SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following items are applicable to this modification:

a. The purpose of this amendment is to make changes and to provide responses to vendors’ questions as shown below.

1. To change the last sentence of sub-paragraph 6.3.1. of Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 as follows: The definition of Fully Burdened Labor Rate is fully loaded hourly rate that includes all salary, overhead costs, general administrative expenses, and profit. In addition, the sub-paragraph 3.2.1 of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) has been changed to read as follows: The detailed breakdown of the MND formatted cost estimate shall be written in English or Korean language.

2. To make changes to Attachment D of the solicitation.

3. To extend the closing date and time of the solicitation to 12 December 2022 at 1:00 p.m.

4. To answer vendors’ questions as shown below:

i. Question 1: Do we require to submit the fee proposal for Attachment E (Osan East Campus Fitness

Center)? We would like to clarify it due to the Attachment E cited as a sample project in the solicitation.

Response: Offerors are required to submit completed Attachments A and D with their proposal as specified in the solicitation. Please refer to paragraph 6 titled “Proposal Submittal” within Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 of the solicitation. Attachment A is the Price Table that offeror shall submit its prices for the base contract.

Attachment D is the Price Table of the Sample Task Order that the Offeror shall submit as part of its technical proposal. For Attachment D, requirement is outlined in Attachment C with the PWS and Attachment E with the drawings.

ii. Question 2: Last week, I submitted a revalidation of SAM certification due to expired SAM registration. The re-validation process is expected to take long (at least a month). Please advise.

Response: In accordance with FAR 52.204-7, all Offerors shall be registered in SAM at the time of proposal submission and continue to be registered. Please see FAR clause 52.204-7 for more detailed information.

iii. Question 3: Can additional Labor Rates be proposed beyond those listed in RFP Attachment A – Price Table?

Response: No, the Offerors are required to propose fully burdened rates for the labor categories identified in Attachment A of the solicitation.

iv. Question 4: Please confirm whether travel and per diem are to be included in the fully burdened labor rates or if they are to be priced separately as suggested in RFP Attachment D – Price Table for Sample Task Order?

Response: The format of Attachment D is more of a breakdown, but the Attachment A centers on Fully Burdened Labor Rate for each labor category when considering labor section of the attachment.

Typically, there should be no per diem incurred into the costs of providing the services outlined in each project. Depending on each project, travel expenses may occur due to number of meetings held at the Government installation(s).

The definition of Fully Burdened Labor Rate mentioned in sub-paragraph 6.3.1 of Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 has been changed as shown in the following: The definition of Fully Burdened Labor Rate is fully loaded hourly rate that includes all salary, overhead costs, general administrative expenses, and profit.

v. Question 5: I read the solicitation and it says at page 9 (total 65 pages) there is specific tasks such as:

3.2.1. The detailed breakdowns of the MND format cost estimate shall be written in the Korean language only. I just want to clarify that if the cost estimate written by English or some items which need to written by Korean language.

Response: Sub-paragraph 3.2.1 of the PWS has been changed as follows: The detailed breakdown of the MND formatted cost estimate shall be written in English or Korean language.

b. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
