Government Response

1 Attachment J.32 has significant influence on the proposal response and is critically dependent upon data contained in TE 5.1 (Historical Workload) and pending issue TE

5.2 (Projected Workload). J.32 data provides the basis for “Table 1, which is a rollup of Attachment J.32” and requires “the labor categories identified in the organizational chart match Attachment J.32– Proposed Productive Labor Hours in the Staffing Approach.”

Misalignments are prevalent throughout TE

5.1 and require clarification and realignment to support the contractor’s efforts to construct a meaningful and correlated response to the Government’s requirements for J.32, Table 1 and the Organizational Chart. Would the Government please clarify any discrepancies within TE 5.1 as well as realign TE 5.1 with J.32 to meet the compliance requirements of this solicitation?

Attachment J.32

Attachment J.32 is revised to clarify and define the end to end processes; and to better enable the development of proposed standards and assumptions.

The Government is requesting these items to filled in by Weight bands 1,2, 3 and 4 but the Project and Historical data does not break it out that way. Will the Government provide this data broken out by weight bands or change Attachment J.32.

Government Response

13 We are not explicitly instructed to complete Attachment J.32 (as we are instructed with Attachment J.33). We are, instead, instructed to “include a matrix of appropriate workforce to be assigned to fulfill the PWS requirements to include management and supervisory expertise to accomplish the effort and the identification of work performed on various shifts (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and/or weekend shifts) using the format in attachment J.32.” Are we to complete Attachment J.32 or are we to submit a table embedded within Technical using a format similar to Attachment J.32? If it is a table to be embedded within Technical, does this table count against the 100-page limitation?

P 64

Attachment J.32 Contractors shall complete Attachment J.32 and NOT embed a table within their technical proposal.

NOTE - When Historical or Projected Workload data is not available, the Offeror should include assumptions used in the development of the proposed standards as part of their detailed technical narrative, provided separate from the J.32 attachment.
