This is a Questions and Answers document for RFQ 70Z08126QELIZ0018, dated August 12, 2026. The document addresses contractor inquiries regarding the use of on-site resources for load testing equipment.

The Q&A clarifies that contractors must provide all weights, vehicles, equipment, and testing materials necessary to inspect and load test equipment. Organic resources (materials already present on the Base) are not permitted for use as test-weight material. The only exception to this restriction applies to boat lifts specified in Section 11 – Detailed Technical Requirements (subsection d), for which contractors may submit a detailed plan of action for approval that may or may not include using the boats for load testing purposes. This clarification directly addresses a potential ambiguity in the Materials Planning Criteria (MPCs) regarding whether on-site vehicles, boats, and equipment could substitute for dedicated test weights.

Questions and Answers as of August 12, 2026

1. The MPCs say organic resources can be used for test-weight material as long as the actual weight is verified. Are contractors allowed to use suitable vehicles, boats, equipment, or other material already on the Base as the test load instead of bringing in dedicated test weights?

Answer: The Contractor shall provide all weights, vehicles, equipment, testing materials, etc. to inspect and load test the equipment. The only exception to this will be the boat lifts outlined in Section 11 – Detailed Technical Requirements (subsection d). The Contractor shall provide a detailed plan of action for approval which may or may not include using the boats to load test.

2. If using what is already onsite is allowed, ensuring the weight is verified and everything is rigged safely?

Answer: Organic resources will not be allowed. The only exception to this will be the boat lifts outlined in Section 11 – Detailed Technical Requirements (subsection d). The Contractor shall provide a detailed plan of action for approval which may or may not include using the boats to load test.
