AMENDMENT OF SOLICITATION/MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT

1. CONTRACT ID CODE OF PAGES

72067418R00005 Amendment No.03

1.In follow-up to question 58, can USAID confirm if CVs are required for the technical proposal, cost proposal, or both volumes? The RFP lists the sample CVs as part of Part 2- Proposed Prices, however USAID’s Q&A response states that CVs are required for the technical.

Please refer to page eight of the original proposal. The only cost data required is for the matrix of cells designated with dollar ($) signs. Please provide the Unburdened Daily Ceiling Rate for each designated cell - the rate that accords to the labor category in the left column and the professional level in the top row. Similarly, one illustrative CV is required for each cell that requires an Unburdened Daily Ceiling Rate - i.e. 3 CVs for each labor category (senior, mid-level and junior), with the exception of the Team Leader, which only requires a senior-level CV, and the Administrative Support Specialists, which require one CV at the mid-level and one CV at the junior level. In total, 45 CVs and 45 Unburdened Daily Ceiling Rates are required.

2. In follow up to question 5, can USAID please clarify what is needed for the subcontractor budget narrative given that this is an IDIQ and only Ceiling Daily Rates (CDR) are required at this stage?

Yes, only Unburdened Daily Ceiling Rates are required at this stage.

3. With regard to the first question of Amendment #2, can USAID elaborate on what is meant by “Yes, for the Administrative Support Specialists labor category only”? Does that mean that – as suggested – only one illustrative senior-level CV is accepted per labor category and one mid-level CV for the ASS labor category, or that only for the ASS category one CV is accepted, but for the remaining labor categories one CV per category would not be enough?

Please see the response to question 1. above. Three illustrative CVs are required for each labor category (senior, mid-level and junior), with the exception of the Team Leader, which only requires a senior-level CV, and the Administrative Support Specialists, which require one CV at the mid-level and one CV at the junior level.
