QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS – PART THREE

The following questions and answers are provided for informational purposes only and DO

NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation. Any changes to the solicitation deemed necessary as a result of any questions answered herein will be incorporated via amendment.

Question 53: If Attachment L is to be used to develop the SB Plans offerors need to know if the estimates include crew travel, crew overtime and award fee. If included in the estimates, these amounts need to be identified and deducted for the purpose of developing a Small Business

Subcontracting Plan.

Answer 53: Attachment L is provided to assist offerors in the development of Small Business

(SB) Participation Plans and the SB Subcontracting Plans. It is noted that crew travel will not be reimbursable under the contemplated contract. For pricing purposes, the annual amount estimated for overtime budgets is $1M per ship ($6M total annually). The potential Award Fee was not included in the estimated reimbursables.

Question 54: Due to the volume of significant changes to the RFP since the original release date will MSC please issue a conformed copy of the solicitation with all revisions included? The government is at risk of offerors not including important items because of this issue. It is difficult to go back and forth between the original RFP and the amendments.

Answer 54: A conformed copy of the solicitation is provided with Amendment 005.

Question 55: Section B 1.10 states in RAV that the rates in the contract shall be payable at the applicable fully burdened rates stipulated in Pricing Sheet A. The complement shall be as described in Section 19, and include full wages and benefits for each crew member for 8 hours per day 7 days a week. However, there is not a Form A pricing sheet for RAV for the BOBO or the STOCKHAM. Additionally, Form C in Amendment # 003 has the RAV crew wages for

BOBO and STOCKHAM crossed out and the cells protected from data entry. Please confirm that the offer is not required to price crew wages in RAV for the BOBO or the STOCKHAM for this submission.

Answer 55: The RAV rate is intended to include the cost for crew wages and fringes. Revised

Pricing Forms are provided in Amendment 0005.

Question 56: There is a problem with following Form A cells that should be linked (but are not) to Form C for Stockham FOS: D141, D142, D143, D153, D158, D162, F141, F142, F143, F153, F158, F162, H153, H158, H162, I153, I158, and I162. Since the sheet is locked, offerors cannot put the links in. There are also issues with Form A- Schedule of Basic Pricing Data for Option

Period 4 (FY20).

Answer 56: Links between cells in Forms A and Forms have been corrected in the revisied

Pricing Forms provided with Amendment 0005.
