AMEND.

REQD?

28-May-21 1.) Can you confirm if the contract requires both Stevedoring and T & C requirements?

2-Jun-21

The Contract is for Tally and Checking services only. Actual loading/unloading of vessels, rail and trucks will be done by the stevedore or longshormen; however, because of the close proximity of some stevedoring functions, some requirements mimic those functions. Table 1 (Cargo Handling (Services) Operations) in section

4.6, of the PWS is merely a table defining activities associated to port operations.

The SOR is divided into different schedules for loading and unloading vessel, railcars and trucks, and termial services associated to port operations.

NO

2.) Attachment 1 PWS Page 30, Section 5.4.6 Tally and checking in North

German Ports indicates the contract will be required to perform documentation services in other German ports (Emden, Hamburg, Rostock).

The SOR is for the Port of Bremerhaven. Please advise if our rates and services are to be valid at other port and the services at the out-ports will be reimbursed based on the rates provided for the Port of Bremerhaven.

11-Jun-21

This requirement has been in previous contracts and remains unchanged. The Port of Bremerhaven is the primary port (base) of operations. The Ports of Emden, Hamburg, and Rostock will be considered alternate locations in which the contractor shall stand ready to support; however, pricing shall be for and based on the cost at Bremerhaven.

NO

3.) Attachment 1, PWS, Page 33, Section 4.1.2 Union Agreements and Port

Tariffs. Does the contractor need to submit copes of any union agreements and port tariffs in its proposal or are these documents only required upon contract award?

11-Jun-21

These documents are required at award and at any time when information is changed, updated, or affects the United States Government’s relationship with the port or the contractor.

NO

4.) Amendment 0001, Updated PWS. It appears that the updated PWS was not posted to Sam.gov. The file name is Attachment 1, but the data is an

SF30

11-Jun-21 This was an error in posting. The correct document, the updated PWS dated 6-

1-21, has since been uploaded to SAM.gov and the issue resolved.

NO

5.) Line item #221 is not included in the total of 1D Dispostion Only. The

Unit Price cell for Line Items #s 407 through 410 are password protected and we cannot enter pricing for those services. Typically, the Out-of-

Pocket Pool unit price is dictated by the Government. Please confirm this should be priced.

16-Jun-21

Line 221 of SOR has been fixed. Line Item

407-410 had a caculation error and has been fixed. The OOP amount, as discussed in the PWS section 4, is pre-populated by the Government and shall not be changed by the contractor.

YES
