52.212-2 General Submission Requirements Pg. 4 & 7

Factor 1, SubFactor 2 a.

The RFP does not include the integrated master schedule (IMS) as a separate electronic file. We believe the IMS should be included as a Microsoft Project electronic file. Does the Government agree that the IMS should be submitted as a separate file from Volume 1 and Volume 2 ?

The IMS provided by the offeror may be a separate attachment to the proposal and will not count toward the page total.

This IMS shall be submitted in PDF. A copy of the updated solicitation is attached.

Disassembly Phase 3 indicates that wings, vertical and horizontal stabilizer could be removed however we were unable to locate a task card for this work. Please confirm if the removal of these components will be scheduled for this check.

The wing removal will be at the discretion of the contractor, as it is not required. Some overhaul providers prefer the wings off to conduct a better inspection and to alleviate late findings that may require a wing to come off.

0005?

Materials for CLIN 0003 will be paid for with the material CLIN. Materials for CLIN 0005 Paint should be included within CLIN 0005.

If this is the case and SOW section 2.1 states that “Aircraft deficiencies noted on the Aircraft Condition Report (CG-103) that are not covered by the PSI shall be considered non-routine repairs.” Can the Aircraft Condition Report be provided so as to include incoming deficiencies in the FFP and consider another CLIN to be provided to capture this. Otherwise incoming aircraft deficiencies should be treated as “Unexpected Work”.
