A7: The expected annual mileage would be 2,000 miles. The Contractor would drive to nearby bases such as but not limited to Landstuhl or Sembach Army bases. It is not possible to give an estimated time the contractor would be driving around since traffic plays a major role in the estimation and the contractor would be driving around 2 or 3 times a week. The estimated mileage per week is between 20 – 25 miles.

Q8: PWS 3.1 Services: The Government may reserve the Contractor a GOV seat in order to attend required trainings, meetings, and/or events if feasible.

All lesson plans are provided to Contractor by the FAPM. Given that the work on this contract is primarily administrative in nature, would the Government consider removing the qualification to “develop and implement” a training program?

A9: No, the Government will not consider removing that qualification.
