On line item 006 of bid form of the Schedule of Items, it states an estimated $90,000.00 per year as required for government provided stocked buoys per SOW Section III. Can you please clarify if this statement identifies that the government will reimburse the contractor for all materials associated with the buoys (chain, markers, lights, shackles, rope, weights, etc...) or is this only for reimbursement of the buoys themselves. I appreciate your time on this matter and look forward to your response.

Only for reimbursement of the buoys.
