EDITION UNUSABLE Prescribed by GSA, FAR (48 CFR) 53.243

Solicitation Number HSCG40-16-R-60023

Amendment Number A00005

14A. This Amendment is issued to answer the following questions submitted in response to this Solicitation.

QUESTION: SOW Paragraph 3.2.3.4 describes the requirements for preparing the Work Specifications and states “All tasking required to be performed by the installing activity [ostensibly the Coast Guard Yard] shall be captured in the specification.” Paragraph 3.2.3.4.3 describes the requirements for Dock and Sea Trials that the

Contractor must capture in the work specification. It defines three types of trials:

* 3.2.3.4.3.1.2 – Dock Trial

* 3.2.3.4.3.1.3 – Sea Trial

* 3.2.3.4.3.1.4 – Open Water and Cavitation Tests for the propeller design

Propeller open water and cavitation tests are conducted in tanks using model propellers. They are not commonly conducted due to cost and because propeller design has advanced significantly in recent years.

However, if done, they would occur before the propeller is manufactured to confirm its hydrodynamic performance, and would not be done by an installing activity. There is no requirement for these tests in the

Technical Specification Section 245 for the propeller, including in the section for the factory acceptance testing, where it would be expected to be cited if intended to be conducted by the Contractor. Please clarify the

Contractor’s responsibility with regard to these tests.

ANSWER: Offerors shall include in the proposal the propeller verification test using manufacturer's commercial standards to prove the hydrodynamic performance. This is only required if the submitter is opting to replace the propeller as part of the package.

14B. The due date for receipt of quotations remains as 2:00 PM EST on December 15, 2015.

14C. Offeror’s are required to sign and return one copy of the Amendment with their quotation. Failure to return a signed copy may render the quotation unacceptable and the quotation may be eliminated from further consideration.
