QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS #1

The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors. The answers provide clarification only and DO NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation.

1. In reference to work efforts to be performed at Government provided facilities/pier location, please provide a detailed list of NAVSEA Standard Item (NSI) 009-72 requirements that will not be performed by the Navy customer at the Government provided facility/pier location? For work efforts to be performed at Government provided facilities/pier location, please provide a detailed list of NSI 009-72 requirements that will be performed by the bidder/contractor?

a. NSI 009-72 is only applicable when the ship is at the Contractor's facility. If

Government provided facilities/pier location is utilized for the pier side work efforts (i.e. Naval Base San Diego), the Government will perform all security requirements of NSI 009-72.

2. Bidder requests clarification of the Interport Differential (IPD) value for San Diego of

$175,851? For a bidder located in the homeport of San Diego and planning to perform the proposed work within the homeport of San Diego, what cost elements have been estimated in the San Diego IPD value of $175,851?

a. The $175,851 IPD value for San Diego includes the following cost elements:

• Travel for Planning Yard Representatives from Norfolk Naval Shipyard,

• Travel for Precision Landing System Certification teams from Patuxent River, MD, and

• Travel for Ship’s Force for Training outside of San Diego, CA.

These cost elements are included in the IPD value for San Francisco, CA &

Portland, OR as well. In order to ensure traceability of these costs in the IPD differential model, NAVSEA elected to include these elements as positive values in each port, instead of not listing them for San Diego and subtracting them from

San Francisco, CA & Portland, OR IPD values.

3. In reference to “Work Item 304-11-001, Multiple Cable Penetrator (MCP); repair”, this
