| Master # | Ship | Question Area | Section / Para # | Contractor Question | Government Response | |
| 1 | N/A | RFP | Section L | Please clarify if contractor may submit a proposal for one vessel only, or if contractor must submit for both vessels in order to be considered responsive. | Please refer to Section L, paragraphs IV and V, which state 'in order to be considered responsive to the solicitation, Offerors must submit proposals to complete ALL of the availabilities supported by the Offeror's available dry dock and pier facilities.' | |
| 2 | MUSTIN | RFP | Section C | Page 123 of 225 Specifications and Standards. C-211-H016 SPECIFICATIONS 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 unless specifically identified below. Bidder's 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. | All zero-tier and first-tier references are mandatory for use in accordance with C-211-H016. The contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with mandatory references. | |
| 3 | N/A | RFP | Section B | Page 103 of 225 NOTE E: SPECIAL AGREEMENT FOR GROWTH WITH A PRICE OF $25,000 OR LESS To make administration of small dollar value growth 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. Bidder's Question; 1) In NOTE E, will the Government clearly identify changes in drawings when they have determined that "no additional work is required"? | A drawing revision change where no additional work is required is being provided as an example of an administrative change which will follow the change process. In the event a change requires growth (which has an estimated price of $25,000 or less), resolution will follow the Small Dollar Value Growth procedures. The Government will not respond to requests for blanket assertions regarding drawing revisions. | |
