Attach 4 Pricing CLIN 0003 Can you explain the reasoning for the travel costs – are you wanting the Mileage cost per person as per JTR per person from Moody AFB to Training site?

The cost for six vehicles (four GOVs and two POVs) will be calculated at the current JTR mileage rate of $0.67 per mile, with a maximum travel distance of 400 miles.

According to question 2. Price on Sam.Gov The government would like us to calculate Mileage and per diem for 20 personnel. This is something we have never done in the past.

Do you want the milage from Moody AFB, GA to Raeford, NC one way or round trip and is this for one car? Also, For Per Diem according to the JTR Raeford NC Per diem is $178 per person. Also, local meal rate is $63.

However, we quoted $110 for lodging in our quote.

Please advise how you want this calculated.

For one person or 20, plus how many cars will travel

Mileage: The cost for six vehicles (four GOVs and two POVs) will be calculated at the current JTR mileage rate of $0.67 per mile, with a maximum travel distance of 400 miles.

• Lodging and Meals: The JTR per diem rates for the training location will apply, and the total cost must not exceed the specified JTR rates for lodging and meals for 20 personnel.
