| 8. |
| Question: |
| Since the government has not specified the number of hours for on-site vs. off-site work, should the contractor simply estimate 5% of each labor category to be performed off-site? Does the government plan for a particular labor category to work off-site? |
| ANSWER: |
| We anticipate that the PM would sit off-site and would come on-site as necessary to perform their management and oversight and other managerial duties. |
| 9. |
| Question: |
| Is the Service Contract Act applicable to this contract? If so, would the government please provide the Wage Determinations that are applicable and include FAR 52.222-42 in the RFP? |
| ANSWER: |
| While some labor categories under the anticipated contract are anticipated to be wage-grade, blue collar type services, the vast majority of the labor categories are considered to professional labor categories; therefore, the Service Contract Act of 1965 will not be applied to this procurement. |

The letter of intent is a separate written agreement signed by the potential employee(s) to work for the offeror effective at contract award. Subcontractors and team members shall provide this information either separately or included in the prime contractor’s submission of this document. |
| 15. |
