QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR SOLICITATION GS-07P-13-HH-D-0034, IDIQ

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR & ALTERATION SERVICES FOR THE

STATE OF LOUISIANA

QUESTIONS SUBMITTED VIA E-MAIL: Answers are in RED TEXT.

QUESTION: Please advise if offerors will be subject to sales tax on awarded task orders?

ANSWER: Once awarded a contract, contractors will be provided with a tax exempt letter for them to show to their suppliers, but this does not guarantee suppliers will honor

it. If the letter is not accepted, contractors are responsible for paying taxes whether or not they account for them in the pricing they provide to us. It is a business decision of the contractor whether or not to include sales tax in the line items. Please review FAR Part 29 for further details.

QUESTION: The Hypothetical Project estimate spreadsheet asks for offerors to break out overhead and profit. This is inconsistent with the RFP guidelines and Amendment 1, RFI Question #2C clarification stating that overhead and profit should be included within each line item on the Line Item Pricing Sheet. This error leads to redundant mark-up on the hypothetical project and possibly redundant mark-up on future task orders assuming the price schedules are similar. Please clarify how offerors should proceed to avoid this problem.

Possible Solution - Should offeror's state "Included in Line Items" for overhead and profit on the Hypothetical Project estimate spreadsheet?

ANSWER: You are correct; the line items MUST include overhead and profit. However, the hypothetical SOW is independent of line items and the pricing and overhead breakout is consistent with any other estimating procedure used in industry. Please keep in mind that there will be task orders issued against this contract that are not line item work. Those orders will be competed and negotiated as lump sum RFQs. Your response/proposal for the hypothetical SOW will be utilized as an evaluation factor of your technical proposal. Under this factor, your hypothetical proposal will be evaluated to determine your understanding of the hypothetical requirement, your plan to successfully complete the SOW, and your thoroughness in responding to the requirement.
