Section Section Number Questions Answers

J J.1(A) General

The Government’s response to questions 47, 52, 67 and 70 (and all responses referencing these questions) may be confusing to offerors.

Question: Please confirm that, for CBAs that do not provide FY2016 rates, that Offerors are to use the provided CBAs rate for the most current period of performance for the base and option year pricing.

Yes.

J J.1(A) 3rd Circuit -

Virgin Islands CBA

Reference: The Government’s response to question 60

Clarification: The Government has advised Offerors to use only the CBA for price evaluation purposes. Therefore, please confirm that, in cases where state and local laws provide for benefit levels that are above those provided in the CBA and that cannot be waived per the law, Offerors will be granted a price modification after contract award to modify bill rates to incorporate these additional benefit levels, since Offerors are being advised to only follow the CBA and not incorporate these additional costs into their proposed rate. For example, Virgin Islands Labor Code recognizes more public holidays than are outlined in the CBA, and Labor Code, Preliminary, Section (m), provides that wages and benefits through a CBA must meet at least the minimum requirements of the Labor Code.

For evaluation purposes the provided CBA rates should be used. Upon award price adjustment may be requested in accordance with FAR 52.222-43, Fair

Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act – Price

Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts) as new CBA rates are published. (See Section M.6 - Price

Evalutation )

M M.6

Reference: The Government’s response to questions 60 and 131

Question: Please reaffirm that Section M.6 provides the definitive guidance on which hourly wage and benefit rates apply for proposal purposes.

Yes

L L.5.3.1

Reference: The Government’s response to question 140

Please see revised L - Section L, correcting reference to FY 2016… for the period October 1, 2016 through

September 30, 2017), for the base year and all option periods.

Clarification: The period referenced (October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017) in the Government's answer is FY 2017 not FY16. Accordingly please revise Section L.5.3.1 to reflect FY2017.

Please see revised L - Section L, correcting reference to

FY 2017… for the period October 1, 2016 through

September 30, 2017), for the base year and all option periods.

NOTE: These responses conclude the USMS's reponse to all submitted questions and no further questions will be accepted upon the posting of this amendement.
