The following items are applicable to this modification:

REVISED SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The purpose of this amendment to solicitation N00024-21-R-2253 is to:

a) Respond to questions submitted by potential Offerors;

b) Revise Section J – LIST OF DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS;

c) Revise Section L – INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS.

1. The following questions were submitted by potential Offerors. The Government’s response follows each question. Questions and Answers 008 through 013 are provided in this Amendment 0002.

Question 008: Can the Government provide to Offerors the following reference documents: COMSCINST 9330.6 - Accommodations Standards for Military Sealift Command Ships, and T9070-AB-PRO-010 - NAVSEA Design Practices and Criteria Manual for General Arrangement Design?

Answer 008: No, COMSCINST 9330.6 and T9070-AB-PRO-010 are sub tier reference documents that do not pertain to YRBM.

Question 009: Page 133 of the RFP states “Drawings shall be submitted in an AutoCAD 2012™ compatible format and PDF unless otherwise specified” and in Attachment J-2 on page i, it states that “Drawings shall be submitted in an AutoCAD 2013™compatible format and PDF format.” Which AutoCAD compatible format should be used, 2012 or 2013?

Answer 009: AutoCAD 2013 compatible format is correct. Section L.2(b)(4) of the RFP is updated accordingly.

Question 010: Item 401a for the LAN Equipment Room states that “The LAN Equipment Room shall be provided with a minimum area of 24.2 m2 (260 ft2) of usable space within the total LAN Equipment Room’s total area.

Usable space is defined by unobstructed floor space as well as a minimum height of 203.2 cm (80 inches) from the walking surface to any obstructions overhead. The LAN Equipment Room shall have a minimum length of 4 m (13 ft.) and a minimum width of 6 m (20 ft.).” Does the space require a minimum length of 4 m (13 ft.) and a minimum width of 6 m (20 ft.) if the minimum area of usable space is met? The width of the deck house with an adequate passageway width makes this challenging to meet.

Answer 010: No. The LAN Equipment Room does not require a minimum length and width if the area requirement and usable space requirements are met. The J-1 YRBM Requirements Matrix is updated to remove "The LAN Equipment Room shall have a minimum length of 4 m (13 ft.) and a minimum width of 6 m (20 ft.)".

Question 011: The ABS Accommodation Barge notation Section 3 3.3/3.3.1 Structural Fire Protection requires the deckhouse to be subdivided into two main vertical zones for deckhouses exceeding 40 m, although the vertical zone can be extended to a maximum of 48 m. If the deckhouse is between 40 and 48 m, will the Navy ask ABS to waive this requirement and allow a single vertical zone?

Answer 011: No. The Navy will not pursue a waiver for the ABS requirement listed. All ABS structural fire protection requirements shall be met.

Question 012: P 135, Per L.8.1.1., the Technical Proposal (Volume I) shall be organized in the following format, with attachments, if any, incorporated in the relevant sections:

(a) Cover Letter, Title Page, Table of Contents

(b) Factor 1.0 Technical Merit of Design

(c) Factor 2.0 Facility and Management Feasibility

(d) Factor 3.0 Past Performance

Can the government please clarify whether it prefers for the proposal to include addendums, calculations, drawings, and estimates in an appendix at the end of each Factor or an appendix at the end of Volume I since they are not included in the page count?

Answer 012: The Government prefers that all items excluded from the Volume I page count be added as appendices at the end of Volume 1.

Question 013: P 138, Per L.8.1.1. (c) Factor 2: Facility and Management Feasibility:

(3) Key Personnel: Offerors shall:

a) Provide resumes for no more than five (5) total key personnel (one in each category either Offeror or proposed major subcontractors) who will be dedicated to the YRBM Program in each program management, engineering, quality assurance, production, and tests and trials that demonstrate sufficient experience and knowledge necessary to support the successful accomplishment of the requirements of the solicitation. Can the government please confirm that resumes are excluded from the proposal page count, as done in most NAVSEA RFPs?

Answer 013: Yes, resumes are excluded from the proposal page count. Section L.8.1 of the RFP is updated accordingly.
