- Description
- Questions/Answers: *please notice the change in all CAPS below, to a question asked previously. Q: CLIN 0001 shows a U/I of "MO" and a Qty of "1". The labor costs associated with this CLIN are based on annual salaries and wages associated with our employees agreements. Should we change the QTY to 12 in the QTY column, which is 1/12 of the yearly labor costs. And accordingly, in the "Unit price/Cost" column reflect 1/12 of the cost for CLIN 0001? A: This is for an IDIQ, so the quantity is in increments of "1" and is to be priced as such. In addition a month means the total price to complete 1 month of CLIN 0001. Q: As a follow-on to: Q: GFM does not include shelving, forklift, pallet jacks, or ladders/pickers. So do we assume that we price to provide such items along with the labor needed to move material from the incumbent's shelving/cabinets during transition if he will not sell those items, now in use at the warehouse, for industry standard price? Gov't Answer: "Bidders need to price shelving, forklift, pallet jack, ladders etc. All equipment that contractor feels they would need to manage a warehouse. This equipment will become the property of the Air Force. Transportation costs for equipment shipped form current warehouse will be paid via the current contract. Once equipment arrives at new location it will be the awardees responsibility to unpack and maintain." THIS IS NOT A CORRECT ANSWER. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CLIN 0001 CLS, MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE MONTHLY PRICE FOR CLS. Q: For warehousing support there will be reoccurring and non-reoccurring costs. Non-reoccurring costs being defined as those asset the contractor purchases at contract start-up to outfit the warehouse (shelving, forklift, pallet jack, ladders etc. All equipment that contractor feels they would need to manage a warehouse ). These assets will become government furnished property and will be added to the appropriate existing TDC GFP list. As "Other Direct Cost" (ODCs) should these costs be entered in CLIN 0004 and itemized in a new worksheet in the TEP worksheet? A: The government is not requiring a warehouse; that is a business decision. All costs associated with CLIN 0001 must be included in the unit price for CLIN 0001. The government is not guaranteeing lease costs or even more than the minimum order. That is a business decision. Q: Non-reoccurring costs would include primarily lease costs, utilities, and other monthly expenses to support the PWS warehouse operations. Should these "Other Direct Costs" (ODCs) also be entered in CLIN 0004 and itemized in a new worksheet in the TEP worksheet. A: No, those are part of CLIN 0001 should you decide to provide a warehouse. Q: For the non-recurring assets costs listed in the question above we will add those assets to the appropriate GFP list. Page 53 of the solicitation has a paragraph titled "GFP and/or Base Support Requirements"; which proposal volume would you like this information entered? Costs of the assets will be in Volume III, do you want the itemized list minus costs in Volume IV as well? A: No, those will not be GFP; again all costs associated with CLIN 0001 must be priced at the CLIN level. If you think you need GFP, the contractor needs to identify in the appropriate paragraph of the solicitation. Q: On page 52 of the solicitation, the instructions for Volume IV - Contract Documentation, states "The purpose of this volume is to provide information to the Government for preparing the contract document and supporting file. The offerors proposal shall include a copy of the completed model contract." Since instructions for Volume III state that cost information should not be included elsewhere in the proposal, should the contractor include a completed Section B and TEP worksheet in the model contract? Are we correct to assume that this model contract does not include sections L and M from the solicitation? A: Yes, the completed Section B and TEP worksheet can be in the model contract. Yes, the model contract does not include Sections L&M. Q: On page 52 of the solicitation, under the Volume IV - Contract Documentation section, paragraph labeled "Schedule A, and C through M" instructs offeror to read the entire RFP and complete all fill-ins. a. Is the term "Schedule" interchangeable with the term "Section" in the solicitation when referring to sections of the contract or solicitation? A: Yes b. We have read the entire RFP and all the amendments and we will state in Volume III that exceptions taken to the terms and conditions of the Solicitation. In our model contract in Volume IV we will fill in all fill-in sections of the solicitation which consists of Solicitation and model contract section K, section B, the TEP worksheet. Will this meet the requirements of this instruction or does the government want duplicate Schedule/Section A, and C through M place in Volume IV? A: As long as ALL sections are included in the proposal, one copy will suffice. Simply indicate where the item can be located. Q: Could the government identify what specifically they are requesting by "man-month to month conversation factors" required per page 52 "Basis of Estimate (BOE) instructions. A: The government is requiring a unit price for the complete service month, not on a per person basis. The BOEs need to be in sufficient detail to track back to the unit price. Q: Reference the DD-254 included with the RFP documents. Box 6, the solicitation number as well as the date do not match this solicitation. The document was sent as a PDF with the Contracting Officer's signature included. Please advise how the Government would like us to submit the DD-254 for this solicitation. Will an updated version be provided? A: Box 6 of the DD254 will not be completed until the contract has been awarded. The DD254 tells the Contractor what type of clearance is required for this requirement. The Contractor needs to make sure they meet the clearance required for the solicitation. An updated version will be provided at time of award.
