Question source: RFP, Amendment 0004

Page number and paragraph header from source: Section L, paragraph 4.3.4 Supporting Cost Data for Cost Reimbursable and Cost Only CLINS (Via Amend04, Page 3)

Question 23: RFP Section L 4.3.4 states “Offerors shall provide a screen-capture (or equivalent) from the employer's payroll system for each name in the Offeror's Staffing Plan. The screen-captures (or equivalent) shall be fully explained, allowing the Government to identify relevant compensation and clearly map to individual rates shown in Figure 1 Example Cost Summary for Engineering Services…” Instances may exist where an Offeror develops rates based upon a labor pooling methodology within defined job categories, rather than by utilizing employee-specific payroll data in its cost proposal.

To address these instances, will the Government amend the solicitation such that this requirement be satisfied by solely providing supporting documentation that is consistent with an Offeror’s disclosed rate development process (in lieu of providing employee-specific payroll data)?

Answer 23: No, the Government will not amend the solicitation. Proposals shall include information consistent with that described in the solicitation.
