H92240-17-T-0007 Questions and Answers:

1) Can you please clarify the following from the PWS?

“In the event that courses are anticipated to overlap, the Contractor shall combine courses and manage the daily schedule of events to accommodate the increased learning environment.

4.1.3 Stennis, MS: Human Resources Orientation for Employees/2 days Date: 7 – 8 August 2017

4.1.4 Stennis, MS: Human Resources Management for Supervisors/2 days Date: 9 – 10 August 2017

4.1.5 Stennis, MS: Leadership for Nonsupervisory Employees/1 day Date: 9 August 2017

4.1.6 Stennis, MS: Interviewing Strategies for Today’s Leaders/1 day Date: 8 August 2017”

I'm not clear how Interviewing Strategies would be combined with an HR Orientation, nor how a Non-Supervisory Leadership course would be combined with HR Management for Supervisors.

Is your intent that the courses would be held simultaneously but in two separate classrooms with two instructors, or are you really planning on throwing all the people in the same room and having the instructor try to cram together both courses for all of them.

Answer: The intention is for the courses to be held simultaneously but in two separate classrooms with two instructors.

2) Is there any flexibility in changing the dates of these courses to a later date?

Response: The courses are tentatively scheduled for those identified dates, however, these are subject to change.

3) Will the contractor have access to information regarding current benefits, compensation and recognition opportunities to support and incorporate into course curriculum?

Response: The instructors will be informed on current benefits, compensation, awards, and other federal incentives.

4) Per Addendum to 52.212-1, the instructions under Volume III Price identify that the Quoters shall submit one original signed copy of the completed Standard Form (SF) 33? Do you mean SF 1449?

Response: Per Amendment 0001, these instructions have been revised to correctly state SF1449 for Volume III submittals.
