(a) Award of any contract resulting from this solicitation shall be made using source selection procedures.

Proposals submitted in response to the solicitation will be evaluated by a board of one or more Government personnel, with selection made on the basis of each offeror's ability to satisfy the requirements of the solicitation. Final selection will be made by the Source Selection Authority.

(b) Award will be made on the basis of the proposal that conforms to the solicitation and is determined to contain the combination of technical management, past performance, evaluated price, and contractor’s accounting system representing the best overall value to the Government for this solicitation. Technical management factor is significantly more important than the combined factors of past performance, evaluated price, and contractor’s accounting system. As proposals become more equal in their technical merit, past performance, evaluated price, and contractor’s accounting system become more important. Past performance is more important than evaluated price, which is more important than the contractor’s accounting system.

(1) TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT. Within this factor, the following 4 subfactors are of equal importance:

(i) Training Approach

(ii) Previous experience

(iii) Project Manager Qualifications, and

(iv) Corporate Technology and Innovation

(2) PAST PERFORMANCE. This factor will be evaluated using information from references provided by the Contractor in the SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING OFFERS (ENVIRONMENTAL) provision. The Government reserves the right to consider any additional information on the offeror obtained through other sources. (L-0003 L201-01

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING OFFERS (ENVIRONMENTAL)

(3) EVALUATED PRICE. The price will be evaluated by adding CLINs 1001 (Year 1 OPA 90 Training), 1002 (Year 2 OPA 90 Training), 1003 (Year 3 OPA 90 Training), and 1004 (Oil Spill Response (OCONUS) Training) together. CLIN 1005 (Travel) will not be evaluated as it is a cost reimbursable CLIN and shall be in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR). Travel expenses will be evaluated upon issuance of the Task Order. CLIN 1006 (Other Direct Cost (ODC) will not be evaluated as it is a cost reimbursable CLIN and shall be negotiated upon issuance of the Task Order. CLIN 1007 will be evaluated for reasonableness and negotiated during discussions.

Offeror’s price shall be evaluated for price realism to determine whether the offeror understands the requirements and to determine the firm’s responsibility IAW FAR 9.104-1(b). The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest evaluated price.

(4) CONTRACTOR’S ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. This factor will be based on a pass/fail basis. An offeror that submits written disclosure of its cost accounting system and practices which includes specific training costs on a specific training basis and by contract task order and line item will pass. An offeror that does not submit a cost accounting system and practices including the above shall fail.

(c) Award(s) will be made to the offeror(s) whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, after consideration of all evaluation factors listed above.

L-0003 L201.01 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING OFFERS (ENVIRONMENTAL) (DLA

Energy Jan 2011)

The proposal shall consist of the completed SF 1449, (Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial), including certifications and representations, and the following information which is divided into four parts. The offeror shall submit an original proposal with the four parts clearly labeled and three copies of the technical proposal. In addition, the offeror should include a brief introduction of their company in a cover letter. The introduction may include a discussion of corporate background and facilities, office locations, general experience and capabilities, number of employees, etc. Proposals shall be submitted to DLA Energy in a bound or loose-leaf format using single-spaced type, and if possible, double-sided pages. Colored tabs may be used to separate various sections in the proposal. A separate table of contents shall be included for the technical portion. Color photographs, charts, and illustrations may be included in the proposal.

1. OFFEROR SUBMISSION PACKAGE. Complete all required representations and certifications, and provide proposed prices in the SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES (ENVIRONMENTAL) clause. The SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES (ENVIRONMENTAL) clause should be printed out in hard copy and submitted as part of the Offeror Submission Package. Prices proposed will be evaluated to determine the best value for the Government and must be based on descriptions of tasks as stated in the Performance Work Statement. The proposed prices in the SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES (ENVIRONMENTAL) clause for Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) 1001 through 1005 shall include all project management costs. Note that CLIN 1006 is for Other Direct Costs that may occur at a site which are not included in CLINs 1001 through 1005. CLIN 1007 is to be expressed as the percent mark-up for overhead and profit (OH&P) that the Contractor will charge for work ordered by the Government under CLIN 1006. CLIN 1006 is the only task under the contract for which the Contractor will be entitled to mark-ups for OH&P.

2. TECHNICAL PROPOSAL. One project category has been established for this procurement: oil spill response training. Proposals shall clearly and completely address the appropriate technical elements described in paragraph (c) below. Responses to these elements will form the basis for scoring the technical merits of an offeror’s proposal. Information presented in the technical proposal should clearly demonstrate that the offeror is fully capable and prepared to perform tasks described in the scope of work and to demonstrate the offeror’s understanding of the requirements and associated problems. A technical proposal will be considered unsatisfactory if inadequate or insufficient information is submitted, which will exclude it from further consideration. Technical proposals should be limited to no more than fifty pages. Three complete copies of each part shall be submitted to DLA Energy. Proposals should identify any assumptions made with respect to costs, schedule, materials, labor, etc. Proposals become the property of the Government subject to any privacy and copyright restrictions prescribed by the offeror.

(a) Elements of the Technical Proposal. Four technical elements have been established for this procurement. They are: (1) training approach; (2) offeror’s previous experience; (3) project manager’s qualifications; and, (4) corporate technology and innovation. Offerors shall clearly and completely address all technical elements included in the submitted proposal.

(b) Cost Proposals for Representative Projects: Offerors shall prepare a cost proposal addressing the representative project described below. The cost proposal shall discuss at a minimum: (1) the purpose, objectives, and scope of the representative project; (2) describe contractor procedures, methods, and the level of effort required to complete the task; and, (3) provide a breakout of labor costs, man-hours, materials, and travel. A fictitious DoD petroleum storage facility will serve as the model for this exercise and is described below. Sample cost proposals shall address this facility. For this element, the offeror is to submit a cost proposal for conducting Year 3 Training for responding to a worst-case discharge scenario. This shall consist of a listing using the additional Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) that will be included in the contract (see Section B, SUPPLIES /SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS) that the offeror would anticipate using to accomplish Year 3 Training at the facility.

REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT

The facility is a government-owned/contractor-operated (GOCO) Defense Fuel Support Point. The government awarded the terminal operating contract to a new contractor in 2007. This storage facility is one mile from an environmentally sensitive water body (the bay) and is in the west-northwest corner of a military installation. The terminal is situated on flat terrain composed of porous, sandy soil and sits adjacent to a residential area on the north side and a wetlands area on the west side. The site elevations are approximately 3 to 5 feet above mean sea level. A shallow water table aquifer lies about 1 to 3 feet underneath the ground surface. The upper limit of tidal influence is about the location of the facility fuel terminal. It is surrounded by mangroves, which are vital to the ecology of the bay, providing food and shelter for numerous fish and shellfish. The bay also offers prime protection for larvae and juvenile fish species and resting areas and rookeries for coastal birds. The estuarine system supports crustaceans that are commercially important to the bay area economy.

The facilities associated with the fuel terminal facility consist of a fuel pier in local commercial port at the commercial marine transfer dock, four JP-8 bulk fuel storage tanks (three in-service), two tank truck fuel loading/unloading racks, a pumping station, and two 8-inch, 4,260-foot-long, single-walled steel, mostly underground pipelines leading to the commercial marine transfer manifold near the commercial dock. The marine transfer offloading services are leased from the commercial dock owner, and the only product handled is JP-8. The 8-inch JP-8 pipelines are almost entirely underground from the fuel facility boundary to commercial port and lie within a government right-of-way that runs through mangrove wetlands and across a local recreational area creek.

All other fuel facility bulk fuel piping is aboveground. There is one 10-inch bulk fuel aboveground pipeline that connects the facility with adjacent military installation bulk jet fuel storage and operations. The military installation is responsible for the maintenance and inspection of this one 10-inch aboveground pipeline that originates at the GOCO fuel facility pump house and terminates at military installation bulk jet fuel storage.

Recently Completed Oil-Related Projects The fuel facility has been in operation for over 50 years. Recent improvements were identified and funding and construction were authorized for the updates listed below. The following significant modifications have been completed at the facility in the last 2 to 3 years:

Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) 5, 6, and 7 were decommissioned and demolished.

AST-4 was rendered out of service.

Geomembrane liner was installed in diked areas of AST-1, AST-2, and AST-3.

AST-1, -2, and -3 have a total storage capacity of 1,732,500 gal each.

Aboveground piping for AST-1, AST-2, and AST-3 was repaired.

AST-106 was replaced with AST-103 and AST-104.

AST-105 was removed (new AST is pending).

AST-PCW2 was installed at the pump house.

Repairs to tank truck loading/unloading racks, including aboveground piping improvements, were completed.

Two oil water separators (OWSs) and new facility-wide drainage system were installed/modified.

Aboveground pipelines from the fuel facility to the military installation bulk jet fuel storage were installed; however, as previously stated these pipelines are not the responsibility of the GOCO.

This facility conducts JP-8 transfer operations in the Florida area. All JP-8 is received through two 8-inch pipelines through a nearby commercial fuel terminal. JP-8 is then shipped via pipeline to a local military installation and to other stations via truck.

The normal daily throughput from vessel transfers operations is approximately 4,400 barrels or 184,800 gallons.

The facility operates a tank truck and pipeline transfer operation to a local military installation. This local military installation receives an estimated 1.5 million gallons of JP-8 per month via the trans-facility pipeline. Other government customers purchase a combined total of approximately 1.5 million gallons per month and use tank trucks to transport the fuel from the facility. The estimated annual throughput of JP-8 at this facility is 36.5 million gallons.

(vii) A listing of subcontractors used for reference contracts/subcontracts with their designation as a large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, or women-owned small business; or Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions

4. CONTRACTOR’S ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. The Contractor must provide written disclosure of the cost accounting system and practices for the contract which shall identify and record site-specific costs on a site-specific basis and by contract task order and line item. Site-specific cost documentation for each contract task order must be readily retrievable and sufficiently identifiable to enable cross-referencing with payment vouchers. The foregoing is in addition to and/or complimentary to other Cost Accounting Standards clauses in the contract.

OPA 90/OIL SPILL RESPONSE TRAINING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Do you have an estimated amount of time (days) that you expect for each type of training (yr 1, yr2 yr3) IN CONUS? In particular, the year 3 training would require some up front training with the Depot and then some exercise that supports their Spill Response Plan for their worst case spill scenario. While yr 1 training just goes over the most likely type of spill. Therefore, one would not expect several days of training for this.

Answer: This information should be provided by the offeror for each CLIN identified in this solicitation as part of the Offerors proposal and submission package.

2. Since OCONUS training is not OPA 90 Training- is the assumption that the average number of TRAINING Days is 1 to 2?

Answer: There is no assumption on the number of days to perform the training at OCONUS sites. All contractors assumptions should be clearly identified in the offerors’ submittal package and proposal.

3. Breakdown of the CLINs, showing overhead and profit separately. Does the overhead CLIN include all burdens (overhead, fringe, G&A) or just overhead? The clause explaining this is unclear-- are the other CLINS inclusive of overhead and profit, or are they direct costs only?

Answer: CLINs 1001 – 1004 should include Project Management cost, overhead, fringe, and G&A.

4. Are you wanting us to price the CLINS in addition to the representative task?

Answer: Clause B-0001 B34.01 SERVICES TO BE FURISHED AND PRICES should include your offered prices for this work. The representative task uses your offered prices to formulate your cost proposal for the representative project.

5. Since travel costs will be reimbursed, we do not have to price travel to the specific locations identified for each year's training (yr1, yr 2, yr 3)?

Answer: Travel costs are reimbursable at the JTR rates; only those cost allowable under the JTR will be reimbursed. You do not need to include travel costs in your prices for the CLINs.

6. This is a 5 year contract- DLA-E desires a quote for 5 years of services with the type of training provided cycling through the 1-3 year progression identified in the proposal for CONUS AND OCONUS and then using yr 1 Depots for yr 4 and yr 2 Depots for yr 5?

Answer: All of the locations identified in the proposal will need Spill Response Training in 2012. These same locations will need training every year (annually) under this solicitation. The chart in the PWS is provided to show the current cycle of training for each location. Example: In 2012 year 1 training locations/site will need year 1 training, year 2 training in 2013, year 3 training in 2014, and the cycle will start over at year 1 training in 2015.

7. The specific Depot's Spill Response plan will be provided how far in advance of the requested training date? Weeks or Months in advance (for planning purposes only).

Answer: All required documents for developing and performing spill response training will be provided to the successful offeror at contract award on an as needed basis.

8. If outside agencies (USCG, EPA, ETC...) were to be included in the spill response training, WOULD the LOCAL Depot be required to contact the outside agency and arrange for their presence during the drill/training evolutions or would the prime contractor be required to contact the outside agency?

Answer: The awardee will be responsible to contact, coordinate and arrange all aspects of the training to be performed at each location.

9. Will previous year's critiques be made available to the new contract awardee as part of the schedule deliveries for next year’s training at specific depots?

Answer: The previous year’s critiques WILL NOT be made available to the new contract awardee. The critiques are past performance information on the current contractor.

10. INT-B34.01 states "the full text of this clause is included in the Offeror Submission Package at Attachment 2, " however it is not. Will DLA be providing the full text for this clause?

Answer: The changes to B-0001 B34.01 SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES are included in this amendment.

11. Would DLA consider adding a CLIN for OCONUS training? As noted at the pre-proposal conference, there are no year 1 - 3 requirements for OCONUS sites.

Answer: CLIN 1004 has been added to the B-0001 B34.01 SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES clause.

12. At the pre-proposal conference, DLA indicated it intends to evaluate the resumes of the proposed trainers. This is not reflected in INT-M28.04 Basis of Award, which indicates only the Project Manager Qualifications will be evaluated. Will DLA modify INT-M28.04 to reflect the correct subfactors to be evaluated under the Technical Management section?

Answer: Modification to the M-0001 M28.04 BASIS OF AWARD clause is included in this amendment.

13. Element No. 4, In-House Technology, at the bottom of page 84 of the solicitation, appears to have been lifted from the DLA Energy Environmental Plans solicitation without being modified to reflect the DLA Energy requirements voiced in the pre-proposal conference, and requires a discussion of technologies that may not be applicable for oil spill response training. Additionally, the title of the evaluation factor in Section INT-M28.04 Basis of Award is "Corporate Technology and Innovation" which is different than the requested proposal input. Will DLA kindly correct these sections?

Answer: The M-0001 M28.04 BASIS OF AWARD clause has been modified to reflect “Corporate Technology and Innovation.” It appears in this amendment.

14. Are there specific DoD regulations in addition to the OPA 90 guidelines that the vendor will be expected to include in this training program. If so, where may I find them?

Answer: The Facility Response Plan for each location includes the applicable local regulations and guidelines. These plans will be provided to the awardee.

15. With certain installations having site specific requirements, will there be a point of contact that will provide the vendor with that information as to allow us to if need be tailor the program to meet their needs?

Answer: A point of contact listing will be provided to the awardee of the new contract for each installation.

16. The "Clause Index" Section 52.228.5 mentions that the insurance carried must be in accordance to the "Schedule". Where may I find this "Schedule?

Answer: Clause H-0003 H51.03 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS has been added to the solicitation which includes the requirements for insurance. Insurance will be required upon contract award.

17. Insurance is again mentioned the "Clause Index" in Section 52.246-25. Again, where can I find the specific guidelines for this reference?

Answer: Clause H-0003 H51.03 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS has been added to the solicitation which includes the requirements for insurance. Insurance will be required upon contract award.

18. During the Technical review portion of the pre-proposal meeting at Fort Belvoir on Wednesday, October 12, a good deal of emphasis was placed on DLA Energy’s European facilities, execution of work there, and the differences with the CONUS facilities. Though the preponderance of the DLA Energy DFSP facilities are within CONUS, it appears that there may be greater weight on experience placed on foreign projects. Is this correct?

Answer: Contractor experience in CONUS and OCONUS will be considered equally.

The overseas portion was highlighted in the preproposal conference so contractors are aware that overseas locations do not follow OPA 90 or PREP training.

19. During that same Technical review presentation there was also repeated emphasis placed upon training “retail” fueling facilities in addition to wholesale facilities. In the solicitation it is stated that training of retail facilities will not directly count toward the minimum experience requirements. Additionally, it is our understanding that DLA Energy’s DFSPs are not directly involved in retail operations, typically understood to be more like gas stations. Is there a shift in direction of the technical portion of the solicitation that will require retail-level training experience and should this type of work be included in our submission as project experience? Will retail experience now be included in the review criteria?

Answer: DLA-Energy’s primary responsibility is for operation of bulk (wholesale) fuel storage and distribution facilities. While retail experience will be considered, the primary focus will be on bulk fuel facilities.

20. The solicitation sets a three-year limit on Project Manager and company experience for inclusion with listing of minimum requirements. During the Technical review presentation, the presenter stated that three or five years. Has this requirement, or will this requirement, be changed from three years to five years?

Answer: The appropriate sections of the solicitation will be changed to reflect 5 years vice 3 years for past experience. More emphasis will be placed on the type of training (Bulk POL facility, retail POL facility, non-POL facility) spill response versus emergency HAZMAT response training.

21. For overall experience of a proposing team, small business prime contractor supported by a qualified sub-contractor, will only the experience of the prime contractor be considered or will the overall team qualifications, including the experience of the sub-contractor, be considered in the minimum requirements?

Answer: The evaluation will be of the prime contractor experience. The experience of the sub-contractor will on be considered if there is a formal arrangement (Joint Venture, mentoring agreement, etc.,) between the two entities. A list of potential sub-contractors and their experience does not qualify for consideration, unless there is a formal binding agreement in place. The respective roles identified for each partner in the agreement should be provided as part of the submittal package.

22. When discussing computer-based interactive training as referenced during the Technical review presentation, will DLA Energy provide computers for all the participants or provide other appropriate facilities at each training event so that they might engage with an interactive tool proposed by DLA Energy? How should this be addressed in the proposal and as ODCs in the sample problem?

Answer: DLA-Energy will not provide any government furnished equipment (GFE), computers or IT equipment. It is up to the contractor to furnish or ensure appropriate equipment is available for all training performed under this contract.

23. The proposal references “in-house-technology”. Is this the same as the same as the “computer-based interactive training” referenced at the pre-proposal conference and should be addressed as such in that section of the proposal?

Answer: The wording “In-House Technology” has been changed to reflect “Corporate Technology and Innovation.” Corporate Technology and Innovation is not the same as computer-based interactive training. Computer based interactive training was offered only as an example of potential innovative technology in proposal preparation.

24. Again, during the Training review presentation, it was said that the proposed Project Manager will manage, perform, and prepare individual trainings both CONUS and OCONUS and that the overall experience of the Project Manager should be focused on oil spill training but that is not a limiting factor and health and safety training was given as an example. Does this mean that in presenting the minimum project experience for the proposed Project Manager it is acceptable, or even preferable, to include projects that were not oil spill-specific in the minimum ten projects in three years?

Answer: The preference under this solicitation is for the project manager to have oil spill response training experience. Other types of emergency response training (i.e.:

HAZMAT, health and safety, etc.) will be evaluated on their relevance to oil spill response training.

25. Will the successful bidder execute unannounced exercises in accordance with PREP to ensure DLA Energy compliance with their facilities? If so, how will these be internally scheduled? How should this issue be addressed in the solicitation?

Answer: No. The installations are required to execute unannounced exercises as their schedules permit; however, the requirements for unannounced exercises should be mentioned during training.

26. PREP is a voluntary, minimum set of guidelines developed by the four US regulatory agencies who oversee oil production, refining, storage, and distribution. Will DLA Energy entertain other options for meeting compliance with 40 CFR 112.21 that meets the intent of PREP and is approved by regulators overseeing CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories where DLA Energy maintains facilities? Should this be addressed in the “new perspective for attaining compliance” referenced at the pre-proposal conference?

Answer: PREP is the baseline DLA Energy uses for training purposes. Other options for meeting PREP should be clearly addressed as “new perspective for attaining compliance” in the proposal.

27. If a proposing company and Project Manager also have extensive experience in actual oil spill response should this be included in the list of previous experience? This would be in line with the tenets of PREP since exercise credit can be taken for an actual response. Will credit be given?

Answer: This experience can be included. Identify role (manual labor, command structure, specific incident plan writing, etc.) of company and of the Project Manager in the actual response. In addition, the proposal should indicate how actual spill response corresponds to the spill response training requirement of this solicitation.

28. Concerning the travel component CLIN 1004: Should bidders include the total sum of anticipated travel costs for CLINS 1001, 1002, and 1003 in CLIN 1004 section B34.01 for all 2012 training tasks?

Answer: No. You do not need to include travel costs in your prices for these CLINs.

The travel CLIN is CLIN 1005 and it is a cost reimbursable.

29. I am wondering if it would be possible to see last years schedule of completed training- that would help us in further defining our assumptions about cost and amount of resources required to support this effort.

Answer: Last year schedule of completed training is included in Part 7 of the PWS.

30. Under Technical Proposal, the RFP states that the Bidder will submit (a) (1) Technical Approach but then also asks under (b) for a cost proposal and under (c) (1) a cost proposal for accomplishing the annual oil spill Response training. As this is a fixed price contract per CLIN, are you really looking for the bidder to provide a cost proposal with the technical approach or just the level of effort required to perform the work being recommended?

Answer: The contractor’s offered prices will appear in clause B-0001 B34.01 SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES. In addition to the prices, we want the contractor to provide a sample proposal, using the prices he/she gives us in clause B- 0001 B34.01 SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES, so we know how he/she will price the task orders.

31. If we are to prepare a cost proposal, the RFP states that the travel will be an “at cost reimbursement” and that the bidder does not need to fill in CLIN 004; do we need to provide travel cost breakdowns for the cost proposal of the sample project?

Answer: Yes, we need to ensure that each contractor is aware of the requirements of the JTR and use those rates for all work performed under this contract. There is a rate for all locations not specifically listed (All Places Not Listed; Standard CONUS Rate) in the JTR per diem rates which is the rate the contractor should use in preparation of the proposal. For OCONUS travel there is an “Other” rate listed for each country. This rate should be used when a specific City location is not listed under the country rates.

32. Do you anticipate that the training and equipment inspections will take place on the same day or over a two day period?

Answer: This will vary depending on the complexity of the facility and the training being performed at the facility (Year 1, 2, or 3; WCD, MPD or Small discharge; location; etc.)

33. Do you anticipate and has there been involvement of outside agencies in the training/exercises?

Answer: Yes, this varies depending on the complexity of the planned training and release history of the facility. Most involvement from outside agencies is for worse case discharge. Occasionally, there has been involvement from outside agencies for smaller exercises.

34. Our team has a question concerning the Workload Data in Part 7 (pp 11 and 12) relating to the pricing listed in Section B INT-B34.01. The second table lists OCONUS training by region not year of training. How do you want bidders to handle the pricing for OCONUS Oil Spill Training and where should the price be listed? First do you want these facilities included? If so, should a separate CLIN be added to cover the OCONUS facility pricing or should these facilities be rolled into CLINs 1001-1003 and if so how should they be distributed?

Answer: The B-0001 B34.01 SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED AND PRICES clause has been modified to include a separate CLIN for OCONUS Oil Spill Training. The modified clause has been included in this amendment.

35. Within the first paragraph of Clause INT-L201.01.100 (page 82) in Section L, the following is stated: “The offeror shall submit an original and three copies of the proposal with the four parts clearly labeled”. However, in the same clause under the section labeled 2. TECHNICAL PROPOSAL (page 82), the following is stated: “Two complete copies of each part shall be submitted to DLA Energy”. Based on this requirement, is DLA Energy requesting that the offeror provide two complete copies of all four Technical Proposal elements (Element No. 1, Prepare Sample Cost Proposal for Accomplishing Annual Oil Spill Response Training; Element No. 2 Offeror’s Previous Experience;

Element No. 3, Project Manager’s Qualifications; and Element No. 4, In-House Technology) in both the original and the three copies of the proposal submitted to DLA Energy? If this is not the intent of the stated requirement, please provide specific clarification as to what is required.

Answer: Clause L-0003 L201.01 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING OFFERS has been modified to clarify this and is included in this amendment.
