QA: Tasks #1 and #2 are for the existing Single Point Davit. Task #3 and further apply to the “New Davit”.

QB: With the above clarified information, a deadline of the first 25% of the contract is reasonable for the CIRs required by “3.4 Maintenance particulars, Task 1 – Operate and Inspect, Initial” and “3.5 Operational and Weight Test Plan”.
