# SECTION TITLE QUESTION Government Response 29 Cost Will the Government consider providing offerors with incumbent staff salary, seniority, and demographic information?

The government will not be providing this information to offerors.

30 Cost Would the Government consider providing more details on the ODC plug-in number, open transaction, the number of transactions, value and frequency of PRs and POs, nature of subcontracts (such as maintenance, billing preferences, training, equipment, materials, etc.)? This will help offerors determine the amount of management support required to fulfill this function.

The government will not be providing this ODC detail to offerors.

31 Cost There happens to be an inconsistency between the 5% Award Fee Rate, the Award Evaluation Period Table, and the 8% maximum award fee rate. Please explain.”

All award fee rates are plug in numbers. The actual award fee will be negotiated prior to award.

32 General Would the government consider a 2 week extension on the submission deadline based on the requirements of Oral presentation with a demonstration of the proposed MIS? The Draft RFP indicated that a 60 day response window was going to be offered.

33 Attachment L-3 Cost Model

Award Fee Calculation from ‘L-3e Total Cost’ tab

The Award Fee percentage entered in cell C308 gets applied towards the ‘AWARD FEE Base’ in row 306 for each year of the contract.

The ‘AWARD FEE Base’ formulas for each contract year in row 306 only include the Labor Costs for the Prime & Interdivisional Labor cost through G&A and does not include any of the subcontractor costs.

In Section B, the Descriptive Data for CLINs X002, ‘Technical Effort (Direct Labor)’ state that the CLIN should include “…(both Prime and Subcontractor Labor)…” while CLINs X004, Award Fee’ states “The award fee pool consists of ___% of total labor costs for

CLIN X002”.

Will the Government please correct the Award Fee Base formula in Row 306 of the ‘L-3e Total Cost’ tab to include Subcontractor costs so that the award fee will be applied to both prime and subcontractor labor?

Award Fee is only applied to Direct Labor

The descriptive data for X002 CLINs will be updated to remove "(both Prime and Subcontractor Labor)" at contract award.

There will be no updates to Section L attachment L-3e as it is accurate as provided.

34 General The Questions & Answers Set #1 to the ASTROS RFP, Answer #9, indicates that the Engineering Technician categories I-IV represent 76.13% Davis Bacon labor. Would the Government please provide the specific Davis Bacon labor categories with corresponding work share percentages that make up the 76.13% so that Offerors may develop direct labor rates that represent the expected work to be performed on this effort.

Absent this information to Offerors provides the incumbent contractor an unfair advantage.

Within the RFP, Davis Bacon Rates (model contract Attachment 2), service contract act wage determination (model contract attachment

3) and a snap shot in time of the technical job titles with FTE's (section L Attachment 4) are provided. All offerors are to bid to this information as presented in the RFP.
