COFFEE SHOP IN BLDG 210 SOLICITATION NAF 001

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

16 March 2012

Question:

There appears to be a disconnect concerning how the proposals are prepared. On page five (5) of the solicitation in the Format for the proposal packages, item g, it says that “all pages within the binder need to be free of the contractor’s name and contact information to assist with the anonymity of the technical evaluation.” but in Step 1 (c)(i)a(1) on page 6 of the solicitation the offeror’s management and structure and staffing needs to be part of the Management/Operating plan. How would the information be provided since contractor’s names and contract information cannot be part of the proposal?

Answer:

There is not a disconnect between these two areas. The contractor’s management structure and staffing does not require names. It should include labor categories and number of employees and other information of that nature.

Question:

When will clarifications take place before or after the proposals are turned in?

Answer:

If clarifications are necessary they will take place after the proposals are turned in and the technical evaluation is done.

Question:

Can my proposal be changed if clarifications are necessary?

Answer:

If clarifications are necessary and could result in a change to the proposal, then the contractor will be given a chance to clarify the proposal in writing.
