M.6 Attach J.1(E)

Questions 37, 60, 61

The base period is (FY16) October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016. Q&A 37 states: For pricing purposes, use the CBA hourly rate for the initial year and then use the applicable CBA rates for the applicable option years. Upon award, the terms and conditions of the CBA will be in effect until the date of expiration.

Q&A 60 and 61 only states, “See attachment J.1.(E) Pricing Template is replaced in its entirety titled "Attachment 1(E) Pricing Template 1 5 8-Revised A0001.”

The instruction tab Revised Attachment _1 (E)_Pricing Template states: For the purpose of this solicitation, use the current CBA wage rates for FY 15 (10/1/14 - 9/30/15) as provided in the solicitation. The old Attachment 1(E) said to use 10- 1-15 to 9-30-16. M.6 Price Evaluation states: For evaluation and award purposes only, the offeror shall apply the published Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) for hourly wage and benefit rates for the period October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, for the base year and all option periods.

Offerors shall not incorporate any other direct labor rates into their price proposal for any period beyond September 30, 2015. The instructions in Attachment 1E and M.6 contradicts the answer for Q&A37. Some of the CBAs have last effective dates of 10-1-11 to 10-1-13.

Question/Request for Clarification: Please clarify instructions.

1) Are bidders to use current rates in CBA`s that apply to FY16 and for options years when available or listed in the CBA?

2) Are we to disregard Q&A 37 and use FY15 rates, if stated in the CBA, for base and all option years?

Section M is replaced in its entirety titled "M -SECTION M Revised A0002" and attachment J.1.(E) Pricing Template is replaced in its entirety titled "Attachment 1(E) Pricing Template 1 5 8-Revised A0002." See Revised Section M.6.

L.5.3(4.k) Attach J.8(A) Question 74

The Governments response to question 74 states "Volume II submissions shall include completed Attachment J.8(A) Past Performance Survey".

It is our understanding that the Government is requesting offerors to complete line items 1-9 then submit the survey to the referenced contract evaluator for completing line (10) Ratings section and then returned to the offeror for inclusion in their proposal. Past Performance Surveys are typically completed by the contract evaluator and submitted directly to the Government.

1. Please clarify that the offer should only include in their proposals Attachment J.8(A) Past Performance Survey with lines 1 thru 9 completed and that the contract evaluator will complete line (10) Ratings section of Attachment J.8(A) Past Performance Survey and send directly to the Government?

Volume II submissions shall include Attachment J.8(A) Past Performance Survey(s) completed in full. Do not send Past Performance Surveys directly to the Government. Offeror shall include surveys in the proposal.
