1) The PWS has two dates which conflict with each other.

PWS Para 1.4.4 states, fourteen (14) hour coverage is expected on the days of the CPXs:2-4 November 2017, 7-8 April 2018. Performance shall be at Reserve Forces Services Center, 3423 North Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, Lansing, MI 48906.

Technical Exhibit 3- Estimated Workload, provides a table which indicates difference CPX 1 and 2 dates.

The dates in TE 3 are correct. The PWS will be adjusted to correct the error in 1.4.4.

2) Paragraph 1.4.12 Contractor Travel states the Contractor shall travel to 3423 N. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, Lansing, MI 48906 during the performance of this contract. Travel costs shall be at the expense of the Contractor. As currently written, this would indicate that only companies in the Lansing, MI geographical area would be able to bid on this contract since no travel could be included in the price. If travel is to be included in a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and not as a reimbursable expense, then it should be stated as such.

It does not state anywhere in the solicitation that travel is not to be included in the quoted price. It actually states the opposite. The solicitation states:

This requirement is firm fixed price. Pricing must be a fixed price for the entirety of work quoted. Travel must be included in the purchase price, not as a separate line item. Travel will not be reimbursable.

The PWS states, "Travel costs shall be at the expense of the Contractor."

There is no intent to create a local area set aside for Lansing, MI. The intent is for travel to be included in the purchase price and not as a cost reimbursement line.
