Question 3: Will the government confirm that the offerors technical response per evaluation factor

M.2.a.1 should only address the SOW requirements in C.4.B (Research Projects) and does not require a response to the 22 technical items listed in

C.4.A (General Types of work to be accomplished)?

Response: Section M.2 (a) 1 states “Demonstrated knowledge and experience of the Offeror in the area of highway hydraulics research as it relates to national hydraulics functional areas (see

Section C.4 B) and in managing hydraulics laboratory research efforts.” Offerors need to address all SOW requirements since “managing hydraulics laboratory research efforts” refers to Section C.4 A.
