Question 001: Section C.1.1.9.1 and Section L.3.5.1.6.1.2.1 list different requirements for key personnel.

Answer 001: The key personnel requirements listed in Section L.3.5.1.6.1.2.1 are correct and Section C.1.1.9.1 has been updated in paragraph 2 below to reflect the correct requirements.

Question 002: C1.1.10.2 appears to be missing paragraph (d). Please clarify.

Answer 002: C.1.1.10.2 contained a typographical error and paragraph (e) is hereby corrected in paragraph 2 below to read paragraph (d).

Question 003: Could the Government please confirm that key event 1.12 is a duplication of key event 1.3?

Answer 003: Yes, key events 1.3 and 1.12 are duplicates. Table C-2 has been updated in paragraph 2 below to reserve key event 1.12.

Question 004: It is recommend that the Government utilize a standardized progress criteria for both ACU 4 and ACU 5 SLEP availabilities.

Answer 004: Currently both coasts are progressing craft accurately utilizing different criteria and the Government sees no benefit to changing the criteria stated in the subject solicitation. No change in the solicitation is made as a result of this answer.

Question 005: Could the Government please confirm when the infrared survey is to be completed?

Answer 005: IR Survery will be conducted prior to INSURV preparations. Section C.1.2.12.1 has been updated in paragraph 2 below to reflect this change.

Question 006: C.16 appears to be missing Item 0010. Please clarify.

Answer 007: The Government concurs with the recommendation. ACU-5 two week downtime starting at Christmas would potentially interfere with Fuel On Load. Table F-1 has been updated in paragraph 2 below to reflect the correct induction and delivery dates for LCAC 76.

Question 008: Table F-2 has a craft delivery date of 31 August 2018 for LCAC 85. Based on the noted induction date of 7 June 2016, should the craft delivery date be 1 September 2017?
