Amendment to RFP DOLJ07RFP0003

Amendment to Solicitation for New Haven Job Corps Center

RFP~DOLJ07RFP0003

The solicitation is amended to reflect the outcomes of the pre-solicitation meeting and facility walk-through that was conducted on January 25, 2008.

Minutes of Meeting:

At 10:00am, meeting called to order by E. Thomas Pendleton, Contracting Officer, U.S. Department of Labor/OASAM. Tom Pendleton welcomed everyone to the conference and introduced the Government’s representatives and their role in the procurement activity. Mr. Pendleton then announced that following this conference, any and all questions regarding the RFP should be sent in writing to Binh Kha, Contract Specialist, Email kha.binh@dol.gov. Mr. Pendleton also stated that all changes to the RFP would be issued in writing as an amendment to the RFP and publicized accordingly.

Clarifications:

Mr. Pendleton reviewed RFP content, terms, conditions, instructions and evaluation criteria, noting several specific items:

1. Proposals are due on March 10, 2008 at 12 noon. Submittal date and time will be established upon being time stamped by the OASAM office (JFK Federal Building, Room E-215). Tom asked all attendees to note that packages arriving by currier and mail/delivery are all screened by the building security and that this may cause a delay in being received in his office – and so, offerors are asked to take this potential delay into consideration when submitting proposals and allow for additional delivery time.

2. On page 32, Mr. Pendleton wanted the attendees to pay close attention to Section G for Liquated Damages, since this has become a major issue in Job Corps.

3. An electronic copy of attachment of J17 National Staff Compensation Report Data will be provided on the 1st Amendment.

4. Proposal page limitations are listed on page 114.

5. The attendees were asked to pay close attention to page 116 for Admissions on the RFI.

6. The RFP contains questions specific to Region One and answers should address this.

7. The BMP must be submitted electronically using Excel 2000 or newer version. The hard copy of these BMP will be used whenever there is a discrepancy between the hard copy and electronic versions.

8. The RFP uses an inflationary rate of 2.4%, this may be subject to change, and if so, will be part of an amendment.

9. Page 129 Section G should be provided on a CD.

10. Oral presentations, for selected offerors, will be the week of May 27, 2008. The presentation team can be no more than five people. Each offeror will have a maximum of 1 hour and will provide 10 copies.

Amendments:

1. On block 10 of the RFP, please note we forgot to include the contact information. See Block 10 on the Face Page of this amendment for the information.

2. Page 134 Section M, Mr. Pendleton pointed out that the Government may award a contract on the basis of initial proposal received, without discussion or any opportunity to make an oral presentation. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint.

A walkthrough of the New Haven Center was performed immediately following the conference. At the conclusion of the walkthrough only one question was asked about the Union Agreement?

There is a Union Agreement and that agreement is included with the handouts.

Conclusion:

Mr. Pendleton noted that if any contractor called the New Haven Center asking for a walkthrough, they needed to be directed to contract Mr. Tom Pendleton. There were no further questions and the meeting was adjourned at 11:00am.
