A: There are breaks, but we don't schedule them on paper in the agenda. Generally there is a morning and afternoon break 10-15 minutes. There is also a 30 minute lunch break.

7. The Performance Work Statement (on Page 30) states that the Contractor will schedule one hour in the third and fourth sessions to work on the class project, but Attachment C identifies one hour of class project work in Session 4, and not in Session 3.

Please clarify what is the period of performance.

A: Revised Attachments B and C are posted with this amendment along with the corrected Period of Performance dates.

A: No AAR is required for Session 9

Is this an error, or will it be expected that the location will change for those periods of instruction?

A: Revised Attachments B and C are posted with this amendment.

12. Attachment B identifies the location of Session 2, Day One and Two, will be the L/D Branch Office in Neville Island, PA, but Attachment C identifies the location of Session 2 Districtprovided training as being on the 12th Floor of the Federal Building which is in Pittsburgh, PA.
