1. The following questions were submitted by potential Offerors. The Government’s response follows each question. Questions and Answers 045 through 047 are provided in this Amendment 0007. Questions and Answers 001 to 044 were provided in previous amendments.

Question 045: Section A of the revised RFP indicates the SLEP proposal due date as 6/22/18.

In Amendment 0006, question 43 answer, the Government extended the proposal due date to 7/13/18. What is the correct proposal due date?

Answer 045: The correct proposal due date is 13 July 2018. Section A of the RFP has been modified as shown below in paragraph 2.

Question 046: Since ITEM 0014 (Pre-SLEP) and ITEM 0022 (Pre-SLEP) prices are not option items and not are included in the Total Government Evaluated Price (TGEP) calculation if the work is performed at ACU5, it is recommended that the Government include these Items in the calculation of the TGEP for work accomplished at ACU 5.

Answer 046: The assumption in the question is not correct. If the work is to be performed at a Contractor-Owned facility, Pre-SLEP shipping by the Contractor is to be proposed under OPTION ITEM 0014. If the work is to be performed at ACU5, Pre-SLEP shipping by the Contractor is to be proposed under OPTION ITEM 0022. If the work is to be performed at ACU4, there is no Pre-SLEP shipping order or option.

If the work is to be performed at a Contractor-Owned facility, Post-SLEP shipping by the Contractor may occur under Order ITEM 0021. If the work is to be performed at ACU4, Post-SLEP shipping by the Contractor may occur under Order ITEM 0020. If the work is to be performed at ACU5, there is no Post-SLEP shipping order or option.

Regardless of the place of performance, the craft will have to be transported to ACU 5 at some point in time. To include OPTION ITEM 0022 in the TGEP and to not include Order ITEM 0020 in the TGEP results in an unequitable weighting of the two scenarios. The “Post-SLEP” transportation from ACU4 to ACU5 was converted from an “option” to an “order” via Amendment 0005 due to the difficulty of pricing shipping costs in the out-years. The calculation of the TGEP will not be changed.

Question 047: Paragraph L.3.5.2.3.1.1 states that for pricing evaluations purposes, Offerors shall assume a contract award date of 12/7/18. Paragraph F.1.1, Table F-1 has the LCAC 86 induction date of 12/4/18. Can the Government please clarify this inconsistency?

Answer 047: The RFP has been modified to account for this inconsistency as shown below in paragraph 2.
