Question 1. The Public Access Policy for the Pennsylvania courts system (effective as of January 6, 2018) restricts the use of certain types of confidential information in public court filings.

In Question 1 of the Agreement, identify your child(ren) using their initials and their year(s) of birth. Here is an example:
Question 1. The RFP differentiates between the Senior SW Developer as a key position and as a non-key position but the revised P3 no longer includes that distinction.

Will the government please revise Attachment P3 to include separate line items for the Senior SW Developer as a KEY and non-key position? Answer 1: Attachment P3 is correct. The Government does not want to differentiate between composite rates for key and non-key personnel.

Question 1. The instructions for the Government cost workbooks explicitly states that “All dollar figures shall be carried out no further than two decimal places. Values with additional decimal places shall not be used within any calculations.” (Instructions tab, row 11). The formulas throughout both the prime and subcontractor workbooks calculate beyond the two decimal places despite only displaying two decimal places. To comply with the instructions, the offeror would have to update every formula to include a “ROUND” function. Will the Government please amend the instructions to be consistent with the workbook formulas and require only that figures be displayed with two decimal places? Answer 1: Attachments P6 and P7 have been updated to specify that dollar figures shall be displayed to two decimal places.

Please confirm the Government will accept separate Past Performance Information Form files. Answer 1: The Government will accept separate Past Performance Information Form files.
Question 1. What is meant by team obligation? Response: Team obligations are defined by the coach/sponsor of the activity either in writing (sport handbook) or by verbal communication to the participants.
