Question & Answer:

Q1. WI#42 does not specify which Docking Position is required. Should contractor assume # 1?

WI does not discuss a requirement for anticipated days on dock although the Price Schedule Option Item O-00B requests pricing for an additional 45 Lay Days. Is the initial time in dock to be considered 45 days?

A1. Work Item 42 Table 1 - Blocking specifies docking position #3. Contractor is responsible for scheduling adequate number of days in dock to complete all work within the designate PoP. Lay days are for pre-pricing any extension required in dock.

Q2. Work Item# 38 3.3 states "All maintenance procedures required to accomplish work are in accordance with the Maintenance Procedures Cards (MPC) serial number in CG TP 2006.CG Publication TP 2006 was not provided with the drawings and publications.

Can this Publication be provided to assist with pricing of this item? Is the HEALY General Fire Control Plan available?

A2. CG TP 2006 is simply a compilation of all the cutter’s Maintenance Procedure Cards (MPCs). All MPCs applicable to this work item are already referenced and provided individually.

CG TP 2006C is a redundant reference and will be removed in a future Revision.

A HEALY fire control plan is not provided.

A4. We answered the same question via Amendment 2 to the solicitation. Our answer to the above Question 3 remains the same as our answer to question #2 on the published Amendment 2 which is: the due date to submit the proposal will not change. HEALY Cutter will only be available for Dry Dock Repair work from 7 Jan - 7 Jun 2019. Extending the solicitation will delay contract award date, and push the start date beyond 7 Jan 2019. Performance date was determined based on ship's firm scheduled commitments.

Contractors are not required to conduct a Ship Check to submitting a proposal, although encouraged.
