74. Work Item# 150-11-007.

# 1: Paragraph 1.2.1 states “02 Level, Weather Deck, Frames 194 through 240, Port and Starboard” while paragraph 3.2.4 states “Remove existing and install new deck plating at 02 level from Frames

194 through 220, Port and Starboard.” What is the correct location?

# 2: Square footage of deck plate to be replaced is unknown. Please provide.

#3: Please modify the specification to include specified manhours and material dollars to cover unknown interferences due to the nonspecific location of work.

For Work Item# 150-11-007, the intent of paragraph 3.2.4 is to install new deck plating on the 02 level frames 194 through 220, port and starboard. Paragraph 1.2.1 is still correct.

Refer to the ship drawings for square footage.

The requirement for this work spec is to remove and install new deck plating at 02 level from

Frames 194 through 220, Port and Starboard. No change order will be provided for interference removal, scope of work is defined in the work specification.

77. Work Item# 651-90-001. Ref.2.42 (with paragraph 5.3) suggests a Kit for this Shipalt.

Please provide this 4720.

The 4720 report has been updated and reflects current GFM being provided and can be provided upon request.

78. Work Item# 168-11-002. Paragraph 3.2 states, “Remove existing and install new each door located in 1.2 , listed in1.3 including associated frames in accordance with 2.3 and 2.4 for guidance.”

On paragraph 5.1, only 5 WT doors are listed as GFM instead of 7 doors required. The 2 doors in paragraph 1.3.4 are not listed in paragraph 5.1.

Please clarify this discrepancy.

For Work Item# 168-11-002, the 2 Doors not identified in 5.1 are to be procured by the Contractor.

79. Work Item# 251-31-002. Paragraph 3.7 states, “ Remove and install new a total of 6 linear feet of T-bar, using material listed in 1.3.3 , to the lower bhd starting from deck and upward , based on report submitted in 3.3.1 and 3.4.2.1 , in the location listed in 1.2.2.”

Sheet 11 of 2.4 for guidance.”

Paragraph 1.3.2 identifies “Quantity (45), Flat Bar 127, 3 inch x 3/16 Inch, ASTM A-588 GRA.”

According to Ref 2.4, M/F 11 Flat Bar 127 is shown as a “header” (or “back up structure”) and 45

Linear Feet is excessive to replace it. The only deck edge water way bar is found on M/F 15, Detail

5A-4-7G & Section 5A-4-4F. There is no other “deck edge water way bar” on this unit, except for side shell sticking up the deck that works as a “water way bar” or “coaming.”

Please confirm that the intent of this item is to replace the deck edge side shell PL 101, and not to replace the under-deck structure flat bar 127 as specified. If confirmed, please provide the plate square footage of deck edge side shell plate to be replaced.

98. Work Item# 256-11-002. Contractor notes para 3.2.2.1 and 3.2.7.1 both state to Repair/Re-braze 40 leaking joints.

Contractor believes that Para 3.2.7.1 is a duplication of the same work to be accomplished in Para

3.2.2.1.

For Work Item 256-11-002, an ERRATA will be issued that deletes the requirements of paragraphs

3.2.7 and 3.2.7.1

99. Work Item# 150-11-020. For bidding purposes, how much of this bulkhead will be directed to be prepped under this paragraph. Spec says “as designated by the SUPERVISOR”? Should bidder assume only the area around the one square foot to be replaced under para 3.2?

For Work Item 150-11-020, the offeror can assume only one square foot to be replaced under para

3.2.

100. Work Item# 150-80-001. Ref 2.2 is only a LAR (changing material) from DDG-64. This para directs Contractor to accomplish modifications that are not included in this ref. The underlying mod dwg is NOT called out in this spec.

Please provide direction/reference for the accomplishments of the desired modifications.

As stated in the response to question #94 and #96, Work Item# 150-80-001 is cancelled and was deleted as part of ERRATA 1. Do not bid on this work specification.

101. Work Item# 150-11-002. Paragraphs 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 require replacing a total of 20 square feet of bulkhead plating and a total of 9 square feet of deck plating in locations listed in 1.2.1 and 1.2.2.

The locations listed in 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 are on the weather deck 04 level between frames 129-178 port and starboard respectively. Because the exact location of the plating to be replaced is not identified, it is assumed that interferences will be subject to an equitable adjustment.

1. Please confirm unknown interferences will be the subject of an equitable adjustment or add a reserve pool for the cost of interferences, or revise the specification to provide specific locations for the repairs.

2. Please confirm that all repairs will be concentrated in one location rather than spread out over multiple locations or provide a reserve pool for the cost of the structural repairs.

For Work Item 150-11-002, interferences will not be subject to equitable adjustment. The ship was made available for two ship checks.

Repairs will be in multiple locations.

102. Work Item# 168-80-002. The subject item installs Bridge Wing Void Manholes. Section 5 of specification states there is no GFM.

Reference 2.2 (514-8504769 Rev A) identifies 6ea - 6” Butterfly valves for DDG 54-64 & 66-78.

However, sheet 3 contains a local note that states, “These valves are “REPLACE-AS-FAIL.”

This note renders replacement of the valves to be un-biddable because the offeror doesn’t have insight into which valves have or will ultimately fail.

For estimating purposes, please identify which valves are required to be replaced.

The 4720 report has been updated and reflects current GFM being provided.

105. Work Item# 514-80-001. Paragraph 3.1 states “Accomplish removals, modifications and

Reference 2.2 (514-8504769 Rev A) identifies 6 ea - 6” Butterfly valves for DDG 54-64 & 66-78.

Paragraph 5.3 of the work item calls out 1 kit of GFM listed in reference 2.5 (4720-DDG74-FY16).

The 4720 (reference 2.5), for this shipalt states, “NO DRAWINGS FOUND FOR DDG 60 ALT SA

76721 00 Paul Brown (619) 437-2371.”

Contractor request the identification of the GFM called out as a Kit referencing 2.5 and clarification on whether the drawings GFM identification is correct.

Please provide information.

107. Offeror notes that several ship alteration drawings reference material as GFM in the SCE column of the list of materials. This information either doesn’t match paragraph 5.1 of the work item and/or the 4720 report, and/or the 4720 report is blank for the shipalt containing no information.

Please confirm that where ship alteration drawings list GFM in the SCE column, that the material is in fact being provided as GFM regardless of omissions or discrepancies in paragraph 5.1 or the 4720 report.

108. Attachment J-3 lists the Crew Move-aboard Milestone as “TBD.”

Please provide.

A future RFP amendment will revise Attachment J-3.

109. RESRVED
