The following items are applicable to this modification:

1. Legend: Q - Question/Comment A – Answer

Q1. Page 88, Factor 4 under key personnel states “The offeror shall include a resume for the number of individuals that would be required to perform the entire Level of Effort for each Key Personnel category.” It further states “A level of effort of 1920 labor hours per man year should be utilized.” In response to question 3 in amendment 1, the

Government revised the number of resumes required for Key Personnel. However, in three of the key personnel labor categories (Program Manager, Site Foreman and Senior Engineering Technician), the hours included in the

LOE exceed the number of hours that the number of resumes required will provide. Please confirm that the language in the first statement quoted above related to performing the entire LOE with key resumes should be removed.

A1. The numbers of resumes remain unchanged. Page 88, Factor 4, under Key Personnel, the statement “A level of effort of 1920 labors per man year should be utilized” is hereby deleted per this amendment.

Q2. RFP paragraph CAR-L11 (2), Factor 3, requires offerors to provide its corporate experience for the sixteen modernization programs listed in paragraph C 2.0.

A2. Offerors may submit more than five (5) contract examples to address their corporate experience.

Q3. CLIN 0006 is a placeholder in the event the government chooses to issue Firm Fixed Price delivery orders. As this is a material element of the solicitation, can offerors propose HM&E qualified and ship-modernization experienced small business subcontractors that do not have a government approved accounting system?

A3. An approved Cost Accounting System is required only at the prime contractor’s level.

Q4. When Cost and Pricing Data is mentioned in the FAR, it is referring to “Certified” Cost and Pricing Data” is not required as we are not requiring Cost or Pricing Data that is certified. Recommend removal of clause 52.215-20 and insert Alternate IV, 52.215-20 Alt IV.

A4. Reference page 94, Clause 52.215-20 Cost and Pricing Data is hereby removed and clause 52.215-20 Alt IV is substituted per this amendment.

Q5. One of our subcontractors does not have an approved accounting system and pricing all government work using rates established in an approved Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA). Is it acceptable that they submit, as their proprietary cost package, evidence of their approved FPRA in lieu of the details specified in RFP Factor 8 (page

91)?

A5. Proposed subcontractor(s) must submit cost information as specified in RFP under Section L Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders, Factor 8 - Cost. Subcontractor(s) may submit any additional supporting documentation such as their approved FPRA.
