M002 b.4

M002 b4 states, “The ICS approach will be evaluated for traceability to the Sample Problem Requirements ……”. However, the Sample Problem Instructions (Attachment L-1) makes no reference to ICS requirements.

Furthermore, Section L (Attachment 8), paragraph 4.3, only requires a discussion of the offeror’s approach to organizational and depot level support including a discussion of how OEM and subcontractor relationships will be established to ensure robust organizational and depot level maintenance is provided. However, the PWS for FPS4 (Attachment 7) does provide ICS requirements including organizational level, help desk, on-site repair and maintenance, depot level and ICS/CLS spares and repair parts. Attachment 7 paragraph 3.1 also states that the specific level of support and performance objectives will be identified in the applicable DO PWS. Please provide the specific level of support and performance objectives required by the Sample Problem so that offerors responses may provide the desired traceability to those requirements.

Attachment 2, DD Form

Block 1b and

Continuation Pages

The DD Form 254 requires SECRET Safeguarding (Block 1b); however, within the Continuation Pages it states the safeguarding of classified information will not be required for all Delivery Orders. Would the Government consider removing the requirement for SECRET safeguarding on this DD Form 254 (at the IDIQ level), and apply it only on subsequent DD Form 254 for Delivery Orders under which safeguarding actually will be required?

When DOs are issued the contractor will be required to fill out a DD254 which will reflect the level of safeguarding when appropriate.

176 Section L Section L, 2.2, 2.2.1

In Attachment 8 (Section L), 2.2.1, the RFP states that the Sample Problem Attachments are excluded from page count (minus Attachment 6, which has a one page limit); however, previously in Section L, 2.2, it states that Sample Problem Attachments 1-6 do not have a page count. The Attachment 7 (Small Business Participation Description listed in Attachment 8, page 13) is the only section of Volume II that has a one-page count. Does the Government mean that Attachments 1-6 are excluded from page count, and that Attachment 7 is included in the 20-page count for Volume II Technical?

Clarification will be in forthcoming Amendment to fix inconsistency.

Attachment 6 is a 1-page maximun

177 Section L Section L, 3.1.2

In Attachment 8 (Section L), 3.1.2, the RFP states that the existing RA Fence does not meet A1 chain link fence standards but does not clearly state whether the design of the replacement of the fence is a part of the sample problem scope. Is it the intent that the Type A1 fence design be included in the scope of the sample problem?

Further clarification will not be provided

Technical Volume II- Sample Problem, Attachments to Sample Problem (IFPP, Section L, Attachment 6 - Contract Work

Breakdown Structure

(CWBS)

Attachment 6 states that offerors will adhere to the PWBS structure when developing a proposed CWBS and that beyond the summary PWBS, offerors have the flexibility based on the proposed implementation approach. It further states that when the offeror extends the CWBS below levels identified in attachment L-4, the offeror must amend the WBS dictionary to provide definitions at the lower levels. Since the L-4 dictionary does not provide definitions at the level 3 PWBS, we assume the flexibility to extend the PWBS includes adding level 3 tasks as well as levels below level 3 (levels 4 and 5). Please note that allowing the level 3 PWBS to be extended to include additional level 3 tasks will significantly reduce the size of the CWBS as well as the corresponding IMS and BOEs, easing Government review requirements substantially. For example under “1.1 PL-1 Restricted Area” adding 1.1.14 Management at Level 3 reduces the size of the CWBS because it would be very repetitive at the 4th level WBS. Please confirm that contractors have the flexibility to add tasks at the PWBS level 3, as well as adding tasks at the CWBS levels 4 and 5 if needed.

Yes, per Section L, Section 4.4.4 Attachment 6, offerors have flexibility in modifying the provided PWBS as long as rationale for the change is provided and that the CWBS format directly correlates with BOEs

The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) described in the Sample Problem (Attachment L-4) is inconsistent with the WBS presented in the Sample Contract and seems incomplete (e.g., it does not include any program management, ICS, etc.). We believe it would better suit the Government’s interests if the Sample Problem WBS was consistent with the Sample Contract for clarity, completeness, efficiency, and continuity, as well as providing a more realistic evaluation basis. We request the Government revise the Sample Problem requirements such that the WBS developed for it is consistent with the Sample Contract.
