RFP‐ 693JF720R000010 NSS DECON‐LT Amendment 0002 ‐ Questions/Comments
Question Number
RFP Section RFP Paragraph # Title Topic of Question/Comment
Question/Comment MARAD Response
1 K Reps & Certs Submission requirements The final RFP does not make it clear whether Offerors must complete the Section K Representations and Certifications and submit a hard copy as part of the proposal, do them online prior to proposal submittal or complete them upon award. Please clarify the submittal requirements for Section K information.
FAR 52.212‐3 requires that Offerors complete EITHER paragraph (b) OR paragraphs (c) through (v), as applicable. The applicable reps and certs shall be included in Volume I. Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
2 Requirements of a new offeror
Please clarify if an Offeror Team is forming a new LLC to execute this work, does the new LLC have to be fully formed with a DUNS number and CAGE code prior to submitting the proposal or can it use the parent company information of each of the LLC members to submit the proposal?
No award can be made to an offeror that is without a valid DUNS and CAGE code number. Provided that a proposal meets the mandatory eligibity requirements, it will be considered even if the D&B and CAGE Code numbers are still pending.
3 K.1 US Citizenship requirement
Can MARAD please confirm that the request in Section K.1 Affidavit of United States Citizenship is only for the ship husbandry subcontractor?
Correct, the requirement at K.1 applies only to the entity proposed to perform the ship husbandry requirements described in C‐2.4.
4 Maritime Event Schedule conflicts
Will there continue to be Maritime days around where the Nuclear Ship Savannah is at the port? If so, what is the average duration of time around the Maritime days, and is the contractor expected to stop work during this time?
If held, Maritime Day is typically on the 3rd Sunday in May, and is not expected to interfere with production work.
5 Extension Request We would like to respectfully request a four week extension of the current due date to Friday, May 1, 2020. RFP closing date has been extended to 05/01/2020. See amendment 0002.
6 RESERVED
7 SharePoint Site access/validity
Can you confirm that this allows for access to all RFP Section J attachments and the complete set of procurement files?
The official RFP and amendments are posted to beta.sam.gov. The official Section J attachments, with the exception of the Use Restriction Access Form, are uploaded to SharePoint.
9 Extension Request We will be asking for an extension of the proposal due date after we review all available files. RFP closing date has been extended to 05/01/2020. See amendment 0002.
10 L Submission Requirements Section L does not contain any instructions to offerors on how to submit hard copies of proposal. Please also advise if proposals can be hand delivered or if they will only be accepted by mail, along with complete information as to whom offers should be sent.
Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
11 L.1 Detailed Instructions for Submission of Proposals
Section L.1 contains a request to email proposals which will be potentially difficult due to the file size of the proposal as well as size restrictions on emails sent to government email addresses. Please provide more detailed instructions for email submissions or alternative methods of electronic delivery that will be setup by the government (i.e. file upload site).
Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
12 L.5 MER Page Limit Section L.5, Proposal Organization Table, Volume I, MER page limit‐ There is a 10‐page limit noted in this table for mandatory eligibility requirement documents. Citizenship Affidavit information will easily exceed the 10‐page limit. Recommend the government replace the 10‐page MER limit with an unlimited page limit as done in recent past solicitations.
MER: 10‐page limit each for the Citizenship Affidavit and the NRC‐ licensed information. Contracts supporting NRC MER is unlimited electronically. Updated in amendment 0002.
13 Extending due date of Proposals
We respectfully request a three week extension to the due date. This is necessary considering the short time between the March 17 presentation onboard the vessel and March 18 walk through, and current April 3 due date. To ensure fair competition, all bidders need the opportunity to assess the vessel, formulate questions, consider MARAD’s answers and formulate their optimal approach and pricing. The current due date will afford less than two weeks for bidders to factor in MARAD’s response to post site visit questions.
Granting this extension early allows us to make the best use of time versus potential extensions granted near the due date.
RFP closing date has been extended to 05/01/2020. See amendment 0002.
14 L.13 Eliminate Small Business Subcontracting Plan as requirement
The RFP in L.13 indicates that the Small Business Subcontracting plan is NOT required to be submitted with the proposal but will be required of the successful Offeror only upon award. However, page 149 still lists the small business subcontracting plan as part of the proposal volume submittal? Please correct.
The RFP has been updated accordingly. See amendment 0002.
15 K Reps & Certs Submission Please clarify if Offerors should submit a hard copy of a completed Section K Representations and Certifications or if they just need to update them online in SAM and provide a statement that indicates they have been updated. It is not clear if anything needs to be submitted with the proposal to fulfill this requirement. If hard copy is required (which we do not recommend), than specify which volume to include them in – Volume I or Volume V.
FAR 52.212‐3 requires that Offerors complete EITHER paragraph (b) OR paragraphs (c) through (v), as applicable. The applicable reps and certs shall be included in Volume I. Proposal submission instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
16 L.5 Decomposed WBS Is the Decomposed WBS included in or excluded from the 10‐page limit for Volume III. We recommend excluding it from page count to allow more space for narrative elements of Volume III.
The Decomposed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is excluded from the proposal page count. This has been clarified in amendment 0002.
17 L.1 Submission Instructions Section L does not contain any instructions to offerors on delivery of the hard copies of the proposal (where they should be delivered – how to arrange hand delivery, address for overnight mailing, etc.).
Please provide.
Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
18 L.1 Submission requirements Section L.1 contains a request to email proposals. Please provide the email attachment size limit that can be received by the provided email address. Due to file size, multiple emails may have to be sent (one for each volume). Alternately, the Government may choose to provide a file upload site for electronic submittal. Please advise.
Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
19 L.5/146 Proposal Organization MER/NRC MER/US Citizenship Affidavit
Section L.5, Proposal Organization Table, Volume I, MER page limit‐ There is a 10‐page limit noted in this table for mandatory eligibility requirement documents. Please clarify that the 10‐page limit applies to the NRC MER and that for the Citizenship Affidavit information there is no page limit since that documentation may be more than 10 pages by itself.
MER: 10‐page limit each for the Citizenship Affidavit and the NRC‐ licensed information. Contracts supporting NRC MER is unlimited electronically. Updated in amendment 0002.
20 L.5/146 Proposal Organization Page Count totals for graphic elements
If an Offeror uses an 11x17 page size for a graphic element for its proposal section within the 25 or 10 page counted sections, does that 11x17 graphic count as one single page or two pages when determining the page count for the section? Please clarify.
Graphics printed on 11x17 page size will be counted as 2 pages for each chart and included in the total page count.
21 L.5/Pg 146 Proposal Organization Letters of Commitment The RFP states that the letters of commitment should be provided in Volume II following the resumes in one place (page 146) and that they should be in Volume I in another place (page 149) and that they should be in Volume III in yet another place (page 147). Please clarify where MARAD would like Offerors to include these Volume I or Volume II or Volume III?
Offerors shall include Letters of Commitment in Volume II. The RFP has been updated accordingly. See amendment 0002.
22 Section C CATS Database In Section C‐7.2 it states: “In addition, the Contractor shall assume and perform the outstanding activities contained in the CATS database (included in Section J). No such list was provided in Section J or Section J attachments. If Offerors are to provide a fixed price for the work on this list, please provide sufficient details on the items to be remaining and the CATS database and a description of the work required to close out those items in enough detail to allow all bidders to bid a fix price for the work.
This information is being finalized and will be provided via a future amendment.
23 Section C CLIN 0009 Section C, Page 50: This section states, “… the Contractor shall have a deck officer available who can perform complex trim and stability calculations; direct actions to adjust or maintain the vessel’s list and trim when required;
and monitor the stability effects of industrial and decommissioning activities.” Does MARAD expect the bidders to include the rate for the deck officer under CLIN 009 as opposed to the fixed price CLINs?
It should be included under CLIN 0009 if this person is anticipated to be used on a case by case ONLY. If the FFP personnel proposed posesses this expertise, then that may suffice.
24 Section C Pricing conflict between requirements (CLINs 1‐5)
Section C, Page 41: This section states that “Classification and Other Third‐Party Surveys and Inspections” shall be the subject of a change order, but pricing sheets for CLINS 001 thru 005 list “Surveys and Inspections” as a fixed price line item.
CLINS 0001 through 0005 refer to "Annual" Surveys and Inspections.
Surveys and Inspections ordered due to damage and repairs in Section
2.4 are subject to change order. This has been clarified in amendment 0002.
25 Section C Replacement of mooring equipment/equipment pricing
Section C, Page 41: “Contractor shall maintain a program to periodically rotate and replace mooring equipment, including fenders, as they wear.” Please clarify who is responsible for the replacement of the mooring equipment.
The cost of items such as mooring lines and fenders are very expensive and would have a large impact on bidder’s firm fixed price proposal. Please clarify if MARAD or the pier owner will provide the replacement gear and it shall only be the responsibility of the Contractor to periodically rotate this gear.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to periodically rotate the gear.
Replacement of any gear may be accomplished via a change order.
26 Section C Section C, Page 33: “The Contractor shall maintain the existing stock of consumable and expendable items that are conveyed at vessel delivery, and provide all additional consumables and expendables required during the term of the contract. Consumables and expendables include materials and supplies to carry out: a) preventative maintenance actions, b) maintenance, repair and housekeeping duties, c) restocking of medical supplies (first aid kits, AED pads and batteries, eye wash fluid), and d) stocking and restocking of PPE The current list of consumable and expendable items is included in Section J.” This RFP statement is in conflict with the request for pricing of consumables and expendables under CLIN 006 instead of CLINs 001 thru 005. Please clarify. In addition, Section J attachments do not include a list of all consumable and expendable items.
MARAD intends for the C&E pricing to be included in CLIN 0006. The list of consummables will be uploaded to SharePoint with the posting of amendment 0002 or soon therafter.
27 Section C, Page 32: “Maintenance & Repair includes all tasks necessary from initial identification of a deficiency or unsatisfactory condition through final acceptance of the corrected item (also see Work Identification, Control and Management, C‐2.1.1.4). This may include, overhauling, repairing, or replacing machinery, equipment, installations and spaces (including structure, habitability areas, cargo areas, etc.) to remedy deficiencies or unsatisfactory conditions.” Please clarify that all subject repairs would be the subject of a change order to the contract
Required repairs in excess of normal preventative maintenance may be subject to a change order.
28 Section C, Page 30: This section discusses fixed hazardous materials and states that such materials are anticipated to be left undisturbed for the performance of this contract, except when repairs, modifications or upgrades are contemplated. Please clarify that costs associated with such repairs, modifications and upgrades, including the hazmat remediation and removal will be the subject of a change order to the contract.
Except for radiologically controlled areas undergoing decommissioning, MARAD does not intend to order work that disturbs fixed hazardous materials. If MARAD orders work that disturbs fixed hazardous materials, a change order will be issued to cover the requisite repair, modification and remediation costs. If the contractor disturbs fixed hazardous materials, without approval of the CO, the contractor will be responsble for all repair, modification and remediation costs.
29 Section C Section C, Page 25: This section discusses minor and major deficiencies. Please clarify that any repairs requiring material, parts or industrial assistance would be the subject of a change order to the contract.
A repair that requires industrial assistance or materials or parts not available in the ship's inventory, are subject to change order.
30 Section B Section B, Page 21: Travel defines locations, but does not specify quantity. How many trips per year to each designated location should be included in bidder’s fixed price?
The NRC and MARAD HQ locations are local to the ship (site of contract activities), and travel will be infrequent. For pricing purposes, bidders should assume one trip to MARAD HQ per year. Travel frequency to NRC, waste repository sites and for accompanying waste shipments must be determined by the bidder. Any other MARAD‐directed travel will be subject to a change order at FTR rates.
31 Section B Section B, Page 21: Off hours alarm response states to include two (2) four‐hour alarm events in CLIN 006. Does this mean that any events above two will be the subject of a change order?
Correct. Any response above two per year, is subject to a change order.
Please note that the reference should be C‐2.1.1.5.3. This has been edited with amendment 0002.
32 Section B Section B, Page 20: Labor 9 (CLIN 009) states, “… minimum labor categories are listed below”. No labor categories are listed. Please clarify.
This statement has been removed. See amendment 0002.
33 Section B Section B, Page 19: MARAD requests pricing to perform “Additional decommissioning project work activities identified in CATS‐NSE”. Please define these work activities for all bidders.
This information is being finalized and will be provided via a future amendment.
34 Section B Section B, Page 19: Does MARAD want all bidders to include 5% overtime allowance in our pricing for all radiological work staff? In previous Savannah proposals this requirement was deleted.
Yes, that is correct. Prior SAVANNAH proposal or contract activities do not apply to this RFP.
35 Section B Section B, Page 18: Bottom of page states, “Phases II and II”. Please clarify. It has been corrected to read Phases II and "III". See amendment 0002.
36 Section B Section B, Page 18: The RFP requests Consumables and Expendables quoted under CLIN 006. This line item appears to be better associated with CLINs 001 through 005 as it more relates to Baseline Support than Decommissioning Support. How should bidders address consumables associated with baseline ship husbandry and maintenance if the consumables and expendables are only charged against CLIN 006?
CLIN 0006 is correct. We expect C&E to be common across all aspects of the contract work, and not differentiated among contract tasks such as ship husbandry and decommissioning.
37 CLIN 0008 The RFP requests that we include all costs associated with “disposal” of the steam generators as LLRW in the cost of CLIN 0008. We assume that the intent is to include costs associated with removal, handling, packaging and transport of the SG’s as well – please clarify.
The assumption is correct;. However, note that the RFP contemplates retaining the SGs in‐situ after the heat exchanger tube bundles are removed. If this proves successful, MARAD expects a credit against CLIN 0008.
38 Section L Page Limits Section L.5, Proposal Organization Table, Volume I, MER page limit‐ There is a 10‐page limit noted in this table for mandatory eligibility requirement documents. Please clarify that the 10‐page limit applies to the NRC MER and that for the Citizenship Affidavit information there is no page limit since that documentation may be more than 10 pages by itself.
MER: 10‐page limit each for the Citizenship Affidavit and the NRC‐ licensed information. Contracts supporting NRC MER is unlimited electronically. Updated in amendment 0002.
39 Section L Limitation of email/attachment size
Section L.1 contains a request to email proposals. Please provide the email attachment size limit that can be received by the provided email address. Due to file size, multiple emails may have to be sent (one for each volume).
Alternately, the Government may choose to provide a file upload site for electronic submittal. Please advise.
Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
40 Section L Instructions for Offerors regarding submission of proposal
Section L does not contain any instructions to offerors on delivery of the hard copies of the proposal (where they should be delivered – how to arrange hand delivery, address for overnight mailing, etc.). Please provide.
Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
41 Is the Price Anderson nuclear indemnification applicable to this work? Offerors should proceed as if the "Price Anderson nuclear indemnification" is not applicable to this procurement.
42 Formation of teamming arrangements
I am supporting a team of companies that is forming a brand new LLC created specially to join together the NRC decommissioning experience and ship husbandry capabilities into one single fit‐for‐purpose entity just for this opportunity. However, the RFP says the "prime Offeror" must possess the mandatory eligibility requirements. My guess is that MARAD intends to extend the term the prime Offeror to mean the parents of the entities forming such a JV/LLC? However, I am concerned an unsuccessful bidder may protest and delay the award by saying that the new LLC did not meet the requirements because it has no past performance (and technically it is the prime Offer) of its own and therefore has no NRC experience, or no experience at all since it is a newly formed entity. Please add a sentence to L.2 and L.10 that clearly states that experience and MER requirements may be met by the parent companies when a new JV/LLC is formed.
The NRC MER has been clarified. Please see amendment 0002.
43 Include P.L. 85‐804 Would MARAD consider amending the RFP to include Public Law 85‐804? No. Offerors should proceed as if the indemnification provided under P.L. 85‐804 is not applicable to this procurement.
44 Pricing for barge crane and availability
Can MARAD please provide additional details on the availability, capabilities and costs associated with the use of the barge crane mentioned as a resource in the solicitation?
Proposective offerors need to identify sources and obtain estimates for services.
45 Pier 13 Information Please provide any/all structural data on the pier that the NS Savannah is currently berthed at. Included in Section J (Attachment J‐1: Other Technical Documents)
46 Section C Page 67 of the Solicitation – Please provide the refueling SAR, procedures and any construction reference documents mentioned in the first sentence of solicitation Section C‐7.2.1.3 to assist with understanding the sequencing of dismantlement activities.
Refueling SAR and procedures are in STS SP at RM‐ Topical ‐ FSAR ‐ Folder "Fuel Shuffle"; please copy over to J‐X Other Documents listed in the SOW
47 Equipment on the Pier Please provide clarification of what components and equipment can/cannot be placed on the pier. Is it the correct understanding that no activated or contaminated reactor equipment removed from the NS Savannah can be placed on the pier for segmenting or other activities? Must each package be placed directly onto the mode of conveyance (rail, truck, barge, etc.) to respect the license boundary of the vessel?
All handling activities, including segmenting (if performed) or other, must be performed on the ship. Only crane(s), transport vehicles, and loaded waste packages may be landed on the pier. Depending on the size of the package and mode of transportation (e.g., reactor vessel, rail), waste packages may be transhipped (e.g., heavy lift truck or barge) to another Baltimore terminal for final loading and departure survey.
48 D&D experience To clarify, the PRIME Offeror must be the one with D&D experience at a licensed NRC facility? Correct
49 Section J Formatting and PDF submission
RFP Section J‐3 lists using Microsoft Project for the integrated master schedule (IMS) and final schedule for activities.
To ensure EVMS project reporting, we used P6 as our scheduling tool. Would MARAD consider allowing the contractor to manage its schedule using the P6 tool? Would a PDF version of both the IMS and Final Schedule of Major Activities be acceptable for proposal submission purposes?
All proposal submissions and contract deliverables must be compatible with the Microsoft Office Suite 2016 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project) or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
50 During the performance of the contract do we use our/sub’s procurement processes or NSS Process? The resulting contract will be a commercial item contract. The offeror shall use its commercial purchasing procedures and consider all applicable STS procedures when making purchases.
51 Quality Classification List Can the bidders receive a copy of the current Quality Classification List? The Quality Classification List will be uploaded to SharePoint with the posting of amendment 0002 or soon therafter.
52 Section L Past Performance Questionnaire
To help MARAD understand the scope of work that was performed and evaluated on in the past performance questionnaires, can we submit our past performance reference projects as an attachment to Volume IV Past Performance? If so, can we request a 5 page limit per project?
Offerors shall provide past performance narratives IAW L.10 of the RFP.
53 Abatement/Remediation Based on our review of the RFP documents thus far (keep in mind we lost the link) it is not clear if all asbestos containing materials have been removed entirely from the NSS. We believe someone on the call Tuesday mentioned that the asbestos had been abated. Can you confirm if, in fact, all asbestos containing materials (ACM) have been removed. If not, has a comprehensive asbestos survey been completed that identifies all types, quantities and locations of ACM in the NSS?
ACM‐containing insulation has been removed from the Containment Vessel, and will be disposed of prior to contract award. Minor residual ACM may be present within the CV in hard‐to‐reach areas. See the response to questions 28 for additional information.
54 Have the paints inside the CV been sampled for PCB content? Due to the age of the vessel, all paints are presumed to contain lead; all steel surfaces (except stainless steel) are presumed to be primed with zinc chromate paint; and pcb is present in paint inside the CV.
55 J J‐1 Index of Technical Documents
Will MARAD provide a complete inventory (MS Word or Excel) of the J‐1 Technical Documents to assist bidders in comprehensive understanding and review?
The J‐1 Technical Documents inventory will be uploaded to SharePoint with the posting of amendment 0002 or soon therafter.
56 J MARAD SharePoint site:
J‐1 Index of Technical Documents
Will MARAD provide a drawing list or index of the B&W and New York Shipbuilding drawings? All available drawings, lists or indeces will be uploaded to SharePoint with the posting of amendment 0002 or soon therafter.
57 Section C C‐7.2.1.5 Section C‐7.2.1.5, Lifting and Rigging
Lifting and Rigging, refers to STS‐194 with regard to the load limits on the pier structure. As noted during the pre‐bid WebEx meeting, we do not currently have access to STS‐194. On this same topic, a Figure labeled “g2.
SKM_C45819082116431” was found on the MARAD Savannah RFP website in the folder labeled “Other Documents identified in the SOW”. This Figure shows six shaded zones on the pier with “PSF” numbers for each zone. Are the load limit numbers shown on Figure labeled g2. SKM_C45819082116431 the current load limits on the pier in pounds per square foot? If not, will MARAD provide the current load limits?
Yes, they are current.
58 Section C C‐7.2.1.5 Lifting and Rigging Will MARAD provide Decommissioning Operations Plan (STS‐194) as soon as possible as it is critical to RFP response? STS‐194 will be uploaded to SharePoint with the posting of amendment 0002 or soon therafter.
59 J‐1 Index MARAD SharePoint site: Many bidders are having trouble accessing the MARAD SharePoint site evidenced by our own experience and the FAQ posted to the site. Will MARAD make all solicitation attachments available by another means such as CDROM?
At this time, there is no plan for a wider release of the Section J attachments. Interested parties are encouraged to continue communicating access issues with Lisa Miles.
60 L.10 VOLUME IV – PAST
PERFORMANCE
PPQ Requirements Many of our Commercial Nuclear clients have a policy prohibiting PPQ submission. Will MARAD accept a PPQ that was approved by the client and submitted for another proposal this year?
We will consider approved PPQs prepared for other proposals, as long it meets L.10 and cleary identifies that the submission is in response to this RFP.
61 Minimum Eligibility Requirements (MER)
In addition to the MER, are any restrictions placed on foreign owned and/or influenced company(s) (as prime or as team member) in performing Decommissioning and License Termination work?
No, outside the MER, there are no restrictions.
75 Section C C‐2.2.1 NRC Licensing and Regulatory Compliance
Please confirm the Government will not indemnify the contractor for nuclear liability under Price Anderson Amendments Act or any other Federal Nuclear Liability Program, or provide any compensation coverage against liabilities or claims arising from nuclear incidents.
Offerors should proceed as if the "Price Anderson nuclear indemnification" is not applicable to this procurement.
76 Section C C‐7.2.1, Pg 65 Ventilation Systems 9th bullet states: ‘Remove and package all remaining auxiliary systems and associated components for shipment as they become nonessential to the vessel removal operations (e.g., waste collection and processing systems, electrical and ventilation systems, etc.); Paragraph C‐7.2.1.1, Page 66, last sentence states: ‘Ventilation systems shall be maintained until license termination, and shall not be removed thereafter’. Please clarify the conflict with respect to the Ventilation Systems.
The ventilation systems to be maintained until license termination include the new climate control and exhaust systems installed during Phase I.
78 Section B Page 20, Labor (CLIN 0009) Please confirm the Table for CLIN 0009 is intended for the offeror to list its part time (or case‐by‐case basis) support. Correct. The RFP has been updated. See Amendment 0002.
82 Section L. 5 Volume III Letters of Commitment The table labeled “Proposal Organization” lists Letters of Commitment in Volume II but provide the Letters of Commitment in Volume III. Please clarify the appropriate location.
Offerors shall include Letters of Commitment in Volume II. The RFP has been updated accordingly. See amendment 0002.
83 Section L. 7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MERs Please provide instructions for submitting the mandatory eligibility requirements; there are evaluation criteria in M.2 Mandatory Eligibility Requirements but no instructions in Section L.
Proposal submission format and instructions will be provided via a future amendment.
84 Section L.10 VOLUME IV Please confirm that when using a subcontractor for Ship Husbandry, the offeror may submit up to 2 PPQs for the subcontractor.
Correct.
85 Section L Pages Counted Please clarify whether the letters of commitment are page limited. Letters of Commitment shall be included in Volume II and have a 5 page limit. The RFP has been updated accordingly. See amendment 0002.
86 Section L Proposal Organization Please clarify if the WBS exhibit is part of the Volume III 10‐page limit. The Decomposed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is excluded from the proposal page count. This has been clarified in amendment 0002.
87 Section L Proposal Organization Please confirm the Organizational Charts are limited to 2 pages each, and are not part of the Volume III 10‐page limit.
The Organizational Charts are limited to 2 pages and ARE part of the Volume III 10‐page limit.
88 Section L Proposal Organization Please confirm that 11x17 pages are counted as 1 page each. Graphics printed on 11x17 page size will be counted as 2 pages for each chart and included in the total page count.
