Vendor Questions and Responses #4 10 June 2010

1. Can the contractor assume that none of the hours to be priced in Exhibit B “Repair replacement Labor Rates by Labor Category” have been anticipated to cover any portions of PWS Sections 1.8.2.6 and 1.8.2.7, as noted below, where the contractor is required to have a supervisory person in each lab and an administrative person in each lab to perform administrative duties and free the supervisor up to manage his/her work force. Where should the contractor price these personnel?

1.8.2.6. The contractor shall provide personnel at each of these five field locations to distribute workload, act as the point of contact for the QAPs regarding questions and information on the status of work, convey information to the QAPs regarding observed equipment condition that may impact long range user planning. The contractor personnel shall also oversee all work within the field office pertaining but not limited to, the maintenance of commercial or industrial electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment and user’s equipment as shown on the Equipment List.

1.8.2.7. The contractor shall provide personnel at each of these five field locations to perform all administrative-type duties within the field office such as, but not limited to, answering the telephone, maintaining inventories, maintain IAP paperwork, initiating material requests, allowing the supervisor to manage his/her work force and oversee on-going work activities

INITIAL RESPONSE: This appears to be a duplication of a question previously submitted. Reference question #39 on the Vendor Q&As #1 posted to FedBizOps on 21 May 2010. If you’re asking something different, please advise.

Vendor Clarification of Question #1: It is similar but we want to verify if any part of that effort {e.g.

hours for the supervisor and admin support personnel in each lab} should or could be covered by any of the hours referenced on Exhibit B.

CLARIFICATION RESPONSE: The estimated hours in Exhibit B for the T&M work do not include hours for the supervisor and admin support for each lab. As stated in the response to question #39 on the Vendor Q&A #1, it is a business decision on the part of the contractor where to include the costs associated with these positions.
