Contractor notes that both reference 2.3 and 2.13 are both identified for Pre‐Fab and since they are not identified to be accomplished this would lead to a reasonable conclusion that Pre‐Fab has contracted out under another contract and supported by reference 2.28, 4720‐CG70‐FY21 Rev 13, Ship Alteration Material Summary (4720/3) that states “SHALL BE FURNISHED PREFABRICATED BY MANUFACTURER AND SHIPPED TO INSTALLER”. Paragraph 3.1.3 states, “Cut and fit each raw material provided as GFM in 5.3 to the appropriate size for install”.
