Q&A – Amendment 3

This is a compiled list of common questions we have received in response to the solicitation.

1. Q: Is the 36.45% fringe listed in the solicitation based on the minimum wage or will it change if you pay higher wages?

A: The fringe benefit is for the purposes of showing the pay and benefits if the positions were federal civilian jobs. It is for informational purposes only, and is not to be considered as a wage determination.

2. Q: Will the fringe amount need to change annually or does it remain the same for all option years?

A: This is at the discretion of the offeror. We cannot determine for you the proper way to calculate your proposed pay rates and benefits. We can only cite the SCA/DOL regulations that must be followed as far as paying employees fair wages. Factoring in wage changes and inflation throughout the life of the contract is the duty of the offeror.

3. Q: Is paid time off included in this fringe percentage or is there an expectation for additional money for this benefit?

A: The fringe benefit is for informational purposes only. The amount included in the statute includes all benefits afforded to the positions if they were federally hired civilian positions.

Note to offerors:

Please ensure you are in compliance with the entire solicitation and all provisions and statutes cited therein.
