APPENDIX E-Clarification Request Form.docx

This is an appendix containing a clarification request form template for use in the solicitation process. The form serves as the standard format that bidders must use when submitting questions or requesting clarifications regarding the IFB for FY26 Dredging and Sediment Disposal services at three U.S. Coast Guard locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bidders are instructed to submit completed clarification request forms to both Vincent Yee (vincent.yee@uscg.mil) and Samantha Watts (Samantha.C.Watts1@uscg.mil) rather than submitting inquiries through other channels. The form enables the Government to organize, track, and respond to questions in a systematic manner during the pre-award phase of this unrestricted IFB solicitation.

The clarification request form is identified in the solicitation documents as Appendix F and is a required tool for any bidder seeking technical or administrative clarification prior to bid submission. This structured approach ensures consistent communication between potential contractors and the Government and allows for formal documentation of all questions and answers that may be relevant to other bidders or the evaluation process.
