192. In reference to “Work Item 123-11-003” and Questions and Answers #4, number 87, answer b) states: “ERRATA 4 details the Government’s interpretation of 10% of each tank listed in 1.2.” Question 87 was in regards to multiple items. The following observations are made with regards to the response and ERRATA 4 changes:

1. Items 123-11-003 and 123-12-005 ERRATA 4 specs appears to provide the square footages of the entire tanks, not 10%.

2. Item 123-16-003, ERRATA 4 spec appears to provide square footage that is nearly all of the surface area of the tanks, not 10% of the tanks listed in 1.2.

Please confirm or correct specifications.

a. Q1) Concur, values of square footage given in paragraph 1.2 are in fact total area, paragraph 3 requires only 10% of values given.

b. Q2) Concur, values provided in paragraph 1.2 do not represent total area. ERRATA 5 shows full area of each tank listed in 1.2, paragraph 3 requires only 10% of values shown.
