RFP 169 Section L Paragraph 2.4

Foldouts for the entire proposal are limited to a total of 25 foldout sheets.

Proprietary Non-Proprietary

Question/Comment & Requested Action

The cost volume has potential to need lengthy, wide tables to provide SLOC or pricing estimates, which may be best presented on foldout pages. The limit of 25 foldout page could result in offerors keeping these on letter-size pages even though this may make them more difficult to review.

Recommend the limit on fold-out pages exclude any in the Cost/Price volume, as well as SLOC tables and the Staffing Plan (Attachment 19).

Government Response

Please see solicitation amendment 0001 for updated instructions relating to this topic.

RFP 169 Section L Paragraph 2.4

Texts within tables, diagrams, pictorial charts, or graphic material may use no smaller than 8-point font.

For "text within tables, diagrams, pictorial charts, or graphic material", the RFP specifies 8 point or greater font, but does not specify a font type. While Times New Roman is specified for narrative material, may offerors use Arial font in the other material for better legibility at the smaller font size?

Recommend allowing use of Arial font in tables, diagrams, pictorial charts and graphic material for better legibility.
