QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors. The answers provide clarification only and DO NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation.

10. Will MSC grant an extension of proposals submission deadline?

ANSWER: Yes.

11. Work Item 631:

a. Sheet 2 of Reference 2.1 – Plan View 11-C upper right corner has two (2) notes “OVERHEAD LIGHTING FIXTURE (RELOCATED TO B=90”)” and “CONDENSATE DRAIN (RELOCATED TO B= 90”)”. Please define the meaning of B=90”? In addition, please identify in what way or how the light fixture and condensate drain are to be relocated?

ANSWER: B is the distance from the deck to the bottom of the equipment in question. Both the light and condensate drain as currently installed interfere with the installation of the BERP and need to be raised to a height of 90 inches off the deck so as not to impact the BERP install.

b. Sheet 3 of Reference 2.1 – Elevation 23-A shows a measurement arrow at the top and the bottom of the bulkhead opening that should serve to locate where the new horizontal are to be installed. Please provide those dimensions?

ANSWER: What is being called a measurement arrow is actually a stiffener, similar to the others in the view. However the horizontals are dimensioned slightly to the right of the stiffeners in question (24 ½” for the top and 12” for the bottom)

c. Sheet 3 of Reference 2.1 – Plan View 17-A identifies piece #7 as “PADEYE (30 PLACES)”, however the quantity of piece #7 in the List of Material shows a quantity of 2. Please verify that the quantity of padeyes to be installed on the BERP is two (2) and the number of bolt holes in the BERP is thirty (30)?

ANSWER: Yes, the padeye quantity is two (2) and the bolt holes quantity is thirty (30). Drawing 8394032 has been updated to reflect.
