USS BOXER (LHD 4) DSRA Pre-Proposal Information (PPI) Questions
| Solicitation #: | N00024-19-R-4416 | Phone | ||
| TPPC | Michelle Wogu, Michelle.wogu@navy.mil | 202-781-4230 | ||
| Martha Bello, Contracting Officer, martha.bello@navy.mil | 202-781-3864 | |||
| The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors. The answers provide clarification only and DO NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation. | ||||
| To request references, drawings, RLARs, and Erratas being provided under this Solicitation Question & Answer Set, |
please contact the NAVSEA POCs.
| Q # | Work Item No. | Document Number/Title | Question | Government Response |
| 001 | RFP | Pg 103 | On page 103 of 189 of the Solicitation the Contractor notes the Governments inclusion of C-211-H016 SPECIFICATION AND STANDARDS (NAVSEA) (Oct 2018): |
(a) Definitions.
(i) A "zero-tier reference" is a specification, standard, or drawing that is cited in the contract (including its attachments).
(ii) A "first-tier reference" is either: (1) a specification, standard, or drawing cited in a zero-tier reference, or (2) a specification cited in a first-tier drawing.
(b) Requirements.
All zero-tier and first-tier references, as defined above, are mandatory for use. All lower tier references shall be used for guidance only.
CONTRACTOR QUESTION:
It is the Contractors understanding that all required references listed in paragraph 2 of a zero-tier specification (work item) are "first tier" references. However, when a zero-tier specification directs to use a first-tier reference as "guidance", bidders should not estimate the reference and only use it to aid in the development of an estimate of references that are to be accomplished.
1) Please concur or advise on this interpretation.
| Please estimate the reference. | |||
| 002 | RFP | Pg 88 | On Page 88 of 189 the Solicitation states, |
NOTE F: SPECIAL AGREEMENT FOR GROWTH WITH A PRICE OF $25,000 OR LESS
1. To make administration of small dollar value changes more efficient and less costly, both parties (Government and Contractor) agree to a pre-priced value for individual growth items with an estimated price of $25,000 or less. The Contract will include a firm fixed price for growth valued at $25,000.00 or less. Zero-dollar changes and administrative contract changes (for example, drawing revision change where no additional work is required) shall not be executed using the Small Dollar Value Growth procedures, but will follow the change process.
In NOTE F, will the Government clearly identify changes in drawings when they have determined that "no additional work is required"?
| Drawing changes that require no additional work will be identified on a case basis in the event the contractor requests a small dollar value change. | ||
| 003 | RFP | CONTRACTOR QUESTION: |
1) Since the ship was last painted in a US Shipyard, has there been any paint applied outside of the United States?
2) If so, verify that all paint applied outside of the United States met NAVSEA Standard Item FY20, 009-32, table 1 thru 8 requirements?
| No Paint applied Outside of the US to the Port Engineers and Project Managers Knowledge. | |||
