SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

VENDOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Please provide the volume of the tank to include the filling pressure. This information is essential to contemplating costs and pricing.

a. The tank holds 300 GL. It can be assumed that the filling pressure is somewhat higher than 110 PSI

2. Please clarify why a CLIN is labeled "Hot Fill" at an estimated 300 gallons. [Our] understanding of a hot fill is a fill when the tank is empty or near empty and the tank has warmed (due to a lack of cold cryogenic argon). A hot fill requires a vendor to have a technician onsite in addition to the driver and during the fill so pressure can be monitored both at the tank and the truck. Tasking an additional technician incurs additional labor and travel costs. Thus, a hot fill typically requires a "hot fill line item" to address those costs. A hot fill is an event and typically is addressed by a unit of measure of "each", not by gallons of the product.

a. The hot fill is on a separate line as an option because it’s for emergencies only, in the event the situation as described above occurs. The total cost should include the cost of the technician as well as the actual product. We have changed the unit of measure for the hot fills from 300 GL to 1 EA.

3. Telemetry is mentioned. Telemetry units can be set to trigger scheduling a refill when the tank reaches a set level (reorder point). There would be no need to limit refills to 300 gallons, but rather fill the tank full each delivery based upon the level or residual product in the tank. [We] monitor telemetry units at our central logistics center 24/7/365 and dispatches deliveries upon the tank reaching its reorder point. If telemetry is to be required, the price schedule should include a line item for the monthly rental of telemetry units and service. Telemetry pricing should be kept separate from the price of liquid argon. Liquid argon is a variable cost (depending upon quantity delivered). Telemetry is a fixed cost.

a. Please disregard the mention of telemetry. The gauge can be manually checked by the technical point of contact (TPOC), rendering the use of telemetry unnecessary.

The TPOC will work with the awardee to order tank re-fills as necessary.

4. Based on the Navy's structuring of CLINs, it would not be feasible to monitor PO funding levels with such complexity. A contractor could flag a PO when 75% of funds are exhausted. Any other variation would require tracking of a complex series of CLIN funding that is not reasonably supportable. [We] hope the Navy will consider a more straightforward CLIN structure that not only supports telemetry reorder processes, but also supports

a. The successful offeror will need to let the contracting officer (KO) know when they have delivered 75% of the total allowance which is roughly 1,125 GL and not deliver more than 1500 GL to avoid exceeding the NTE amount. It is also the TPOCS responsibility to track ordering to avoid any unauthorized commitments.

The rest of the CLINS are options that are one time deliveries in the event the tank runs dry.
