SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0004 Q&A

Q1. Amendment 0002, A21 states, "Current COLUMBIA Level 1 Drawing has been uploaded into E-TIC at the following location: TIH Technical Data>Level 1 and Level 2 Drawings>Level 1>COLUMBIA." The BYG-1 combat system level drawing has been uploaded but not the corresponding Sonar drawing for COLUMBIA. Will the Government provide a Sonar Level 1 or an update to the "TIH SONAR Hardware_Rev.xlsx" document to include the TIH Sonar configuration information for COLUMBIA?

A1. Sonar/ARCI Level 1 drawing for COLUMBIA class submarines is not available. Therefore, Attachment 10 Worksheet 10G Shipset Stepladder Pricing Table is revised to delete the TI-20 ARCI NEWCON COLUMBIA to TI-20 variant. The TIH Sonar configuration information for COLUMBIA is not known at this time.
