SF30 QUESTION AND ANSWERS AIR COMPRESSOR.pdf

1. FCE5/7 Inline Filter Specifications and Quantities Issue: The SOW currently lists the inline filter on Page 4 as “FCE5/7 Inline Filter, Serial No.

40,” and then on Page 6 requires the contractor to “furnish and replace forty (40) FCE5/7 filter elements” during the Major PM.

Questions:

• Is “Serial No. 40” a typo? If so, what is the actual serial number of the filter housing?

• Is the quantity “forty (40)” a typo? Standard inline filters usually require only 1 to 4 elements. Please clarify the exact number of elements required for a single Major PM service.

ANSWER: Serial number is 40. Qty: is 2 filters. Changed out during the major service.

2. Oil Analysis Requirements Issue: SOW Pages 4 and 5 state that the contractor must “obtain an oil sample for analysis,” but the SOW does not define who performs the testing. Bidders are asking whether they are responsible for laboratory testing or if they only need to provide the raw sample to the Coast Guard.

Question:

• Does the unit require the contractor to send the oil sample to an independent, certified laboratory for analysis and provide a formal written report to the COR, including wear metals, viscosity, etc.? Or is the contractor only expected to physically draw the sample and provide it to Coast Guard personnel?

ANSWER: Contractor is to quote for drawing the oil and performing lab analysis.

• Please confirm that the “48-hour emergency response” requires the technician to physically arrive onsite at Base Miami Beach within 48 hours of notification.
