1. Tiered FFP Structure: Will the Government accept a firm-fixed-price schedule tiered by task order duration to accommodate these varied scopes (e.g., Tier 1: Small Move [1–2 Days] and Tier 2: Large Move [3–4 Days])?

1. This will be a firm-fixed-price BPA. Please submit your quote using hourly rates. The specific quantity of labor hours will be specified on each BPA Call by the end user.

2. Material Degradation Risks: Does the old/damaged material present degradation risks such as fiber shedding, flaking, or delamination? If so, will a Price Realism evaluation be conducted to ensure all offerors have accounted for the necessary specialized safety overhead (e.g., respirators and particulate suits) within their proposed fixed task pricing?

1. The RAM is standard, non-hazardous polyurethane foam presenting no toxic degradation risks; request offerors include any standard safety PPE overhead within their proposed rates.
