U -- TRAINING WORKSHOP ON CHEMICAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY FOR TEACHERS AND LIAISONS, AMENDMENT SOL NDA410-00-R-0004 POC Ms. Melissa Phillips, 703-696-3844 x1414 WEB: DoDEA home page., Http://www.odedodea.edu. E-MAIL: Melissa Phillips, contract specialist, mphillip@hq.odedodea.edu. Question 1. Can the contractor assume that participants will have basic computer knowledge/skills and/or Microsoft Excel knowledge? Answer: Yes. 2. Will there be computers w/Excel installed for hands-on workshops for participants? If so, then how many computers will be available for participant use? Answer: Yes. We'll have access to a computer lab, about twenty computers. 3. Section C.4 of the RFP states "the inclusion of available audio and/or visual supplemented materials is considered a high priority." Does this mean that a copy of any videos used during the training is to be provided to each participant? Answer: No. Just to be included as a tool by the instructor. 4. Section D.2 of the RFP states that the "contractor must have knowledge and experience with requirements for handling and disposing of hazardous chemicals in foreign countries where DoDEA schools are located." Must the contractor have experience in all foreign countries where DoDEA schools are located, and if so, where are those countries? Answer: Offerors need to know the regulations for each country in which DoDEA has a school. More information about schools and locations is available at http://www.odedodea.edu 5. Is there a document, similar to the SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement), for each country where DoDEA schools are located that identifies what host nation directives must be followed pertaining to hazardous chemical handling and disposal? If so, will the contractor have access either thru the internet or via hardcopy to this document? Answer: We don't know. We need a contractor, who, by virtue of prior experience instructing chemical safety for a K-12 academic environment (not industrial type chemical safety or hazardous material control), can continue our chemical hygiene training for our DoD teachers from all the countries in which we operate. 6. Will the contractor have access to the Science Coordinator or Regional/District Chemical Safety Advisors either thru the internet or phone? Answer: Yes to Science Coordinator. Can be arranged with Advisors. 7. Section E.1 of the RFP states that "...one copy of course materials that will be used in the training..." be provided to the Science Coordinator. What do you mean by course materials (e.g. course syllabus, course topical outline, a list of the videos to be used during the course, etc.)? Answer: All materials that will be used and given to participants. (Note: this requirement is the first deliverable required after award of the contract. This is NOT a requirement for evaluation of the offerors proposal.) 8. Section F.(4) of the RFP states that "the five references as mentioned in Section C." Do you mean the references mentioned in Section G of the RFP? Answer: Yes. 9. The RFP states that this workshop is for liaisons and teachers and will be taught in Ft. Bragg, NC and Wiesbaden, Germany. Will the participants be from DoDEA school systems in different host nations? Answer: Yes 10. Will the training rooms be equipped with chemical lab equipment? Answer: No. 11. Will the Government be providing computers or will the contractor be responsible? Answer: The Government will provide computers, see question 4. 10. Will an LCD projector be available at Ft. Bragg and Wiesbaden for use with Power Point Presentations? Particular equipment needs by the contractor will be handled through the Science Coordinator when contract is awarded. Posted 05/01/00 (W-SN450069). (0122)
