QUESTION AND ANSWERS.

QUESTION 1: When will the HPU components be bought?

ANSWER 1: This is partially described in Specification P-573-0518, Section 3.5, Paragraph 6, page 34. The hydraulic system will be purchased and installed either prior to or concurrent with the purchase and installation of the first AFT crane. Just prior to the installation of this hydraulic system, the existing central hydraulic system will be removed. Therefore, even though this will be installed along with the AFT crane, this hydraulic system will be required to support the exiting HAGGLUND crane systems and the Rucker Control System Anchor Windlasses. This hydraulic system will then support the FWD crane and second AFT crane upon their respective installations.

QUESTION 2: When will the forward and Second Aft crane be bought?

ANSWER 2: Refer to the estimated quantities listed in Schedule can be bought anytime during the five year period. See the bid factors addressed on page 88 of the solicitation.

QUESTION 3: Will we be able to realize any economies of scale?

ANSWER 3: The USCG can not identify at this time funding for new cranes for complete shipset(s).

QUESTION 4: Sea State 5 environment…Please confirm this is required.

ANSWER 4: Specification P-573-0518 reflects the updated requirement to be Sea

State 3 for normal operations.
