Amendment 01

1. Acknowledgement of Amendments: When acknowledging the Amendments on the SF-33 form, should we denote the 30 July amendment as Amendment 1 per the SF-30 or as Amendment 2 per FBO? If as Amendment 1, how do we distinguish between the 25 July and 30 July 2015 amendments?

USAID: Note that Solicitation amendments (issued on SF 30) are not the same as FBO Notices amendments (providing alerts). Additionally, the Solicitation does not require Offerors to acknowledge receipt of the solicitation or its amendments.

2. Table on Contents and Page Limitations: Would you please confirm that resumes are required only for the three (3) Key Personnel (COP, DCOP, and Financial/Contract Administrator)?

USAID: The table is clear. Narratives for key personnel and technical specialists must be included as Annex E to the SF 330.

3. Table on Contents and Page Limitations: The revised table requests 5 separate Section G forms – one for each project. In Section G, we typically include all 5 projects on 1 Section G form – each project in a different column. Would this be acceptable instead of a separate Section G for each project?

USAID: We recommend that Offerors comply with the solicitation instructions.

4. Table on Contents and Page Limitations: The revised table does not request a List of References for the Key Personnel. Would you please confirm that this is no longer required?

USAID: List of References for Key Personnel should be included as Annex to Section E of SF 330.

5. Question #6 Response: Would you please confirm that the requirement for “Five (5) Past Performance Forms shall be completed for each of the firms included in the proposed Team” applies ONLY to when a subcontractor’s experience is included as 1 of the 5 projects in Section F? Therefore, if only the Prime provides 5 projects in Section E, only 5 Past Performance Forms” are required, which will be from the Prime for the 5 projects presented in Section F.

USAID: Yes.

6. No page limit was provided for a Table of Contents or a Cover Letter to accompany the proposal. Would you please confirm that a Table of Contents and a Cover Letter may be included and that they would not count as part of the page limit?

USAID: Yes, table of contents, dividers, tabs do not count. The Cover Letter must not exceed three (3) pages.
