This implies that the proposed FRP Prime contractor should submit 60% of the Attachment 3 projects regardless if the FRP Prime's role was as a prime or a subcontractor on the Attachment 3 project; and, that our proposed "key subcontractors" shall not provide 60% of the Attachment 3 projects.

This implies that the proposed FRP Prime contractor should submit 60% of the Attachment 3 projects only if their role was AS a Prime and not AS a subcontractor on the Attachment 3 project; and, no criteria as to how many Attachment 3 projects our "key subcontractors" can provide.

"Key subcontractors" is defined as a subcontractor who will perform at least 20% of the total contract value.

Section L and Section M appear to conflict. Could the government please clarify?
