ANSWER: Question refers to items that were removed on purpose to lower the number of contract line items (CLINS). All these items are redundant, not needed or have been combined with other line items. For instance, butt joints are covered by the sawcutting CLINs.

QUESTION: 5. The pre-proposal conference minutes from June 14 indicate that there are three amendments. FedBizOpps also shows three amendments. However, the file called Amendment 3 is actually amendment 2. The file called Amendment 2 does not contain Standard Form 30 to amend/modify the contract. Am I correct to assume that only 2 amendments actually exist?

ANSWER: There are 4 amendments that have presently been attached with an SF30 and need to be accepted on your proposal. There is also an updated solicitation that was posted in order to remove the draft stamp off the original solicitation. In addition to that there was an updated ‘Sample Survey Cover Letter’ that was posted to the FedBizOpps solicitation. It did not have an attached SF30. Here are the present amendments with an explanation of what they are for.

Amendment 1 is to identify the unit of issue for several of the CLINs. All of CLINs affected are addressed in the attached SF30.

Amendment 2 was to identify the updated list of CLINs that will be affected by an economic price adjustment.

Amendment 3 was to incorporate clause 52.225-11 Alternate I, clause 52.225-12 Alternate II, and to add a table of contents for the specifications as an attachment.

Amendment 4 was to identify previous amendments that had not been addressed in an SF30 and to clarify a conformed copy of the solicitation was placed on FBO following amendment 4.

QUESTION: 6. Amendment 2 (as shown on Standard Form 30) changes pages of the solicitation that have blanks to be filled in as part of our price response. However, the pages with revised information have not been issued to replace the original solicitation pages. The pages in question include but are not limited to the 160 - 162. The amendment pages are not formatted correctly to simply replace the original solicitation pages. Are you going to replace the solicitation pages?

ANSWER: This amendment is shown as amendment 2 above. It was done to correct the line items that pertain to the economic price adjustment. In order to do that the CLINs had to be corrected at the bottom of section B, as well as in the economic price adjustment portion of section H. I am posting a conformed solicitation document. The page numbers are to be the same. Only the affected CLINs have changed from this amendment.

2. If you have any questions, please contact John M Lynch at 302-677-4603 or e-mail him at john.lynch.16@us.af.mil
