D.

The responses to the following Request for Clarifications are as follows:

QUESTION NO. 1:

SF-1449, Block #8, Standard Form 1449, block #8 of this Request for Proposal shows an offer due date of 04/28/11 2PM; pre-solicitation dated 3/25/11 as well as solicitation dated 3/31/11 on www.fbo.gov is showing response due date of 4/29/11. Which is the correct date?

ANSWER:

Offerors are advised that the due date to submit proposal for this requirement is 29 April 2011 at 2:00 P.M., Pacific Standard Time.

QUESTION NO. 2:

D-Item-01, Temporary Services/Provide, paragraph 3.3.8; sub-paragraph 3.3.8 under Table 1 of D-01 mentions heavy lift equipment usage 7 days/or 40 hours. Contractor computation is 7 days x 8 hours = 56 man-hours. Please specify what is the correct heavy lift equipment usage requirement. Is it 56 man-hours or 40 man-hours?

ANSWER: This temporary service is for all lifts not included anywhere else in the contract for the convenience of the cutter. Since the contractor is already on site it helps the cutter to be able to have easy access to heavy lift equipment. The cutter will work with the contractor to ensure an easy and smooth working relationship and will usually request the use of the equipment at least 24 hours in advance. Since most of the Coast guard lifts are simple they are done around the contractor’s schedule, instead of having a full 8 hour work day of lifts. This is why only 40 hours is cited. Therefore this item is requesting the use of heavy lift equipment for up to 7 separate days or 40 hours of equipment usage time, whichever one comes first.

QUESTION NO. 3:

D-Item-05, M/E Lifting & Realignment Crankline Repairs, paragraph 3.1.2; paragraph 3.1.2 states “The contractor shall provide the services of two technical representatives, a technical representative to oversee engine alignment and repairs…etc.” Can the Government specify by company’s name(s) the two technical representatives needed to oversee engine alignment and repairs? Further reading of this particular work item only identifies Fairbanks Morse Company; if so the second technical representative is unknown or unclear.

ANSWER:

Revision 1 of the specification will clarify this matter. Revision 1 is incorporated and is available as an attachment to the amendment. In summary. there are 3 main technical representatives referred to for this requirement: a Fairbanks Morse (FME) technical representative, alignment technical representative, and Coast Guard technical representative. The key milestones during the contract performance period is when the FME and alignment technical representatives are needed as indicated in the specification and the CG technical representative should be present for the majority of the contract period.

NOTE: If the awarded Contractor has the capability to do an alignment they can also be the technical representative. However, if the contractor does not have the capability they must provide a subcontractor as the technical representative and still meet the requirements of the specification. As stated on page 34 and 44 of the specification, the specific requirements for the engine alignment and laser alignment tool are outline.

QUESTION NO. 4: D-01, Temporary Service Provide, Table 1, paragraph 3.3.8

Heavy Lift Equipment 7 days/or 40 hours, please define this request, is this for a forklift or crane? What capacity? Duration/frequency 7 days in a row or 40 separate 1 hour lifts, every other day?

ANSWER: See response to Question #2 above. Additional guidance is given in the SFLC Standard Spec paragraph 3.3.8. Also, as further clarification the Coast Guard primarily would like a crane that is able to make lifts in and out of the turbine plenum chamber. The main convenience of this temporary service is to avoid the administrative burden of extra condition found reports.

QUESTION NO. 5: Work Item D-03, No. 1 Main Diesel Engines Lube Oil Coolers, Clean & inspect for Debris, paragraph 3.3.1 makes reference to MDE Flushing, is that covered by a separate contract?

ANSWER: MDE flushing as referred to in D-03 paragraph 3.3.1 has been changed to wiping with lint free rags. The Coast Guard may decide to contract out a separate full hot oil flush it it is determined it is needed at a later time.

QUESTION No. 6: Work item D-04, No. 1 Main Engine Repairs, paragraph 3.8.1 makes reference to “Main Diesel Engine Lube Oil Flush” as included in this package, however, no such item is included?

ANSWER: As stated above answer to Question #5, the flushing requirement was removed and only a cleaning with lint free rags is required after the machining work is done.

QUESTION No. 7: Work Item D-04, No. 1 Main Engine Repairs, paragraph 3.3.2 states “A copy of the Fairbanks Morse Technical Representative’s damage assessment and repair recommendations is included at the end of this specification item”. This is not included, please provide.

ANSWER: These documents are incorporated to this amendment as an attachment.

E.

All other terms and conditions cited on the solicitation remain unchanged.
