992-11-004, the requirement is to move up to 250 PAUL HAMILTON crew members in the morning from the berthing facility to the shipyard and 250 PAUL HAMILTON crew members in the afternoon from the shipyard to the berthing facility; 250 is the maximum number of PAUL

HAMILTON crew members that will need transportation each morning and afternoon.

23. The solicitation includes Section B Option CLINs 0004 - 0011. The solicitation also provides

Attachments J-1 (PH EDSRA Specifications) and J-4 (Pricing Spreadsheet).

Review of the Work Items depicted in Attachments J-1 and J-4 does not provide bidder an understanding of which Work Items are associated with each individual Option CLINs 0004 -

0011.

It appears that the List of Work Items depicted in Attachment J-1and J-4 incorrectly labels some

Work Items as "OPTION ITEM" and some Work Items as "Base Items - CLIN 0001".

To ensure accurate Section B CLIN pricing, request updated Attachment J-1 and Attachment J-4 to depict whether the Work Item is an "OPTION" and to depict which Option CLIN each

OPTION Work Item should be priced under.

Bidder requests that Attachment J-4 be reorganized to depict the List of Work Items by Section B

CLIN to ensure accurate CLIN pricing integrity.

A revised J-4 (Pricing Spreadsheet) will be provided in a future amendment.
