- Description
- This Amendment does not change the date that offers are due. The purpose of this Amendment is to (A) replace language in section 11.0 of the Statement of Work in 06PR-TDP-312; and, the purpose of this amendment is to (B) post answers to questions regarding the solicitation. (A) Remove and replace: Remove from section 11.0 A time and material contract award is anticipated. Replace with A firm-fixed-price, level-of-effort term contract award is anticipated. (B) Questions and answers as of May 25, 2006: Question #1 Will a team that includes subcontractors with specialized expertise be considered? Answer: Yes. A team that includes subcontractors will be considered. Question #2 Must any of the team members be located in the Washington D.C. area? If the team lead is available to travel to D.C. as required, can the majority of the work (writing, media contact, etc.) be done virtually? Answer: No person is required to be located in Washington DC. However, the duties of the position (see 5.5 of Statement of Work) sometimes require the contractor to be in Washington DC. It is estimated that the contractor will need to be in Washington D.C. 12 to 15 times per year. Question #3 Does the annual report entail any design, or is it strictly text and data? Answer: The annual report is more than text and data. I would recommend that you look to the IRS Oversight Board web site for examples. (www.treas.gov/irsob) Question #4 How long is the annual report and what type of format is typically produced? Answer: The last three annual reports have been 2005 (48), 2004 (49), and 2003 (30) pages long. Examples of the format produced can be found on the IRS Board web site previously referenced. Question #5 Should travel expenses be incorporated into the proposal, or should expenses be estimated separately and billed at cost? Answer: Travel expenses should be incorporated into the proposal and Travel should be reimbursed in accordance with Federal Travel Regulations. The applicable regulations can be found at www.gsa/ftr.gov . Question #6 Is there a preferred format in which you would like to receive our response to this bid? Answer: There is no preferred format for the response. Please see FAR 52.212-1 for instructions for offerors. Question #7 Do we need to provide estimated costs for the 4 option years? Answer: Yes. Question #8 Should past performance references be federal government agencies or, since my company has not worked for the federal government before, will other client references be accepted? Answer: Past performance references are not restricted to federal government agencies. All references will be evaluated. Question #9 I would also be interested in learning when you expect to make a decision and award a contract, if you have that information and can you share it. Answer: There is no definitive date set for decision and award. Under simplified acquisition procedures, unsuccessful offerors are not required to be notified. (See FAR 13.106-3) If you desire to be notified, please request notification in writing. Question #10 How many “additional reports”, as stated in the solicitation, are expected? Answer: The number of additional reports varies from year to year. Due to the difficulty in predicting circumstances that may warrant a need to produce an additional report, any response to this question would be mere speculation; and, therefore no number will be provided. Reports that were completed in past years are available on the IRS Oversight Board web site. Question #11 Will you need assistance in planning/producing the Board meetings, either within the Oversight Board’s offices or those held elsewhere? Answer: The statement of work contained in the body of the combined synopsis/solicitation details the responsibility of the contractor regarding Board meetings. Question #12 Will Contractors be given an opportunity to NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (22-MAY-2006). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 24-JUL-2006, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
