- Description
- The following questions were received and are answered: Q: Is it likely that all programs will be conducted in either Washington D.C. or the metropolitan Denver area, or potentially some programs in both locales? A: It is possible that we will conduct programs in both locations. Q: Can the initial Advanced Multiparty Mediation Training Programs and the Training-for-Trainers Program be conducted sequentially and on one trip (3 days for the Advanced Program, a two-day weekend layover with per diems covered, and three days the following week) if the programs are conducted in either Washington D.C or the Denver metropolitan area, or will conducting the Advanced Programs and the Training-for-Trainers Programs require two separate trips, one for each program? A: The first Advanced Mediation Training and the second Advanced Mediation Training, which is combined with the Training for Trainers, are separate trainings. The Training for Trainers can only be combined with the second Advanced Mediation Training. Q: Are the costs for the optional training programs - the Basic Multiparty Mediation Training Program, Advanced Multiparty Mediation Programs and Training-for-Trainers Programs - to be included in the $120,000 budget or will they be contracted and paid for separately under a separate contract? A: Yes, they should be included. Q: The RFQ notes a travel budget of $5,000. We assume that this amount is for ground and air travel, and per diems for trainers are covered separately. Is this correct? If so, should per diems be estimated for programs that would be conducted in either the Washington D.C. or Denver areas, and indicated separately in the budget? A: The proposal need not address travel expenses because it is defined as a Not To Exceed line item. It is not anticipated that travel cost will exceed $5,000; proposal pricing should be a firm fixed-price amount for each deliverables. Travel will be approved in advance and contractor will be reimbursed for expenses for incurred on behalf of the government accordingly. Emphasis of the quote should be on meeting the technical requirements of the RFQ. Q: The $5,000 limit for travel may not cover the costs for travel for all of the required and optional training programs if the contractor has to travel some distance from Washington DC or the metropolitan Denver area. What adjustments for additional travel costs will be made if travel cannot be covered by the $5,000 currently allocated? A: It is not anticipated that travel cost will exceed $5,000; proposal pricing should be a firm fixed-price amount for each deliverables. Travel will be approved in advance and contractor will be reimbursed for expenses for incurred on behalf of the government accordingly. Emphasis of the quote should be on meeting the technical requirements of the RFQ. Q: Should per diems for hotels and meals for trainers be included in the $120,000, or will this be covered separately? The final location of training programs makes a difference in calculating per diems. If trainers are located close to the Washington D.C or Denver area and do not have to stay overnight or cover hotels or full days of meals this makes a difference in calculating per diems. A: It is not anticipated that travel cost will exceed $5,000; proposal pricing should be a firm fixed-price amount for each deliverables. Emphasis of the quote should be on meeting the technical requirements of the RFQ. I also received the below question and my response: Q; I would like to know if new businesses can submit for this proposal? It states requesting references for former work conducted. At this time, I have not been involved on single work of this nature but have a background to complete work. A: Hi, yes you are welcome to submit a quote. You must ensure your proposal provides information to demonstrate your understanding of and ability to perform. Good luck and thank you for your interest Additional questions will not be accepted after 4pm ET August 4, 2017. The due date for quotes is extended to 4pm ET August 21, 2017.
