7 Attachment 0001 - Pricing Matrix N/A Per the Attachment_0001_-_Pricing_Matrix.xlsx document it calculates the final burdened wage rate for trade. How does this represent the use of lower-tier build contractors on task orders? Are we to build the markup costs into the Other Indirect Labor column?

Direct labor and fringe are mandated by the Davis Bacon Act. Regardless if the employee works directly for your organization or a subcontractor, they must receive the prescribed minimum direct labor and fringe dollars per hour. The EMPLOYEE FULLY BURDENED PAY ($ per hour) (Column "K" in all OP worksheets on Attachment 0001) represents a maximum RATE you may propose during the task order competitions if you are awarded a base contract. What to pay employees by labor category and where to include "Other" costs is up to the offeror.

Question and Answer Log

Question Number Document Document Reference Question/Comments Answer/Response Date Received Date Posted 8 Attachment 0001 - Pricing Matrix &

Solicitation Section L.4.2.2.3 Are the rates to be provided in the Attachment_0001_-_Pricing_Matrix.xlsx document for evaluation only and will not tie the bidding Small Business Firms to these 5-year Extended Prices (as it alludes to under Section L.4.2.2.3, “For the purpose of evaluation only…”)?

Scope of Work Paragraph 17.2 on page 12 of the solicitation states "The labor categories and their respective ceiling prices proposed within this contract's Pricing Labor Matrix (Attachment 0001) will be made a material part of the awarded IDIQ MATOC and shall be used to propose labor rates at the task order level."

In addition, Paragraph L.4.2.2.1.2 on page 40 of the solicitation states "Within Attachment 0001 - Pricing Worksheet, propose direct labor ($ per hour), fringe ($ per hour), other indirect labor costs ($ per hour), and profit ($ per hour). Attachment 0001 - Pricing Worksheet will then use these proposed inputs to calculate the fully burdened hourly ceiling labor rate and total extended price for each labor category for each period (Ordering Years 1 through 5).

Therefore, in accordance with the solicitation paragraphs cited above, the fully burdened hourly labor rates proposed for each labor category in Attachment 0001 - Pricing Worksheet will be made part of the awarded IDIQ MATOC and will serve as ceiling rates that offerors will be required to propose at or below during task order competitions.
