QUESTIONS_AND_ANSWERS_-_10_AUGUST_2016.pdf

C.12.2.1 states that no indirect costs are to be applied to Travel costs. In Amendment #2, in the answer to Question #27 the Government reiterates that G&A is not to be applied to Travel costs, and travel costs are directly reimbursable only, with the 200/100 stipend.

However, In Attachment 5, the Government has included an automatic calculation of G&A on

Travel costs at cell I34 for Year 1, and cell I35 for Years 2‐5. However, given the answer to

Question 27, this amount is not allowed and therefore should not be included in the total evaluated price because it will eventually be the same for all offerors. May we change the rates in the referenced cells to 0.00% in place of the current formula?

ANSWER: ODC for travel arrangements ‐ $200.00 per instructor per MTT can be charged and

$100.00 per change per instructor per MTT. This is not G&A. This is a flat ODC charge per instructor, per

MTT.

Follow Up Question – Yes, we understand it is a flat fee. The question is related to the Excel Pricing

Workbook at Attachment 5 to the solicitation.

This includes a G&A rate in a blue cell that applies to the Travel. Because the Government is using a fixed fee and not allowing G&A on travel, can we change the referenced cells to 0% to reflect a flat fee rather than G&A?

ANSWER: Yes, enter in 0% in cell I34 for Year 1, and in cell I35 for Years 2‐5.
