			1	Attachment 7 Instructions to Offerors.		Price Volume		There are no references to the Defense Base Act (DBA) in the documents from the government. Would the government prefer DBA costs to be included in the Firm Fixed price CLINs or proposed separately as a cost reimbursable line item? It appears that FAR 52.228-3 should be listed in the RFP documents and may have been an oversight. Even if this is not included, under the Christian Doctrine, we would still be required to secure this coverage.

The Defense Base Act (DBA), 42 U.S.C. §1651 et seq., provides workers’ compensation benefits pursuant to the provisions of the Longshore Act for the injury or death of any employee engaged in any employment outside the continental U.S.: (1) at any military base acquired from a foreign government after January 1, 1940; or (2) upon lands used by the U.S. for military purposes in any Territory or possession; or (3) upon any public work in any Territory or possession if such employee is working under the contract of a contractor with the U.S.; (4) under a contract with the United States or an agency thereof, or any subcontract to such a contract, for the purpose of “public work;” (5) under a contract approved and financed by the U.S. or any agency thereof, or any subordinate contract under the Mutual Security Act of 1954; (6) by an American employer providing welfare or similar services for the benefit of the Armed Forces. Source: 42 U.S.C. §1651(a)(1)-(6).

Several Court Cases has also affirmed that DBA coverage must be applied to employees within Puerto Rico:

• The First Circuit affirmed the grant of summary judgment for employer on the ground that employer was immune from a personal injury suit brought by the family of decedent who died in explosion at a naval station in Puerto Rico, holding that Puerto Rico is considered a “territory” for purposes of DBA coverage. The Act is therefore the sole remedy. Source: Davila-Perez v. Lockheed Martin Corp., 202 F.3d 464, 34 BRBS 67(CRT) (1st Cir. 2000).

• The district court held that the DBA applied to employees who work on United States military bases in Puerto Rico and that an employer that secures insurance coverage for its employees as required by the DBA is entitled to tort immunity under the Longshore Act. Source: Colon v. U.S. Dept. of Navy, 223 F.Supp.2d 368 (D.P.R. 2002).

FAR 52.228-3 has been included in the contract. Any associated costs should be included in the FFP CLINS.	Yes
		2	Attachment 8 - Evaluation Factors	page 3		LPTA procedures	Will the Government please confirm that the intended source selection process for this LPTA procurement will be as follows: 1) arrange all bids by total price, from lowest to highest; 2) perform a technical evaluation of the lowest price proposal; 3) if the lowest priced proposal reviewed is deemed technically acceptable, stop evaluations and make award; 4) if deemed unacceptable, the process will continue with each higher priced proposal in sequence until a proposal is deemed technically acceptable.
		3	PWS	Page 17	6.3.3	Maintenance Plan	Is the draft Maintenance Plan to be included as an Appendix, and outside of the page count limit? Will the content of the Maintenance Plan be evaluated?	Requirement of a draft Maintenance Plan to be provided with proposl has been removed as a deliverable.	Yes
		4	PWS	Page 17	6.3.1.3	System Operations Plan	Is the draft System Operations Plan to be included as an Appendix, and outside of the page count limit? Will the content of the Plan be evaluated?	Requirement of a draft System Operations Plan to be provided with proposl has been removed as a deliverable.	Yes
		5	Attachment 5	EXCEL	Pricing	CLIN structure	The pricing template issued under Amendment 1 includes new site CLINs, but does not include a Lease SLIN in 4 of the 5 new CLINs. Was this an oversight?	Attachment 5, CLIN X035 was updated to read Blue Mountain. In attachment 5, CLIN X035AB was added for leases. USCG RFF Cerro Maravilla requires its own commercial tower space lease, connecting to CLIN X025 (DISA Cerro De Punta #2 via m/w). A USCG tower space lease is listed on CLIN X025AB. Additionally, USCG RFF Crown Mountain, St. Thomas, CLIN X036AB requires a commerical tower space lease. USCG RFF St. Thomas connects to DHS-ICE St. Thomas via short-range m/w. The tower space for the USCG m/w equipment at the DHS-ICE PRAWS lcoation is mutually agreed upon between USCG and DHS-ICE.	Yes
		6	PWS	Page 4-5		Figure 1 and Table 1	Figure 1 depicts the added USCG link (per Amendment 1) as St. Croix / Blue Mountain while Table 1 lists St. Croix / St. George's Hill. Please clarify which is accurate.	All References to USCG RFF St. Croix should reflect Blue Mountain. PWS Figure 1 and Table 1 have been updated to read Blue Mountain.	Yes
		7	PWS	page 7	6.3	Operations & Maintenance	Can the Maintenance Plan be combined with the System Operation Plan into a single document (draft) for submittal with the proposal?	Drafts no longer required to be submitted with proposal, but they should remain two separate documents when submitted after award.	Yes
		9	Attachment 8	page 3		LPTA methodology	Please confirm if the following accurately describes the source selection process for this LPTA procurement. First, all proposals received are reviewed and those deemed technically acceptable are selected and ranked in price order. The lowest priced proposal from this pool of technically acceptable proposals will receive the award.	Attachment 7, Instructions to Offerors has been updated with the following language, "After receipt of proposals, the Government will first evaluate the lowest price proposal. If the lowest price proposal is determined to be technically acceptable and otherwise properly awardable, no further evaluations will be conducted, and award will be made. If, however, the lowest price proposal is determined to be technically unacceptable and/or otherwise not properly awardable, further evaluations will be conducted."	Yes
		10	Attachment 5	EXCEL	Pricing	CLIN structure	The pricing template issued under Amendment 1 includes new site CLINs, but does not include a Lease SLIN in 4 of the 5 new CLINs. Was this an oversight?	Attachment 5, CLIN X035 was updated to read Blue Mountain. In attachment 5, CLIN X035AB was added for leases. USCG RFF Cerro Maravilla is on USCG-leased space, connecting to CLIN X025 via m/w. The tower space lease on CLIN X025AB and tower space lease CLIN X035AB are the only two of the five USCG locations requiring a tower space lease.	Yes
		11	Attachment 5	EXCEL	Pricing	CLIN structure	Under CLIN 0025 one of the SLINs listed is 0026AC. Is the correct SLIN 0025AC?	0	Yes
		12					Is the contractor required to provide any equipment or tools as part of this solicitation?	Yes, the contracotr should have their own test equipment, tools and software in order to keep the network operational.	No

		16	PWS	page 18	12	Security Requirements	In section 12, it states “the work to be conducted under this PWS is Unclassified”. However further down the second paragraph it state “ a. A SECRET clearance is required for this contract” can you please clarify what security level must the on-site technician posses in order to maintain the equipment and the encprytion devices?	A Secret clearance is required to work on this network.	No
		17	PWS	12	6	Minimum a SECRET clearance	Can the Prime be in a JV agreement approved by SBA to provide the clearance requirement?	According to the PWS, the prime themselves must have a secret facility clearance. Therefore, only having a sub with the clearance and not the prime is not acceptable.	No
		18	PWS	12	6	Minimum a SECRET clearance	Can the Prime submit the sub-contractors clearance to fulfill the requirement?	In an actual SBA recognized JV, both members of the JV serve as the prime. Therefore, if any one member of the JV has the required clearance, then the JV is considered to have the clearance or meet the requirement.	No
