# RFP Reference Question Response

423-1.2

Please note that the 6-pin cable specified here: 423-1.2 "NMEA cables with six (6) pin connector, Furuno Part #000-125-237 is required to install the SINS equipment" is not absolutely required for installation of this suite of SINS equipment, as that part number is specific to a different vessel configuration. Some Furuno data cables will be required, however, it may be left to the interpretation of the bidder(s) which cables

“must” be used.

Spec number 423-1.2 will be deleted in Amendment 000002. Final configuration to be determined by offeror.

423-1.1.3

In regards to the following: 423-1.1.3 SINS shall accept and display AIS/iBFT (blue force tracking) plotter tracks. Please note that the

Furuno NavNet 3D MFD12 can accept standard Universal Automatic Identification

System (UAIS) target and track data.

HOWEVER, there is no universal data sentence syntax for transmission or display of iBFT “Blue Force” AIS data on COTS equipment. This requirement may need to be reworded.

The standard universal automatic identification system target and data is acceptable. Refer to 424-8.1. The requirement is for space and weight reservation. The offeror is not responsible for providing the syntax for transmission or display at this time.

423-1.1.5

Please note there appears to be a typographical error in this portion of the specification: 423-1.1.5 GP-37 GPS/DGPS with GPA09 GPS antenna. The standard-supply antenna with the GP37 DGPS navigator is Furuno Part Number “GPA019” repeat “GPA019”. 423-1.1.5 will be updated to read "GPA019" in Amendment 000002.

423-1.1.5.2

Note the complete part number for the heading sensor is “PG500R”. 423-1.1.5.2

Electric Heading Sensor [PG-500]. The “R” appears to have been omitted by typo error. 423-1.1.5.2 will be updated to read "PG500R" in Amendment 000002.

Depth transducer selection and network echosounder performance. It is of concern that the performance specification for the echosounder and transducer may be difficult for any vendor to achieve. What are the real expectations for display of depth based on speed and sea state for this boat?

Please refer to 423-1.3 which reads "as set forth in Section 051". The only measured performance is at speeds up to 42 knots and Sea State 0. Other operating conditions will not be tested.
