Attachment 1: Questions and Answers

OA/CTS has been removed from the list of discussion topics for the oral presentation. Please clarify whether the oral presentation is to address Outreach, Admissions, and Career Transition Services.

A: See Amendment 0003

Paragraph d states that Offerors must “provide their own equipment” for the oral presentation. Paragraph h states “media projection provided.” Please clarify if a projector will be available for use during the oral presentations.

A: A projector will be available for use during the oral presentataion.

The table with format requirements for written sections includes the statement, “the organizational chart may exceed the 8 ½” to 11”. If the chart exceeds 8 ½” x 11”, then the Government will consider it as one page.”

It is our understanding based on Section L instructions that the organizational chart is only part of the Staff Resources section, which is to be submitted only on Slides. Please confirm, or clarify which written section this instruction regarding the organizational chart refers to.

A: In the event the offeror wants to include an organizational chart in its business management proposal the government will consider it as one page.

Please clarify the instruction to submit proposals electronically to “JobCorpsLockBox.gov.” If this is an e-mail address, it appears to be incomplete (i.e., missing the @ part of the address). If it is a website, we are unable to locate it.

A: The address is Job-Corps-OCM-LockBox@dol.gov

Section L.6.I states “Please note that the page limitation for the staff resources section excludes…” Please confirm that these exclusions apply to the slide limitation, as there is no written section for Staff Resources with a page limitation.

A: See Amendment 0003

Please clarify the number of CDs to be submitted. Is it one CD per proposal section (Technical, Staff Resources, Offerors Relevant Experience, Past Performance, Business Management Proposal)? Or all proposal sections on one CD? Or one CD for the BMP and one for the other four sections?

A: All proposal sections are on one CD.

Please clarify the requirement for APA format citations. What type of information requires a citation?

A: Per Amendment 0002 any sources used in the creation of the proposal.

Recommend excluding metrics and data from Job Corps systems and reports.

A: Per Amendment 0002 this would be classified as publically available government documentation.

Recommend limiting this requirement to the White Paper.

A: See Amendment 0003

Please validate which trades are Center operated and which trades are operated by the NTC?

A: Per amendment 0002 attachment J-5 lists the trades operated by the NTC.

In order to allow sufficient time to adjust proposals based on Amendment 0002 and the Q&A, please consider granting a two-week extension to the due date to July 6, 2016 (electronic) and July 7, 2016 (hard copy).

A: See Amendment 0003

Page 12 of the Amendment 2 states: "Please note, that the page limitation for the staff resources section excludes cover pages/slides, tables of contents, the staffing chart provided in accordance with Section J of this RFP, resumes, staff schedules, and position descriptions.". Given the fact we are not required to submit a written proposal, other than slides, for the Staff Resources portion of the proposal, how would you like us to submit the resume, position description, and staff schedules?

A: See Amendment 0003
