- During the webinar, which was held on January 22, 2014, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) refrained from providing full answers to a few of the questions that were posed. Below are those questions and the associated answers: 1) How will the Performance Excellence Bonus be calculated now that a cost incentive is involved)? a. Based on initial feedback received regarding the cost incentive, ETA is reviewing the incentive structure. Therefore, ETA will provide clarification on both the cost incentive and the Performance Excellence Bonus once the incentive structure has been formalized. 2) Will ETA release the master list of questions which may appear in Section L for center, OA and CTS? a. ETA will not release the master list of questions. 3) Is it correct for contractors to issue an MOU for another entity's use of the center or should the MOU come from DOL? a. The contractor would create and be a signatory party to the MOU, but the MOU should be reviewed and acknowledged by the Regional Director of Job Corps or the Regional Director's designee. 4) Should contractors receive the environmental studies that have been performed for pending center CRA projects? a. Environmental studies can be submitted to contractors upon their request, but as a general matter, environmental studies do not impact the work to be performed and thus are not required to be provided to the contractor. 5) Liquidated Damages - was 15%, now posed as 100% a. ETA is reviewing this matter and will provide its final decision in the final version of the Model RFP. 6) Section G.8, should it be based on Student year costs? a. ETA is reviewing this matter and will provide its final decision in the final version of the Model RFP. 7) How should fringe benefits be billed if they are billed as direct costs; now we bill the average? a. Fringe benefits can be billed based on cost incurred. Please refer to Sections 502 and 503 of the PRH for greater understanding related to when a cost can be considered as incurred. 8) On page 113, why do we specify 24.8%? a. ETA has developed the compensation report to include the average contractor fringe benefit rate of 24.8%. The compensation report is meant for information purposes only and does not constrain the contractor to perform within the identified rates. ETA fully recognizes that contractors will not be constrained to 24.8% and that each contractor will propose a fringe rate that is commensurate with their own fringe benefits. 9) Do we need to update the compensation report? a. ETA will consider the need to update the Staff Compensation Report. 10) What force of law does the Compensation report serve? a. The Staff Compensation Report is for informational purposes only. Contractors will not be held to the salaries and rates identified in the report. 11) Corporate Insurance Requirements? There aren't any limits identified in the solicitation. a. ETA is reviewing this matter and will provide its final decision in the final version of the Model RFP. 12) Please clarify what evaluated costs consists of. a.

ETA is reviewing this matter and will provide its final decision in the final version of the Model RFP. 14) Should max cost incentive be 5%? a. ETA is reviewing this matter and will provide its final decision in the final version of the Model RFP.
