Amendment # 2 Clearfield Job Corps Center RFP Questions:

1. On page 8 of the RFP it states the PRH is available at http://jobcorps.gov/AboutJobCorps/performance_planning.aspx. The consolidated PRH available on this Job Corps website includes the changes to Appendix 502 that were effective July 1, 2009. Should the proposal be prepared in accordance with the new PRH guidelines effective July 1, 2009 or the former PRH guidelines? If the new PRH guidelines are required, will OASAM provide revised attachments (2110 Financial Display, Form J-4 and Staffing Chart, Form J-5)?

The PRH is the ruling document. The J4 Financial Display pages and J5 Staffing Chart are corrected/adjusted to read with the PRH language as attached.

2. Section C.3.C.13, Page 12, Are the offerors to propose the number of slots for the trades that are marked TBD? Additionally, on page 12 the welding trade is listed as TBD, but on page 77, the welding trade is listed as 30 slots. Which is correct?

A new page 21 was issued in Amendment 1.

3. Section G.1, Page 23, Are the Not To Exceed Cost Estimates provided in the table only for the 2 year base period as noted by the dates, or do they cover the full five year period of the contract? Additionally, Are the Not To Exceed Cost Estimates provided in the table at the bottom of Page 23 to be placed in the table on Pages 3 and 4?

The not to exceed cost estimates are for the full 5 year contract period.

4. If the Not to Exceed Cost Estimates are for five years, the calculation of $750,000 for CTST appears low, based on the number of CTST training slots of 210 and the $750 per training slot detailed on page 77. Please confirm this is the ceiling for the entire 5-year contract period.

The not to exceed cost estimates were adjusted in Amendment 1.

5. Section L.7.A, Pages 114-115, Part 7 of the table at the top of Page 115 requests an electronic copy of the entire submission on either CD or DVD. What format does OASAM prefer for the submission of the information?

This copy should be in Word or Adobe format.

6. Section L.7.A, Pages 114-115, Part 8 of the table at the top of Page 115 requests an electronic copy of the entire Section G of the RFP. Section G is also required to be submitted in its entirety in the BMP in Section L.7.B.5.a., Page 123 in Excel format on CD, does OASAM want Section G submitted on two CD’s in two different formats? Please clarify the format OASAM prefers for submission of this information.

The tables should be submitted in Excel format and the entire section G should be submitted in Word.

7. Section L.7.B.5.a.9., page 129 requires the submission of three different tables from Section G of the RFP, but no format for the information is provided. What format does OASAM prefer for submission of this information?

The tables should be submitted in Excel format.

2. The following question is being added to Section L.7.B.1.e (Administration and Management Support Services) (page 119):
