Will the Government remove these tasks from the PMIC prior to the first AEPD 2? Is it the Government's intent for contractors to omit these tasks from AEPD 2 bids?

and

A1-P8AAA-PMIC-000

Is it the Government's intent to omit these tasks from the AEPD, even though they would be best performed during AEPD due to access to the fuel tanks? Should contractors include these tasks in the AEPD 1 and AEPD 2?"

and

A1-P8AAA-PMIC-000

Is it the Government's intent for the landing gear removal and replacement to be part of the contractor’s workscope for AEPD 2?

Is it the Government's intent for the landing gear overhaul to be part of the contractors' workscope for AEPD 2? "

and

A1-P8AAA-PMIC-000"

Is it the Government's intent to leave CLIN X012 off of Attachment L-8 but have it included on Attachment L-5 and Section B?"

CLIN X012 is now included in Attachment L-8.

Att_L-8_Prime_Coontractor_Cost_Summary_TandM

Is it the Government's intent that these items be doubled in the Summary tab?"

However, Section L., Part B, 5.0.e on pg., 275 states, ""Provide a separately bound hard-copy Model Contract and a digital version on a separate disk from the proposal volumes in both PDF and MS file formats.""

Will the Government please clarify the number of hard and soft copies required for submission of The Model Contract?"

Does the Government intend for contractors to insert SLINs for the price of each TD, or will the TD costs roll up to the CLINs 0012, 0013, 1012, 1013, 2012, 2013, 3012, 3013, 4012, 4013, 5012, 5013, 5034, 5035, 6012, 6013, 6034, or 6035, respectively, and each TD price should only be reflected in Att_L9? Pricing each TD as a SLIN will add 29 SLINs per CLIN for the Engine TDs and 61 SLINs per CLIN for the Airframe TDs. "

and Att_L-9_Prime_Contractor_Tech_Directives_FFP"

Would the Government consider separately pricing induction and delivery events? " SOW and Section L have been revised to clarify this. Technical Directive SLINs (CLINs X013 and X035) that are Concurrent with AEPD should have the Induction and Delivery costs included in the AEPD events (CLINs X002, X003, X007, X008, and X030). Technical Directive SLINS that are Drop-In will have the associated Induction and Delivery costs covered under CLINs X020, X021, or X033 as appropriate to the aircraft. Technical Directive SLINs that are In-Field Shall have no Induction or Delivery costs associated with them.

L-9 TD pricing

Will the Government please clarify the following:

1. Is the contractor's responsibility limited to items the contractor can test on the incoming configuration?

2. Will the Gov't aircrew perform operational checks prior to AEPD induction?

3. Will these pre-induction checks be performed at the contractor's facility or at a Gov't facility prior to the ferry flight?

4. Will the contractor be able to participate in the pre-induction operational checks? and

5. Will the same test procedure be used pre-induction and before the FCF by the Gov't aircrew?"

1) There is no requirement for the contractor to test incoming configurations. The USG will perform an ASW preflight to verify system operation and the contractor may witness the event.

2) Yes.

3) ASW preflight can be performed at either facility.

4) The contractor may witness the ASW preflight.

5) Yes the same ASW preflight will be performed prior to the FCF."

SOW 8.18

For example, if an effort/CLIN is comprised of 50% hands on labor ($10/hr.), 25% program management ($20/hr.) and 25% planning ($12/hr.); should the “Wrap Rate” be $13/hr. (weighted average of all rates) or $26/hr. (only hands on labor hours are “billable”).

(a) Any supplies and services to be furnished under this contract shall be ordered by issuance of delivery orders or task orders by the individuals or activities designated in the contract schedule. Such orders may be issued from [________] through [________][insert dates].

(b) All delivery orders or task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of conflict between a delivery order or task order and this contract, the contract shall control.

However, X062, X075, & X089 are listed as T&M CLINS under Para 3.5.5 Life Limited Parts (LLP Replacement).

Since the purchase of the LLP have moved to T&M shouldn’t these CLINs be removed from this paragraph?

Same question under the solicitation section L.

SOW paragraph 3.5.3 have been corrected.

Section L Paragraph 4.2.1, Section 3 (FFP CLINs) have also been corrected.

Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) X062, X075 and X090 have been removed from the FFP paragraph.

The Offeror's question mis-stated the CLIN X089. It should've stated CLIN X090.

Attachment 1 part B, Para 3.5.3 Core Performance Restoration (with or without Life Limited Parts Replacement – FFP CLINS. Solicitation (N0019-15-R-2004) Section L, Para 4.2.1, Section 3 Firm Fixed Price CLINS, subparagraph a. contract prices for FFP CLINS – FFP Engine CLINS

For example if an engine requires a core performance restoration and replacement of the Fan Disk and Booster Spool as LLP, will the Navy exercise the following FFP CLINS, X080 Engine Induction, X060 Core Performance Restoration, & CLIN C064 Fan & Booster Refurbishment and the Replacement LLP would be charged T&M Under CLIN X062. Is our interpretation correct?

If so, should the contractor charge engine disassembly/assembly (separation and reattachment of the major engine modules), engine test cell, and preservation to be covered under CLIN X 060?

Under this scenario only the disassembly/repair/reassembly of a specific module would be covered under the module refurbishment. If the Navy wants the option to bring an engine in for a single module (such as CLIN X066 HPC Stator Module refurbishment) where is the contractor to price engine disassembly/assembly, test, preservation & delivery? If those costs were added to each module, there would be times when the navy was paying for the effort under multiple CLINS (example if X065 HPC Rotor, X066 – HPC stator).

If the Navy wants flexibility to order module refurbishment without a core restore, will the navy consider adding an “Engine restoration” (major engine disassembly/assembly, test, preservation & delivery) to the Engine induction CLIN?

The work scope strategy for engine repairs is to begin with a core restoration (CLIN X060) and adjust the work scope using additional module specific CLINs.

The cost of disassembling, repairing, and assembling a specific module should be included in the proposed price for that specific module refurbishment CLIN.

There would be rare exceptions when an engine would be brought in for a repair of only one or two modules, likely a component failure or mishap. In that event, the repair of a few specific modules would be covered under the Special Test and Engineering Investigation (EI) Workscope CLIN (X083) Attachment 1 part B, Para 3.5.3 Core Performance Restoration (with or without Life Limited Parts Replacement)

Our interpretation is the Navy expects the replacement cost for any of the parts listed in the scrap rate projects would be part of the FFP for restoration of the appropriate module. Since the fleet is fairly new, the sample size for determining the referenced scrap rates must be fairly small.

Would the Navy consider revising their position and make refurbishment of the material to be covered as part of the FFP, but replacement of any parts beyond repair (aka scrapped) be covered as part of over & above under CLIN X073, X077, X100.

There appears to be a math error on the L-7 Attachment in how the TD values are calculated. As an example if the value for the Base year TDs in L-9 that were to be concurrent to AEPD (see summary tab, cells G15 to G63) is $100,000 the contractor would place that value in Att L-7 for CLIN X013 Base year. Based on the formulas, the value in L-7 would be multiplied by the quantity identified in the summary sheet (see summary tab Cell J8) which is 385 – this would make the value for Base year of X013 = $38,500,000 which significantly overstates the value of TDs.

What is considered sensitive/controlled flight essential equipment? Will this be classified, and do we need to provide storage for that equipment, or will the owning Org return it to home station?

The ARC-210 and the APX-123 are considered sensitive/controlled flight essential equipment. These are required for the flight to the contractor’s facility. The Government/owning organization will remove these two components and return them to the home station.

The SOW has been updated to define the classified storage requirements.

Requirements (dimensions, weights, or other info) for storing classified materials would be helpful in establishing container/room requirements.

Govt estimate is a room 8X10 with the appropriate containers to store up to a classification of Secret.

Will the Government ship directly to where it is requested, and not just to the Prime Contractor’s address?

If it is the Govt responsibility for shipping material, the Govt will ship to the location the material is required in CONUS.

Does the Contractor need to comply with the Flight Operations Procedures in Chapter 4 since the Navy will be performing all flying operations of the aircraft? Will complying with the Ground Operating Procedures in Chapter 5 be sufficient?

The Contractor shall comply with the Flight Operations Procedures, however, the contractor may request waivers from the GFR in accordance with NAVAIRINST 3710.1
