| Note,
7/10/01: Schedule for Determination of Competitive Range and Discussions As shown on the schedule page, the
determination of the competitive range is anticipated to be announced to the individual
offerors during the month of July. The schedule for discussions with those offerors who
are in the competitive range will be based on the date of announcement of the competitive
range. Offerors will be allowed approximately two weeks, after notification that they are
in the competitive range, to prepare for discussions with DOE. Details on the subjects,
location, and logistics for discussions will be included in the letters to those offerors
in the competitive range. As previously stated in the Questions and Answers (Section L, No. 1) offerors will be requested to address the
weaknesses or clarifications identified by DOE in the letter to those offerors in the
competitive range. Other than a brief general overview of the proposal, a detailed
presentation on the entire proposal will not be required. After discussions are concluded,
offerors will be given the opportunity to submit revised, written proposals. |
