9 992-11-014

There is an item to provide Temp Services to the Electric Living Barge (992-11-011). This item, 992-11-014 was written for out of port offerors as the item has repairs, barge coordinator and cleaning, which is done by others. This item has been designated as such in some solicitations. Please confirm Norfolk is NOT to price 992-11-014. All offerors are to price all work items accordingly.

10 992-11-013

There is an item to provide Temp Services to the Steam Living Barge (992-11-012). This item, 992-11-013 was written for out of port offerors as the item has repairs, barge coordinator and cleaning, which is done by others.

This solicitation was received 8/9/23 along with the work package. However, there were no drawings received for the original package. We immediately requested a CD and received it 8/16/23. The Government has allowed 60 calendar days which does not take into consideration any holidays or delays in receipt of Government Furnished Information, for example, the CD with

ALL the required drawings. Every solicitation ends up with a bid date extension near the end of the process which is counterproductive to the Contractor's ability to provide accurate and competitive proposals. Waiting until the last week or two of the proposal process to extend the bid date is harmful to our small business subcontractors, does not allow sufficient time to analyze and incorporate responses into the estimate, and further frustrates a proper review process degrading the quality of the proposal necessary for a FFP proposal. Many questions will arise from industry and in most cases we cannot finalize estimates until answers are received and in many cases Government answers will generate even more questions. Further, the

Government has tied all bidders questions to be submitted in sets and only to be submitted by a certain date, rather than submitting as issues come up. This further delays answers and the bid process. This is an extremely large package to put together in only 60 days even if all Government Furnished Information (GFI) was provided. As of this submittal, there are over 27 drawings/references still missing. These missing references have been submitted on the PPI form. This late GFI further hinders the bid process for such a large package. The Contactor respectfully requests a 3 week extension to this bid to allow the drawings to be recieved and distributed to subcontractors and vendors for pricing of labor and material. No extension granted at this time.

The following Shipalts list a 4720 in each item and refers to Kitted Material in Para 5. These 4720's were not provided in the package. Please provide all missing 4720's identifing what is in each kitted material: 160-90-001, 311-90-001, 313-90-001, 437-90-003, 484-90-001, 663-90-001, 665-90-001, 721-90-001, 763-90-001, 772-90-001.
