a. The government has a requirement for aeronautical/aircraft welder in accordance with PWS 12.8 and Addendum 1A.

e. FRC performs this work at Key West

f. This question is a repeat of question "d.". The answer is the same as "d."

The contractor is responsible for the repair of peculiar support equipment and preoperational maintenance checks and test on all the support equipment.

h. The PWS requires the contractor to maintenance, check and test aircraft installed electronic communication, navigation and surveillance system equipment Yuma has the equipment to perform off aircraft I-level support.

a. Please clarify if the Government provided facilities at Yuma are sufficient for the contractor to perform all RFP/PWS requirements.

b. If the Government provided facilities are inadequate, then it seems appropriate for the Government to make available site leasing information (facility sizes and lease costs) as common information to all bidders to preclude an unfair advantage to the incumbent.

a./b. It is up to the offeror to determine how to fulfill the government requirements. On the current contract, additional trailers have been leased by the contractor to perform the requirements. However, as indicated in the PWS Addendum 1B "The Government will not provide the current five (5) 14X60 foot trailers used for shop space that are adjacent to Hangar 146".

The offeror should determine its facility requirements to perform the tasking in the PWS, and determine how to secure these facilities. The Offeror should contact the local Marine Corps/Naval Facilities Command for lease availability.
