51 Excel attachments J-7B and J-7C account for 2 Program Manager labor categories, whereas the J-7D rate build-up tabs account for 1 program manager and 1 project manager. Please confirm J7-B and J7-C should match J-7D. DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol III J-7 N/A Please see revised Attachment J-7.

52 L.6.2.3.2(c)(6) regarding the J7-D Rate Build Up 1-7 instructions request “Each Offeror must input its rate build-up information for Years 1-7 for each labor category for non-Washington DC, GS and CS rates.” However the J-7D MS Excel Spreadsheet request for Washington DC Government Site and Contractor Site to be included. May the FAA confirm that J-7D reflect rate build ups for Washington DC? DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol III L.6.2.3.2(c)(6) L-15 Section L.6.2.3.2(c)(6) has been revised to the following "“Each Offeror must input its rate build-up information for Years 1-7 for each labor category for Washington DC, GS and CS rates.” The FAA confirmed that J-7D should reflect rate build ups for Washington DC.

53 The instructions for RFP attachment J-7 state “Labor rates with two decimal places must be entered into the Year 1 column of the pricing table. Rates for Year 1-7 will automatically be calculated using the annual escalation rates for Contract Year 1-7 entered into the cells indicated”. May the FAA allow offerors to modify the template to account for differences in the offerors DCAA approved escalation practices? DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol III L.6.2.3.2 L-15 Please see revised Attachment J-7.

54Task order pricing spreadsheets are included in attachment J-7 (Worksheets J-6A through D) while the same spreadsheets are also included in attachment J-8. Please clarify which attachment(s) offeror should use for task order pricing.DTFAWA-16-R-00024Vol IIIL.6.2.3.4L-16All task order pricing should be included on Attachment J-8. The other spreadsheets have been removed from J-7.
55In the first paragraph of Section L.6.2.4 of the SIR, the FAA notes contracts provided must be within the last 7 years. May Offeror include the specific contract period of performance in additional to the list of data requested by the FAA for past performance?DTFAWA-16-R-00024Vol IVL.6.2.4L-17,Yes.

DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol I Section C 14 ILSP's will be written and/or updated for systems within each of the Navigation Program Teams to include: Satellite Navigation's WAAS, Ground Based Navaids' DME and VORMON, and Lighting System's PAPI and RRCS. In addition, all future system procurements require an ILSP in accordance with the FAA Acquisition Management System Policy.

59 Attachment J-8 does not appear to differentiate between contractor and government site rates; will the FAA modify the format? DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol III J-8 N/A All Task Orders state that the place of location is a government site. No differentiation is needed at this time.

60 The Government intends to use the historical hours provided in attachment J-7 to calculate labor for TEP. Bidders are to propose both Contractor site and Government site labor rates. Will the Government provide Offeror’s the Contractor site and Government site hours that will be used to calculate the TEP? For example, there are 3,840 hours per year for a Librarian. Will the Government provide bidders guidance on what % of those hours will be multiplied by the contractor site rate and what % will be multiplied by the Government site rate for that category? DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol III and M 6.3 M-7 All hours will be considered Government Site and the TEP calculated accordingly. All labor categories without hours (including all Contractor Site rates) will be evaluated for reasonableness, but not included in the TEP.

61 SIR section M.6.3.1 states that part of the total evaluated price will be a product of, “the proposed fully- burdened labor rates for each category multiplied by the historical hours for each labor category provided by the FAA in Attachment J-7.” In cases where bidders are to provide labor rates for multiple levels of a labor category, how will the Government distribute hours for price evaluation among the levels? (see Air Traffic Specialist as an example) DTFAWA-16-R-00024 M 6.3.1 8 Please note that for labor categories in Attachment J-7.1 without hours, those rates will be reviewed for reasonableness and realism but not be included as part of the TEP.

62 Will the FAA revise the draft Task Order SOWs to clarify if a Task Order Lead and/or Project Manager will be required prior to the 12/16/2016 submission deadline or will the FAA allow the Offeror to assess, determine and propose whether a Project Manager or a Task Order Lead should be applied? DTFAWA-16-R-00024 C C.3.9.1.3 C-21 The Offeror is advised to use their best business acumen and expertise to determine the required labor categories and level of effort to fulfill the requirements of the statement of work.

63 Is the Attachment J-11 (FAA Non-Disclosure Agreement) applicable only to “Non-Government Personnel” whom are supporting the FAA’s NAVTAC II procurement efforts for the FAA and as a result may have exposure to nonpublic acquisition sensitive data, including but not limited to Source Selection data in accordance with L.4.11? DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol VI L.4.11 and Attachment J-11 L-8 and Attachment J-11 Removed Attachment J-11 Non-Disclosure Agreement.

64 Paragraph a) references the SF-33 to be completed and included in the Offeror’s proposal. Will the FAA provide the SF-33 to be completed? DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol VI L.6.2.6.5(a) L-21 Needs to be uploaded.

DTFAWA-16-R-00024 Vol VI L.6.2.6.5(b) L-21 Please complete the Reps and Certs in Section K.

66Section I includes AMS Clause 3.6.2-28 noting the Service Contract Act of 1965, as Amended (October 2014). The previous “draft” SIR established a Wage Determination Schedule in support of the AMS clause. May the FAA confirm that Wage Determination is no longer seen as applicable to this SIR?DTFAWA-16-R-00024IAMS Clause 3.6.2-28I-2The Wage Determination is no longer applicable to this SIR.
