| PWS 1.2.1 |
| Para. 1.2.1 states that the Contractor shall provide fully qualified personnel per Exhibit O – Minimum Staffing Requirements, yet the Exhibits published on 14 Dec did not include Exhibit O, which is the key exhibit that prescribes the PWS staffing requirements. |
Will the Government please provide Exhibit O?
Exhibit O posted.
PWS 2.1
The PWS requires three key management personnel on site: PM, DPM, and TCM. CLIN 005 allows us to price the TCM as part of the CLIN.
Where should the Contractor price the PM and DPM, or is it the Government intention for the Contractor to cover these positions as part of Overhead or as ODC?

Is the Government planning to provide these estimates prior to the proposal turn in due date for us to add our Material Handling Fee (MHF), or should the Contractor propose a MHF as a percentage for each of the cost CLINS?
