Page 13 of the Q&A states that for the purpose of budgeting, offerors are required to budget the key personnel costs under objectives 3 and

5. This contradicts Q&A page 3 where “USAID confirms that key personnel compensation and allowances should be allocated to the CPFF services.” Since the CPFF services include not only objectives 3 and 5, but also optional services, please confirm that the key personnel costs should be allocated to all three components of the CPFF services (i.e., objectives 3 and 5 and optional services) or to only objectives 3 and 5.

Offerors are required to budget the key personnel costs under the objective 3 and 5 CPFF budget only.

The cover letter in the revised RFP states that the estimated cost of the CPFF portion of the contract is between $500,000 and $2,500,000. However, the RFP section B.3.1.(a) states that the total estimated cost plus fixed fee for the performance of services related to objectives 3 and 5 is between $500,000 and $2,500,000 and the estimated CPFF budget for the optional service is between $1M and $5M.

If the CPFF portion includes not only objectives 3 and 5, but also optional services (between $1 million and $5 million), the revised cover letter is incorrect. Please clarify.

The cover letter has been amended to clarify that the total estimated cost plus fixed fee portion of the contract is between $1,500,000 and $7,500,000 – range of between $500,000 and $2,500,000 for objectives 3 and 5 tasks and between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 for the optional service.
