The purpose of this amendment is to answer RFI 1 - 4.

1) In packing and shipping the F-1, the solicitation mentions material that is used is left up to contractors pack-aging specialist. You mention adhering to the cardboard packaging requirement. Can we use wooden crates in the event we feel the crates would offer more security/safer delivery?

A) Wooden crates are not required except for overseas; however, they are equal or superior, but also more expensive.

2) Is it possible to extend the due date of the solicitation 1-2 days at least ?

A) Sorry, we have to be ready to award in time for Contractor's to set up and be working as close to 10/1 as possible.

Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced in Item 9A or 10A, as heretofore changed, remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

Katherine Iacovelli Contract Officer

3) Will a signature be required for every delivery of the F-1 stones (to ensure delivery). “Signature required” would cost us more on shipping

A. This is an FOB Destination contract; therefore, the contractor is responsible for shipment until they have reached its destination. The contractor must be able to verify that the shipment has been delivered. If the contractor cannot verify proof of delivery, what assurance does government have for payment?

4) When shipping OCONUS you mention “government designated carrier”. Does government pay for OCONUS shipping then?

A. Yes, the government will pay for OCONUS transportation.
