1. Attachment 11: ELIN Pricing Chart

a. CLIN 1001 refers to a single OSR Base Boat with options A001 OSR BP Configuration Accessories and A002 OSR UB Configuration Accessories. Since the Base boats are actually two completely separate styles of boats, would it not be better to have a Base Boat for the BP and a Base Boat for the UB?

Answer: Attachment 11 will be updated to provide separate CLINs for OSR BP Base Boat & OSR UB Base boat.

2. Attachment 12: Proposed Delivery Schedule Form

a. This is a similar question to above. Since these two boats are different in size and scope, the build schedule will be different for each configuration. For example, the 25' UB will be quicker to build than the 30' BP. We would also assume that boats 1 and 2 would be a 25 UB and a 30 BP so that PDIT's could be held one time for each delivery order. Does the government want the builder to specify the order and mixture that the boats would be delivered? Should the builder specify in the schedule which model they are quoting for Notional Delivery Schedule?

Answer: Attachment 12 has been updated.

3. Specification, Section 236 Outboard Engines

a. 2015 Honda model numbers have been updated and are now BF115D1XA and BF115D1XCA; BF150A2XA and BF150A2XCA

b. 2015 Yamaha model numbers have been updated and are now F115XB and LF115XB; F150XB and LF150XB (F115 XB's are being shipped now and F150 XB's will start shipping mid-March)

c. Request specification be changed to match current year model numbers.

Answer: Concur. Attachment 1 (Specification) has been updated to Revision A, with sections 236-1a-UB, 236-1d-UB, 236-1e-BP and 236-1h-BP revised to reflect updated part numbers listed above.

4. Section 422-2 and 422-3, discuss the space/weight/power/foundation reservation to replace the installed Garmin with a Future installed Furuno. The question we have is related to the circuit breaker distribution panel. Do you want us to provide a separate breaker for the Furuno product or reserve for replacement of the Garmin breaker? If we are replacing, do you want the associate breaker as part of the spares package?

Answer: The electrical distribution system should include additional circuit breakers installed and reserved to power the specified future navigation system.

5. Section 078-1 Structural Material/Aluminum

a. This section calls for Non-structural components such as handrails, small component brackets and wire ways may include extruded 6061 material. Request that extruded 6063 material be allowed in addition to the extruded 6061 for this purpose.

Answer: No; requirement is as stated in the Specification.

6. Section 079-3 Flotation Foam

a. If block flotation foam is used and compliant with ABYC H-8.11 installation, will the foam be required to be removable at a future date?

Answer: Yes.

7. Section 092 Testing

a. Items d, f and h, call for visually inspecting the welds after overload test has been performed. Does this require an NDT dye-penetrant test or just visual inspection of the weld that no deformation has occurred?

Answer: Section 092-1 (d) [for Boat and Trailer Tiedown Fittings] – No change to Specification, only visual inspection of welds is required. Sections 092-1 (f) [for Forward and Aft Tow Provisions] and 092-1 (h) [for Hoisting Fittings] – a dye penetrant test (PT) or Radiographic Test (RT) is required for all stressed welds after overload tests. Attachment 1 (Specification) has been updated to Revision A, with Sections 092-1 (f) and (h) revised to require PT or RT of all stressed welds after overload tests.

8. Section 611-1-UB and BP Deck Cargo Tiedowns

a. This section calls for tiedowns to be located on the interior gunwale face. We just want to confirm that there is no requirement for deck tiedowns to be installed on the deck itself?

Answer: Tie downs are not required on the deck.

9. Section 630-2 Topside Finish

a. Will mill finish side plate material be acceptable if there are no/or minimal blemishes from the fabrication process?

Answer: No; requirement is as stated in the Specification.

b. We want to confirm that this is for exterior only to include side plate, transom, outboard motor bracket only. Interior surfaces are to be mill finish.

Answer: Requirement is as stated in the Specification.

10. Solicitation, Section L, Item 2 Feasibility and Practicability of the Proposed Design:

a. This section calls for drawings to be submitted in PDF format. These have generally been submitted in PDF and .DWG formats in the past. We just want to verify that you don't want the .DWG drawing with Volume 1.

Answer: Drawings are only required in PDF format for the solicitation response.
