- Additional Questions and Answers from prospective contractors, as they relate to amendment 0001 of the solicitation: 1) Question:&I must protest the &solicitation based on the changes in amendment 0001. Specifically, CLINs 0007AE, 0008AE, and 0009AE, the increase in drayage beyond the area of performance from 50 miles to 110 miles. The increase in miles would cause driv ers to violate the 14 hour rule set forth in section 395 of FMCSA rules. Answer: The answer to this question is the same as the answer to question #2. 2) Question: We protest SubCLIN 0007AE and all other SubCLIN in amendment one that pertain to drayage beyond the area of performance. Answer to Questions # 1 & # 2: SubCLINs 0007AE, 0008AE and 0009AE, Drayage Beyond Area of Performance descriptions are being revised to read 'not to exceed 50 miles,' as stated in the original solicitation. 3) Question: Item number 0005AG and all other items regarding Contractor Manpower Reporting require one flat price since there is only one unit in the quantity section. If this contract is extended as per FAR 52.217-8 there is no provision for the extra work involved in complying with the Manpower Reporting Requirement. Will this requirement be waived? Is not, how will we be compensated for the extra work involved&Would you allow the contractor to double his bid price for the aforementioned item for the 6-month extension period? Answer: The Contractor Manpower Reporting requirement will not be waived. Please be advised that the Contract Manpower Reporting shall be the period of performance not to exceed 12 months ending 30 September of each Government fiscal year and must be rep orted by 30 October of each calendar year. However, at the time of extension, it the contractor submits a proposed cost, this will be negotiated prior to the extension. 4) Question: You have failed to provide instructions as to how the Amendments of Solicitation is to be acknowledged for Amendment 1.
