Work Item 992-21-001, Defuel Ship; accomplish: Contractor has reviewed the RFP, specification, and all identified references noting that, the intent of this items work scope appears to be for out of home port (San

Diego) bidders. Historically in the port of San Diego naval vessels are typically defueled prior to arrival at the

Contractors facility and are typically refueled after departing the Contractor facility. Contractor note Attachment

J-4 Pricing Workbook identifies this Specification as part of the Basic package and not as an Option. Can the Section C - Descriptions and Specifications, SCOPE OF WORK.Paragraph 2.1 states, "The required place of performance for the Availabilities shall be the contractor’s facility" additionally, attachments J-3 Execution

Milestones and Key Event Date documents also identify the first milestone as, "Avail Start at KTR Facility" and appear to be generalized statements prepared for a coast wide bid for out of homeport (San Diego) bidders. The contractor has reviewed previously awarded contracts, both Coast wide and SDMAC, and notes that availabilities accomplished in the Port of San Diego start pier side at NAVSTA 32nd Street for the first 14 Calendar days. This allows the customer and ship's force time to prepare the ship to enter contractor’s facility. Activities listed are not all inclusive: Ship's Force movement to Berthing Barge and Ship's Force off-load of stores, material, and portable equipment. This also allows the contractor an opportunity to set-up temporary services; installation of staging, drain, disposal, and dewatering of specific water systems; installation of the AN/SPY-1D Antenna

Protective Covers and installation of deck protection prior to arrival in the contractor’s facility. Can bidder's
