Amendment 00001

Continuation page 2 of 3 Question 1: Does the Buy American Act apply to this solicitation?

Answer: No

Question 2: Are Tapper, Counterweights and Swing Bolts Government Furnished Equipment (GFE)?

Answer: Tappers & swing bolts are GFE; counterweights would be if we were to replace one.

Question 3: How long does it take to unload/load a truck?

Answer: Loading and unloading can take between 2 – 4 hours but typically 2 hours.

Deliveries and Pick-ups are normally schedule in advance to ensure enough time is allotted.

Question 4: How clean will the Buoys be upon receipt – Marine life, bird droppings, etc?

Answer: Buoys will be pressure washed & scraped to remove marine growth, this includes the whistle tube you may see small patches of shells.

Question 5: Are the option years mandatory; can the contractor opt not to exercise an option year?

Answer: No, options are solely at the discretion of the Government, provided the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend.

Question 6: Where are the specific instruction for Volume II Pricing?

Answer: Page 83 and 84, no page limits, original plus one with cover sheet clearly marked Volume II Question 7: After reviewing the link with the drawings for the buoys, I realized that two drawings were missing. They are as follows:

121151 REV E

9X35 LR BOUY ASSEMBLY

121125 REV F

1992 TYPE 6X20 LR BOUY

Please respond with whether or not we are supposed to go off of another drawing, and if so, which one? If not, when and where will these two drawings be available?

Answer: 121151 Rev E 9x35LWR buoy is now showing as Rev F which will still work for purpose of this contract. The second number identified above is incorrect (not incorrect in the solicitation) and should be 121152 and is there.

Question 8: Transportation Line Items: Should these be considered as round trip or one way only?

Answer: One way only; could be either a pick-up or drop-off and will be indentified in the task order.

Amendment 00001

Answer: No

Answer: A. The Contractor is required to comply with all Federal, State and Local laws and regulations with regards to required testing methods and allowable levels for lead.

B. If lead is found, the Contractor shall immediately notify the COR or Contracting Officer and stop all work on that buoy until further direction is received.

Question 12: Will the Coast Guard make available to the Contractor design drawings necessary to fabricate buoy handling devices to duplicate what is used by the USCG?

Answer: There are no drawings for buoy handling devices, “dollies" but CG would provide all dimensions and photos needed so that one could be fabricated.
