SUBJECT: Answers to Requests for Information, MATOC 2013

1. The following are questions and the government’s answers:

a. What is the wage decision number we are required to use for the prototypical project? Unless I’ve overlooked it, I didn’t see it included with the solicitation.

-ANSWER: See Exhibit E, “Wage Determination.”

b. If the 120 minute Emergency Response time cannot be met, will this exclude a contractor from award of the MATOC? There are parts of the state where that requirement will be improbable to meet.

-ANSWER: Response time is only one factor, and alone may not necessarily exclude a contractor from award.

c. What is the Performance Period that should be annotated in Exhibit “E”?

-ANSWER: Contract Duration/Performance Period is 180 days.
