ID Reference Question/Comment Response

45 SOW Section C-1, Table 1-2

The mentioned table lists Avon Park, Belle Fourche ESS, Poinsett EC and B&G, RIIS, and Snyder ESS as optional sites.

Will the Government please explain the rationale for listing these as optional and provide some assurance that if a site in not exercised during one contract option year, that it will not be exercised in any subsequent year? Due to the nature of the equipment maintained on these sites, bringing a site back on-line after closing it down presents a nearly insurmountable risk to the contractor. Once the trained/qualified workforce is dispersed, it will be very difficult to reconstitute a trained/qualified workforce within any reasonable timeframe. Can the Government assure bidders that the situation described above will not occur?

These sites are listed as optional due to uncertainty of funding during the current debate on DoD funding. If an option is not exercised, the government does not intend to exercise an out year option. If the decision is made to reopen a site in later years it will have to be separately negotiated due to the pre-existing conditions changing.

Does Avon Park, which is a Class B/C range, utilize a remotely located RCO?

A Class B/C range by definition does not have a RCO. Scoring systems for the south conventional range are located in the former RCO tower.

47 Collective Bargaining Agreements

Previous CBAs included an employee seniority listing which included original hire date. This is important for new offerors in order to know who much non-productive labor to build into their pricing. Can seniority listings for each location be provided?

Not less than 10 days prior to completion of any contract being performed at a Federal facility where service employees may be retained in the performance of the succeeding contract and subject to a wage determination which contains vacation or other benefit provisions based upon length of service with a
