Sheet1 RFP # 74330224R0033: Fabrication IDIQ

RFP Page #5 - labor rates for key personnel that are typically involved in exhibit design "Graphic Designer, Researcher, Exhibit Evaluator, Exhibit Writer/Editor" are included to allow for the 10% redesign. The majority of the project teams should be focused on fabrication 4 I see the title of the RFP indicates that this project is fabrication only, but the general description mentions Exhibit Consultation, Exhibit Planning, Exhibit Design, Exhibit Evaluation, Exhibit Planning and Design Project Management, Exhibit Planning and Design Quality Assurance, Exhibit Fabrication Project Management, and Exhibit Fabrication Quality Assurance. Does the project team need to be capable in all of these disciplines, or is it possible to submit a proposal for only some of these disciplines? The RFP is primarily focused on the functions related to exhibit fabrication with the exhibit design being produced by a separate contract and furnished by the government at the start of a fabrication task order. However, some fabrication scopes may include a 5-10% accommodation for redesign so capability in graphic design adjustments, for example, is a plus.

The bidders do not have to provide capabilities in all disciplines but should cover those central to exhibit fabrication and exhibit fabrication project management at a minimum.
