Responses to Questions from Potential Offerors:

1. Since there is no site visit of the facility, and based on the answers to Questions 2, 22, and 29 in Amendment 1, is it the Government's intent that the offeror provide only the fully-burdened hourly rates (instead of a firm fixed price) for the custodial services?

ANSWER: The Government will not instruct the offerors on how to specifically propose. Please review the RFP.

2. Based on the answers to Questions 1, 5, 6, 22, and 29 in Amendment 1, can the Government please provide a pricing schedule? Attachments 7 (Summary of Related Activities) and 9 (Breakdown of Proposed Estimated Cost [Plus Fee] and Labor Hours) appear to be for firm fixed price contracts.

ANSWER: Both Attachment 7 and 9 are cost reimbursement requirements. The Government is not proving a pricing schedule since this is a cost reimbursement type contract.
