14.

Page 21, 5.6.3 Tab 2 Scope of Work Narrative states, “This section of the Respondent’s Proposal must fully address in detail Respondent’s plan for carrying out the services outlined in Attachment A, Scope of Work.”

Attachment A is the Standard Contract. Please confirm this should be Section

15.

The RFP notes positions with the same title but different duties. Will OAG provide current job descriptions for each incumbent even with same title so we can ID the differences? Yes.

Please clarify whether award is based on highest total score or lowest responsive proposal, because Sections 6 and 7 appear to use different award language. See Answer to Question #5.
