PROSPECTIVE VENDOR'S QUESTION DATE OF REPLY GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE AMEND RFP?
17 30-Apr-24
The SOR does not have a rate schedule for Port Staging per SQMT. Additionally, depending on the amount of cargo incoming/outgoing the pricing fluctuates drastically on the size of the lots being used from 10,000 sqmt vs 50,000 sqmt.
So what SQMT is the USG requesting to use for the pricing proposal?
21-May-24 Please see revised Attachment 2 - Schedule of Rates_APD_2024.05.21, which contains a line item for port staging.
Yes
18 30-Apr-24 Can we quote pricing per port or do we have to quote one rate per line to cover any Danish port.
21-May-24
Please see revised Attachment 2 - Schedule of Rates_APD_2024.05.21, which contains three pricing tabs. A pricing tab is now available for Esbjerg, Aarhus, and "All Other Ports". The "All Other Ports" pricing tab encompasses all Danish ports outside of Esbjerg and Aarhus.

20 30-Apr-24 Could Contractors have an extension to May 22nd 21-May-24 TCAQ is extending the Request for Proposal (RFP) due date to 21 June 2024 at 8:00 A.M. CST.
Yes
21 1-May-24
Upon review of DFARS clause 252.247-7007, Liability & Insurance, we believe the minimum per event coverage of $300k to be insufficient based on the nature of material typically moved during a S&RTS RORO/LOLO operation. Does the USG have a recommended liability coverage that more closely aligns with the value of cargo being moved during such operations? Or can the USG provide a high-end value of the most expensive cargo typically moved during these operations that industry can benchmark against?
21-May-24 The most expensive piece of equipment that could be moved during an operation would be aircraft, which is roughly $30M.
No
