4 I 113 CLAUSES Limitation of Liability The RFP contains the clause at 52.216-24 “Limitation of Government Liability.” Per FAR 16.603-4 this clause is only used in letter contracts. Given this is an IDIQ shouldn’t this clause be eliminated? C This was/will be addressed in Amendment 0003. Y 0003

5 C 69 CLAUSES Minimum Insurance Requirements The RFP contains a reference to the FAR clause at 52.228-5 “Insurance – Work on a Government Installation,” in the Section C provision referenced above, but the clause is not invoked in the contract.

Similarly, Table L-3 shows CLIN 0008 for all Availability Execution efforts, but Section B identifies CLIN 0010 as the DPIA Execution CLIN. Additionally, the solicitation package does not appear to provide a notional package nor pre-priced items list associated with a CIA, so it is not apparent how to provide CIA pricing. Please clarify

9 L 164 section L Work Item Hour and Material Summary

In the instructions for Section J-Exhibit L004 – Work Item Hour and Material Summary, the offeror is directed to “provide a separate Exhibit L004 for each CNO availability type”.

Does the Government instead intend this to be for each CNO AVAILABILITY (FY21 DPIA, FY21 PIA and FY23 DPIA) which would require three different Exhibit L004 worksheets?

In the proposal overview, it states that proposals must be prepared using the Arial typeface at a font size no smaller than 12-points. May smaller fonts or different fonts be used for headers, footers, exhibits, graphics, spreadsheets, and tables as long as they are easily readable?

C Offerors shall follow/adhere to the instructions within Section L of the RFP.

13 F 83 F Delivery/Redelivery Schedule In the Delivery/Redelivery Schedule for the Vessels table, the FY21 CVN 71 availability is listed as a CIA, however in all other listings of this availability it is shown as a DPIA. Please clarify. C This was addressed in Amendment 0001. Y 0001

59 CLAUSES Prohibition of Hexavalent Chromium (Jun 2013

The OFFEROR notes that there is an exception at 223.7304 to the prescription for this clause which states “The prohibition in 223.7303 does not apply to— (a) Legacy systems and their related parts, subsystems, and components that already contain hexavalent chromium.

However, alternatives to hexavalent chromium shall be considered by the appropriate official during system modifications, follow-on procurements of legacy systems, or maintenance procedure updates and (b) Additional sustainment related contracts (e.g., parts, services) for a system in which use of hexavalent chromium was previously approved.” Is the contractor correct to consider the CVN 68 class ships to be and/or contain legacy systems? If so, will the Government consider removing this clause?
