SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Questions and Answers pt. 2

Supplementary Question Specific to 15, 17 and 30

Please clarify whether resumes for all personnel are required as part of the response to this RFP, or would the resumes for all personnel listed in the RFP be required after the award of the task order. In other words, is the contractor expected to present, as part of its proposal, a resume for all “27 to 33” positions identified in RFP number

FA7014-10-R-0020?

Supplementary Question Specific to 18 and 25 Above

We understand the roles and responsibilities of Joint Venture relationships, however our question was specific to a Prime/Subcontractor relationship. In other words, we are not creating a new and separate legal entity to pursue the FAP West contract. We are pursuing the FAP West contract in a Prime/Subcontractor relationship, where two separate entities have agreed to jointly pursue this contract effort. Therefore, the answer and reference to the SBA rule is not applicable to answering the questions posed above. Please clarify whether it would be deemed “Technically Acceptable” if the Prime does not possess the required two years experience with FAP services”, but yet its teaming partner does. In other words, the team brings the required 2-years of FAP specific experience.

Q. 4. Answer states: The Technical Capability response can be submitted via CD with unlimited pages. If you submit via hard copy you are limited to 10 pages.

Page 55, 3. Part III, 3. of the solicitation gives the specifications of 12 pt, on company letterhead, double spaced and shall not exceed 10 pages and 6. states 2 hard copies are required and 1 soft copy.

Is the $14,000,000 incumbent bill rate for 5 yrs?

Do we have to provide 5 or 27-33 CVs?

Is it correct that we can provide unlimited pages if the Technical is submitted on a CD?

Is the Draft Quality Control plan going to be an evaluating factor and does this count as part of the 10 pages allowed?

Answers

Clarification on the questions for FAP West

1. Page limits

The technical factor – 10 page limit Resumes- 5 page limit (one page per resume) Submission on CD is not unlimited and must follow same rules for length and format as the hard copy.

Total pages: 15

2. Resumes to provide

Five (5) resumes. One resume per position for the evaluation i.e. (FAPA, FAN, FATM, FAOM, FAIS) If contractor is awarded contract for FAP West the first task order will have 33 FTEs. We will require a resume for each FTE after award.

Total Resumes: 5

3. Joint Venture

This is a competitive 8(a) requirement. Teaming arrangements that result in a new legal entity (such as a joint venture) must be in compliance with the solicitation and approved by SBA prior to solicitation close date. In a prime/subcontractor relationship the PRIME contractor must exclusively hold two years experience in FAP services.

Example Only:

Company A (PRIME) = one year experience Company B ( SUB) = one year experience

NOT ACCEPTABLE

Company A (PRIME) = two or more years experience Company B (SUB) = one or more years

ACCEPTABLE

4. Quality Control Plan

A quality control plan must be in the proposal but is not an evaluation factor for award.

5.Incumbent contract total

$14,000,000.00 is the total value of the current contract over the past five years.

However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.
