CONTRACTOR QUESTION

SUBJECT:

Performance specification: 3.3.1.4.6 Provide spare rail segment for MIT

SPECIFIC QUESTION:

Paragraph 3.3.1.4 states that “The contractor shall deliver and install spare ten (10) feet track sections to increase the track length of the MIT track IAW the DO. “

Please clarify the requirement. Is the intent that a DO for a 200 foot long MIT should be delivered and installed with 210 feet of rail which includes the spare 10 feet of track? Or should 200 feet of track be installed and a 10 feet segment be delivered only complete with all footers, hardware, railing, etc., per the specification, to form a complete and usable ten (10) feet section of track if needed to repair the installed track?

Would the Government consider changing the requirement to delete the word install to make it clear that the spare segment is delivered but not installed.

REFERENCE:

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

In a previous response the Government stated that the MIT comes with 200' of track with 10' extensions. This was an error; the correct track response is as follows:

50 feet of track comes with the MIT CLINs. The additional track spare CLIN will be used to increase the track length and also installed at that time of installation. For example, when a 60 ft track is required, 1 MIT would be ordered with 1 Spare track CLIN.
