36	265	The SOO states "locations established and operated by the contractor" - will the government consider changing the SOO to state Locations established and operated by the state with contractor support"? Evacuation decisions are made by local and state officials.	PM	This will be mission-dependent, but could include when the State is overwhelmed, and site selection would likely have State concurrence, but may not have any State personnel present.
37	298	Will the successful awardee(s) be responsible for ESF #6 services to the entire country?	PM	If one vendor is used, yes.
38	298	We recommend the government integrate the on-site staff and capability into FEMA Regional Catastrophic Exercises.	PM	Concur, ESF 6 will make that recommendation to FEMA Exercise Branch and National Exercise Division staff.
39	Lines 33-36, Paragraph 1	Scope states that "The contractor shall be capable of delivering these services to multiple disaster locations simultaneously in Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS)." For the purposes of formulating approach, developing quantities and pricing, how many events of what size and type will have to be supported simultaneously ?	PM	The requirement will be for a minimum of one level one incident and a maximum of three concurrent operations, which will consist of at least one level one incident.
40	Lines 58-60, Paragraph 3	Performance Objectives Tasks and Deliverables similarly states that the "contractor shall be capable of delivering these services to multiple disaster missions simultaneously in Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations including Alaska, Hawaii and other U.S. territories and possessions" For the purposes of formulating a delivery approach, developing quantities and pricing, how many events of what size and type will have to be supported simultaneously ?	PM	The requirement will be for a minimum of one level one incident and a maximum of three concurrent operations, which will consist of at least one level one incident.
41	Lines 67-68, Paragraph 5	Performance Objectives Tasks and Deliverables states that the contractor shall also be responsible for complying with any transportation, permitting and licensing requirements. Given the diverse nature of the work that the govt. would like one entity to provide, 50 + different sets of state and local licensure requirements that will need to be addressed in advance of an event to maintain a ready state. The costs for this will be significant.

Will the govt. reimburse these costs as part of readiness?

Will the government consider assigning geographic sectors or allowing contractors to bid on individual objectives with clearly defined quantities and scope?	PM	Those items are expected to be identified by the planners as part of their daily duties. Gathering, parsing, and compiling data into useful information is part of the planning process.
	42	Lines 100 -102 Paragraph 4	Objective 1 states that, "Staff assigned will be required to have cleared all federal investigation requirements and to be prepared to travel within 24 hour notice." Will FEMA clear multiple teams of three to address the simultaneous event requirement and if so how many teams do contractors need to have available?	PM	That will be spelled out in the RFP, but not likely to be different than the current TAC contracts
	43	Lines 108-111 Paragraph 1	Objective 2 states that, "the contractor shall assemble and deploy all resources needed for the requested task to a staging location(s)... within 24-72 hours after Notice to Proceed is given." As written the requirement may not be achievable for everything. Would the govt. consider prioritizing categories of resources and having different mobilization times for each category?	PM	Yes, but the proritization may be incident specific.
	44	Lines 108-111 Paragraph 1	Objective 2 states that, "the contractor shall assemble and deploy all resources needed for the requested task to a staging location(s)... within 24-72 hours after Notice to Proceed is given." Will staff being assigned have to meet the background and badging requirements to deploy?

If so, will FEMA pay readiness costs to perform background checks, in advance for the deployment cadre in advance or waive this requirement initially?	PM	This requirement will be defined in the RFP.
	45	Lines 135 -136, Item A	Objective 3 may require A/E and construction services in 50 + locations with different sets of state and local licensure requirements along with professional liability insurance. Most will need to be in place in advance of an event to maintain a ready state, most local governments are not prepared for the influx of permitting and inspections during a disaster which can cause lengthy delays in obtaining occupancy and use permits for even temporary facilities. Also requirements or backup power sources and types of sanitation services will required. Maintaining this level of readiness will be a significant expense.

Will the government reimburse these costs as part of readiness?

Will the government consider assigning geographic sectors?	PM	Those items are expected to be identified by the planners as part of their daily duties. Gathering, parsing, and compiling data into useful information is part of the planning process.
	46	Lines 138-140, Item B	Objective 3 requires "constructing and erecting soft-sided or similar temporary structures to provide MC/EA services, including congregate and non-congregate shelters."

Will prototypes of these structures need to be approved pre-event?

If so, what are the specifications /requirements of the temporary structures that must be provided?	PM	Those items are expected to be identified by the planners as part of their daily duties. Gathering, parsing, and compiling data into useful information is part of the planning process.
	47	Lines 138-140, Item B	Objective 3 states that the total target capability will be for a maximum of 20 facilities for 60 days.

How many survivors and support staff need to be housed within each facility?

What is the timeline for having these facilities operational?	PM	Those items are expected to be identified by the planners as part of their daily duties. Gathering, parsing, and compiling data into useful information is part of the planning process.
	48	Lines 152-155, Item B	Objective 4 states that "specialized staff will provide health, mental health, reunification, and other credentialed services. They will have to be licensed in the jurisdiction where the healthcare services are being provided. Maintaining a cadre of licensed personnel who are also FEMA badged within the entire US will be extremely difficult and costly. Will FEMA waive the badging requirement initially or pay readiness to maintain a cadre of individuals who meet this requirement?	PM	We don't expect a cadre to be on standby.
	49	Lines 161 - 177	Objective 5 as currently written combines very diverse skills sets (e.g. running donation site versus mass evacuation planning). Would FEMA consider dividing this into separate objectives grouped by type of requirement - mass evacuation services versus mass care logistics?

Do all of these individuals need to be badged prior to deployment and if so how will this be handled?	PM	Those items are expected to be identified by the planners as part of their daily duties. Regarding badging, contracted staff would be expected to meet DHS/FEMA Security and Badging procedures unless waived.
	50	Lines 180-181 Paragraph 1	Objective 6 states that the contractor "shall provide basic veterinary services, feeding and hydration, management and boarding services for household pets".

What type of animal is considered a household pet?

Will vets have to be licensed in the state where the event has occurred?

What is the complete list of veterinary services required?	PM	This information will be provided in the RFP.
	51	Lines 190-191	Objective 7 requires support services such as feeding, health and mental health, support to individuals with access and functional needs, and communications. What training and staffing guidelines should be used to direct the support of special needs survivors?

mtinsma1: mtinsma1:

Why Red Cross guidelines... are they now considered the rule?	PM	Guidance will be provided in the RFP.
	52	Line 194, Paragraph 2	Objective 7 requires that the contractor be able to support a "target capacity will be a maximum of 50,000 disaster survivors for 30 days."

What will be the ramp-up time line for achieving the disaster survivor target?

Will FEMA consider a ramped approach that begins with a baseline capacity that can be ramped up or down within certain notification thresholds?	PM	Those items are expected to be identified by the planners as part of their daily duties.
	53	Line 214-234	Objective 9 requires a diverse set services - many of which are covered by other objectives already and in some cases could be construed as inherently governmental.

Will FEMA consider incorporating the following items into other objectives:

- Items 5, 7,10, 11, and 12 seem like they would be better placed in Objective 5

- Food could go in Objective 8 unless is meant to imply bulk supplies then it could be Objective 5.

- Remaining items could be part of sheltering services if this is meant as staff augmentation to other groups providing the overall service.	PM	The objectives will remain as written.
	54	Lines 236-259	Objective 10 traditionally has been handled by National Guard, or some other federal or state organization with contractor support.

How will the contractor work in conjunction with these entities?

There are security issues and a wide-range of potential challenges and liabilities. Who would be responsible for security and how would liabilities be evaluated?	PM	Those items are expected to be identified by the planners as part of their daily duties. If tasked, the Contractor would be responsible for providing security.

	61	Obj. 2	Are staging locations pre-determined, or will they change depending upon the location of the incident?	PM	That will depend on the mission
	62		Is FEMA seeking a complete nation-wide solution from one party, or would a regional approach be more likely working through the existing FEMA Regional Divisions and Multiple Teams?	PM	Likely the second approach

	67		During the Steady State Phase of this project, is FEMA looking for a complete rewrite of the emergency response and risk management plans that are currently in place and being utilized?	PM	We expect those to be part of the Contractors planner's toolkit.
	68	Scope	Is the intent to award this IDIQ contract to ONE or multiple contractors to provide ALL services and/or augmentation services listed in the SOOs?
	PM/CO	This will be addressed in the RFP.
