1. Questions: What is an AIR?

Answer: See H. 12 CAR 1352-72 ADDITIONAL ITEM REQUIREMENTS

2. Question: Is it sufficient to provide an offer for all regions or some of the regions?

Answer: No, the offeror shall provide a separate proposal for each region. If the offeror has provided a proposal for multiple regions they are required to resubmit for each region they desire to offer in on. See L9. FAR 52.212-1 (a) General Instructions

3. Question: Attachment J 3 (Schedule of Prices) has numerous tabs on the spreadsheet. They are separated by Ordering Period for labor rates for specific trades (i.e. OP1) and the Growth Rate for AIRs (OP1 AIRS). Questions are as follows:

For the OP1 labor rates, it states fully burdened. Is this just a combination of labor rate, labor burden and OH&P or is it anticipated to also include Travel, Lodging and Per Diem (same as the AIR labor rate)? Considering the AIR labor rate will cover all growth work under a single rate regardless the trade, we were wondering what these rates are being used for.

For the OP1 labor rates, there are numerous trades we do not employ for these docksides (i.e.

marine chemist, crane operator etc.)? How does NOAA wish us to price these considering these will be subcontracted out and depending on the subcontractor can vary in pricing?

Answer: NOAA Requires that the rates be fully burdened of all costs. Please see Amendment 3 Question 2.

4. Question: We noticed in the I.19 FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services that there is a quote, "These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor".

Does this mean that this is a Prevailing Wage? Davis Bacon? contract?

Answer: No, ship repair is treated as a supply. FAR 52.217-8 is hereby removed from the RFP please see RFP Rev 2 attached

5. Question: Will another extension be granted?

Answer: An extension is not being provided with this amendment.
