15. Question: REF: Solicita�on, page 8, Item 0002, Equipment Specialist, SOW, page 18, para 4.20.2, Equipment Specialist. The references indicate the requirement to employ a person with in-depth knowledge of the FAA equipment as well as supply procedures to inspect materials and supplies to determine serviceability, opera�onal func�onal compa�bility and general condi�on of the materials being processed in the supply bench stock system. In reviewing the DOL Directory of Occupa�ons, there does not appear to be an established code for such a posi�on.

Please clarify which Occupa�on Code the Government would prefer for this posi�on.

Answer: Not all occupations may be found in the Wage Determination. Per DOL, “Any class of service employee not listed in the wage determination must be classified by the contractor to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e. appropriate level of skill comparison) between the unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. “

16. Ques�on: REF: Solicita�on, page 72-73 AC0110 Price Proposal Requirement, Solicita�on, Page 75, para (c). The solicita�on on pages 73-75 directs the offeror to submit detailed cost informa�on, in spreadsheet format, including man hours, materials, and other contract costs.

The solicita�on, page 75, para ( c), states that the offerors are not required to submit this informa�on in support of their price.

Please clarify which instruc�on to follow in preparing the Cost / Pricing Document.

Answer: As stated in paragraph (c), if “competition does not materialize, the Contracting Officer may require upon request “other than certified cost and pricing” deemed necessary to adequately evaluate the reasonable of the price.” Provision AC0110 has been deleted.

17. Ques�on: REF: Statement of Work, pages ii-iii, Table of Contents. Schedule B, Pricing.

Numerous errors are shown on the Table of Contents. Most no�ceable is the disparity of duty �tles of employees. The Price Schedule B shows �tles as site manager, Equipment Specialist, Supply Clerk and lead Stock Clerk. The Table of Contents shows labor categories that do not apply to this solicita�on.

Which labor categories, by DOL Occupa�on Code, are to be used to determine labor rates shown in the provided DOL Wage Determina�on Guide?

Answer: Revised SOW provided in amendment to solicitation. Not all occupations may be found in the Wage Determination. Per DOL, “Any class of service employee not listed in the wage determination must be classified by the contractor to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e. appropriate level of skill comparison) between the unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. “
