Questions and Responses to the Performance Work Statement

1. Can the government confirm at which specific locations each of the 11 SMEs and SME role players listed under paras 5.2.1 to 5.2.11 will be working?

SMEs will work in Latham classrooms 204-205

2. Can the government please provide more clarity on the requirements for the “data collection cells” described in the para below? Will they be manned with the 11 SMEs identified in the PWS? If so, which SMEs at which locations? Or will they be manned by a different group of specialists, and if so—who, what, how many?

We need them at the physical locations to help keep the exercise on track.

3. Given that the daily shifts for the SMEs appear to run up to 15 hours, does the government desire the same SMEs to be working the same extended shifts each day? Or does the government desire that the contractor provide enough SMEs to work rotational shifts of 6-8 hours?

SMEs can work rotational shifts of 6-8 hours as that is what other personal will work.

4. Is there a requirement to be providing Casualty/Injury Role Player victims for this exercise? Or is that being done on another contract?

This will be on a different contract

5. Will the SME role players be required at all for final planning and preparation the day prior to exercise start?

No, but we will need them to come in prior to the exercise to get an "in brief" Wednesday April 11th 2018 in Latham.

6. Have any portions of the MSEL been developed already or is the Contractor walking into a blank slate?

The MSEL for the April portion of the exercise is not available.
