Q1: Will the government please clarify if there is an incumbent providing service on this contract or is this level of effort a new need?

A1: This is a new requirement, there is not a current contract in place.

A2: N/A

Q3: Will the government be opposed to us providing 4 2‐bedroom apartments or 8 2‐bedroom apartments?

A3: Tenants will not share accommodations, so four 2‐bedroom apartments would not be allowed. 8 2‐bedrooms would qualify, however would likely exceed the cost for 1 bedroom apartments.

A4: As long as the accommodations meet the requirements as stated in the SOW, they will be considered for award.

Q5: Each course lasts approximately 3 months; at the end of each course, the 8 students will rotate with new students entering the course.

Will all 8 units need to be inspected? If unit(s) are all currently occupied by renters, will a walkthrough of one model unit suffice?

A7: All units must be compliant. A walkthrough of a model unit does not guarantee the units that the Government will occupy meet all building/fire codes.
