QUESTIONS/RESPONSES

RFP# HSCG84-15-R-1SA100

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER, WEATHER OBSERVATION AND

AUGMENTATION SERVICES

@ USCG AIR STATION CAPE COD, MA AND

AIR STATION ELIZABETH CITY, NC

Date: 14 May 2015

1. Question: With regards to the hours of operation at ECNC in the new solicitation, it shows daily from 0700-2200. As you are aware the Coast Guard wants to be operational from 0700-200 and in order to do so the contractor needs 15 minutes prior to that time to open the tower and 15 minutes after close to shut down the facility. It has been my experience that contractors will only propose the hours listed and the CG will be shorted 30 minutes per day. I am recommending the hours of operation for ECNC be revised to read 06:45 to 22:15 thus saving the possibility of fighting this issue after award.

Response: The Hours of Operation at the Air Station Elizabeth City (ASEC) location remain from 0700 hours through 2200 hours IAW Paragraph 5.1. There will be no changes made to the operation hours.

2. Question: Does the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under solicitation number HSCG8415R1SA100 contain requirements similar to a current contract?

If possible, please provide the current contract number. Or, is this a new requirement for the government?

Response: This is not a new performing requirement for the government;

however, it is the responsibility of a contractor to submit an offer based on the requirements set forth in Solicitation Number HSCG84-15-R-1SA100, for Air Traffic Control Tower, Weather Observation and Augmentation Services at USCG Air Station Cape Cod, MA and Air Station Elizabeth City, NC.
