QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. I would like to know if there are any incumbent Contract/Contractor associated with this effort?
Answer: Yes, contract HQ0034-13-P-0191, Shannon E. Mohan, Ph.D.
and contract HQ0034-13-P-0130, Anthony R. Crain, Ph.D.
2. I cannot seem to locate FAR/DFARS 52.204-5, 52.209-5, and 52.219-1. Where might I find them so as to include them in the RFQ?
Answer: FAR 52.204-5 and 52.209-5 do not apply and have been removed from the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, please see revision attached. For FAR 52.219-1, Alt I (May 2014) provision is included in the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation in full text.
3. Combined Solicitation page 34 (4) Pricing Data states, “All pricing information shall appear within the Offeror’s “Price Schedule,” in MS Excel.” On page 41 “Tab 1 - Price Schedule shall include the following elements.” The instructions are a little unclear on the date element arrangements.
A. Is the Government expecting a single row with (1) Contract line item numbers (CLIN) and descriptions; (2) quantity, unit, unit price, total price for each CLIN; (3) labor category(s), labor hours, and labor rates associated with each CLIN?
Answer: Please see solicitation and respond accordingly.
B. Or should we use the table format on pages 1 & 2 for the CLIN structure on one worksheet and place (3) labor category(s), labor hours, and labor rates associated with each CLIN be in a separate worksheet in the same Excel workbook?
Answer: Please see solicitation and respond accordingly.
C. Or something else? What is the layout will simplify the Government’s review?
4. In PWS #1 (2 or 3), paragraph 1.6.4, states, “..The contractor shall work 1,800 hours or the equivalent of 40 hours per week for 45 weeks.” Then 1.6.4 states, “Contractor must at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within the PWS.” Would the Government please clarify or help to bound the interpretation of uninterrupted performance over a 12-month period of performance with only 1,800 hours?
Answer: Please see revised PWS#1, #2, and #3 attached.
5. In PWS #1, paragraph 1.6.4, as we are limited to working 1,800 hours during the year to provide uninterrupted performance, is a sick day, 3-day vacation, or 2-week vacation an acceptable interruption in the performance?
Answer: Please see revised PWS#1, #2, and #3 attached.
6. In PWS #1, paragraph 1.6.4, Is it the Government’s expectation that we provide a resource to cover a sick day of the incumbent performing the work or are sick days acceptable gaps? What is the longest acceptable gap in coverage for vacation days and sick days?
Answer: Please see revised PWS#1, #2, and #3 attached.
7. In PWS #1, paragraph 1.6.4, as only 1,800 work hours are required per 12-month performance period. How does this number of hours equate to the period of performance (do we take off 7 weeks)?
Answer: Please see revised PWS#1, #2, and #3 attached.
8. In PWS #1, paragraph 1.6.4, should we anticipate that once we reach 1,800 hours that we are no longer responsible to provided “uninterrupted performance of all tasks…” and that we cease to perform on the project until the following performance period?
Answer: Please see revised PWS#1, #2, and #3 attached.
9. In PWS #1, paragraph 1.6.4, what is the Government’s expectation for duty day coverage throughout the year with an FTE limited to performing only 1,800 hours in a 12-month period of performance, thus we must fill in the remaining 1,200 hours of duty days in the 12-month performance period (2080 annual hours-80 hours (10 holidays))?
Answer: Please see revised PWS#1, #2, and #3 attached.
10. In PWS #1, paragraph 1.6.7.1 states, “The contractor shall obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance before contract performance begins.” When will the Government accept paperwork to adjudicate a Top Secret clearance at award notification or only after contract start?
Answer: Please see PWS 1.6.7 Security Requirements, Top Secret Clearance is required at the time of proposal submission.
11. In PWS #1, Part 3, paragraph 3.2, would “other items necessary” include a digital or tape voice recorder for oral interviews or must the contractor provided such devices?
Answer: Please see solicitation and respond accordingly.
12. Is the labor category Applied Historian?
