3.1 Provide licensed pilot, towing bridle, towboat service and waterborne security to tow the ship from NAVSTA San Diego to Contractor facility and back to NAVSTA San Diego, in accordance with 2.2 and 2.3.

when directed by the SUPERVISOR.

Contractor has reviewed the RFP, specification, and all identified references noting that, the intent of this work item appears to be for out of home port (San Diego) bidders.

Is this work item to be priced only by OUT of homeport (San Diego) Bidders and to be accomplished only if the contract is awarded outside of San Diego?

Contractor has competed numerous availabilities of vessels homeported in San Diego and this is the first time a NAVSEA tow has been incorporated on a vessel that is self propelled into the specification.

Page 150 of the solicitation section b) The IPD applicable to the USS CAPE ST GEORGE CG 71 must be included in all offers and is calculated using foreseeable costs for fuel, towing and pilot charges, and travel to the contractor’s facility by applicable Government personnel. The following chart provides the values to be included in all offerors’ price proposals to determine the offeror’s total evaluated price.

Question #1 - As this item is designated as an option item, is it the intent for the Government to use one of MSC's towing/salvage tugs to accomplish the tow and if they cannot accommodate the schedule have the contractor provide commercial towing services?

Contractor believes that by having the IPD stated within the solicitation as well as pricing the option item for the tow evaluated together essentially doubles the IPD for this vessel and gives San Diego contractors an unfair advantage prior to bidding any other work within the specification.

Question #2 - If the vessel has a propulsion system, why is it necessary to accomplish towing the vessel rather then have the vessel come under its own power?

Question #3 - Why does the vessel need to be towed both ways?

Towing Service Long Range is for contractors outside of San Diego area. Attachment J-14 has been updated in Amendment 0003 to note certain WIs that are to be priced by out of homeport bidders only.

1) The Contractor is responsible for providing towing service. This Work Item is applicable to out of home port bidders only.
