How will the determination to repair or replace a target be made? Is there a limit/estimate on the number of targets to be repaired annually?

Is there a limit/estimate on the dollar amount of repair materials required by the contractor?

Repair or replacement will be at the discretion of the Range Operations Officer or designated government representative based on factors such as the how much the target has been damaged by training activities, visiting/deployed unit feedback/training requirements, and environmental conditions.

The number of targets to be repaired annually is limited by the quantity of target materials - vehicles, shipping containers, and paint listed in para. 1.1.4 of the PWS and the time available to conduct range maintenance listed in para 1.1.2.1 and 1.1.2.2.

An Appendix A-5 listing the historical target complex typical tasks for a year has been added to the PWS workload.

i) Pricing Related Data - All pricing data shall be addressed ONLY in the Price Proposal and Contract Documentation Volumes. Price trade-off information, work estimates, and material kinds and quantities may be used in other volumes only as appropriate for presenting rationale for alternatives or design and trade-off decisions. All pricing information shall be addressed in the Contract Documentation volume, in Section B of the Schedule of the RFP. Information shall be limited to Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) or SubCLIN including unit and extended pricing, as specified in Section B of the RFP.

Price Reasonableness This section is to assist you in submitting pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal.

Unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.

… Price reasonableness will be determined based on a comparison of each offeror’s total evaluated price.

The RFP states Cost or Pricing data is not required due to anticipated sufficient competition. The RFP further states, “All pricing information shall be addressed in the Contract Documentation volume, in Section B of the Schedule of the RFP. Information shall be limited to Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) or SubCLIN including unit and extended pricing, as specified in Section B of the RFP.”

The RFP also states, “Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.” But the RFP further states, “Price reasonableness will be determined based on a comparison of each offeror’s total evaluated price.”

Will the Government please clarify what, if any, information offerors should provide in Volume 3 to demonstrate reasonableness, since cost and pricing data are not required at this time.

RFP revised.

Although certified Cost or Pricing data is not required, Offerors should provide Other than Cost or Pricing data in sufficient detail to demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirement.

References to the Range materials needed to support the entire function

Would the government clarify what bidders are to include for costs of all materials, supplies, labor etc. in the FFP amount for range targets?

Repair or replacement will be at the discretion of the Range Operations Officer or designated government representative based on factors such as the how much the target has been damaged by training activities, visiting/deployed unit feedback/training requirements, and environmental conditions.

The number of targets to be repaired annually is limited by the quantity of target materials - vehicles, shipping containers, and paint listed in para. 1.1.4 of the PWS and the time available to conduct range maintenance listed in para 1.1.2.1 and 1.1.2.2.

An Appendix A-5 listing the historical target complex typical tasks for a year has been added to the PWS workload.

1.1.5.3

PS-2

The contractor shall inspect and test all target vehicles for the presence of radiological material in instrumentation, weapon sighting devices, and other on-board systems before placing these vehicles on ranges. The contractor will coordinate with the 23 WG Bio-Environmental Engineer (BEE) for the removal, packaging, storage, and disposal of all radiological material.

PS-2 Implement a process to screen incoming target vehicles/materials for radiological and other hazardous materials

AFI 13-212 ACC Sup 1 (4.18.3.1) states that radiological screening will be conducted in coordination with the Installation Radiation Safety Officer. Radiological detection equipment will be operated by appropriately trained personnel.

APAFR Addendum A to AFI 13-212 (1.2.7) states that the APAFR ROO/DO fills the position of the Installation Radiation Safety Officer.

• Will the IRSO be available to support screening upon target receipt and/or prior to performing sanitizing operations?

• Will training on the detection equipment be provided?

A government employee will be available to conduct screening upon target vehicle receipt and/or prior to sanitization. The contractor will not be required to operate the detection equipment so no training will be provided. Paragraph 1.1.5.3 Has been changed to read – “The government shall inspect and test all target vehicles for the presence of radiological material in instrumentation, weapon sighting devices, and other on-board systems before placing these vehicles on ranges. The government will coordinate with the 23 WG Installation Radiation Safety Officer (IRSO) for the removal, packaging, storage, and disposal of all radiological material.”

PWS Page 11-12, Para.

1.1.5.5

The contractor shall ensure that interstitial spaces of storage tanks, boilers, transport trailers, etc., are free of asbestos or asbestos bearing material before placing these items on the range. The contractor shall manage and dispose of any asbestos found during target preparation IAW the APAFR Asbestos Management and Operations Plans.

Should the cost for disposal or remediation of unsuitable targets (i.e., those found with fiberglass, asbestos) be included in the FFP proposal?

Costs for disposal of asbestos and/or fiberglass will not be included in the FFP proposal. The last sentence of para 1.1.5.5 has been changed to read – “The government shall manage and dispose of any suspected asbestos found by the contractor during target preparation IAW the APAFR Asbestos Management and Operations Plans.” Fiberglass will be handled as a solid waste in the refuse program.

When was the last inspection for all bridges and when is the next required inspection? Is the cost of the engineering support to perform the required Bridge Inspections included in the FFP or as cost reimbursable?

All listed bridges are on a 24 month cycle and require inspection IAW UFC requirements by designated AF contract.

Last inspection IAW UFC was done in Oct 2014. Next UFC required inspection is due Oct 2016. BOS contractor will need to identify funding requirement to AFIMSC. Any non-UFC inspections of the bridges to determine bridge condition after a storm event or for BUILDER input would be part of the FFP proposal.
