Questions and Answers (Q&As) Solicitation Number: 6991PE21Q000005

FOR:

FS-65 MARY ANN Drydocking, Grit Blasting, Coating, and Other Repairs

1. Question: How firm is the start date for the POP of this solicitation? XXX has conflicts in our schedule that would not allow us to perform the work until XX/XX start.

Answer: MARAD prefers the start date for work performed at the Shipyard to start on or before September 15, 2021. However, if the Quoter would like to propose an alternate start date for the actual work performed at the Shipyard, the Quoter may do so. Since this project is funded with Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funds, some type of performance needs to happen on or before September 30, 2021 and needs to be clearly delineated in the Quoter’s proposed alternate project schedule. This can be work in preparation for the project or purchase of materials. MARAD will review the alternate project schedule and determine if it is acceptable.

The Combined Synopsis/Solicitation has been revised to reflect that the September 15, 2021 start date is preferred start date.
