Another point I meant to ask was about TOPR 1, tasks

1.3.1.2 and 1.3.1.3 that involve procuring tractor truck and generator. There was no funding allocated to these items it is our understanding that we will not know this until after the award of the contract and the task order.

How does the government intend to fund these items as they do not seem to be included in the TOPR 1?

As stated in the TOPR 1 instructions: The Offeror shall provide a price proposal that reflects its proposed solution to the Government’s requirements. If material or travel costs are proposed in excess of what is provided it shall be supported by explanation of estimating factors and other relevant supporting details. A row will be added in a forthcoming amendment to add an

Equipment row for those tasks in the TOPR 1

Schedule of Services.
