# RFP Ref. Question/Comment Response Amend # 175 L4.6 The Government writes: “The fee for Task Orders 1and 2 will be input on the Tab 2. IAW FAR 15.404-4(c) For other cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, the fee shall not exceed 10 percent of the contract’s estimated cost, excluding fee.” Does the Government intend to write “for other CPFF Task Orders that are on this contract”? Will the Government please clarify whether or not the fee on Task Orders 1 and 2 establish the maximum fixed fee on future TOs?

No, the fee on task orders 1 and 2 does not establish a maximum fee on future task order. The Group C awardee will propose fee for each future task order.

176 Atch 3 In the revised Amendment 0002 pricing template, there appears to be an error on Tab 4 – Task Order 2 – SOFM. The formula in cell I24 is missing. This cell sums the CFY 2015 and CFY 2016 travel. Does the Government desire the Contractor to put in the necessary formula to sum the two travel amounts?

Attachment 3 Revision 3 will be issued via Amendment 0003. 03

177 We identified formulas related to subcontractor pricing that appear to be incorrect. Specifically, the template contained several areas where the formula should apply the subcontractors indirect rates, but the formula applies the prime’s indirect rates on top of the sub-contractor T&M rate. This results in double counting when the prime’s G&A rate is also applied to the subcontractor fully burdened rate.

This occurs in several places; as an example, see column AC row 52 of worksheet “Amend_01_Atch_3_Pricing_Rev_1_8-22-2014” at the “4 - Task Order 2 – SORDAC” tab.

The Pricing Template utilizes a TCI base for the application of the G&A rate. Therefore, the prime's G&A rate is applied to the subcontractor's fully burdened labor cost. If the Offeror uses another acceptable allocation base for G&A, the template must be adjusted to meet the contractor's indirect rate allocation methodology.

178 Acctg System Inquiry regarding subcontractors and adequate accounting system. The adequate accounting system determination required for use of a cost-reimbursement type contract is at the prime contract level.

A 1408 is not required for subcontractors.

N/A

179 L1.4 L 1.4 – Electronic Proposal Submission it states that the submission can be only four files. How can Volume III be only one file as we have to provide cost narrative, which could all be converted to pdf, but it, also, includes the Attachment 3, which is an Excel file?

Amendment 0003 will delete the sentence regarding attachments. 03

180 Amend 02 Would the J8S work be added back to group C, possibly even after contract award?

The J8S task order was removed from the RFP; it is still anticipated to be a Group C requirement.
