CLARIFICATIONS

QUESTION 1a: Specification Item 3.1.14: We note under boat construction that you have not required a construction standard. We recommend adding ISO 12215 structural standard Category B, Sea State 4 wave heights.

QUESTION 1b. Stability: We do not see a stability requirement. We recommend the addition of ISO 12217 stability requirements for Category B wave heights for your security.

ANSWER: Specification Item 3.1.3 is hereby changed as follows:

FROM: Requirement: Boat must conform to 33CFR, Code of Federal Regulations (Part #183)

TO: Requirement: Boat must conform to current ABYC standard or ISO equivalent standards.

QUESTION 2: Specification Item 3.1.14: 5086 is the specified aluminum. Will you accept 5083 grade aluminum, which is 25% stronger than 5086 after welding? Our ongoing US Navy and Coast Guard Contracts are all 5083.

ANSWER: TPWD requires 5086 aluminum. If a Vendor is taking exception to a specification, they must clearly identify the exception and state how it will meet the agency’s needs and/or is better than specification listed. TPWD will consider exceptions and make an award determination based on project requirements and best value.

QUESTION 4: Specification Item 3.1.17: We are not sure what is meant by a 16’ diameter fender 12”. Do you only want a 16’ long fender for part of the hull side or is a full-length fender intended?

ANSWER: TPWD requires a D-shape foam fender system that extends the length of the vessel to provide optimal performance and protect hull from structures or objects in which it may come in contact.

Specification Item 3.1.17, Item A hereby changed as follows:

FROM: Foam fender shall be “Half D” configuration based on sixteen-foot (16’) diameter fender 12” OD x 6” standoff x 72” LG, Type 450. Color shall be black with channel slots for attachment.

QUESTION 5: Specification Item 3.2.2: To confirm, you intend to mount 4 engines per boat for a total of 8 engines.

ANSWER: It is TPWD’s intent to power each boat with four (4) outboard motors. Total quantity of eight (8) outboard motors are required.

QUESTION 6: Specification Item 3.5.9.: Under electronics, we do not see a FLIR thermal imaging camera. Is one required?

ANSWER: TPWD does not require a FLIR imaging camera.

QUESTION 7: Due to the complexity of the specifications and answers required to complete bid drawings, we request a 2-week extension to the close.

ANSWER: TPWD has extended the bid due date with the issuance of this Addendum.

ANSWER: TPWD will accept other hull designs that are not mono step type hulls.

Line item 1 of IFB is hereby changed as follows:

FROM: 40-50 ft. Mono Step Hull Aluminum Boat

TO: 40-50 ft. Mono or Mono Step Hull Aluminum Boat
