DTFAWA-17-R-00018

Amendment 00004

Questions and Answers

1. The Exhibit A was not included in the revised J-11. Please provide the Exhibit A in Excel format.

Response to Question #7 states Section B Exhibit A Excel format is available in Attachment J.11 included within Amendment 0003. Exhibit A is not included.

Section B is amended to indicate that it will be filled-in at the time of award.

2. SIR Section F.3 references contract award + 90 however L.6.1.4 states “commence service within 30 days of contract award.” Is the transition period 30 days or 90 days?

Section L states a 30 day transition for ensuring that personnel and processes are in place to commence service within 30 days of contract award. Section F.3 states the 12-month base period begins at contract award. Section C states Contractor must be prepared to fully commence work on the start date of this contract. Will the Government clarify the transition period and when service commences?

Section F.3 was amended (Amendment 00003) to remove reference to a 90 day transition. The PM and Call Center FFP components begin performance the date of award, but the field labor and logistics sparing necessary to meet the RtS requirements may require a 30 day ramp up and then a fluid transition period. Section C. 2.1.7 addresses the directions letter and positive contact with each facility that the vendor must have completed within 30 days. The 30 day period is included to allow for the contractor to contact these facilities and coordinate future communications.

3. We recommend that the Program Control Specialist and Program Management Specialist be included in the LCATs as these functions are critical to managing the program and the skillsets are not covered by any other LCAT.

Offerors may utilize labor categories at their discretion for the completion of requirements falling under firm-fixed-priced CLINs.

4. Will the FAA please amend the J-11 workbook to include additional columns for overhead and fee? Column F cannot be changed.

Amendment 3 Questions 39 and 55 indicate that the Offeror is to provide their fully burdened rate plus fee in Attachment J11. The Attachment J11 provided with the Amendment does not allow this. The Government provided Attachment J11 is currently protected and has an embedded formula in Column F that does not represent Offerors fully burdened rate plus fee

DTFAWA-17-R-00018

Amendment 00004

Column F should be an input of fully burdened rates, not a calculation. Attachment J-11 is amended to remove the formula from the column.
