5. Question: Please clarify the meaning of the work “draft” as used in this note on the front page of the specifications. The contractor believes that at the point in time referenced by the government in this note, the Delivery Order would be out of the draft mode and be the actual delivery order to bid upon.

9. Question: For CLIN’s 21 & 22, Page 18 of J-1 states to “provide Air Conditioning chiller units and Air Conditioning control panels in accordance with [Work Item 514-80-001].” Are these two CLIN’s procurement of materials only? This is not for the entire Work Item 514-80-01, correct?

10. Question: There is no definitive quantity for contractor to estimate, can the government provide a linear foot of framing or other quantitative description for bidding purposes or will the contractor be compensated via contract modification when the proposed repair procedures are provided via

CFR?

Answer: There is no definitive quantity for the contractor to estimate because once awarded each winning contractor will have the opportunity to bid on individual boat work packages. For the purposes of this evaluation we are asking each contractor to provide a composite labor rate only.
