1 Amendment 0001

CRM

Critical In regards to the line item 49 in the CRM dated 13 Jan 2020:

PO Response: The Government has updated the ITO to indicate that all proposal documents shall be at a minimum of 11 point font. This translated into an update in Section L Section 2.2.7 Page Size and Format that reads “Text in tables, charts, graphs and figures shall be no smaller than 11 8 point font Arial or Times New Roman.”

This is a large change that will affect all bidders and every document that has been constructed with a consistent instruction since the DRFP of 8pt font being acceptable for text in tables, charts, graphs and figures.

Suggest the government reconsider the font size for text in tables, charts, graphs and figures to be no smaller than 8 point font Arial or Times New Roman per the instructions throughout the DRFP and FRFP. The government then could add an additional instructions on font size for Excel spreadsheets, or add the term Excel Spreadsheet into the instructions with the requested no smaller than 8pt font limit.

A ITO Paragraph 2.2.7 text will be changed within Amendment 2

From:

"Legible tables, Excel data files, charts, graphs and figures shall be used wherever practical to depict organizations, systems and layout, implementation schedules, plans, etc. These displays shall be uncomplicated, legible and shall not exceed 11 x 17 inches in size. Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the volume, count as a single page, and are counted as part of the total page count. Foldout pages (11 x 17) are to be used to display information more clearly than would otherwise be possible on an 8.5 x 11 inch page. Foldout pages (11x17) may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics, not for pages of text. Text in tables, charts, graphs and figures shall be no smaller than 11 point font Arial or Times New Roman. These limitations shall also apply to all electronic copy proposals."
