**[Section C]{.underline}**

**Radiological Assistance Program:**

A sentence has been added to subsection 4.2.2.c. stating: "The
Contractor RAP Team members must be direct hires of the prime
contractor."

**[Section H]{.underline}**

Clause H.30 USE OF DOE FACILITIES FOR WORK FOR OTHERS is changed by
deleting paragraph (a) and replacing it with:

"DOE may authorize the Contractor to perform non-DOE funded work
involving the use of DOE facilities and resources, including contractor
staff on a full cost recovery basis only, provided that the work is
consistent with applicable laws and regulations and satisfies DOE
policies regarding mission compatibility and competition with the
private and public sector. No work for others shall be performed without
full cost recovery."

**[Section J]{.underline}**

######  {#section-2}

# Attachment C -- Key Personnel Qualifications

No. 4 -- MOAB PROJECT MANAGER

Under the subsection entitled EXPERIENCE the minimum experience
requirements are modified to consider the relevancy of experience, the
depth of that experience, the number of opportunities to learn from
exposure to work problems and learning effective solutions.
Accomplishments and professional status are also important. This
experience would be judged equivalent to the 3 year requirement for
direct experience with uranium mill tailings remedial action projects.

# Attachment D -- Software Systems

The RFP is amended to add the following clarification regarding software
systems:

The following software systems are being utilized at GJO for accounting
purposes:

Financial Accounting Solutions for Business and Education (FASBE)

Vendor: Computeristics

Platform: AS/400

Programming Language: COBOL (OS/400)

Data Format: DB2/400

FASBE software has 6 major subsystems, currently only the General Ledger
module is in use. General Ledger maintains the chart of accounts,
journal entries, and reports.

Macrofiche 6.0

Vendor: Macrosoft

Platform: Windows 9x/NT

Computer Output to Laser Disk (COLD) software used for financial report
storage and on line retrieval.

Reality System

Vendor: Structured Computer Systems

Platform: DOS

Programming Language: Magic

Data Format: Btrieve

This system integrates information from procurement, accounts payable,
receiving and the inventory systems. It also supports employee travel
functions. This system requires frequent version changes due to new
releases by vendor (SCS).

The following software systems are being utilized at GJO for Integrated
Project Management and Control:

Primavera Project Planner 3.1

Vendor: Primavera Systems, Inc.

Platform: Windows 9x/NT

Programming Language: Foxpro

Data Format: Foxbase

This system is project management software that integrates scheduling,
resource allocation and leveling, cost control, and presentation-quality
graphics.

MicroFusion Millenium 4.02.003

Vendor: Integrated Management Concepts

Platform: Windows 9x/NT

This is a purchased package application that is used to plan and produce
reports and information that is uploaded to the AS400 reporting and
invoicing applications. It also receives date from the AS400 on actual
costs. Microfusion is used to produce budget and earned value reports
that facilitate project management.

Additional information on the software applications at GJO is available
in the GJO Reading Room.

# Attachment I -- Performance-Based Fee Determination Procedures

Under the subsection entitled Rating Plan the second bullet under the
heading [Performance is below minimum acceptable levels]{.underline}
that reads "Performance at this level may result in the FDO withholding
all award fees for the period," has been moved up to become the fourth
bullet under the heading [Performance meets expected
levels]{.underline}. No award fee will be paid under this contract for
performance that is rated as Satisfactory or less.

# [Section K]{.underline}

#  {#section-3}

# Attachment A, Foreign Ownership, Control and Influence (FOCI)

The FOCI requirements apply to any contractor that employs cleared
personnel. The only requirement for security clearances under the
proposed contract for Technical Assistance to the Grand Junction Office
is in conjunction with the Statement of Work, Section C, 4.2.2.c, of the
RFP for the Radiological Assistance Program (RAP). The RFP requires the
Contractor RAP Team members to be direct hires of the prime contractor.
Therefore, to meet the FOCI requirement, only the prime contractor will
be required to complete the FOCI certification forms. These forms must
be submitted as part of the Representations and Certifications in Volume
I. If the offeror has submitted these forms to another agency within the
last 5 years and the data is current, a letter certification that lists
an agency Point of Contact, the name of the agency that has the
certification on file, and provides a facility (or cage) code may be
submitted in lieu of completing Attachment A.

**[Section L]{.underline}**

**Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors**

L.2. IIPS PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS -- GENERAL (SEP 1999) is
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

**L.2 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS\--GENERAL**

(a) DOE intends to make only one award to the offeror representing the
    best overall value to the Government. DOE will determine best
    overall value on the basis of the factors described in Section M.
    This Section of the solicitation provides instructions and other
    information related to the preparation of a proposal. Offerors are
    cautioned to follow these instructions carefully in order to ensure
    that DOE receives consistent information in a form that will
    facilitate proposal evaluation. Failure to respond to or follow the
    instructions regarding the organization and content of the proposal
    may result in your proposal being deemed unacceptable.

(b) For the purpose of evaluating proposals, the term "offeror" means
    the entity submitting an offer and all identified subcontractors.

\(c\) Offerors are warned that taking exception to any term or condition
of the solicitation (including submitting any alternate proposal that
requires relaxation of a requirement) will make an offer unacceptable,
and the offeror ineligible for award. DOE will consider any exception to
any term or condition of the solicitation to be a deficiency, as defined
in FAR 15.301. An offeror may correct deficiencies only during
discussions and subsequent Best and Final Offers submissions. Offerors
are advised that the Government intends to award a contract without
discussions.

\(d\) DOE intends to make an award without discussions. Notwithstanding,
DOE reserves the right to conduct discussions with offerors in a
competitive range, if necessary, and to permit such offerors to revise
their proposals.

\(e\) Refer to provision L.5, paragraph (e) for instructions regarding
disclosure of proposal data.

\(f\) DOE intends to use government personnel in its evaluation of
proposals. These individuals are required to protect the confidentiality
of any specifically identified information obtained as a result of their
participation in the evaluation.

**L. 3 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING WRITTEN PROPOSALS -- GENERAL**

L.3 (b) [Overall Arrangement of Proposal]{.underline}. Delete the line
stating "Electronic Files To Be Submitted As Follows:"

The number of copies required for each volume is as follows:

Volume 1 -- Offer and Other Documents Original and one copy

> (Provide 3 signed originals of SF33)

Volume II -- Capability Information Original and three copies

Volume III -- Cost Proposal Original and three copies

Each proposal shall be submitted in three physically separate volumes as
indicated above. The three volumes must be submitted in separate binders
of sufficient size to hold all proposal pages, allowing easy turning of
pages. Each binder shall be clearly marked or labeled appropriately
(e.g.; Original, Copy 1, Copy 2, etc.)

**L.4 (b) (1) (i) Organization and Key Personnel Experience and Past
Performance**

The following clarification is added to this subsection regarding
changes to early submittals of past performance summaries and key
personnel resumes.

Changes can be made by resubmitting the Past Performance Summaries
through the electronic submittal form in accordance with the Past
Performance Submittal Guidelines. Copies of confirmation pages must be
included in Volume II of your final proposal submittal. Do not include
confirmation pages of any submittals made in error. If you did not
receive a confirmation page, the data was not captured and you will need
to resubmit the information.

Key personnel resumes submitted early through IIPS can be changed and
submitted with the final proposal as long as the changes are clearly
marked and a summary provided. The final key personnel resumes must be
submitted in Volume II of the offeror's final proposal submittal.

**L.4(b)(2) Interview**

The following clarification is provided regarding the interview process:

DOE will leave the interview room during the 30-minute break period
allowed for the Offeror to prepare responses to the questions that will
be provided by the Source Evaluation Board. Only the six (maximum)
personnel present during the interview process may be used to prepare
the answers to the questions. Only the four key personnel may
participate in the oral responses. Cell phones will be prohibited and no
information will be allowed to be removed from the interview room.

**L.4(c)(2)(i)1.e. Transition Costs**

The following clarification is provided for calculating the Lump Sum
Fixed Price for the transition period:

All man hours the key personnel will expend during the transition
period, must be included as part of the Lump Sum Fixed Price for the
transition period. The lump sum fixed price should include all labor
(home office, key personnel and consultants, if any), travel, per diem,
car rental, relocation, or any other costs the offeror will incur during
the 45-day transition period. These costs are in addition to the 325,500
man hours for Year 1 (175 FTE's), which includes the 1860 hours for each
of the four key personnel that all offerors are instructed to cost for
proposal purposes.

**L.4(c)(2)(i)4. Exhibit-C: Summary of Indirect Expense Pools and
Bases**

The last sentence in this subsection that reads: "The Offeror shall also
submit any current Indirect Rate Agreements or notices established by
their Cognizant Federal Agency as required in Part 1, Section B, clause
entitled "Annual Indirect Rate Submissions," of this RFP," is modified
to read:

"The Offeror shall also submit any current Indirect Rate Agreements or
notices established by their Cognizant Federal Agency as required by FAR
Clause 52.216-7 (MAR 2000) entitled ALLOWABLE COST AND PAYMENT (Modified
by DEAR 952.216-7 for Commercial Organizations)." See Section I of the
RFP.

No. 1 under this subsection is modified to allow offeror's to submit
financial statements reviewed by an outside independent CPA firm.

The clause L.18 TIME AND DATE PROPOSALS ARE DUE, ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION

inserted in its place:
