- Description
- The following questions were received and answered as follows: Q: Would we be disqualified if we were to include the resumes of key personnel with our RFQ? A: No, we do not require minimum qualification for this contract. Therefore, any resumes submitted cannot be evaluated as a basis for award decisions. Award of any contract as a result of this RFQ will be to the technically acceptable proposal that represents the best value to the government to include Section 508 conformance and cost. Pricing for the deliverables must be firm-fixed price. Quote must include Contractor's DUNS; and include three (3) references where same or similar services were previously provided. Reference information must include company name/agency, point of contact name, email address and phone number, and contract/order number. Contractor must have a current registration in the governmentwide System for Award Management at https://www.sam.gov. Q: The RFQ asks for a quote, but from what I understood the quote was set at $120,000, no? It also mentions the submission of invoices, but it is stated that the contract would not last more than 12 months which to me is simple Math 120/12 months = $10,000/month + up to $5,000 in traveling??? A: This is a firm fixed-price requirement and the $120,000 is based on available budget, market research and previous similar contracts. Quotes must include a firm fixed-price for each deliverable: 1. Task #1: Project Schedule Development and Delivery 2. Task #2: Basic Multi-Party Training Program Development 3. Task #3: Basic Multi-Party Training Program Delivery 4. Task #4: Basic Multi-Party Training for Trainers Program Delivery 5. Task #5: Option to Deliver One (1) Additional Basic Multi-Party Training Program 6. Task #6: Advanced Multi-Party Mediation Training Program Development 7. Task #7: Advanced Multi-Party Mediation Training Program Delivery 8. Task #8: Advanced Multi-Party Mediation Training for Trainers Program Delivery 9. Task #9: Option to Deliver One (1) Additional Advanced Multi-Party Mediation Training Program 10. Task #10: Delivery of Basic and Advanced Mediation Training Program Materials All deliverables are to be completed within 365 days from the date of any contract award. Any award will be a firm fixed-price contract, invoices may be submitted upon inspection and acceptance of each deliverable by CRS. Invoices for hourly labor-hour performance will not be accepted. FAR clause 52.232-16 Progress Payments (APR 2012) is added and incorporated by reference. Q: Is the suggestion based on actually counting the hours that we are engaged on this contract and arriving at a different figure every month, or can we make an estimate based on the dates that the officer tells us when the seminars are to be conducted and divide the $120,000 evenly on the total # of months? A: Any award will be a firm fixed-price contract; invoices may be submitted upon inspection and acceptance of each deliverable by CRS. Invoices for hourly labor-hour performance will not be accepted. FAR clause 52.232-16 Progress Payments (APR 2012) is added and incorporated by reference. Q: I also looked up the traveling quote and I did not see strict figures or values, but more than anything, the reasonable standard of travel...meaning not extravagant, correct? A: Yes, that is correct. Reimbursement for travel must be reasonable standard travel and where possible in accordance with Federal Travel Regulations. All travel expenses that exceed $25.00 must be supported by receipt. In addition, the contracting officer can provide any awardee a letter stating that travel is for official federal government business and therefore request consideration of offering government rates for this purpose. While there is no guarantee that merchants such as airlines will accept this, it can be made available. Q: Last, but not least, is there a limited number of pages that you want us to abide by for the response. A: No, there is no limited number of pages, however this requirement is being competed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13); quotes should include the information to demonstrate an understanding of the requirement, deliverables, experience and price. Q: is this is a new contract? If not, could you please identify which company won the previous award, and reveal whether they are an incumbent? A: Yes, this is a new contract, there are no incumbents. Q: In terms of the video choice to go along with the exercises, would we have to create one to go with the ideas that the group will be sharing with us, or do you have videos of certain situations that we can use. perhaps from body camps, or do we have to create videos from scratch? A: There is no video requirement for this contract. We believe you are referring to the Section 508 standard. This standard is applicable to any electronic media used for training such a PowerPoint presentations. All other terms remain unchanged.
