabs CLIN 1, CLIN 2 and CLIN 3, offerors are to “Provide a thorough breakdown showing detailed calculations made to arrive at the proposed firm fixed price to include the following:…”

In the amended J-2 pricing spreadsheet, three tabs were added for offerors to include pricing details per existing instructions. These tabs are titled “CLIN 1 Pricing Details,” “CLIN 2 Pricing Details,” and “CLIN 3 Pricing Details.” Formatting and spreadsheet structure for these tabs is determined by the offeror, in order to show the detail and provide the information requested.
