REVISED SUMMARY OF CHANGES

On 22 March 2017, Amendment 0003 posted to FBO without the solicitation amendment attached. The Government created a second FBO posting on the same day with the solicitation amendment attached which was automatically numbered by FBO as Amendment 0004. The following amendment is released by the Governmnt as Amendment 0005 to ensure FBO and the Governemnt’s internal database are not out of sequence.

The purposes of this amendment to solicitation N00024-17-R-2462 are to:

a) Respond to questions submitted by potential Offerors;

b) Revise SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

c) Revise SECTION J - LIST OF DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS; and,

d) Revise SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS CONDITIONS AND NOTICE TO BIDDERS.

1. The following questions were submitted by potential Offerors. The Government’s response follows each question. Questions and Answers 031 through 035 are provided in this Amendment 0005. Questions and Answers 001 through 030 were provided in previous amendments.

Question 031: Can the Government provide Offerors with the additional technical information identified in Attachment J-3, LCU 1700 Class C4N Turnkey Approach, and Attachment J-5, 1700 Class Government Furnished Information?

Answer 031: Yes. Attachment J-3, LCU 1700 Class C4N Turnkey Approach, was reviewed and found to contain information which was redundant with information stated in Attachment J-5, 1700 Class Government Furnished Information. Furthermore, information in Specification 405b and 420b were in conflict with Attachments J-3 and J-5., Therefore, change pages to Attachment J-1A, Specifications 405b and 420b, Attachments “A” and “B” respectivley will be provided via the IDE. Additionally, Attachment J-3, LCU 1700 Class C4N Turnkey Approach is revised as stated in paragraph 2. below and will be provided as Attachment “C” to this amendment via the IDE. Additionally, Attachment J-5, 1700 Class Government Furnished Information, is revised as stated in paragraph 2. below and will provided as Attachment “D” to this amendment via the IDE. All information/documents listed in Attachment J-5 will be posted to the IDE under a folder entitled “J-5 GFI Documents” no later than close of business on the date of this amendment release.

Question 032: Is there a commercial specification for the lashing fittings identified in Attachment J-1A, Specification 611b, Vehicle Lasing and Sockets?

Answer 032: Yes. Attachment “E” to this amendment, change pages to Attachment J-1A, Specification 611b, Vehicle Lasing and Sockets, will be provided via the IDE to replace the NAVSEA standard drawing numbers with commercial item model numbers. As a result, an updated Attachment J-1C, LCU 1700 Class Commercial Off The Shelf Items List, will be provided as Attachment “F” to this amendment via the IDE.

Question 033: Section L.3.2.1 of the solicitation shows a table of page limitations for each proposal volume. Cells that are left blank count toward the page limit. For Volume I Technical Proposal, those that have an (*) shall not be included in the page limit. There are also cells that have an “Unlimited” page limit. Is there a difference between cells marked with an (*) and cells marked “Unlimited?”

Answer 033: No. There is not a difference between cells marked with an (*) and cells marked “Unlimited.” However, as a result of this question, Section L.3.2.1 will be revised as stated in paragraph 2. below in order to clarify the page limits.

Question 034: Under Section L.3.2.1, will the Government consider removing Appendix I, Integrated Master Schedule, from the page limit associated with Volume I Technical Proposal?

Answer 034: No. The Goverment will not remove Appendix I, Integrated Master Schedule, from the page limit associated with Volume I Technical Proposal.

Question 035: Section L.3.5.1.3.1 requires that copies of subcontractor or teaming agreements be included in the Volume I Technical Proposal page count. Will the Government consider excluding the subcontractor and teaming agreements from the Volume I Technical Proposal page count?

Answer 035: Yes. Any subcontractor or teaming agreements required by L.3.5.1.3.1 shall be submitted as Appendix M and shall not be included in the page count of the Offeror's Volume I Technical Proposal. Sections L.3.2.1 and L.3.5.3.1 will be revised as stated in paragraph 2. to incorporate changes to the solicitation as a result of this answer.
