GOVT RESPONSE TO OFFEROR QUESTIONS

Tracking # RFP Reference Comment/Question Response

MAX-DIS-001 Section B, Page 10,19,28,36,44,53,of 126, Attch 7, Basic through Option 5 Schedule

DISCUSSION: RFP Section B lists CLINs X001 through X046 above the Target Cost Line. Attachment 7 Schedules list CLINs X001 through X040 above Target Cost, with a formula that sums said CLINs. The “definition” of Target Cost seems to conflict between the two schedules.

QUESTION: Will the Government provide a clear definition of the CLINs to be included in the Target Cost and/or revise the format of Section B to reflect the format coded in the Attachment 7 Cost Model?

The definition of Target Costs is the sum of all Fixed Price Incentive (Firm Target) CLINs, which include CLINs X0001 – X040. The Schedules worksheets on the revised Cost Model at Attachemnt 7 (to be incorporated with Amendment 0012) will include the definition of Target Costs which is to be applied to Section B and the Cost Model.

MAX-DIS-002 Sections B & L , Attch 6 Manpower Matrix & Atch 7 Cost Model

DISCUSSION: In the Summary, Example 1, there is a reference to Cost Reimbursable CLIN X044, Services for NAF "which should not be included" but does not specify from which model, Manpower Matrix or Electronic Cost Model, it is to be removed.

QUESTION: Does this exclusion refer to ATTACH 6 Manpower Matrix or to ATTACH 7 Electronic Cost Model?

Since the Cost Reimbursable CLIN X044, Services for NAF, is not included in the Total Evaluated Price, the total man-years (and corresponding total price) should be excluded from the totals on both the Manpower Matrix (Attachment 6) and the Cost Model (Attachment 7).

MAX-DIS-003 Section L, Atch 7 Cost Model

DISCUSSION: The instructions for change pages in the EN responses include change bars on the right side of the page. In XXXX's cost model, changes ripple through the model affecting other worksheets. With the changes impending due to Amendment 0012, ll b f XXXX l QUESTION: Is it necessary to place changes bars on all changes o is it sufficient to address the scope of the changes within XXXX's cost model in the EN responses?

It is sufficient to address the scope of the changes within your firm’s cost model in the EN responses provided that the scope of changes to the cost model and any other supporting worksheets is detailed enough to sufficiently track the changes in all the affected documents to include which specific files and worksheets are affected.

MAX-DIS-004 Section L, Atch 7 Cost Model

DISCUSSION: En references the use of a corrected cost model titled, ATTACH7MaxwellCost Model-1 Oct07 Amend 0012, dated 1 Oct 07, attached to amendment 0012.

QUESTION: The last amendment posted to FED BIZ OPS is Amendment 0011 dated 30 Aug 07. There is no Posting for Amendment 0012, not did we receive it via any other means.

Additionally, the date referenced in the EN is 1 Oct 07, which was approximately 2 weeks after submittal date of our proposal. Please Clarify.

Amendment 0012 was issued on 12 Mar 08. The revised Cost Model incorporated with Amendment 0012 is now dated 8 Feb 08.

MAX-DIS-005 Section L, Atch 7 Cost Model

DISCUSSION: The formulas in column D that sum the Prime and Subcontract cost are adding the Subcontract cost twice. For example, entering $100 in the ODC line for the Subcontractors results in a total of $100 in the Prime’s cost column, and would appear to be correct. However, all costs from columns B and C are then added across into column D. The $100 entered in the Subcontract column becomes $200 in the Prime and Sub column (column D) so that the Subcontract cost is added twice. We acknowledge that Section B appears to pull the information properly from the Schedule B worksheets and the effect of this double counting of the Subcontract cost does not carry forward. However, this double counting creates an inherent discrepancy between the Section B worksheets and the Schedule B worksheets supporting them.

QUESTION: Will the formula error in column D be corrected to eliminate the double counting of the Subcontract costs?

Please disregard Column D data. All necessary cost data to be evaluated is contained in Columns B & C. As you acknowledged, Section B pulls the correct information properly from the Schedule B worksheets so there is no double counting of costs to Section B.

MAX-DIS-006 RFP Section L.2.1 DISCUSSION: PWS explanations could be very lengthy.

QUESTION: Do the page limitations in RFP L.2.1 still apply for EN change page responses? Please Clarify.

Yes. There will be no change in page limitations.

MAX-DIS-007 RFP Section L DISCUSSION: The current due date of March 28, 2008 was based upon receipt of Amendment 0012 by March 10, 2008. In light of the fact that Amendment 0012 has not been posted yet, we request an extension of the current due date of March 28, 2008. Offerors must go out to subcontractors for revised proposals, conduct analysis and discussions of those proposals, make revisions to our proposal, conduct internal proposal audits and corporate reviews and allow for y m .

QUESTION: Will the Government consider an extension of the current due date of March 28, 2008 to allow for the noted delay in the receipt of Amendment 0012?

The EN response date is extended to 4 April 08, however, cut-off date for questions remains 19 Mar 08.

MAX-DIS-008 PWS DISCUSSION: AETC Enterprise Transformation will in essence remove the PWS requirements for the Maxwell IT Help Desk in April 08 and the Telephone Switchboard in July 08. Additionally, base housing was privatized at Maxwell-Gunter in October 07 and AVAY f ELS f m .

MAX-DIS-009 PWS para 4.2.a.1.c DISCUSSION: Majority of technical ENs received discuss meeting PWS requirements.

However, we are being requested to identify and fund these items. Please clarify whether or not the plugged number provided is intended to cover the costs of these items.

CLIN X042 is an estimated CLIN and funds may or may not be available. In accordance with H-029(b), “The contractor will be provided any supplies/materials at contract start that is left over from previous contract. Any additional supplies/materials for BOS or authorized customers shall be provided by the contractor. The contractor shall bid those costs into the target cost”. The CLIN X042 funds will not be used for this. In accordance with H-029(c), “The contractor shall provide replacement of government furnished commercial design general-purpose, special-purpose, base maintenance, and material handling vehicles necessary for contract performance by either purchase or lease. The contractor shall bid those costs in their target cost”. The CLIN X042 funds will not be used for this.
