Question Answers

N/A N/A N/A G-6 The request for information for this opportunity did not include the requirement within section 5.0 of the PWS to provide tier one through tier three support for Avaya, Cisco, Tellabs, Genband, Brocade, and Ciena. This contractor believes no small business would be able to support such a requirement.

We respectfully ask the

Government to change the solicitation to full and open to allow Industry to support this additional requirement.

Sources sought released did include partial objectives the for helpdesk support, which is included in section in the PWS. At contractor's discretion, the

Government encourages them to select teaming partners to fulfill elements of the PWS requirements so long the SB Prime completes 51% of the work in-house.

At this time the

Government finds no changes to the acquisition strategy are needed.

PWS 2.0 Scope 10 G-6 The solicitation states, “In

Addition only as needed requesting onsite

Telecommunications service support for Task #1, #2, #4, #5 on a quarter by quarter basis.”

There seems to be a discrepancy between the scope language and the PWS requirements. The PWS requirements seem to reflect several staff on duty from

0600 – 1800 M- F to perform the duties described in paragraph 3 General

Contractor Tasks. Will the government please define “as needed requesting onsite

PWS language will be modified as follows: "Contractor shall provide onsite telecommunications service support for

Task #1, #2, #4, #5 based on optional

SLINs included in the PWS. Each

SLIN will be based on a full month of support. Execution of the tasks set forth under the PWS shall consist of a staff to be on deck M-F

0600-1800 and

Telecommunications service support for Task #1, #2, #4, #5 on a quarter by quarter basis?”

times when emergency issues arrive or scheduled cut-overs limited staff would be required". Revisions to the CLIN structure will be covered in the solicitation amendment.

PWS 2.0 Scope 10 G-6 The solicitation states, “In

Addition only as needed requesting onsite

Telecommunications service support for Task #1, #2, #4, #5 on a quarter by quarter basis.”

Will the government please confirm where the offeror should price this in their bid?

How many hours should we assume for each task?

Solicitation language will be modified as follows:

"Contractor shall provide onsite telecommunications service support for

Task #1, #2, #4, #5 based on optional

SLINs included in the PWS. Each

SLIN will be based on a full month of support. Execution of the tasks set forth under the PWS shall consist of a staff to be on deck M-F

0600-1800 and times when emergency issues arrive or scheduled cut-overs limited staff would be required". Revisions to the CLIN structure will be covered in the amendment.

Contractor shall account for the labor hours needed to fulfil each task.

Hours shall be determined based on the proposed technical approach.

PWS 3.0 – 3.3 G-6 Will the Government please provide workload data to support the development of a staffing plan for requirements identified in Section 3?

Currently, the throughput at MCB

Quantico is approximately 100 trouble tickets a month and 300 work orders per month;

however, offerors should understand that workload varies from month to month. Additional information is contained under the requirement footprint document included in the solicitation amendment.

PWS 3.1.5.2 Telephone

Operator Services

14 G-6 Will the government please provide the call volume and how many positions are available to staff at one time?

In the 1st quarter of

FY-16 Base

Operators took over

15,000 phone calls.

There were two (2) full Time

Equivalents assigned between the hours of

0600-1800.

Additional information is contained under the requirements footprint document included in the solicitation amendment.

PWS 3.1.5.2 Telephone

Operator Services

14 G-6 Will the government please provide if there a surge requirement during a particular part of the day?

There are no particular day surge volumes.

PWS 3.1.5.2 Telephone

Operator Services

14 G-6 The duty hours are listed as

M–F, 0600 – 1800. Will the government please confirm the contractor does not need to staff beyond these hours?

That is correct. The contractor does not to staff beyond stated hours.

PWS 3.2 Maintenance

Response Times

15 G-6 Are there any current USMC directives with the Service

Level Agreements response times stated here?

Yes there are USMC directives; however our Service Level

Agreements are

Marine Corps Base

Quantico requirements.

PWS 3.3 Key Personnel 16 G-6 Must all Key Personnel identified in the PWS be named with resumes at the time of proposal submission or will government consider revising this to state at time of award?

Key Personnel are part of the evaluation criteria for source selection.

Resumes shall be provided at time of proposal submission.

PWS,

DD254

4.0 of PWS 17 G-6 DD254 requirement is for TS when accessing controlled areas. There is no mention of a requirement for S, and it is not clear from the 254 that only certain contractor employees are required to hold a clearance. This seems to deviate from the PWS security requirement at 4.0. Will the government please clarify?

Detailed information pertaining to the type of security clearances required for each task is listed under Section

4.1 of the PWS as well as the DD254.

Evaluation Factors for Award already states:

“Information on up to three (3) recent contracts performed by an offeror’s significant teaming partners / subcontractors and significant subcontractors considered most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort may be submitted.”

Past performance criteria remains unchanged.

Given the requirements listed in Section 5.0 of the PWS, it may difficult for a small business to provide 3 past performance references that meet the relevancy and recency criteria.

“Information on up to three (3) recent contracts performed by an offeror’s significant teaming partners / subcontractors and significant subcontractors considered most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort may be submitted.”

N/A N/A N/A G-6 The solicitation discusses a

Facilities Clearance. Is one required? If so at what level, and, will the USMC sponsor the awardee if they do not have one in place; assuming the personnel already have clearances.

A Facilities

Clearance is not currently required;

however if a

Facilities Clearance requirement arises, a change would be requested.

N/A N/A N/A RCO Is this a new requirement or a re-compete for support already being provided? A) If this is a re-compete, who is the incumbent? B) If there is an incumbent, do all of the current employees meet the security clearance and

This is a re-compete for support already being provided. A)

The incumbent contract is contract number M00264-13-

A-0016 awarded to

Qwest Government experience/education requirements stipulated in

PWS paragraph 3.3?

Services Inc. B) All contractor personnel currently performing support meet the requirements of the above-referenced contract.

N/A N/A N/A G-6 Are regular inspections of manholes, hand holes, pedestals, and telephone poles part of the contract?

Under PWS Section, inspections of manholes, hand holes, pedestals, and telephone poles will be required to be performed on an as-needed basis.

N/A N/A N/A RCO I see that resumes are

REQUIRED to be submitted with the proposal. This places both the Government and contractor (other than the incumbent) in a position of risk that may not be necessary.

If there is an incumbent, then any new contractor would be foolish to NOT at least offer the incumbent personnel continued employment. IF they accept then the

Government is able to retain their experience and knowledge and the contractor tosses out the resumes that they provided the government.

If they refuse, then the contractor puts the people in place that had submitted resumes and both loose that experience and knowledge of the existing infrastructure.

May I suggest instead that the contractor who is awarded the contract be required to provide resumes within a period of time (7 - 10 days for example) after award, and if any replacement of employees after contract award the contractor provide resumes that meet the requirements criteria to the Government before a new employee is put in place?

The Government has determined that, in order to meet its minimum needs, the

Contractor must provide Key

Personnel with the knowledge and experience described in the PWS. Key personnel resumes shall be provided at time of proposal due date in order for the

Government to evaluate whether the proposal meets the

Government’s minimum requirements.

N/A N/A N/A RCO The solicitation is well written and has a lot of excellent information, but what it does not provide is any information on the volume of work that must be done, i.e. how many trouble reports, work orders, installations, removals moves adds, changes, etc. are handled on an annual basis.

Will the Government provide additional information so that we can quantify the number of employees that we would need to have to support this effort?

A Requirement

Footprint document will be provided via

RFP amendment with historical information about the requirements.

N/A N/A N/A G-6 Does the Government anticipate needing the entire workforce to be present at

MCB Quantico or is much of this work on-call in which technicians would be dispatched from off post?

Contractor shall provide personnel support to be located/ present at

MCB Quantico.

N/A N/A N/A RCO On Page 59 of 65, the RFP lists the information required to be submitted for Key

Personnel. This list includes

Social Security Account

Number, but there is an asterisk immediately following it, but no description of what the asterisk means. Several of the personnel whose resumes we intend to submit have expressed apprehension with providing their SSAN at this phase of the process. Can you tell me what the asterisk means, and whether the SSAN is truly required for each Key

Person?

The asterisk was meant to describe the protection of PII.

The following has been added

“*Documents containing Personal

Identifiable

Information (PII) shall be provided under an encrypted

CD. The encryption code shall be provided to the

Government under the management volume.”

Contractors are requested to provide this information at time of proposal due date and time to give the government the opportunity to verify the individuals recommended meet the requirements and able to start performance on day

1.
