Pre-Proposal Conference Minutes

Grafton Job Corps Center

N. Grafton, MA

April 16, 2009

The following are the minutes of the Pre-proposal Conference for the operation of the Grafton Job Corps Center as published in RFP: DOLJ08RFP00007

The Pre-Proposal Conference was conducted at 10:00 a.m. (EST-local time).

Mr. Tom Pendleton welcomed everyone to the conference and introduced the Government’s representatives and their role in the procurement activity.

Mr. Pendleton asked all attendees to write their contact information on the sign-in sheet.

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.

Mr. Pendleton noted the following;

· Proposals are due on June 8, 2009 at 12 noon. Submittal date and time will be established upon being time stamped by the OASAM office (JFK Federal Building, room 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.

· Mr. Pendleton conveyed that there would be an amendment regarding J-22 Attachment to include RFI 07-08, 2nd Revision which would replace RFI 06-04 and two additional RFIs would be added as follows: RFI 08-04 – Revised Region I RIMS Reporting Requirements and RFI-08-05 – Boston Region CTT Career Ladder/Lattices Training Guide. See attachment J-22.

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

Question:

Mr. Weber had a question on page 3 under Section B regarding the Grafton Center’s Outreach and Admissions arrivals of a minimum of 300 in comparison to the center’s arrival goals of 170 on page 22 under Section F. It was clarified that the center’s arrival goals should be 170 instead of 300 which didn’t match the GAP Plan. The Amendment #1 to the RFP would include this change to correct the 300 on page 3 and replace it with 170.

A walkthrough of the Grafton Job Corps Center was performed immediately following the conference. After the walk-through of the Grafton Center, the meeting was adjourned.

There were no further questions and Mr. Pendleton informed all attendees that following this conference, all questions regarding the RFP should be sent in writing to Binh Kha, Contract Specialist, email kha.binh@dol.gov.

The Pre-Proposal conference ended at 11:30am.
