Table 4.1.1 as stated in the RFP provides the historical minimum FTEs per site.

| 56 | RFP Amendment 0001 | L | 3.4.2. Labor Hours | 20 of 21 | The instructions presented at RFP Attachment L-2, worksheet entitled, “Instructions” state that the Offeror is not required to utilize the Government's labor categories, however, each proposed labor category should appear opposite of the government labor category it is comparable to. The language on Attachment L-2 conflicts with L.3.4.2 which requires bidder to not deviate from the labor categories or the hours associated to each labor category at each site. Can the Government provide a revision to correct this discrepancy? | No | Attachment L-2 was updated with new verbiage and will be released with Amendment 0002 | |

| 58 | RFP Amendment 0001 | L | 3.3(i) | 18 of 21 | Can the Government review the instruction at L.3.3(i) as it appears to conflict with Section M. Are Offerors required to bid 5% or higher escalation or is an explanation provided as to why there is a deviation sufficient not to have a bidders proposal adjusted to include 5% escalation? | No | If an Offeror submits an escalation rate lower that 5%, that will be deemed unrealistically low and adjusted to a minimum of 5%. An Offeror may propose an escalation rate higher than 5% if desired. | |
| 59 | RFP | B | B.1(1) | 4 of 150 | Will the Government amend this paragraph as it appears to refer to an incorrect attachment?

| 61 | Attachment L-4 and Attachment 5 Solomons Island CBA Amentum | J | N/A | N/A | Attachment 5 CBA list a wage rate for Quality Control Inspector (QCI). Attachment L-4 does not reflect a labor category with this same nomenclature. Additionally, Attachment 5 CBA provides a wage rate for a Forklift Operator.
