Solicitation DTMA98R20120001 Amendment No. 000007 Questions & Answers

No. QUESTION ANSWER

1 If a bidder lists a current contract with the Maritime Administration, do we have to submit a Form J‐7 for this contract reference? The RFP states, “Note: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO

REQUEST PERFORMANCE DATA FROM MARAD

UNDER MARAD SHIP MANAGER CONTRACTS.

The past performance evaluation team has access to this.” The meaning of this statement is unclear, but seems to indicate that a Form J‐7 is not required to be submitted by the bidders.

Current contracts with the Maritime Administration may be submitted using the form at Attachment J.7.

2 If a bidder lists multiple contracts with the Maritime Administration, is each contract counted as one past performance reference?

This seems to be indicated by the added sentence contained in Section L.9.1.b in Amendment 0006. Since every Ship Group is treated as a separate contract, this would mean that each contract associated with a Ship Group would be counted toward the five allowable references. Please clarify.

Each contract with the Maritime Administration submitted using the form at Attachment J.7 is considered as one past performance reference.

3 Requirements formerly listed in section L.8 have now been moved to section L.9.1.g. Is MARAD requesting a separate proposal section for this requirement or is this requirement considered inclusive of the data provided in section L.9.1.a.2? Paragraph L.9.1.g limits the proposal to four contracts while section L.9.1.a.2 limits the proposal to five contracts.

These paragraphs appear to be duplications with conflicting requirements.

Paragraph L.9.1.g was included inadvertently and is hereby removed in its entirety.

4 An offeror who uploaded their proposal for DTMA98R20120001 on Thursday 3/29 asked if the changes in Amendment 6 required them to resubmit our proposal.

As a minimum, by the final date/time established for receipt of proposals, the offeror must acknowledge receipt of all amendments issued to the solicitation including amendments issued subsequent to an offeror submitting their proposal. Up until the date/time established for receipt of proposals, the offeror may either revise or not revise their proposal in any way they deem appropriate.
