RFIs answered:

1) What is the anticipated delivery date would be for this to arrive if we direct ship to Japan?

Answer: That is up to the contractor to bid. Technical acceptability is based upon the chemicals offered. We anticipate 90 days ADC.

2) Would you still consider shipping to Tracy, CA as an option for this procurement?

Answer: No. Due to the shipping constraints and services that Tracy provides, it isn't feasible for us to use it in this instance.

3) The RFQ is for 150,000 liters. A total of 8-9 ISO containers will be required to fulfill the

RFQ as each one can contain approximately 16000 liters. ISO shipping containers must be returned back to port within 7 days. Is the end user expecting staggered deliveries?

Answer: This is up to the contractor to bid. It will not jeopardize technical acceptability as the determination will made upon the chemicals you are providing and the ability to deliver them to

Misawa AB.

4) Will the contractor be required to arrange pump off of the runway deicer (injected) from the

ISO containers or will someone on base be able to do that?

Answer: The contractor will be responsible for the pump off. We do not have in-house capability.

5) How large is the capacity tank?

Answer: 440,000 L
