Q&A #5

1. Given the answer to question #9 provided in Q&A #4:

9. Section 1.9/1.8 These sections state that Wages and Fringes will be negotiated for RAV an

ROS and yet Attachment O has a Form C for both ROS and RAV. Should the RAV and ROS

Form C’s be ignored or will you remove them from Attachment O?

A: The Government Requires this input for price estimation and comparison. The actual amounts would be negotiated when required. Attachment O should be completed in its entirety.

Bidders would be encouraged to underestimate the ROS and RAV pricing in order to lower the total evaluated price.

-Please eliminate all evaluated ROS/ RAV days in order to incentivize accurate pricing estimates.

Alternatively, please eliminate the negotiable elements and only require the fixed price elements on the pricing sheets. MSC has used both of these options in past solicitations.

A: Section C 1.8 and 1.8 were updated in Amendment N32205-18-R-3003-0006. Please see N32205-18-

R-3003-0007, Section F-4 (B).
