SUMMARY OF CHANGES (REVISED)

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002

Vendor Question:

Could you please comment on the significance of Line Item 0002 (Pre-production HVAC and Common Package).

Your Notional Schedule shows the material procurement and fabrication of this as "at contractor's discretion" yet the delivery date for this in Section F is one month after the First Article integrated system Acceptance. Further, there is no mention of this item under PMP key milestones listed in3.1 of the SOW, whereas, Production Efforts 1, 2 and 3 are listed.

I guess we are to see this as two consecutive built units (one gets installed in the railcar and the other is shipped within one month of each other). Is this correct?

Government Response:

The following lists the anticipated order of the activities associated with CLIN 0001:

1. Contract Award

2. Host Kickoff Meeting

3. Investigate Current Fleet of First-Generation D5 Railcars

4. Host Critical Design Review

5. Build a First Article HVAC LRU

6. Build a First Article Common Package

7. Build a First Article 29500 Series Package

8. Host Test Readiness Review

9. Perform First Article Testing on First Article HVAC LRU & Common Package

10. Perform a Physical Configuration Audit on First Article HVAC LRU, Common Package, and 29500 Series

Package

11. Receive a First-Generation D5 Railcar

12. Remove Aged Equipment from First-Generation D5 Railcar

13. Integrate First Article HVAC LRU, Common Package, 29500 Series Package, and Refresh Tracking

Module into a First-Generation D5 Railcar

14. Perform First Article Integrated System Testing on First Article Integrated System

15. Perform a Functional Configuration Audit

16. Host Production Readiness Review

The activities of CLIN 0001 are to be completed within 11 months after delivery order award.

The following lists the anticipated order of activities associated with CLIN 0002:

1. Build a Pre-Production HVAC LRU

2. Build a Pre-Production Common Package

3. Perform Production Testing on Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package

4. Package & Ship Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package to NSWC Crane

The activities of CLIN 0002 are to be completed within 12 months after delivery order award.

Paragraph 3.2.2.2.1 within the Statement of Work requires that the Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package satisfy the “drawing requirements of the Production Technical Data Package that is delivered at PRR.” The following are three possible examples to illustrate:

1.) The Contractor could choose to build the First Article and Pre-Production HVAC LRUs & Common Packages at the same time, but if the First Article HVAC LRU & Common Package fails First Article Testing such that design/drawing changes are necessary, the Contractor will be responsible for making changes to both the First Article and Pre-Production HVAC LRUs and Common Packages at no additional cost to the Government.

2.) The Contractor could choose to procure materials for the First Article and Pre-Production HVAC LRUs & Common Packages at the same time, but could defer assembling the Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package until the First Article HVAC LRU & Common Package passes First Article Testing.

3.) The Contractor could choose to wait to begin procuring materials for the Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package until the First Article HVAC LRU & Common Package passes First Article Testing.

Regardless of approach, the Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package:

Shall satisfy the “drawing requirements of the Production Technical Data Package that is delivered at PRR” Shall have passed Production HVAC LRU & Common Package Testing Shall have been packaged and shipped to NSWC Crane within 12 months after delivery order award

This Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package will ultimately be integrated into a First Article Second- Generation D5 Railcar by the developer of a Second-Generation D5 Railcar. The concurrent development of the Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package with the First Article HVAC LRU & Common Package reduces Government schedule risk of delaying the Second-Generation D5 Railcar development efforts.

The solicitation includes the clause 52.209-3 First Article Approval – Contractor Testing with its Alternate II.

Section (g) of the clause states, “Before first article approval, the Contracting Officer may, by written authorization, authorize the Contractor to acquire specific materials or components or to commence production to the extent essential to meet the delivery schedules. Until first article approval is granted, only costs for the first article and costs incurred under this authorization are allocable to this contract for (1) progress payments, or (2) termination settlements if the contract is terminated for the convenience of the Government. If first article tests reveal deviations from contract requirements, the Contractor shall, at the location designated by the Government, make the required changes or replace all items produced under this contract at no change in the contract price.”

The list in Paragraph 3.1 of the Statement of Work is a list of suggested key milestones to be addressed in the Program Management Plan. This list does not mention the activities associated with the Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package; however, the Government welcomes the addition of any milestones that better define the schedule associated with this contract. Plans and schedules associated with the Pre-Production HVAC LRU & Common Package fabrication and testing should be addressed in the Program Management Plan.

Vendor Question:

To help us with some confusion regarding the CLINs, could you please compare the Solicitation CLINs against the SOW Overview and CLIN Structure presented in Industry Day slides. There seems to be a discrepancy in the listed CLIN numbers and their descriptions. For instance CLIN 0004 in Solicitation refers to 29500 Series Package but in the slides this is a HVAC and Common Package item.

Government Response:

The information presented in the Solicitation takes precedence over the information in the Industry Day presentation. The CLIN structure presented in the 11 JULY 2013 Industry Day presentation was changed as a result of the Industry Day discussions. To help in understanding the updated CLIN structure, slides 87-94 of the Industry Day presentation have been updated and are being posted to www.fbo.gov along with this solicitation amendment.
