For the Option to Extend Services Tab, the CLIN 2001 Labor (FFP) Estimated Total Cost cell is protected and has a formula which puts in an amount which is half of the Option Year 2 amount. This cell should be unprotected and the formula taken out because, the extended period, as identified, has 8 out of the possible 11 holidays and, therefore, the proposed amount will be less than one half of the Option Year 2 amount because there are less direct hours in the subject period. Therefore, the contractor should be allowed to enter their proposed amount for this period. In addition the Rate cells in the side table have “0” entered and they are protected so amounts different from zero cannot be entered. These cells should be unprotected and the rates left blank, awaiting the contractor’s input.

ANSWER: The Rate cells have been corrected and unprotected for your input. However, the FFP cells of the Option To Extend Services Tab will not be unprotected. This sheet is for evaluation purposes only in order to meet the clause prescription.
