TITLE: SENECA DD FY-22 Q&A

1. QUESTION: Solicitation: Page 2 of the Solicitation indicates that the Required Submittals for this solicitation are 1- Completed Schedule of Services (Attachment 1) and 2- Signed

Solicitation Amendments. However, page 4 of the solicitation, paragraphs (g) and (h) direct the contractor to submit additional information to include those items in the table under

Technical Evaluation Factors. What information is the government requiring the contractor to provide to satisfy the Required Submittal requirement?

ANSWER: The documents on page 2 are to meet the solicitation requirements. Page 4 g and h, is the information required for the technical requirements listed on Page 6 & 7 of the solicitation.

2. Question: Work Item 24: Doppler Speed Log, Replace – Paragraph 3.11 directs the contractor to “provide “red-line” drawings listed under Section 2 to reflect the work or deviations specified in this work item in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0850”.

Please clarify if the government is asking for paper, hard copy red-line drawings or CAD red-line drawings? If CAD drawings are required, will the government provide copies of these drawings in CAD to simplify providing the “red-line” drawings?

ANSWER: There is no specific direction on how to provide them. What seems to be the easiest for most is to print out a section of the electronic DWG, hand draw or note any alterations, changes, modifications that were made, and present to the COR/PE. We then will turn that over to our

Engineering Section for final DWG mark ups and publication. If they choose to use CAD or other

DWG software they can. The important thing is that we receive the information. If they complete the installation without and alterations or modifications, then they can just submit a CFR stating no alteration/modifications were needed.

4. Question: Work Item 36: Doppler Speed Log, Replace – Paragraph 3.6 says, “The

Contractor must install all GFP listed in paragraph 1.2 above; provide and install all other material required to complete installation.” The government is placing the responsibility of identifying all remaining material required for installation of Government Furnished

Material. The contractor is not in a position to determine the material requirements to install the GFM listed in paragraph 1.2 using the references listed in the paragraph “for guidance”.

The contractor requests that the government provide installation drawings or sketches with the required material list in order for the contractor to properly provide a firm fixed price to compete this installation.

Speed Log Work Item.
