Section L

357-359

RFP Para., Clause, or Other Definitive Citation:

Cost Volume, Section 1.1 Cost Summaries

Document Name:

Final RFP

Document Date:

Question: There are a number of inconsistencies between the RFP and the actual Attachment J-

25. For example, the RFP describes five (5) summary spreadsheets but the attachment contains nine (9) summary tabs.

Is it NAVSEA’s intention to reconcile these instances and provide consistent direction by updating Section L, 1.1 or Attachment J-25?

Answer: The language in Section L, 1.1 Cost Summary is consistent with the instructions contained within Attachment J-25. Attachment J-25 contains five summary tabs. The five summary tabs are to be populated and instructions are given to the completion of those specific tabs. The instructions also direct offerors, where applicable, to complete lower level detailed tabs to populate the summary tabs, e.g. detailed calendar year tabs in the “2a” series. The Government will provide a revised Attachment J-25 in a forthcoming amendment; however the revised attachment will not revise the number of summary or detailed tabs.

Question: Attachment J-25 specifies that 168,497 hours are allocated to the Program Management Labor Category in CLIN 0001. This Labor Category has a single Job Title (Program Manager, Senior Grade Level). The CLIN 0001 scope (as defined in RFP Section C, Part 1, paragraph 3.1) requires a mix of Program Managers and support personnel.

Was it NAVSEA’s intention to have only the Program Management labor category hours included in J-25 CLIN 0001 section?

Answer: No, that is not the intention. The Government has modified the CLIN 0001 labor mix in the revised Attachment J-25 provided as an enclosure to this response.

It should be noted that the revised Attachment J-25 includes numerous other changes beyond the modified CLIN 0001 labor mix. The revised Attachment J-25 will be formally incorporated via a forthcoming solicitation amendment.

Question: The RFP states in Section F that, for proposal purposes, the estimated date of award is 15 January 2015.

Attachment J-25, Tab 1 (“Government Estimate”), however, contains hours in CY 2014 through

CY 2023.

Will the Government update Attachment J-25 periods of performance to match the estimated start date contained in Section F?

Answer: The Government will amend the solicitation to provide consistency with the estimated award date cited in Section F. This will include revisions to Section B, Attachment J-15 and Attachment J-25.

Question: In Section B the summation of all Level of Effort hours total 2,895,431 and Section B Table 3 totals 2,851,994 hours.

In J-25 Cost Evaluation Workbook, the total hours listed in the spreadsheet total 2,851,995.

(1) Will the Government please provide direction as to which number is correct?

(2) Should the total hours not agree with the J-25 provided, will the Government provide an updated J-25 to match the corrected total?

Answer: The Government has provided a revised Attachment J-25 that will be formally incorporated in a forthcoming amendment. In this amendment, the total LOE will be consistent in Section B, Section H and Attachment J-25.

Question: There are differences in the hours that have been allocated for LOE CLINs stated in the RFP, Schedule B and Attachment J-25. It is requested the Government provide a consistent set of LOE hours between Section B and J-25.

Also, Attachment J-25 does not contain whole hours for labor. It contains fractions of hours in individual years. Comparing the sums containing fractions of hours to sums of whole number hourly totals results in minor discrepancies.

It is requested that the government update J-25 to utilize only whole numbers for labor hours.

Answer: Please see the response to Question 28 regarding consistent of the required LOE.

Attachment J-25 has been revised and will be incorporated in a forthcoming amendment to cite only whole labor hours.
