About this file
This document is an industry Q&A clarification for Funding Opportunity W911KB-26-2-0001, regarding Richardson Training Area Land Rehabilitation and Maintenance Support at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska (SOW26-105).
The government addressed three industry inquiries. First, regarding indirect cost rates, the government clarified that applicants must follow the indirect rate requirement specified in the funding announcement rather than the 2024 federal de minimis rate change (15%). Second, the government confirmed that indirect rates may be charged on the full amount of allowable direct costs for contracted services, not limited to only the first $50,000. Third, regarding Task 3.2.1 Section 4's mulching requirement, the government rejected a proposed modification to replace the specification of "a uniform layer of wood chips no more than an inch deep" with language focused on not hindering vegetative growth. The government maintained its intent to create a uniform layer and directed applicants to base their budgets on the original statement of work.

Funding Opportunity W911KB-26-2-0001 Richardson Training Area Land Rehabilitation and Maintenance Support
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska (SOW26-105) Industry Questions #1 -#3 and Government Response
1. Will this project follow the 2024 change in the Federal de minimis rate (now 15%)? Or do we need to use the 10% de minimis rate given in the Funding Announcement?
Government Response:
Follow the indirect rate requirement in the funding announcement.
2. Do we use the indirect rate on the full amount of contracted services? Or is only the first $50,000 of the total amount eligible for indirect?
Government Response:
Recipients may charge the indirect rate on the full amount of allowable direct costs for contracted services.
3, Under Task 3.2.1 Section 4, it states that "Recipients shall mulch relatively thin stands of vegetation where it stands, creating a uniform layer of wood chips no more than an inch deep".
Could that requirement be rephrased to 'creating a final layer of wood chips that does not hinder vegetative growth' ? Tkis modification would focus on the ability of a practice to revegetate properly rather than taking thousands of ruler measurements across the site.
Government Response:
The Government’s intent is to create a uniform layer. Please provide a budget based on the statement of work.
