Questions Solicitation N65236-16-R-0006-0007 Engineering and Operational Support for Aviation and Polar Programs Questions and Answers
1. Amendment 0006 Continuation Question: Reference Amend 6 Attachment 4a pricing model.
a. On the Summary tab, cells G67, G85, G86, and G87 are hard coded as 0, Cells G68, G71, G73, G75, G77, G81, G83, and G105 are incorrectly linked, and Column H totals are linked to hidden cells that have values in them because they aren’t totaling correctly.
Government Response: Amendment 0007, Attachment 4A Pricing Model (Prime Contractor) was updated on 11 July 2017 to correct the errors identified above.
| 2. | Amendment 0006 Continuation Question: Reference Amend 6 Attachment 4a pricing model. |
| * | Cell G67 (Prime Labor Cost for 6 month extension) on the Summary Tab has no formula. We believe that it should be linked to cell AI61 on the Rates Tab. |
| * | Cells G68, G71, G73, G75, G77 on the summary tab are linked to cells that reside in hidden columns on the Team Hours Tab. The hours displayed on the Summary tab is 0 for each of these cells. This also skews the Sub percentages in A71, A73, A75, and A77. We believe these cells in column G of the Summary Tab should be linked to the appropriate cells in the visible columns on the Team Hours tab. |
| * | Total hours in all related cells in the H column on the Summary Tab are adding in hours from a hidden column, also skewing Sub percentages. |
| * | Cell H83 on the Summary Tab also includes hours from Cell B83 (CLIN 0001). Since these hours are included in the total and no portion is broken out by Sub, this causes an incorrect result in the percentage calculation by Sub in Column A of the Summary Tab. |
| * | The Instructions Tab provides the following guidance regarding CLIN 0001: “solely use Govt provided plug numbers and apply direct/indirect rates (e.g. OH, G&A,) and fixed fee.” The Summary Tab does load fee but no indirect rates are loaded. |
Government Response: Amendment 0007, Attachment 4A Pricing Model (Prime Contractor) and 4B Pricing Model (Subcontractor) was updated on 11 July 2017 to correct the errors identified above.
3. Question: In Amend 7 – Attachment 4A Pricing Model (Prime Contractor), all of the 5,072 labor hours in CLIN 0001 are being allocated to the Prime Contractor, and then used in the calculations for subcontractor percentages of the total contract for purposes of determining who is a Significant Subcontractor. This results in an underestimate of actual subcontractor labor hour percentages. Please clarify.
| Government Response: Offerors may correct the formula to ensure proper allocation of Prime to significant subcontractor is evidenced. Further, the Government will evaluate proposals and make any necessary formula adjustments to the proposals to ensure the subcontractor labor percentages are not incorrectly skewed by the CLIN 0001 values. | |
| 4. | Question: We are directed by the RFP and amendments to price only the prep period, the 1st year and the 6th month option to extend. The attachment #6 (amend 4) provided to the bidders for the SB plan has five years to fill out, but the participation matrix attachment states the bidders are to match the shortened pricing. Please clarify the numbers of years bidders are to show and subcontract values in the Small Business Plan and on Attachment 6. |
| Government Response: For estimating purposes applicable to years 2 through 5, offerors may utilize the proposed pricing for TO1, CLIN 0002 Annual Operations Support effort as the baseline for years 2 through 5 of performance. Offerors may choose to use the Year 1 (i.e. TO1 CLIN 0002) values extrapolated and escalated out for the estimated values associated for years 2 through 5 to populate Attachment 6. The proposed aggregate estimated values should encompass the estimates for the entire 5 year ordering period of performance and which is a supplement to the subcontracting plan requirements as set forth in FAR Part 19.7 (as applicable). |
