SECTION SF30 - CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Amendment 1: 14 December 2020

Question 1: Is there a CBA currently in place covering any of the positions?

Answer: There is no collective bargain agreement (CBA) applicable to this contract other than what the contractor performing these services has with their employees.

Question 2: Is this a new contract? Who is the current incumbent, and what is the previous contract award number?

Answer: The current incumbent is BAE and the current contract number is N0040620C0031

Question 3: Regarding the requirement for contractors to establish and maintain a Qualification/Certification Program for Explosives Handling, would it be acceptable for a subcontractor to the prime to hold the certification?

Answer: There is a requirement for a Qualification/Certification Program for Explosives Handling (Explosive Drivers, OIS Database, and Magazine Operations) and Qualification/Certification Program for Armory personnel.

If a sub-contractor is used, the Certification Chairman, and both the Explosives Handling and Armory Qualification/Certification Programs would have to fall under the same sub-contractor. The Management Plan would need to designate the bearer of ultimate responsibility for the Explosive Handling and Armory Qualification/Certification Program.

Question 4: Page 20; Paragraph 9.0.7; Information System. The reference states that the contractor can provide an information system or use one provided by the Government to track weapons issued/received and SL 3/collateral items issued/received.

(1) Does the Government have a system in place today that can be utilized or should the contractor come prepared with this system?

(2) Will there be a need to connect it to the Intranet? Or will it be a stand-alone system requirement?

Answer: See section 9.0.7 of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). This information has been updated with this amendment.

Question 5: Page 25; Paragraph 10.6; CBR Workload. This section states that the number of personnel requiring/returning CBR equipment is stated at "twenty" however, in parenthesis the number (40) per month is listed. For workload purposes, can the Government clarify if the estimated workload is 20 or 40? Per month?

Answer: The estimated workload should read “forty” (40) per month. This information will be updated in this amendment.

Question 6: Page 96; Page Restriction for Attachment 5. The instructions in Section L requires that Attachment 5 be 3 pages for each of the contracts that the Offeror submits. Attachment 5 of the Solicitation is in itself 6 pages long.

What is the page requirement for completing each of the contract references in Attachment 5?

Answer: Attachment 5 of the solicitation is 6 pages long, please fill out and turn in each of the 6 pages. That information will be updated in this amendment.

Question 7: Page 97; Proposal Format. May Offerors submit proposals in PDF format versus Microsoft Word in order to ensure accuracy (excluding pricing data in Excel)?

Amendment 3: 29 December 2020

Question 27: Ref: Amendment 1, Page 39, Section 6 Pricing Information, Attachment 8 Cost Summary Worksheet, and ENCL2

The pricing Attachment 8 Cost Summary Worksheet only contains labor costs, yet the RFP requires that bidders provide costs for the three trucks and associated operation of the same. Furthermore, under additional notes in this same section, there is the following stipulation: If there are any discrepancies between the pricing submitted in Section J and the price related backup/summary documentation, the Offeror's Section J pricing will take precedence.

A. Where are the bidders to include pricing for the AMMO TRANS WORKLOAD contained in ENCL 2?

B. Is there a specific format for capturing these costs?

C. Which Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINS) should these costs be aligned with, assuming that these are to be included in the pricing?

Answer: Attachment 8 Cost Summary Worksheet is being provided as a generic template and should be tailored in accordance with your proposal. This is a Firm Fixed Price Commercial Service Contract. Pricing should be aligned with CLIN 0001 for logistics and ammunition handling, storage, and support. CLIN 0002 reflects overtime.

Question 28: Ref: Attachment 8 Cost Summary Worksheet

The worksheet provides a format for capturing labor costs in each of the periods for "straight time." If bidders have more than one fringe rate for labor being proposed, how should the rates and associated costs be captured since the Government-provided template only provides for a single entry?

Answer: Attachment 8 Cost Summary Worksheet is being provided as a generic template and should be tailored in accordance with your proposal.

Question 29: Ref: Attachment 8 Cost Summary Worksheet In each of the overtime tabs, there is no place to capture indirect costs and fee. Are the labor rates indicated in column G of each respective period fully burdened inclusive direct labor costs, indirects, and fee? If not, where are the indirects and fee to be captured?

Answer: Labor rates are fully burdened and are inclusive of the direct labor costs, indirects, and profits. This will not be a cost contract.

Question 30: Ref: Amendment 1, page 102, section 3, Volume III – Price, sub-section a), and sub-section b).

In sub-section a) there is a requirement to provide a total amount for CLINS 0001-0003, and in sub-section b) there is a requirement to provide costs for CLINS 0001-5002. Is this duplication intentional, and does the Government want the costs for CLINs 0001-0003 duplicated, or can the bidders simply provide the input in tabular form as indicated in sub-section b?

Answer: This is not a duplication please provide the total cost for CLINs 0001-0003 in sub-section a) and breakdown the cost of the CLINs in sub-section b)

Question 31: Ref: Amendment 1, page 102, section 3 Volume III – Price, sub-section a), sub-section b). and Attachment 8.

The table on page 102 of the RFP amendment indicates that the bidders are to provided total amounts for Option years 1-4 CLINS 1001-4002 respectively) along with a 6-month extension (FAR 52.217-8), which is 50% of the final option year's price. However, Attachment 8 only provides for three option years. Where is the fourth "straight-time" option year to be captured within Attachment 8?

In addition, within Attachment 8, there are only two tabs for option years (Overtime OY 1 and Overtime OY 2).

Were, if at all are the costs for overtime option years three and four (OY 3 & OY4) to be captured?

Answer: Attachment 8 Cost Summary Spreadsheet is being provided as a generic template and should be tailored in

Question 32: Ref: RFP pages 4-9, Section B – Supplies or Services and Prices, and page 66, ENCL 2

In Section B, the items associated with ammunition transport overtime (items x002) indicate overtime hour quantities of 400 hours for the base year and 480 for subsequent 12-month option years. Based on ENCL 2 requirements, calculations result in overtime hours differ from those specified in Section B for overtime.

How are the bidders to reconcile these differences when preparing the bids?

Answer: There are only 10 months in the base year and each remaining year is a full 12 months.

Question 33: Price Proposal – on pg 102, the instructions state to submit pricing with Section J of the RFP for each CLINs. Section J is a list of attachments to the proposal and an Enclosed facility List. A) says to provide the total amount for CLINS 1-3. However, the CLINS in the table below are for CLINS 0001-0003 and then OYs for CLINS 1001 and 1002 - 5001 and 5002. Please clarify which documents and the format you are requesting for the Pricing.

Answer: Section J of the RFP has a list of all attachments. Pricing is to be completed with attachment 8 Cost Summary Spreadsheet. Please fill in Volume III Price section of the RFP as well. The RFP should be filled out in its entirety.

Question 34: Attachment 8 - this does not seem to relate to this proposal, but appears to be a required inclusion in the pricing volume.

a. There are only tabs for cost summaries for 3 OYs. Will the government provide an update of the chart along with instructions. Please clarify if we are only including 4 years of pricing information.

b. Column D is titled #of FTE (Monthly & Annually). The sample says 100%. Do you require total number of FTEs per labor category or do you want this to match the staffing chart in Attachment 7

c. What is the definition of “Loaded Labor Rate” for Col F?

d. Line 18 has Fringe, Line 19 requires G&A, Line 20 requires Profit. Is this an average percentage or a price for each labor code of category or by person?

e. This chart apperars to be labor costs alone. How does the government, or where, do we need to include equipment costs?

f. Is this chart to include overhead and G&A for the vehicles, and material handling equipment per person, or can we have a separate are for equipment and fuel cost?

Answer: Attachment 8 Cost Summary Spreadsheet is being provided as a generic template and should be tailored in

Question 35: Hazardous Duty Pay is a direct labor cost, however, the plan is to have multiple personnel qualified on transport.
