1 Solicitation On Attachment_001, the pricing matrix, most of the items are pretty straight forward. However, the welder is not. It makes a difference if the welder is welding pipe or structure steel. Can you please explain what is expected to be inputted as the base and fringe rate?

After review of the Davis Bacon Act (DBA), there is not a minimum wage and fringe that must be paid to welders. Because the "Welders" category represent only 1% or 1200 hours out of 120,000 hours included in the attachment, I would advise all offerors to price its proposed welders to capture a mix of potential welder positions.

In cases were the Statements of Work were vaguely stated or incomplete, may we include relevant information from the government's project specifications and/or drawings to illustrate relevance?

SEE AMENDMENT 002. SECTION L.4.1.3 (M) HAS BEEN AMENDED TO SAY

" COPIES OF THE STATEMENTS OF WORK FROM EACH OF THE

SUBMITTED CONTRACTS TO ESTABLISH THE RELEVANCE OF THE

CONTRACT TO THE SCOPE OF WORK ACTIVITIES LISTED IN L.4.1.2 ABOVE.

IN ADDITION TO THE COMPLETE STATEMENT OF WORK, THE OFFEROR

MAY PROVIDE SUBSTANTIATING DATA (I.E. DRAWINGS) TO SUPPORT THE

16 Solicitation Per Section L.4.1.3, paragraph M, offerors must provide "Copies of the Statements of Work from each of the submitted contracts to establish the relevance of the contract to the scope of work activities listed in L.4.1.2 above." As it is commonplace for Federal contracts to include sizable Statements of Work (SOW), we respectfully request that offerors be allowed to provide excerpts of SOW's as appropriate in place of entire SOW's. For example, one of our submitted contracts has an SOW of more than 1120 pages. If we are able to provide pages with relevant excerpts only, the SOW page count is reduced to just 11 pages. This will increase the ease of locating information and ease of transmission.

FOR ALL STATEMENTS OF WORK SUBMITTED, L.4.1.3 (J) STATES " IN ITS

DESCRIPTION, THE OFFEROR SHOULD SPECIFY THE LOCATION IN THE

PROPOSAL (TO INCLUDE FILENAME OR DOCUMENT REFERENCE WITH

PAGE AND PARAGRAPH OF THE PAST CONTRACT INFORMATION) THAT

24 Solicitation If a contractor pays its welder $20 dollars per hour with no fringes, that will be acceptable to the government?
