TThe RFP requires that firm-fixed prices be supplied for CLINS. To do this, bidders will have to make assumptions and provide details on how the estimate was prepared. This data will provide the Government with a clear basis for the estimates to determine the reasonableness and risk of each bid received.

Within the RFP Section L5.3, there is no place to include a basis of estimate/cost narrative.is of estimate/cost narrative.

Please indicate where in the Volume IV Price the basis of estimate or price narrative should be included, for example, as part of Section 2: Pricing Documents. The location of the narrative, supporting calculations, or other support for pricing is not clearly specified.

A BOE is not a required document, however if a contractor wants to provide one they may do so as long as it fits in the page limitations of Volume IV.

N/A Please indicate where in the Volume IV Price the basis of estimate or price narrative should be included, for example, as part of Section 2: Pricing Documents.

Please provide units of measure in column D, so that the bidders can estimate the costs of providing the required services. Without this data, only the incumbent will be able to provide accurate, and therfore, reasonable/realistic pricing.

Offerors Question Clarification: "This refers to the Excel file GARB F-TE WL Est- 20221208 tab F-TE2i tab which is contained in Attachment 10. When Attachment 10 is opened, it contains 3 spreadsheets, one of which is GARB F-TE WL Est- 20221208."

The construction wage tab has a number of positions, such as a laborer shaded grey, and instructions indicating that there are multiple groups within each labor category for which rates must be provided.

For those labor categories with multiple groups, please provide the percentage splits for the multiple groups. Without this, bidders will have substantially different rates that are not comparable and possibly be deemed unreasonable.

Only the incumbent has the historical data and, as such, has an unfair advantage in the development of pricing.

Individual rates in the group should be evenly spread when developing the composite rate. For example if 2 rates make up the composite, split the given rates 50-50 to develop a composite rate.

Attachment 4 &Attachment 14

N/A

The Union Collective Bargaining Act (CBA) stipulates the number of vacation days members receive based upon seniority with the preceding contract(s). These vacation days factor into the development of fringe rates and direct working hours in each year. The RFP does not provide any insights into the level of staff seniority, and only the incumbent has this data.

So that all bidders are using a similar basis, please provide an indication of average union employee seniority. If this is not possible, how will the Government determine the reasonableness of the rates?

The list will be provided to the successful offeror at the commencement of the new contract for determining employee eligibility for vacation or other fringe benefits per the FAR.
