ITEM NO: 437-90-001 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 8: In paragraph 3.2 Contractor is to accomplish inventory, bag, tag and turnover the material received in 5.3 required by the AIT when directed by the supervisor. Supervisor will provide notification 5 days prior to issuance.

Request government to provide complete outline of work scope that the AIT is to perform as per paragraph 3.2.; i.e., is contractor is to turn-over all GFM to the AIT?

QUESTION: Will the AIT perform 100% of the installation of the GFM including components not identified in the GFM list such as the flanged sections of perforated sounding tube, gun barrel rods, fasteners and spacers? Will the AIT accomplish electrical hook ups of electrical runs? Please provide additional guidance.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The only material turned over to the AIT from the MSR is the electrical connector for termination of the TDR heads to the Programmable Logic Control (PLC) and the PLC to the Machinery Control System.

ITEM NO: 992-11-018 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 11:

Install the announcing system listed in 1.3 and location in 1.2. For estimating purposes please provide quantity of speakers to be installed .

ITEM NO: CONTRACTOR QUESTION 66: Bidder has submitted 32 total PPI’s to-date, to which Bidder has not received responses to these submitted questions. These unanswered questions include missing references and required technical/work scope guidance/clarifications. This timeline, along with missing references and unanswered Bidder's Questions has a negative impact on the responsiveness of the required subcontractor/material vendor community who, along with the MSRs, are strained by the overall San Diego waterfront proposal workload.

In order to afford sufficient time to prepare/submit accurate proposals and to allow for adequate time for subcontractor/vendor solicitations/evaluations/selections, bidder requests the following;

1. Navy customer responses to all submitted Bidder's Questions as soon as possible, and

2. The proposal due date be extended from 02 April 2018 at 10:00 am, local time, San Diego, CA. to 23 April 2018 at 10:00 am, local time, San Diego, CA. A 14-day proposal due date extension.

ITEM NO: Multiple CONTRACTOR QUESTION 15:

Contractor has reviewed the shafting items 243-11-004, 243-11-002, 243-11-003, 243-12-004 these items are very similar in scope of work were they duplicated by mistake. Please Advise: GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: There is no work item 243-11-002 in the work specification package. The Government has included 243-12-004 for inspection of Port, and 243-11-003 for inspection for STBD. Additionally work items 243-11-004 and 243-12-002 are included as option items to be invoked prior to the beginning of the availability for replacing port and STBD shafting.

ITEM NO: 259-12-004 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 19:

ITEM NO: 993-11-001 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 20:

ITEM NO: 243-11-004 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 21: The basic spec. reads:

(V)(G) Magnetic Particle Testing

3.10.3 Accomplish a dye penetrant test of each new shaft IAW paragraph 243-1.1.7.2 of 2.4… (S9086-HM-STM-010/ CH-243)

Paragraph 243-1.1.7.2 does not clearly define MT or PT. Contractor requests clarification on what type of NDT is being requested, MT or PT?

ITEM NO: 243-12-002 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 22: The basic spec. reads:

(V)(G) Magnetic Particle Testing

3.10.3 Accomplish a dye penetrant test of each new shaft IAW paragraph 243-1.1.7.2 of 2.4… (S9086-HM-STM-010/ CH-243)

Paragraph 243-1.1.7.2 does not clearly define MT or PT. Contractor requests clarification on what type of NDT is being requested, MT or PT?

ITEM NO: 259-10-004 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 23: The basic spec. reads:

3.5 Vee-out and weld 124 linear inches of cracks on each exhaust collector listed in 1.3 for a total of 124 linear inches….

There are (4) each dust collectors as per paragraph 1.3 and the way paragraph 3.5 reads is to do 124” x 4 (ea. dust collectors) = 496” linear inches of weld to PT for a total of 124 inches; which does not make sense.

Contractor requests clarification on length of cracking repair being accomplished.

ITEM NO: 259-13-001 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 24: The basic spec. reads:

3.4.2 Accomplish the requirements of 009-12 of 2.1 to include Table 2, Column F, Lines 1-10.

3.5 Accomplish the requirements of 009-12 of 2.1, including Table 1, Column F, Lines 1-10.

Contractor found that the same parts which are being inspected have two different welding tables being called out, and Contractor believes there was a typo in paragraph 3.4.2 for Table 2 vice table 1.

Contractor requests clarification if paragraph 3.4.2 is correct or if there was a typo made?

ITEM NO: 505-11-001 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 25: Contractor found that paragraph 1.2 states “throughout the ship.”

In order to achieve a completive/ accurate bid, contractor requires how many different locations the SAB fittings will be replaced throughout the ship.

Historically, an SAB union fitting inspect item is accomplished prior to a replacement item.

Contractor requests the silicon aluminum bronze inspection report be accomplished prior to current availability, or for an accurate account of fitting being replaced, or identification of spaces, for an accurate and completive bid for the number of NDT dye penetrate inspections required for P1 class piping.

ITEM NO: 113-11-001 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 26:

Paragraph 3.10 states; "Remove existing, fit and install new each zinc anode identified in 1.3.11 in each bilge drain well listed in 1.3.1 through 1.3.9 and located in 1.2, in accordance with 2.5, using 2.7 and 2.8 for guidance".

Contractor Question: Zinc anodes are identified on paragraph 1.3.12 not in 1.3.11, unless otherwise directed contractor will use paragraph 1.3.12 for the identification & material pricing of zinc anodes.

ITEM NO: RFP Attachment J4 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 27:

ITEM NO: RFP Attachment J4 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 28:

ITEM NO: RFP Attachment J4 CONTRACTOR QUESTION 29:

ITEM NO: Section B - LOE to Completion Hours and Material Values; Attach J-4 Pricing Workbook Discrepancy CONTRACTOR QUESTION 30: The RFP (Section B, Note A) depicts the LOE to Completion Manhours and Materials values as follows;

Manhours: 119,199 Materials: $6,750,736

However, the Attachment J-4 Pricing Workbook, “Labor&Material Growth Rates” Tab depicts the following LOE to Completion Manhours and Materials Values;

Manhours: 227,247 Materials: $6,572,165

As such, there is a discrepancy between Section B LOE to Completion Hours and Materials Values and the J-4 Pricing Workbook Growth Rates Hours and Materials Values.

In addition, there appears to be errors in the J-4 Pricing Workbook formulas (“Labor&Material Growth Rates” Tab); i.e., The Proposed Labor & Material Burden Rate Growth Price Cells for each CLIN appear to be adding erroneous other Cells and Data.

Please advise which LOE to Completion Hours and Materials Values are correct, and please issue an RFP Amendment that updates either Section B or Attachment J-4 accordingly.

ITEM NO: CONTRACTOR QUESTION 31: USS HIGGINS (DDG-76) FY18 EDSRA RFP issued 1/31/2018 has a due date of 4/02/2018. This current due date allows contractors roughly 51 planning days to prepare/provide a robust proposal. This timeline, along with missing references, is having a negative effect on the responsiveness of the subcontractor/material vendor community who, along with the MSRs, are strained by the overall San Diego waterfront proposal workload.

Below is a list of missing references.
