Answer: Section C.12 Digital Delivery of Data is hereby changed:

From:

“Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other information is now frequently required to be made in digital form rather than in hardcopy form.”

To:

“Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other information may be made in digital form rather than in hardcopy form.”

10. Question: RFP - Section L, section number 3.4 Volume IV – Factor 3, page 80 of 100. Should the reference to the Direct Labor Rate Substantiation Table in this section read Attachment 12 rather than Attachment 13?

Answer: Yes, this reference is corrected to read “Attachment 12” via this Amendment (0002).

11. Question: RFP - Section C, section number 4.3.2.2 Staffing Plan, subsection a., pages 86-87 of 100. Relative to the table defining Recommended Allocation of Total Direct Labor Hours Across Three Groups of Experience

Levels, is it possible to have a Mid-Level labor category that is filled by a person with greater than 15 years of relevant professional experience in their specific task area, based on position requirements (e.g. responsibilities, level of supervision required, level of independent responsibility, etc.)?

Answer: The Recommended Allocations of Total Direct Labor Hours identify only the recommended percentages of distribution. The Government is not stating/directing how an offeror shall propose. The Government is only stating what is recommended for this effort based on the Government Estimate..

12. Question: RFP - Section J, Attachments 4 and 6, page 53 of 100; Section L, section number 4.3.2.2 Staffing

Plan, pages 86 and 87 of 100. Section L, section number 4.3.2.2 Staffing Plan, subsection b. starts off reading:

"To accompany Section J, Attachment 4, the offeror’s staffing plan…". Section J identifies Attachment 4 as

"Wage Determination 05-2017 - Revision 21 dated 12/29/2015". Earlier, in the same section (4.3.2.2), the

Staffing Plan is identified as Attachment 6, identified in Section J as "Staffing Plan (No Cost)". Is subsection b.

supposed to read:: "To accompany Section J, Attachment 6, the offeror’s staffing plan…"?

Answer: Yes, this is corrected to read “Attachment 6” (Amendment 0002).

13. Question: RFP - Section J, Attachments 7 & 8, page 53 of 100; Section L, section number 4.3.2.2 Staffing Plan, subsection a., page 86 of 100. The seventh bulleted element under Section L, section number 4.3.2.2 Staffing

Plan, subsection a. reads: "Number of labor hours proposed for each base and option year, in accordance with

Section J, Attachment 8". Section J, Attachment 8, is entitled "Subcontracting Plan Review Sheet", and does not contain labor hours proposed for each base and option year. Section J, Attachment 7, entitled "Staffing Plan

(with Cost)", does contain the number of labor hours proposed for each base and option year. Should the seventh bulleted element under Section L, section number 4.3.2.2 Staffing Plan, subsection a. read: "Number of labor hours proposed for each base and option year, in accordance with Section J, Attachment 7"?

Answer: As this requirement has a five year ordering period, there is no Base and/or Option period under this RFP.

The number of labor hours are to be proposed for each year. The seventh bulleted element is corrected via

Amendment 0001 to read “Section J, Attachment 7”.

14. Question: RFP - Section L, section number 4.4.1 Recent and Relevant Past Performance Questionnaires, pages

89 and 90 of 100. Section 4.4.1 contains two sentences that read: "The contracts identified should demonstrate in-depth knowledge and successful implementation of contracts of similar scope and complexity to the solicitation. Similar scope and complexity means having performed most of the types of support efforts identified in the SOW and having provided at least 63,000 man-hours per year under a support services contract." As written, the last sentence implies that contractors and subcontractors cannot use contracts that did not provide at least 63,000 man-hours per year under a support services contract to justify past performance in support of this contract. This would be particularly limiting for small business subcontractors. Would the

Government consider rewording these two sentences to read: "The contracts identified should demonstrate in-depth knowledge and successful implementation of contracts of similar scope and complexity to the solicitation.

For purposes of evaluating similarity in scope and complexity, the identified contract should have performed most of the types of support efforts identified in the SOW and employed personnel totaling similar labor expenditure (63,000 man-hours per year) under a support services contract."?

Answer: The RFP is amended via this Amendment (0002) with the suggested language in Section L, paragraph

4.4.1

15. Question: RFP - Section I, Clause 52.216-19 ORDER LIMITATIONS, pages 45 and 46 of 100.

Paragraph (b) of this clause addresses maximum orders, indicating that the Contractor is not obligated to honor:

Any order for a single item in excess of $35,000,000;

Any order for a combination of items in excess of $35,000,000; or

A series of orders from the same ordering office within Five (5) days that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in subparagraph (1) or (2) above.

Does this clause set a Not-to-Exceed limit of $35M on the total contract value?

Answer: RFP - Section I, Clause 52.216-19 ORDER LIMITATIONS does not set a Not-to-Exceed limit of $35M on the total contract value.

16. Question: Section L does not state Volume Number for the completed/signed Standard Form 33. Does it belong in Volume 1 along with fill-ins for Section H and K or does it belong in Volume IV with Section B?

Answer: The completed/signed Standard Form (SF) 33page 1 shall be submitted with the proposal Volume 1.

Section L has been updated via Amendment 0001.

17. Question: The second paragraph of section 3.3.5 Substitution of Vessels/Equipment of the scope of work states that if we have to substitute a vessel or equipment, it cannot result in additional cost to the government. This requirement is inappropriate in a cost plus contract where the cost of a substitute vessel, particularly on short notice, may very well be an increased cost that should be allowable under a cost reimbursement contract.

Answer: This paragraph is revised via this Amendment (0002) from:

Any vessel/equipment nominated as a substitute shall result in no additional cost to the Government, shall meet the same characteristics, and shall be similarly fitted and otherwise equal or superior in performance to the vessel/equipment for which it is being substituted. The use of the substituted vessel/ equipment shall result in no operational delay and shall not excuse failure to perform the requirements of the contract requirements.

To:

Any vessel/equipment nominated as a substitute shall result in no additional cost to the Government unless the

Contracting Officer provides prior written approval, shall meet the same characteristics, and shall be similarly fitted and otherwise equal or superior in performance to the vessel/equipment for which it is being substituted. The COR has no authority to approve additional costs. Any additional costs not approved in advance and in writing by the

Contracting Officer, will be unallowable. The use of the substituted vessel/ equipment shall result in no operational delay and shall not excuse failure to perform the requirements of the contract requirements.

18. Section 3.2.5 Operations Support states that Meal Service is to be provided. Is there a reason it is also not stated in Section 3.1 for Trial Support?

Answer: Meal Service is required during Operations, which is inclusive of Trial Support and Maintenance periods. This section has been clarified in the Statement of Work.

19. Section L, Paragraph 2.1, Proposals should be receive no later than 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Should this not read “Pacific Daylight Time” since Daylight Savings’ time starts on March 12 2017?

Answer: This has revised to read “Pacific Daylight Time” via Amendment 0001.

20. Section L, Page 85 after the Senior Mechanical Engineer Desired Qualifications, the RFP states the Offeror shall provide “A minimum of five and a maximum of 10 resumes shall be submitted” Should this state four resume’s vice five”

Answer: This verbiage is revised to read “a minimum of four and a maximum of 10 resumes shall be submitted” via Amendment 0001

SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been modified:

STATEMENT OF WORK

TITLE: NSWCCD SEAFAC Operations and Maintenance Services

1 Scope

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Detachment Puget Sound (NSWCCD DET Puget Sound) requires site logistics, operations, technical integration services and program management assistance, in support of signature silencing programs for naval ships and undersea systems. The effort in this SOW falls under Product and

Service Codes (PSCs) R425 and AD24. In general, this work includes:

Operational and logistical support for full scale signature measurement trials and other signature assessment tests

Operation, maintenance, integration, installation and repair of facilities that are required to support the mission of performing acoustic measurement, testing and analysis at SEAFAC.

Special project support for full scale signature measurement trials and other signature assessment tests.

2 Background

The Signatures Department (Code 70) of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is responsible for development of stealth technology to support Navy surface ship and submarine program goals. As part of its mission, Code 70 develops, operates and maintains major acoustic research and development (R&D) facilities at the Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility (SEAFAC).

Code 70 provides services and facilities to accomplish acoustic data acquisition and analysis in support of surface ship and submarine R&D projects funded by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), other Navy and

Department of Defense (DoD) sponsors, and non-Government organizations. Non-government organizations are efforts funded and conducted through the Work for Private Parties (WFPP) Act. Periodically, NSWCCD conducts acoustic trials on ships of the cruise ship industry and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. The primary objective of the technical efforts described in this SOWis to support NAVSEA, NSWCCD and Code 70 signature measurement, integration, installation and assessment testing, acoustic stealth technology development, and related research programs.

SEAFAC is the primary acoustic measurement facility for Pacific Fleet submarines. SEAFAC has two major test sites – a static site where the test vessel is suspended at various depths for specific noise investigations and an underway site for performing noise investigations at various speed conditions and depths. SEAFAC was designed to measure and characterize the acoustic signatures of USS Los Angeles (SSN 688) and USS Ohio (SSBN 726) Class submarines. The SEAFAC Static Site was upgraded in 2006 with a High Gain Measurement System (HGMS) to assess the stealth of the USS Seawolf (SSN 21), USS Virginia (SSN 776) Class, and the soon to be constructed USS

Columbia (SSN-771) Class submarines. The SEAFAC Underway Site was upgraded in 2008 to measure and characterize submarine signatures through all operationally significant speed and depth combinations.

The majority (greater than 75%) of the work performed on this contract vehicle will be conducted at the SEAFAC acoustic measurement facility and the following description of work will reflect that. The Contractor may also be required to attend meetings at Bangor, WA.. Additionally, various tugs, barges, passenger and research vessels are required to support acoustic trial operations, integrations, installations and maintenance efforts at SEAFAC.
