PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS’ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, AND DUE DATE

EXTENSION

1. Question 1: I have one additional question as we’re evaluating whether or not we’ll propose a vessel. The specs. call out for a downsounder/fishfinder of either a Simrad ES60, EK60 or ES70. Would you accept and ES80 or EK80 which is basically an updated ES70 (EK is the scientific version)?

Response: A 38 kHz Simrad split-beam transducer as stated in the solicitation and a 38 kHz EK80 would be acceptable.

The Government’s order of preference is for (1) EK60; (2) ES60/ES70; (3) EK80;

(4) ES80, with ES80 by far the least favorable as we don't know its performance characteristics.

The minimum requirement in the charter specifications is just a simrad 38 kHz split-beam transducer in working order, which is absolutely essential.

2. Question 2: The equation for calculating fuel uses 75 days and then schedule calls for 77 days of fuel use. Please confirm what you want people to provide, I assume it’s 77 but want to confirm.

Response: The Government wants offerors to use 77 days and provide us with a daily rate.

3. The hour and date specified for receipt of offers is extended, from 12:00 PM (PT) on April 14, 2017, to 6:00 PM (PT) on Tuesday, April 18, 2017.

This change in the offer due date is also effective for the Past Performance Questionnaire.

All other terms and conditions of Solicitation Number AB-133F-17-RP-0046 remain unchanged.

As specified on Page 1 of this Amendment Number A0004, Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment by completing Block Numbers 8 and 15 and returning a signed copy of this amendment with the Offeror’s proposal.
