a. Yes, that is correct.

In the case where the assigned COR for a submitted past performance Task Order is not available to complete the Past Performance Report Form, is the TA or another Government responsible personnel who is familiar with the Task Order permitted to complete and forward the form to contract Government Official?

a. Yes, that is acceptable.

21. There appears to be an apparent inconsistency in the solicitation (N0018922R0003), as written, with respect to contract maximum ceiling ($48M) and level of effort being directed for pricing purposes (1,315,000 total hours in Attachment 4, EMS Contract Pricing Spreadsheet). We would have presented this question earlier if we had realized the impact of the inconsistency to the pricing attachment.

Does the level of effort in the pricing attachment include hours beyond what is intended to be ordered in the aggregate to arrive at the maximum ceiling value (solicitation p. 23, paragraph entitled “CONTRACT MINIMUM/MAXIMUM QUANTITY AND CONTRACT VALUE”)? If not, when calculating the mandated hours for the SCA labor categories alone at the SCA wages and 100% government site would result in a total evaluated price that far exceeds the maximum value.

a. It is the determination of the Government that the number of hours and contract ceiling is appropriate. Please note that the pricing spreadsheet has been revised to incorporate a breakdown of both on-site and off-site hours.

22. Related to Question #19. It appears the question asked goes to the SEPS procurement and not EMS. Please consider the following question:

Reference-Attachment 4 Contract Pricing Spreadsheet and Section C.5.2 Table % of Work: Bremerton, WA 10%, Norfolk, VA 20%, San Diego, CA 20% Will the Government clarify if the hours provided in Attachment 4 are required to be priced based on 10% at Bremerton, WA Government site, 20% at Norfolk, VA Government site, 20% at San Diego, CA Government site, 20% at Contractor’s Facilities/Site, 15% at Various Aircraft Carriers/ site and 15% at Other Government site determined by Task Order?

a. Yes, please use the estimated percentages outlined in the PWS.

23. If the answer to question #19 is affirmative and 20% of the hours are at Contractor Facilities/Site, will the

Attachment 4 be updated to reflect on-site (Contractor Site) hours at 20% of the total hours vice the 36.5% of the total hours shown in the revised Attachment 4?

a. Yes, this has been revised.

24. Related to Question #21. Based on the answer to this question, it is our understanding that the total price of all hours specified in the RFP may exceed the $48,000,000 Maximum Ceiling Amount identified on Page 23 of the solicitation document; however, it is understood that the Government will not award task orders that exceed the $48,000,000 Maximum Ceiling Amount. Please confirm this understanding as soon as possible so we can determine what, if any, further action we may need to take.

a. Yes. The ceiling amount is $48M and the government will not award task orders that exceed the ceiling amount. Regardless of what total amount is proposed we will not award over and above the ceiling. All labor categories and rates used to price future task orders shall be in accordance with the completed EMS Contract Pricing Spreadsheet.

25. Considering that the appropriate labor rates multiplied by the hours provided in the solicitation will well exceed the $48M total ceiling, please confirm that the government will only be evaluating the labor rates themselves, and not the annual total value.

a. Yes. The ceiling amount is $48M and the government will not award task orders that exceed the ceiling amount. Regardless of what total amount is proposed we will not award over and above the ceiling. All labor categories and rates used to price future task orders shall be in accordance with the completed EMS Contract Pricing Spreadsheet.
