Questions and Responses to Questions

Question 1: I know you have asked for an initial team session with quarterly follow-ups. The session is designed to improve the skills of individual members and the functioning of the team-how team members work together and how their team work enables them to identify and address agency priorities and gaps in business process.

A) Team building and skill development B) Identify and address Agency priorities and gaps in the business processes

Are both to be addressed in the same initial 2 to 3 day Advance session and the same three 1 – 2 day quarterly follow-up sessions? We typically address both in the same team session but as I was reading I was unsure as to whether or not these topics would be covered in separate sessions.

Response 1: It is not expected that these items will be resolved in one setting; it is expecting that these issues would be addressed over the year-long engagement at the recurring quarterly sessions.

Question 2: Most of the references in the solicitation refer only to, the executive leadership team (consisting off some 15 people) and the organization. Are there other departments within the organization? And how many people other than the top 15 are there in the organization?

Response 2: CSOSA has over 900 federal government employees; however, this initiative is focused on the Executive Leadership Team. Please visit www.csosa.gov for more information about the Agency.

Question 3: I have not been able to find the 2014 EVS. I have the OPM address provided in the proposal but cannot find the 2014 survey results. Can you help me with this please?

Response 3: The 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey may be downloaded from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) web site www.fedview,opm.gov. The image for the link from the web site is below. If you have any issues with the download link for the 2014 FEVS Government-Wide Management Report contact OPM through the Contact US link on that web page located on the the upper left side.

Question 4: Are there any other teams within the organization, the top team and the organization?

Response 4: Yes but this solicitation is soley for the Executive Leadership Team.

Question 5: On the 15 person top team does everyone report to the director, Ms. Ware?

CSOSA-15-R-0140 Amendment 002

Response 5: Yes. See Attachment J.1, Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) Leadership Team Organizational Chart dated Rev. 10-3-2014 in the solicitation that shows the organization structure.

Question 6: I am confused regarding the number of the advance sessions that this solicitation requires. I know there is an initial 2 to 3 day advance and quarterly follow-up 2 day advances (3) are referenced.

However on page 8 under DELIVERABLES OF PERFORMANCE 6) discusses the provision of a 1 to 2 day senior executive leadership staff advance. So are there 2 primary advances and then 3 quarterly follow-ups ? I know that this is late in the process but if you could please answer this for me I would really appreciate it.

Response 6: There is one initial 2-3 advance and three 1-2 day quarterly advances.
