Question #1:

Reference: Page 8, Paragraph C.1.3.3.1 states; “The Contractor shall be required to provide supporting documentation as proof of all personnel qualifications, including subcontractor employees.”

Would the Government be able to more definitely articulate the kinds and type of supporting documentation they would require in response to this requirement, especially as it pertains to hiring local resources in foreign overseas locations?

Answer:

During Contract Administration, supporting documentation for local personnel should reflect levels of training from recognized maritime training and certification authorities (i.e. Lloyd's, ISO 9001, AISC, ASME STAMPS, PP‐PRESSURE PIPING, S‐POWER BOILERS, U‐PRESSURE VESSELS, ABS‐ASBESTOS, ETC. These are only examples; each trade and skill set will have its own certification and training structure.)

Question #2:

Reference: Page 9, Paragraph C.1.4 states; “Contractor access to classified information, up to Secret may be required under this contract. Contractor employees that require access to classified information shall have proper security clearances in place, as required, at task order award at the time of contract award.”

Which Key and Specific Personnel need to be cleared? Does the Government intend to award an initial Task Order concurrent with the award of this contract that would require Contractor personnel to have the required security clearances identified immediately upon award of the Contract?

Answer:

The Program Manager shall have a minimum Secret Clearance at the time of award. At this juncture, it is yet to be determined if the initial task order will or will not include material of a classified nature.

Question #3:

Reference: Page 12, Paragraph C.5.0 is labeled "Additional Requirements”

In several places within the RFP the Government makes reference to a Statement of Work (SOW). Request the Government confirm paragraph C.5.0 is the SOW referenced within the RFP.

Answer:

Section C titled Description/Specifications is considered the SOW referenced within the RFP for the IDIQ contract.

Paragraph C.5.0 is part of the SOW and includes additional requirements for the IDIQ contract. However, each task order envisioned under this contract will originate with its own SOW.

Question #4:

Reference: Page 16, Paragraph C.5.2.8.3, and page 21, paragraph C.5.4.6.3 states; “The Contractor shall establish and maintain a climate controlled technical documentation library to maintain Government Furnished Information (GFI) consisting of, but not limited to, selected records, drawings, technical manuals, Preventive Maintenance System (PMS), maintenance standards, Ship/Ordnance/Machinery Alterations (SHIPALT/ ORDALT/MACHALT) records, Military Standards and Specifications (MIL‐STDS and MIL‐SPECS), etc. The contractor shall receipt, catalog, insert updates, and index for easy retrieval and future use all technical data received. The Contractor shall maintain a secured area to store classified (SECRET) information.”

Can the Government define the space requirements the Contractor must provide to house the library materials specified in this paragraph?

Answer:

The space requirements that the contractor shall provide to house the library materials shall be at the discretion of the offeror so long as the space requirements meet the requirements specified in paragraph C.5.2.8.3 and C.5.4.6.3.

Typically, the Technical Library for a 378 WHEC is a compartment approximately 12' x 12' with open bookshelves capable of holding standard 3‐ring binders, standard 5 drawer file cabinets capable of holding letter size classification folders.

Each specialized shop has its own Technical Library consisting of open shelves, files and drawers as required. Ship's drawings require storage in a Flat File Cabinet (i.e. Store Logic 2CLC5 Cabinet Flat File 10 Drawer Black). Each cutter maintains its own drawings in such a storage device. However, a project may require the vendor to obtain temporary custody of such drawings to complete a project.

Question #5:

Reference: Page 69, Section L.4 Specific Instructions, Section B Sample Task under the Background information it states; “HAMILTON will be transferred to the country of Bandaria as an Excess Defense Article (EDA) in mid‐FY11 in San Diego, CA. Prior to transfer, all ammunition will be offloaded. The cutter will have 50% fuel load.”

Under the requirements of this task, would the Contractor be responsible of storing the ammunition offloaded or would the USCG have the ammunition removed prior to transfer and therefore not be included as part of the EDA transfer to Bandaria?

Answer:

All ammunition will be offloaded by the USCG. Ammunition handling and storage will not be included as part of the EDA transfer to Bandaria.

Question #6:

Reference: Page 30, SECTION F – DELIVERIES OR PERFORMANCE, Subsection F.6 SUBCONTRACTING PLAN REPORTS states; “Large Businesses are required to submit a plan for using small business, veteran‐owned small business, HUB Zone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women‐owned small business concerns as subcontractors.”

Request the Government specify the NAICS code(s) required to be qualified as small business, veteran‐owned small business, HUB Zone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women‐owned small business concerns.

Answer:

NAICS Code 336611

Question #7:

Reference: Page 69, Section L.4 Specific Instructions, Section B Sample Task, under the Background information the RFP identifies all of the work items are to be accomplished during the drydock availability and are numbered 1‐11.

The work item specifications provided in SECTION L, ATTACHMENT 2 have the same titles but different work item numbering. Request the Government confirm the work item specifications listing in Section L are the same items called out in the background section of the RFP.

Answer:

The work item numbering in Section L.4.B Sample Task is not identical to the numbering of the work item specifications listed in Section L, Attachment 2. Section L.4.B has been revised. The revision is incorporated in the change page of Amendment 0002 to the solicitation.

Question #8:

Reference: Page 69, Section L.4 Specific Instructions, Section B Sample Task, the subject of the Sample Task states;

"Planning and preparation for dry dock availability of CGC HAMILTON (WHEC‐715), 378‐foot High Endurance Cutter, subsequent to Excess Defense Article (EDA) transfer". Under the same section in the Background information it states; “For this drydocking, HAMILTON will be under command of the Bandarian Navy and is in a safe‐to‐sail condition per SOLAS Chapters II‐V (e.g., functional safety equipment, engineering/deck handling equipment/systems, navigation/radar/communications equipment)."

If the Dry Docking is post Ship Transfer and the ship is in a safe to sail condition is the Offeror to assume that all other reactivation work and related logistics have already taken place and need not be addressed under the sample task?

Answer:

For the Sample Task, the only work the Offerer is required to support are the eleven Work Items specified.

Question #9:

Reference: Page 71, Section L.4 Specific Instructions Section B Sample Task, the 1st bullet in Tab B states; “One resume per Key Personnel and Specific Personnel.” The 5th bullet under the section states “The Government will evaluate resumes only for the specified Key Personnel.” On page 8 under paragraph C.1.3.2.1 designates “Specific” personnel as the Assistant Program Manager, Logistics Program Manager, Waterfront Manager, and Senior Training Coordinator.

Is the Offeror expected to provide a 2 page resume for the Key as well as 2 page resumes for each of the four Specific Personnel for a total of 5 resumes?

Answer:

Yes. Additionally, Paragraph L.4.C, Tab B, bullet 5 has been revised. The revision is incorporated in Amendment 0002 to the solicitation.

Question #10:

Reference: Page 72, Section 2, Tab A, states; “The Offeror shall provide an organization chart for the Offeror and any major subcontractors”

Does the Government have a definition for “Major Subcontractor” or is the Offeror free to determine which subcontractors are "Major."

Answer:

Question #11:

Reference: Page 73, Volume 4, states; “This volume shall be organized into the following sections with a page limit of 50” on page 66 in the table under paragraph Proposal Preparation and Submission it lists the page limit for this volume as 20 pages.

Request the Government clarify the page limitations for this Volume.

Answer:

Question #13:

Reference: Page 4‐5, Part 1 ‐ Section B.3.a. and B.3.e.

What is the difference between “fully burdened labor rates” referred to in B.3.a. and “fully burdened Fixed‐Price rates” referred to in B.3.e. ?

Answer:

There is no difference. The terms are used interchangeably. However, for consistency purposes, B.3.e has been revised.

The revision is incorporated in the change page of Amendment 0002 to the solicitation.

Question #14:

Reference: Page 19, Section C.5.4.

What is the length of time the contractor is expected to continue with FOTS? Is there a maximum or could this continue indefinitely (i.e. through the end of the contract period)?

Answer:

FOTS capability is required throughout the contract period. Task Orders for FOTS services will be initiated upon request from foreign maritime services through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system. The specific parameters, to include the Period of Performance (PoP) of each task order in the contract period would reflect the unique requirements of each individual FMS request.

Question #15:

Reference: Page 19, Section C.5.4.

Are there any current or recently completed projects for which the awarded contractor of this RFP will be expected to carry out FOTS or perform any project completion work?

Answer:

Each Task Order issued for FOTS services will be in response to a specific FMS Letter of Request for the service. As such, there are no "legacy" projects that will transition to this contract.

Question #16:

Reference: Page 26‐27, Section E.3, the last sentence of this section states; “the contractor cannot invoice for services performed until form DHS 700‐21 is completed and received; earlier in the same paragraph it states that this form is used to indicate that all work has been completed.”

Does this mean that contractor cannot receive any partial or progress payments during a project? If contractor is allowed to bill against tasks as costs are incurred, what billing frequency is allowed?

All payment terms and conditions will be defined in each task order. “All work” refers to the work identified in the payment schedule as required for the invoiced payment. Furthermore, the solicitation includes FAR 52.232‐16 which permits progress payments as applicable.

Question #17:

Reference: Page 65 and 75, Section L.3.4 (a).

Due to the length and technical complexity of the information being requested for the submission of an offer under this RFP, we respectfully request a two‐week extension to complete our proposal and, additionally, a short extension for the question‐and‐answer period.

Answer:

Under Amendment 0001 the USCG extended the time period for Q&A’s to March 18, 2011. The proposal due date is hereby extended by two weeks, to April 7, 2011.

Question #18:

Reference: Page 5, Section B.3, page 7, Section C.1.3.1, Attachment J2, page 1 and Attachment L3.

Attachment J2 identifies a “Program Manager” and Attachment L3 lists a “Senior Program Manager.” Will the Government clarify which labor category is correct or were both categories intended to be included? If both are intended to be included, please provide the labor category description for the “Program Manager.”

Answer:

If both are intended to be included, please provide the labor category description for the “Senior Training Manager”.

Answer:

The labor category is Senior Training Coordinator. Attachment L3 and the table listed on page 5 have been revised. The revision is incorporated in the change page of Amendment 0002 to the solicitation.

Question #20:

Reference: Attachment L3, Total Labor Row.

This appears to be an inadvertent error and should be 12,900. Request the Government to clarify.

Answer:

Question #21:

Reference: Page 50, Section K.1, paragraph (a) (1) NAICS code 336411 pertains to “Aircraft Manufacturing.” Request the Government confirm that NAICS code 336611 “Ship Building and Repairing” was intended for solicitation HSCG23‐11‐R‐PMF001.

Question #22:

Reference: Page 64, Section L.3 General Instructions does not discuss any restrictions that would prevent the Offeror from documenting information in one of the Volumes of the Proposal and making reference to it in another volume.

Does the Government require each volume submitted to be written on a stand‐alone basis so that its content may be evaluated without cross‐referencing to other proposal volumes?

Answer:

With the exception of the pricing volume, as prescribed in section L.4.A.1, all other volumes may cross‐reference to other proposal volumes on an as needed basis only. Cross‐referencing should not preclude the offeror from providing sufficient details to permit a complete, accurate evaluation of each proposal volume.

Question #23:

Reference: Page 66, Section L.3, Subsection 5, paragraph (b); states “Each binder shall have a table of contents with corresponding divider tabs to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. See Section L.2 for more details.

Answer:

The correct section reference is L.4.
